Well, people are just as varied about what they don't want too. We don't really know how they're going to use this information yet, so it's hard to pass judgment on it.

That's true. I don't usually have a problem waiting the two days it takes with Amazon prime. My real issue with gamestop is I hate the stickers they plaster over everything. It makes the box look ugly, which annoys me. Half of the reason I buy most of my games from Amazon is they come with just plastic wrap usually,…
Maybe...
I feel like this article is seriously lacking in Smash Brothers. In college me and my roommate used to just get drunk and play a level where everyone is boxed in and bounce each other off the walls until you got to 999%. Good times...
I don't disagree with what you're saying there, but I don't think the article does either. The problem, which I agree with, is that that "sometimes" for games is most of the time.
Why the hostility? I'm glad you make money in Second Life, why should that discourage someone who likes Diablo from playing that, and maybe making a bit of money on the side occasionally?
Hahaha, good point.
Yeah, but for someone who knows almost nothing about Diablo how much gameplay info can you get from a thirty second trailer? Not enough to make an informed buying decision, that's for sure. Might as well just have something pretty to get people interested, then they can figure out what the gameplay is like by reading…
Eh, I mean trailers will never really represent gameplay very well anyway—that's not their purpose. Trailers are just about building up hype and getting the word out, I don't think you could convey what the gameplay is in a 30-second spot.
That's pretty much why I haven't played Skyrim yet...I had trouble getting into Oblivion because it was so lacking in personality, and Oblivion doesn't seem any better in that department...
This is a slight degree of hyperbole on my part, but I would hasten to point out that actors in a play can have the illusion broken. An AI can literally believe that it is who it is and have no existence outside of the world it is in.
I disagree that immersion is unique to video games. You think that because you're comparing it to film and literature, but theatre can be just as immersive in its own way. Immersion isn't necessarily interactive immersion, you can be completely immersed in something but be completely passive. Theatre is immersive in a…
That's pretty much exactly what it is. But it's fun!
This is certainly true, but there are limits and there is no guarantee that this falls into the parody classification they set up here. Just because you can feasibly call something a parody doesn't necessarily mean the courts will decide it fits the legal definition of what a parody is. Personally I'd like to hope…
It's strange, because what you described is pretty much exactly why I didn't enjoy (the story aspects of) Mass Effect 2. Everything just felt so thoroughly disconnected to me; there just wasn't enough of a common thread to hold it all together. I actually might have enjoyed it more if it was presented as an episodic…
That is pretty lame though—I was assuming they would have prescription versions or something (I don't know if that is possible). I can deal with 3D glasses because you really only wear them for short amounts of time, but for an every-day deal I don't want to wear two pairs of glasses. That's obnoxious and it'll get…
EA beat Comcast? That seems a bit much to me...I mean EA has done some bad things, but I don't feel like it rivals AT&T, Walmart, or Bank of America really.
I just kind of lost interest after the second one...it seemed like it veered too far into militaristic third-person shooter for my taste. The demo for the third one seemed like it was more of the second game, so I was kind of meh about it. I probably would have played it eventually but now I feel like this whole issue…
I hate how the ending to this game has become such a big deal. While no one story has really spoiled me, I can pretty much figure out how the game ends just by reading enough headlines about it. Or at least the gist of it...
