I disagree. Notch provides full changelogs because they are the standard in PC gaming, not because he is/isn't making money.

I'm a Morrowind fan that dislikes Oblivion, but I'm cautiously optimistic for Skyrim. I seriously doubt that any form of complexity is coming back to the series, but as long as they fix Oblivion's shoddy level scaling and combat system, they're off to a good start in making Skyrim fun enough.

They haven't really explained WHAT the early access entails. If it's like other MMOs, getting 3-5 days of early play time is not something that I can see turning a huge profit to resellers, especially when it's not much use to people who don't have a cd key. Basically, if someone is keen to be playing that early, 99%…

You're 100% correct, but I can certainly also see why people are confused about it. Preorder deposits just simply don't exist anywhere else in the digital sector. They're for physical retailers to discourage people from preordering games they don't really want. It's a wholly unnecessary process for a digital store,…

Mmmm.... Abuse.

Why isn't it a good representation? All the parts were there, sans helmet (for a good bit of the video) and the padded gambeson that was normally worn underneath. Think of it this way - many people in modern militaries carry a plate armor's amount of weight and more in their rucksacks, and they're not stiff and…

He's just keeping up with the times, man. That's reactive armor, like on tanks and stuff.

No, that's bullshit. Full plate is heavy yes, but the weight is evenly distributed around your entire body. You can move perfectly fine in it, as you can see in the attached video. Would you rather be the guy with a few weak points, or the guy who is one giant weak point?

My first thought was a five player Robot Alchemic Drive. Then I watched the video... Le sigh.

Honestly, other than the fighting giant bugs thing, this doesn't look very closely related to EDF at all. The low enemy density and the focus on large bug bosses makes me think more of like a Monster Hunter / Armored Core hybrid.

To be fair, exploiting silly representations of Ninjas is not exactly a new thing. Go IMDB Godfrey Ho.

Actually, the two games have the same writer, I believe :)

After playing a game like Planescape: Torment, I'm going to have to disagree with his assessment that games and good writers don't mix. Sure, it takes a certain type of game to take advantage of good writing, but it's nowhere near impossible.

You guys really like featuring troll posts on these speak up spotlights, huh?

He reminds me a lot of the guys behind all those companies that disappeared in the 2001 dot com bubble.

If you are a console gamer wanting an MMO that is action-y and controls perfectly fine with a controller, my recommendation is Vindictus. It's not really an MMO in the strictest definition (as party sizes don't get higher than 8ish for raids and everything is instanced) but a good hybrid. Just make sure to uninstall…

This picture shows exactly why I hate virtual joystick phone gaming. You can't see a damn thing, even when it's just your thumbs.

I disagree. If my time in the army has taught me anything, its that there are plenty of people out there that shower regularly / use deodorant liberally yet still reek by the end of the day. In a confined space like a con, you will only need one of such people to ruin everyone's day.

Nox was so underrated. It's probably my favorite of the non-Diablo isometric ARPGs. Not only was it a hell of a lot of fun, but unlike every other game in the genre, it doesn't try to ape Diablo too much.

Renegade's multiplayer was so much fun.
