If this is what can be done on the 360, I can't even begin to imagine what will happen when the PC gamers get their hands on it.

Yes. And the reason they can do that is because those games don't have multiplayer. With multiplayer, you can't allow for mods. The problem is that nearly every major game these days has a multiplayer portion, even when for some games it's completely unnecessary.

Skyrim isn't meant to be a "cinematic experience" like The Order. Most of the play time in Skyrim is generated by the player, not the developer. Linear games translate better to the movie analogy. Sandbox games are an entirely different beast, where pricing has more to do with game quality than length.

If, if the game is five hours or so, then it's overpriced at $60, no matter how amazing it might be. Five hours is two modern full-length movies. Would you spend $60 on two movies? I wouldn't, even if they were the greatest movies ever made. I think that's why people are so up-in-arms.

Saints Row IV: Walking the Dinosaur - 0.99% of players have this.

I looked this post up again after watching a speedrun of Metroid Fusion. Man, Other M really screwed things up, didn't it? Could be why there's been no plans for a Wii U Metroid game.

Finally, some acknowledgement for an amazing game. I mean, a roguelike zombie survival horror game that actually makes good use of the Gamepad. It brought back the vibe I got from the old Resident Evil games, before they moved to ridiculous action games.

It's a PC port of an Ubisoft game. I'll remain skeptical of its technical quality until proven otherwise.

"Unlike other pairs of complementary colors", TV Tropes' entry on the trend says, "fiery orange and cool blue are strongly associated with opposing concepts — fire and ice, earth and sky, land and sea, day and night, invested humanism vs. elegant indifference, good old fashioned explosions vs. futuristic science…

If I saw this in a store, I would buy it without hesitation.

Whenever I hear someone mention the ZX Spectrum, I'm reminded of Tim Follin, who composed music for some of the games. I'm still blown away by the sounds he could pull out of a 1-channel motherboard beeper.

It's not that far-fetched.

Now if only we could get Streets of SimCity and SimCopter to go along with it.

That's kind of how Final Wars felt to me.

Im not seeing a penalty.

Well, the Dragon Age universe tends to suck for everyone. I would think that a Hogwarts-style solution would be a good compromise. Young mages go to boarding school (Hogwarts was effectively a prison that allowed summer breaks: students couldn't really leave, they went there to learn how not to be a danger to others,…

That's the narrative they're trying to push: that the mages get desperate and are forced to turn to banned magic. But that ignored the issue of Tevinter, where the mages are free and basically run the show, and everything is even worse off than than elsewhere because of it.

Looks like 10 day old Domo-kun roadkill.

FF games have always had extravagant cutscenes that are far beyond what a normal engine could do.
