They probably think of themselves as arbiters of good taste, or at least arbiters of what there is an audience for. Although they have likely shut down many good ideas, I'm sure there is plenty of genuine crap they have shut down as well

If the story is accurate, they're making a spin off game that is online, not Elder Scrolls 6. I don't like splicing in multiplayer everywhere either but they didn't do that with Skyrim so I'm not going to complain about this one.

That game should be played with a nice set of surround sound speakers and a big TV anyway

You grew up with American sticks. Japanese sticks have always been that way and now with the resurgence of fighting games, Americans are now getting Japanese style arcade sticks which are by general consensus among people who have spent time with them, much better. The reason for a square gate was explained to me…

They're supposed to be that way.

Mystic Quest is the best

What's her name, she's purdy

No a Blu-ray can hold that much or more depending on how many layers it has.

Shouldn't it be spelled Warfyce?

Then you mean it was never not an option

Is that a cosplayer?

That was a port of Chaos Theory right? If so that would be Unreal Engine 2, not 3. 3DS is probably not powerful enough for UE3

Japan makes a lot of generic crap but so does the west. There are some great designers from Japan like Kojima, Miyamoto, Ueda (or however you spell the ICO guy's name), Clover/Platinum games crew, Ninja Gaiden guy whose name I won't try to spell, Dead Rising guy whose name I don't know but at least made something…

Any issues with the PC version and this? Specifically for people who have the first two games on steam and are now forced to play the third elsewhere?

At first I wasn't sure the setting was what I wanted. I too had thoughts like, China, Japan or Russia would be cool because I like all the architecture there. But now I think they are giving me what I really wanted which is something new from the franchise. Between the very different setting and having a new engine…

I said I recognize that it's not intentional. I wasn't trying to justify it as a feature, I was giving a reason why it didn't bother me. My proper justification is that it's very minimal and for me was no worse a visual blemish than most games have.

Only thing I saw was some minor screen tearing, and only minor. Although this probably wasn't the intent, I thought it kind of fit the theme of glitches in the Animus.

And every game has worked on my XBox

You're not the only one, I just bought it this past weekend.

If you count Halo anniversary edition, then yes. Which I wouldn't really. Well it's valid to say MS is milking Halo but so far the main games I would not consider products of milking.
