"So basically support for tech that nobody has or will in the near future?"

I guess your post should be amended to say, "They have good games if you have really low standards, are okay with crap controls, enjoy watered down ports of games that are better on other systems, and like games that came out in previous decades." Which, nearly everything you listed can fall into one of the four.…

You say "now" like consoles have finally "caught up". They're the same system they've always been. If they can run the game in 2012, they could've run it in 2005/6 as well, and it wasn't an 8 year old game then.

Planetside 2 is definitely the most interesting looking MMO I've seen in a while, if it delivers. I was hopeful for Blade & Soul too, 'til gameplay footage actually surfaced and showed that it's not real-time combat, but rather a typical MMO combat system with over the top animations (which are quite impressive, but…

Meh. Call me when an MMO comes out that moves past the cooldown-based hotbar. This looks like nothing more than WoW Arenas as a standalone product. (Which probably means it'll get a new patch every 2 weeks that changes some arbitrary numbers just slightly enough that everyone can bitch and reroll classes/quit the game…

Axe doesn't help people smell better, it just makes malodorous people smell worse.

You can't play basketball at the same level as NBA players, just as you can't race cars at the same level as F1 and NASCAR drivers. It's not as simple as, "If you wanna drive, just get in your car and floor the gas. Why do you need a game for that?" It's about playing at the highest level of athletic ability, and…

"by your criteria most N64 games are terrible because come on, that really low poly 3D looks absolutely terrible"

Yep. Developed by Bizarre (of Project Gotham Racing) and published by Activision. Sony had nothing to do with any of it.

I feel people who say this are either a.) remembering the game as it was back then, or b.) can't take off their rose-tinted glasses. Was Super Mario Kart fun when it came out? Yes. Is it fun now? Not even close. Not that SMK is to blame. I'd argue that no racing game prior to the 3D era is ever worth playing today.…

Uhhh, CTR sold a fuckload of copies and was highly praised (it's one of the best reviewed games on the PSOne). I wouldn't call it "overlooked" by any means.

The game doesn't have to play like Wipeout or F-Zero to maintain a sense of speed. Crash Team Racing and Double Dash were both kart racers that did a great job at maintaining a sense of speed (and also why CTR is STILL superior to nearly every Mario Kart game even 13 years after it came out - suck it MK fans). It's…

This asshat lost his star long before the new commenting system. Reading these posts, it's not hard to see how.

Your local shop is gouging you then. I don't see any game in his entire ensemble that you can't find at Goodwill or Salvation Army for under $5.

It's practically a new game already and they're only about 1/2 way through implementing the changes. Unless you want the game to swap genres or settings, it's about as big of a departure as you can realistically imagine while still remaining under the same brand/banner. I loathed the game in beta (and at launch), then…

You have clearly never had to write for a gaming site before. This isn't an article about the name; it's an article about a new character announced for Skylander Giants. Here's the thing: You get sent a press kit containing the news (usually a simple release statement, but sometimes screenshots and videos to go along…

Copy-pasting my response to the other guy who said your penis solves Jack's problems:

Ah, my apologizes. Hard to tell with how simple-minded a lot of the comments in this thread are. In any case, my point still stands. I really enjoyed her character too, though a lot seem to dislike her because she was "a bitch"; which I can understand, even though I disagree. Still, I think as long as you're on either…

Acting out was still only a small part of who she was. Remove the abuse, and she's still a foul-mouthed bitch who won't think twice about fucking you up, which (imo) makes her awesome and also where her true personality as a character shines. She's not a bitch because she's an "abused girl acting out"; she's a bitch…

Most gamers are idiots. They want characters that fit into stereotypical archetypes and get angry when something breaks the mold. She was a foul-mouthed bitch and sometimes a complete asshole to you. That's not "likable", so they cast her aside as a terrible character. Their idea of a "bad" friendly character is…
