Actually - good news even on that front. You don’t have to be online to play it. Being online (obviously) is the only way you’ll possibly run into other players, and the only way your named discoveries will get uploaded to the shared database for everyone to see, but you can play offline, too. Since all the planets…

Damn, Skippy - that looks pretty damn ambitious! If they get it even half as good as it looks, the single-player looks like it’ll be a must-play for a lot of folks.

Oh yeah - I *love* my Vita for RPGs. Honestly, I play more RPGs on it than on my PS3, PS4 and PC put together right now.

Different strokes for different folks, really. I find most racing games horribly repetitive, but lots of people like them. Myself, I really enjoy games where I can just explore for short (or long) periods of time, and see what I can see. If I want excitement, I’ll play Witcher 3, but if I’m feeling a little more…

For me, I’ve been overall quite keen on the Sony offerings. I’ve been subscribed to PS+ for about a year, now, and while there’s not always something every month that I want, I’ve gotten to try so many great games I might not have bothered with otherwise. Now that I’ve tried some of them, I know to keep an eye on…

Just because another city is willing to hurt themselves and their populace for little to no return does *not* mean that our own cities should be doing that. If everyone takes that approach, nothing ever will change. If more and more cities start standing up and saying “No”, then things at least have a chance at…

Reading through the first swath of comments on this article, I can’t help but feel a bit disheartened. Commenters from both sides are getting more and more agitated, quickly, and rapidly missing the (seeming to me, at least) point of the article: two industry professionals with differing opinions on a messy topic were…

Meh - don’t feel sorry for me. I put a heck of a lot more time into playing my Vita than I do my 3DS. It’s a great little system.

The controversy is rough. I *do* feel bad for the small percentage of the overall people playing Witcher 3 on high-end gaming machines that aren’t getting everything they were hoping they would from the pre-release materials.

That being said, I have to agree with a lot of the stuff said in this article

The Witcher games…

**Sigh** My queue on both Crunchy and Funimation is getteing longer and longer, and I can’t keep up with them already — a result of enjoying too many genres within anime, it seems, coupled with too many other hobbies that are time-intensive. At this rate, at least I know I’ll have plenty to watch when I’m someday…

The cosplay is of an X-Men character named Quentin Quire - very punk attitude, and a lot of snarky shirts.

No, see - that's not what I want to hear the same week as Diablo 3's expansion and the Deception 4... I'm trying to cut back on the games I'm buying, and having three that I want in the same week doesn't help that. :P

I *never* would have expected that A)They'd have a life-sized mock-up of the 'labors, and B)That they'd be that accurate to the anime... I wasn't letting myself get my hopes up about this one, but all of a sudden I can't wait!

"So, you can probably understand why these movie posters, which are certainly not traditionally Japanese, seem somewhat vexing for many. It would be like seeing James Bowie wield magic instead of his iconic knife, or having the Alamo populated with giants."
.... or like having Abraham Lincoln fighting vampires with an…

I think the biggest problem here, honestly, comes down to a perception on the part of the publishers more than anything else. We've been seeing more and more examples of stories here (and on other sites, too) showing how out of touch the corporations that publish the AAA titles are becoming with their customers. …

""because it didn't offer any of the giant world we expected and the game play was very linear" Because it was made for consoles. You have to look at the cause, not symptoms"

To all the people claiming this as an "out of date" creator doing "damage control"... If you read the entirety of his statement, he was pretty clear in the original interview about what he meant. The limited space given over to the original interview/desire for sensational headlines/whatever, ensured that what he…

And who are you to determine what is, or is not, "geek culture"? Klingon-themed parties, fantasy parties, Zelda-based costumes (final photo in article), pokemon... all of these seem to fit into the over-arcing label of "geek culture" pretty well. Maybe you do have 'friends who are furries (who) do masturbate to the…

The author isn't A) "arguing", nor is he B) claiming he cannot tell the difference between master chief.... and a man shooting up kids. He's simply expressing that he's come to a point in his life where playing games that focus around the act of killing others isn't something that he wants to do. People's outlooks,…

Really? The fact that people feel the need to tear into Mr. Norman for his decision strikes me as a little... wrong. He's not blaming video games for the most recent tragedy (just like the person who called for the FPS free Friday isn't blaming video games for the tragedy), he is just making a lifestyle change in…
