What is false about it? Did they claim it was a remake of the original? Did they say it was an HD version of 2.0? No. They said it was based on CONTENT (read: tracks, cars, etc) of 2.0.

Yeah I had Castle Story on my wishlist for a few months because the ideas behind it were interesting... then the updates kind of stopped. I ended up pirating a copy just to see how far along it was and... wow. I got it to run, but most of the in-game functionality wasn't there, and what WAS there was a broken pile. I…

That's like flipping over and reading the back of the box of a movie/game to research it. It was written by the publishers as a sales pitch.

No kidding. But somehow this gets turned into Fanboy Time.

Ah, so those of us who like to play games with friends are "kids with lots of free time." Got it. I forgot that grouping up with someone required a 3-hour commitment signed in blood.

Just return to Orbit. You sit at a screen looking at your ship and can select places to go from there. Obviously not an option mid-mission, but it works if you're not in the middle of anything.

In the overland areas, it's a public lobby of sorts. Once you enter a "dungeon" (marked by a three-person-silhouette placard on the wall) it's instanced for your Fireteam (or yourself if you're solo.)

I had someone trying to move me around, followed by teabagging me while I was sitting and checking something on my phone. I didn't move at all for all his attempts otherwise.

Actually, we use it as a chance to see a movie with our kids without having audience members act like we're the antichrist because our kids ask us a question once every 20-30 minutes. I'm self-conscious enough in public places without also feeling like I have to keep a 5 and 6 year old whisper-quiet for 2 hours during…

Yeah, and it's killed many local theatres throughout Canada. The studios don't offer any assistance to upgrade their facilities for digital projection, nor any means to get a non-digital copy. I used to walk to my local theatre and pay $7 to see a movie with affordable snacks and non-digital film. Now I have to drive…

In Canada, everyone has monthly bandwidth limits unless you pay out the nose for unlimited or luck out with a provider that offers limited throttling during peak hours in exchange for unlimited.

This service is useless to the average Canadian, unless they really shopped around for their internet. Most of our ISPs have fierce monthly bandwidth caps ($45/month for 5 megabit service with a 20 GB cap.) Sure you can add unlimited or more bandwidth or speed, but the bills rapidly climb to the triple digits.

Actually, "Soon (TM)" was jokingly said in Everquest before WoW came out. It kinda migrated, along with most of the players.

Getting PS1/2/3 games actually running live on a PS4 is vastly more taxing than streaming in video/audio and streaming controller out. Even having all the source codes on-hand doesn't make emulation easy. Optimizations for the Cell processor in the PS3 that made the game run smooth suddenly become performance…

I don't have a PS4, but have a PS3 currently. I could see *maybe* paying this if I hadn't owned a PS3 before and I had a chance to play some of the exclusives I'd missed that generation. Burn through The Last of Us in a couple nights or take turns playing Uncharted games as I finish them.

I'm not sure if Kinja supports it, but you could always lock all comment threads that are more than 30 days old when an article is reposted. Or if there's a way to orphan comments to an archive-like section below "fresh" comments. Database-wise it's not *too* crazy, but it may mean adding a column or three depending…

I find a lot of people that I talk to about making games have ideas for games. Unfortunately, they don't understand the complexity of programming that goes into many of the elements they decide to cram into one gigantic genre-mash bundle.

I always feel a little more startled when on fire in most games when compared to bullet fire or other forms of damage. It's not a phobia or anything, it's weird.

I have yet to get the X-Men Origins Wolverine game running on my PC :( I've read a dozen "fixed" cases and none of those solutions help. Normally I can get just about anything working, so it's disappointing.

Or, Dead Rising in a nutshell.
