"If Gears 3 is anything to go by, it's going to be pretty well-written as well."

"Really? Because the state of western with bald head space marines shooting russian terrorists in the middle east in a first person shooter is very well any better? East and West both have diamonds piled under pounds of shit. To say only one region is like that is ignorant."

Goddammit Polytron. You're making it REALLY HARD to keep loving your game.

When opinions become facts.

Why doesn't Squeenix want my money? *cries*

This is exactly the shit I was terrified of when the Kinect was first announced. Games with potential being rendered unplayable by unfathomable quantities of pure uncut jank.

The first time I went to Japan I played an entry in this series in the arcade and wondered why I never heard anybody talking about it over here. Good to see it getting a shout-out.

There's a new Amnesia coming out, subtitled "A Machine for Pigs." And if you haven't played Amnesia: The Dark Descent yet, you should give those guys your money /right now/.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor

I strongly disagree with your assertion the DS2 improved on DS1. I quite liked DS1. It was scary, the zero-g stuff was awesome in a logical way, the way the sound cut out in airless environments was great, and the story was a good horror story. They did a lot of clever things, and were smart enough to rarely throw…

Haha. Illuminated Metacritic reviews. I like it.

The proper response is "I hope you don't flunk out of the eighth grade."

Not just condensing, all editing done to a quote. All they did was capitalize for him. I would have left it as-is and tagged on a sic. More passive-aggressive that way.

Mentioning "RPG" at all is misleading based on this footage, but it does look neat. Also, all I could think when I was watching the video was "GodDAMN I want Monaco to come out already."

Well Blizzard's stated goal is for playing through dungeons or whole acts of the game somewhat organically to be the most efficient method of farming. I'm going to take them at their word here, based on specific mechanics in the game and announced changes in the upcoming patch. If you're just killing Izual once per…

I never said this would stop bots. As I said earlier, ignoring the downtime is not bypassing the downtime. It will still reduce the bot's yield on a per-hour basis. For one lazy gamer maybe it doesn't matter because they're still getting more loot than they would make on their own, but it does have effects on the…

They don't /really/ bypass it though. What it does is slow down their yield. If the bot has 20 min of downtime every hour, it's only raking in 2/3s as much loot.

How many games did you have to make how fast to get this to happen? I'm curious where the cap is set.

My only real gripe is this could make the Staff of Herding much more annoying to get if you're only slightly unlucky. Fortunately I already have mine.
