I played plenty, but not Western AAA one with a story that impressed me. You can list some names if you want.

Just another game to add to the "bad story, lower expectations" list.

I'm a game dev in training, so if it doesn't start otherwise, it'll have to start with me, I suppose.

I don't tell this to everybody...(but I actually go there quite often)

What I'm waiting for is the indie JRPG revival, fueled by people who grew up with Final Fantasy VII and other PS1 JRPGs growing up and wanting to revisit the genre.

That's the beauty of it!

Not sure how I feel about the live action (they should have done rotoscoped vectors), but the music and visual design was spot on. Bravo, not often there's a shoutout to this hidden classic.

I can't wait for it, but at the same time I think it's gonna pop as part of the aftershock of the mobile pop...THAT will be a bit scary.

Saying games are for kids is the same mentality that doomed the comics industry. You're part of the problem.

You're not alone. We're not represented by the media, who's too cozy with the "future of mobile". We're a voiceless group which I estimate is a lot bigger than people think, and underestimating us is a big mistake from a business point of view.

The problem is that they're not paying attention to demographics, which is more important in the long term than any bottom line could ever be.

"Entertainment as a Service" are the words of my nightmares. When the day comes that games are completely subscription-based and the consumer has no ownership, it'll be a dark day indeed (and probably the day where I get out of it altogether).

The most criminal thing about Wreck-It Ralph is that the arcade it so glorifies no longer exists throughout 90% of America.

...and why, pray tell, did you buy a iPod Touch for gaming, when you could have gotten a 3DS for far below that price and enjoyed games other than flash clones?

It's a shame F-Zero GX, in all its perfection, sold like shit. That essentially made Nintendo swear to never make another console F-Zero again.

Correlary to to 8: Thou Shalt Let Us Skip Thine Opening Montage If Thou Includes It. If Thou Make It Speedy Enough to Skip, Thine Video Is Okay.

Which is precisely what they OUGHT to look like, if they were from an arcade game - arcade games from the 80's had slightly larger color palettes and resolutions than the home consoles of the day.

Actually, in a sense, they are, because so many modern games are trying to cash in on the edgy preteen modern war shooter craze, and I've just about had it.

It's not CoD proper that I hate, what I hate is how much it's influenced all of gaming.
