The difference is that it takes time for optimal builds to be created and there can be multiple builds depending on what roll you want to play. Then a patch comes and re-balances the game and the builds have to be reassessed and updated, some builds are broken and others become relevant, then it happens again with the…

Compare it to the amount their competitors have lost in the past. Then compare it to how OFTEN their competitors have posted a lost. Compared to the billions their competitors have sunk into their consoles a one year loss of 500 million in exchange for 15 million hardware unit sales and multiple software million…

PC, PS3, if you're serious you would be using a fight stick anyways.

First of all you can't count third-party titles being similar as the fault of Nintendo.

What the hell are you talking about? You must never read Nintendo articles. People are constantly complaining about Nintendo releasing the same game. They even stretch it so far that they consider any Mario game where he jumps as the same game. That and complaining about new IP's are the two most common complaints…

The number of games don't mean anything if no one wants them. They don't have a system-seller that they can proudly proclaim as "Only on the Vita."

3DS didn't have competition so they could afford to take their time. The Vita comes out right as the 3DS is starting to snowball.

I wish he actually did.

The tablet controller looks like it has all the fixings of a normal controller too.

Because it meshes well, it's been released for a while, it isn't pay2win, it's polished. Why does everyone circlejerk over Minecraft when Dwarf Fortress did it early, better, is more complex, and is free?

That's the way they suggest, not the ONLY way. Those quests where they suggest a group to fight BAM's? Fuck that shit, solo them all as Lancer.

Don't Blizzard and [Battle.net] have something like that?

You don't need to run with the Holy Trinity in TERA either. You're the one that insists that you need to. Like I said, finish reading the article. They did a run without a tank.

Now that you mention it, yeah, it does.

What class did you play as in OB?

Besides those that you listed there's also tactical shooters (tacticool doesn't count), survival horror, space sims, and even 2D platformers up until recently. Are these genres DEAD DEAD like Pac-man maze games? No. But having an entire genre be represented by a single developer, or even worse, a single series is not…

And he could just as easily written his rant without talking shit about different games and only focused on the games he liked and considered to be smart games. But instead he went "LOL SO IMMATURE."

You make a game with good gameplay first then you put in everything else. Putting content ahead of gameplay only leads to problems. Why do you games that are based on movies are often bad?

Genres are stagnating if not dying out wholesale. The genres that we have are stagnating and are getting "streamlined" instead of gaining more complexity. Sure games have never looked as pretty but those are only superficial improvements. Traditional genres are dying but they're not getting replaced. The fact that you…

1. Gameplay in games being important isn't subjective. It's the largest defining characteristic of the medium. If that isn't important, well, we might as well call everything a game then.
