i really wish more games embraced killable NPCs the way Deus Ex did. it was often a very nebulous act given the setting and characters. sometimes the person helping you now may double cross you later. maybe the guy you think is sketchy really just wanted to help and killing him meant you had to handle it alone. or…

dont you know that was extremely offensive. it's not like it was one of the most influential games of time. it's received great praise in a time when game's rarely were great enough to make a fuss about. it's not the people who played the game were smart enough to make choices of such issues for themselves. dont you…

well at least we now it cant be too major if they made the delay this close to release. that also means another delay is very unlikely. so the Duke Nukem Forever comparisons people are making really dont many any sense. we may not know what the problem is but we still have enough to figure a few things out, like gotta…

i think videogames shouldnt pigeonhole game length. some games should be short. some should be long. it really depends on the experience in question. we should have games that are just long enough to not overstay their welcome, but not so short they leave us feeling shortchanged.

i would imagine they would price the items differently based on the appropriate dungeons difficulty. this was fairly common back on the NES. there are still quite a few games that dangle expensive items at you early on to encourage you to play further. it's not entirely bad. i do agree it's lazy and it's a lot more…

well i agree with you to a degree. i think the problem is the average gamer isnt fully aware of what they want. this doesnt mean that what they want is invalid. they just need to figure out what it is before they start making demands.

and some of those kids grow up into adults who make a living off of their penis drawings. the link is NSFW (or else i would have just used the image). HR Giger sure likes using penises in his art though. this one is called Penis Landscape. personally i would have called it Shaftland.

to be fair, the game was slated for a december release. you usually dont wait this close to release to delay a game if its something much bigger than bugs. it's a reasonable assumption.

why would that give you faith? if anything it would make me more concerned. Trey and Matt do not have experience in game development. a lot of things that work in other media dont work in games and vise versa. many directors, writers, etc, who have experimented in game development often fail because they discover many…

i agree there is a lot of reason to doubt this game will be amazing but it's fairly normal for a game to get delayed a couple times before release. i would have said name me the last time when a game was based on a movie or a tv show and still ended up being frickin amazing. it hasnt happened in many many years. sure…

it doesnt sound like Linkin Park. it sounds more like After Midnight Project and Breaking Benjamin mixed together. it does have that overpolished sound that most music has now, which might be what you mean.

they should let you use an external hard drive for at least backup purposes. i suspect there might be speed issues for games if they used external HDDs but why cant you use one outside of games?

yeah those things have me a bit bothered. it's not exactly a dealbreaker but come on! it's 2013. these things should be standard. i get that they want to promote their own music service but i think this is the wrong way to go about it. they should make the PS4 the media center for the living room (like what they had…

correct me if i am wrong, but didnt the PS2 outsell the PS3 at release? didnt Sony keep the PS2 going to profit it off of it till the PS3 found its grove? is it actually wise to kill the Wii so soon while it is still making them more profit? killing off one doesnt mean people will buy the other. despite popular…

the Shadow Time feature is very interesting to me. there has been quite a few games where i had done something amazing but looked to realize i didnt have my recorder on.

someone's never heard of this little thing called Facebook. real names stop nothing. some people are just dicks.

i have no idea where you heard that. it might be true but it seems unlikely given New Super Mario Bros Wii U is 720p that is upscaled to that resolution.

EULAs dont hold in courts most the time. and dont put rights in quotes. they are legal rights. you may disagree with them but that doesnt make them any less legal rights.

the game industry may not like used game sales but they are a right allotted by many nations (and i am assuming the one you live in). it's not an issue of consumer entitlement. the law has ruled the consumer is entitled to used games. it's companies who feel they are entitled to a cut of that money.

i thought it was the portal from Sliders heh.
