Something in me kind of just wishes that Sony had made it an add-on for the PS4. Like a $100 peripheral for the console or something. That way at least they'd not be sabotaging one of their (quite underrated and undersold) products. I mean, maybe I'm just getting to be that age where I worry about a company I grew up…

From how I remember most female characters in the MGS saga, the facade of sexuality (Sniper Wolf, Naomi, Meryl, Eva, etc.) usually acts as a way to repress or mask severe trauma or feelings of inadequacy—for what is more safe than playing into a presumed cultural role? In previous entries I don't recall a single…

I was using some old comic books for some strange graphic work a little while back and I came across this ad; the nostalgia nearly knocked me over.

Question: Can you play tragedy?

It's okay. I would have reacted the same way. I should have been more thorough in my initial comment to begin with, as the situation as it is is quite unacceptable. Regardless of the expectations that SE had for the relaunch of this title their response is deserving of such ire, and those who, even seemingly,…

I log off at the end of every session—my sessions being around 2-4 hour increments, about two to three times a day for the past week. I've been very courteous. And I suppose it is anecdote, but as it has been a recurring pattern for the past week perhaps it is moving beyond that. The longest I've spent trying to get…

I did read the article before I posted. Others, however, seem more prone to an even greater knee-jerk reaction than myself, hence my other comment. Words are a funny thing; how you start a discussion tends to set the tone for the rest of it regardless of what is actually being said.

And I understand that. I feel, though, that such a headline and article may persuade some to overlook this game because of some early logistical issues—which are to be expected, however still not excused, as SE has shown their lingering incompetence that they just can't seem to shake from this franchise. Although, I…

Yep. Game's already a disaster. I don't even know how or why I have a level 47 Summoner. . .

The second episode in each season was always sort of filler. The real meat is in the first and third episode of each season. Season 2 episode 1 is the highlight of the series for my wife and I.

I don't know about you all but I can't say that I'm really that interested in . . . for the Vita. I enjoyed the hell out of . on the PSP—and I was bummed when . . never came stateside—but this just seems like a cash grab; I mean, what's next, . . . . : , ! ?

As lovely as I find the color scheme and small affectations of texture around the image ,for mine, after opening the case, I just flipped around the insert so the case has those beautiful chiaroscuro, black and white portraits of Joel and Ellie on the verso and recto; no type, just the desolate elegance of their…

I've been getting in without too much hassle. And I have been enjoying the hell out of it. While the limited capacity of the server queues has been frustrating I should say it is worth the persistence and the wait.

Yes. Yes. Very well. Daredevil will be Batman in the next Superman movie. Why yes, yes, Master. I understand. Right away. All the babies.

Something about it makes me want to play a game as John Muir and just walk around the mountains, like Dear Esther meets Pokemon Snap.

Hmm, I wonder if it was just missing then from the PS3 version—which I played long before I had a gaming PC. I'll have to look into this and chastise myself accordingly.

This is very true, and an unfortunate aspect of these types of interactions, which means we either need, in this instance, Microsoft to address their lapse and restructure the department in charge of these affairs to be actually effective; or we need some sort of social institution (for the purpose of public shaming,…

The question in this instance, then, is: why is a threat of rape only reported to Microsoft and not local authorities? It's interesting how XBL communications are treated as proprietary (separate) affairs and Facebook engagements—as in the case of the LoL player—are public interactions. Is there fault or issue there?…

That was really the best part about playing GTAIV on PC. Not only was the default soundtrack stellar but the ability to import your own music was like reliving high school all over again. . .except, you know, with more vehicular manslaughter.

Potential sociological experiment: make the female avatars slighter in frame than the male avatars—smaller hit boxes, and thus an advantage in gameplay—and see if a demographic (albeit quite diverse in reality, though dominated by a certain portion of the population) will sacrifice their prejudices for the incentive…
