Yeah, that's the way I feel about games like this. Using a guide isn't like finding the answer, it is like learning all the rules.

Yep, click on the words "super effective" in the story.

Ah, okay, I see what you mean then.

I think he means it is objectionable that it is opt-out as opposed to opt-in.

I love Amazon Prime/Student Prime. That combined with the fact that I have an amazon rewards card is ridiculously dangerous for impulse buying.

Yeah, I do love that. Sometimes it is even $20. I got both Portal 2 and Catherine on launch day for $40 each, after subtracting out the $20 amazon gift cards.

Amazon. They've been great for me, the worst that'll ever happen is not getting release day delivery. But that was only once. I've heard they aslo are good with after the fact price-matching if they lower their price on a game right after you buy it.

I'm not saying you shouldn't call the people who are like that out. But you shouldn't link the calling them out with the games they like. Just call them hypocrites or shallow or whatever they are. I mean, hateful boils on society are hateful boils no matter what games they like.

It was bad enough getting one of them!

First, I don't have anything against simple/casual/party games. Go for it, Zynga.

Additionally, I think it is hard to talk about how D&D has influenced certain games because to some degree or another concepts from D&D have become pervasive throughout the games industry. I don't think it is much of a stretch to say without D&D we might never have had video games that tell stories. Any game, of any…

My point in discussing the Shepard thing was just to show that a job is an important character trait, not a superficial one. I don't think Mass Effect is a bad game because of it, and I think Mass Effect is definitely an RPG (although I do think Mass Effect 2 waters down it's RPG-ness, and not just because they took…

Photorealism doesn't mean "looks exactly like real life." It means not stylized, but actually mimicking real life. We aren't anywhere near perfect realism. But we have games that are sufficiently photorealistic that the marginal improvements we can make aren't worth spending too much money to get there.

I don't really think that's what he meant, I think he meant the actual homosexual characters.

"On the next generation of consoles: "I don't believe that there will be another major console. I think that the differentiation between what it would cost do do a PS4… or Nintendo… well, Nintendo is pretty crappy. But [these consoles] are so close to photorealism that it just doesn't matter. The competition between…

I would agree with that definition if it includes being able to "fill" the character through typical RPG mechanics like choosing your class, what statistics you excel in, and what skills you have.

I thought C stood for computer too, although I kind of like "character." I thought it was from when western RPGs were mostly on PCs, and JRPGs were mostly on consoles.
