But that's how most projects found funding before crowd funding

I don't think that's true. I see FF Tactics on the top of the best-sellers list on PSN all the time. I think people are just skeptical about *this* project, for the reasons I listed above.

No, dying over and over does not equal length. It doesn't equal content, it's the same thing over and over.

THOSE BAKA GAIJINS DON"T GET IT KAWAI DESU (^_^) JAPAN CAN DO NO WRONG. THE NARRATIVE ISN'T DISJOINTED AND CONVOLUTED, ITS JUST 2DEEP4U. ALL OF THE STYLISH POSTURING IS PART OF THE STORYLINE.

Or maybe the west just stopped giving it a pass, unlike Japan just because its Final Fantasy.

Death threats for a game that's free?

I don't know why I bought Alan Wake. Everybody has it, but nobody ever plays it.

At some point my Steam collection will reach critical mass, where no matter how many games I play, the backlog will never decrease.

What happens if I like both?

The fact that it got big and got all that attention is sure as heck a good reason to pitch a fit about it, but I'm mostly saying all this because apparently people legitimately think this is a good game and don't see the way it damages the industry.

He didn't try to 'make it big easily.' He made some dumb games in his free time after word, and people DLed one of them a lot, big whoop. His worst crime is being a kind of lazy game designer. He's hardly 'detestable.' He wasn't taking advantage of anyone or hurting anyone. He's just an amateur who got lucky. What's

http://o.canada.com/technology/gam… It's not about whether it's legal or not; obviously it is. But this is the kind of basic, uncreative, shitty thievery that absolutely disgusts me as a designer. He didn't create anything, from visuals to design. He ripped the assets from Mario, half-assedly making his own versions

He stole zero assets. The game is derivative and lazy, but it's not stolen.

it's kind of a shame that we get potentially cool stuff like motion control, 3d, VR, whatever, and since they don't just become overnight successes, support for them gets dropped (or severely downplayed in the case of the Kinect). But such is the nature of business I s'pose

Nah. It's a difference between arguing for more options and arguing you have no empathy for anything that doesn't resemble you. If you play video games and are a person of color (or female), then odds are you've had to play a white male for a protagonist, and likely would have difficulty playing video games if you

S'more like, "stop just including yourselves in power fantasies" syndrome. Wake up.

If we're not talking about the game in question, where historical representation is at least an actual argument, do we really need to hear more arguments about how under represented white males are in video games?

The "Not Enough Black People" syndrome...Wow, just...wow.

The question is does it feel forced because things are now not as white?
