I'm with you... I wish they would just take the Final Fantasy approach and only loosely connect each installment with recurring themes/events/characters in different eras and settings. Kind of a "history repeats itself" sort of scenario. That would free them from the horrible stupid pace-killing future segments while…

They also just straight-up reuse it in various movies and TV shows. I've noticed it in both Walking Dead season 1 and Kick-Ass (although they changed the melody in Kick-Ass slightly, I guess there were copyright issues)

Read the Old Testament.

It could be legal reasons but it's also very possible that it's more profitable to have a homogeneous controller design. It makes porting easier, it makes crossover customers more likely, and developers instantly know how to work with it. It's the same reason that crazy reinvented keyboards and mice don't ever become…

You're not the only one. The artists are using a nice painterly rendering technique but that is the only nice thing I can say about it. The designs are painfully, hair-pullingly generic, the art direction is inconsistent, and the animation is utterly wretched.

For God's sake play Dragon's Crown instead. This looks like a Facebook game.

And then all the people who weren't interested in buying a PS4 to begin with can say "Well NOW I'm not getting one because I am morally upright, unlike you craven despots who hate freedom!" So everyone wins.

This game is for pitting my love of Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe against my hatred for David Cage. I've never felt so torn.

The men were definitely captured using flash photography but I'm still pretty sure they were composited into the scene... look at the foot of the man in the bottom right. One foot is in shadow, the other is in sunlight. The background plate was shot in the afternoon so the light hitting one foot and part of the pant…

You can try the demo and see for yourself. I was pretty disappointed... the game lets you play as Ellen Page... and by that it means you get to hold the thumbstick forward and she runs while things happen around her. And it lets you control a powerful astral being that can manipulate matter - when the game wants you…

Also at one point (in the comics) a character suffering a severe beatdown shouts "Barf!"

I switched to nvidia for one singular purpose: Skyrim.

But he was wearing a Crystal Castles shirt! He likes music! Therefore, hipster!

My wife gets to do whatever she wants with the entire house, except one room which I have claimed for myself. Guess where this is going?

No, the Half Life 3 team was fired after they botched the ghost development of Aliens: Colonial Marines.

I think what he is too modest to say himself is that Double Fine is itself a well-recognized brand that consumers are familiar with and they don't need to rely on familiarity with existing IPs... in other words people will buy a game because it is a Doublefine game, not because it's a sequel to Brutal Legend or Iron…

Seriously... and it really gets my goat when games disable the numpad. I have to go with the dreaded P L : " configuration when playing Skyrim because they didn't see why anyone could ever possibly want to bind something to the numpad...

I'm a mouse-lefty too. I've been using a Steelseries Sensei and it's been doing the job just fine... and it doesn't look like a piece of total nerd hardware like a lot of gaming mice do.

I did a mascot thingie once for a group that needed someone at the last minute. Having no experience in that field, let me assure you that the inside of those things is a terrifying, confusing and unfamiliar place, where every-day normal actions that you're used to doing all the time suddenly become bizarre and alien.…

Yeah I get the same thing about guitars. I learned to play guitar right handed because the scarcity of southpaw gaming mice is nothing compared to how hard it is to find a good left-handed guitar.
