Surely I'm not the only one who thought this map was kinda crap in the long haul. If you were a sniper, sure it could be mindless fun or good for heated duals, but for the rest of the team it often got old really quick. On the rare occasion it wasn't a sniper's haven, you could have some fun battles (like the…

But in the original Ruby and Sapphire, the bathing was mixed in that male trainers could take a dip with the grannies, and there were old dudes standing around. Looking at Japan's hot springs culture, we can understand that the bathing ladies are actually naked, even if we do not see them naked. While mixed bathing…

The PS4 lets you play streaming PS3 games (it costs money). The PS4 lets users play PS3 games through the recently-launched PlayStation Now service. You can stream any of a number of games if your Internet connection is fast enough to handle a two-way streaming signal (you're basically remotely playing on a PS3 that…

Something notable for PS4 in my opinion, it has bluetooth device support and the Xbox One does not. This was a really poor choice in corner-cutting for microsoft, and blocks you from simply using one switchable bluetooth keyboard for all your home theater devices. Also, obviously, this limits your headset options…

It looks like the laughing man symbol is being used to indicate/censor headshots and the like, and yes, that bugged me to. COD-meets-GITS is just not interesting, no matter how pretty it looks.

That's asking a lot of the consumer! It's asking for a commitment of up to $60, which for most folks isn't spare change. But it's also asking for trust. Publishers are saying "Give us your money now, and eventually, you'll get a game that was worth it".

I have no problem with having a similar formula to the games, I'd happily keep playing them if they continued to deliver interesting settings and intriguing stories. Unfortunately they are struggling with one or the other of those each game, and on occasions like this breaking some of the gameplay.

I was unimpressed by this show, but your post does remind me that I enjoyed the soundtrack :)

@9:05 - that, so much. that's actually where I stopped watching for a few episodes it was so nonsensical. So much so I came back a few weeks later and was like "wait, why is Slaine there, shouldn't they have... oh, yeah, because stupid".

That explains quite a bit I think. :\

Definitely not as good as Code Geass in my opinion - it has moments where it tries to be, but falls horribly flat. I suggest reading the AniTAY review linked at the bottom for an alternate opinion, which while I don't agree completely, I think is better because it acknowledged faults in the writing that the article…

I thought half the characters made incredibly stupid decisions. Also, I raged at one of the early episodes that took one key character and started out with them looking like a brilliant individual, then at the end of the episode devolved them into a complete moron - to the extent that the beginning would be…

Very, very few that present Japan in the detail and interest that assassin's creed would, especially to a western audience, where what little of Japanese history we know is a jumbled mess in our minds (OK, so AC fiction might not entirely help with that, but at least some more interesting details and years within the…

Hey man, thanks for the details, appreciate it.

New Atheon hard mode cheese — Keith

As frustrated as I am with how Bungie is treating the game right now, this is one area where I disagree with the critics. I've seen several of these areas first hand, and they are not finished content. They are just maps, and buggy maps at that, where you can see the skybox, lighting is incomplete, and there are…

Bungie may have patched out that one technique that let you push Atheon off the back of the stage, but intrepid Destiny players are still finding ways to cheese their way through the final boss of the Vault of Glass raid.

" And make it with full health just to punish people for trying to cheese."

As one Redditor put it: "I don't mind rising to a challenge that requires me to practice more, react quicker, and play smarter. But now the challenge is 'find better teammates.' That challenge sounds exhausting."

Based on Bungie's current behavior you won't get anything but doublespeak. The public voice of Bungie is DeeJ, and he doesn't appear to represent either Bungie or the players very well. The single biggest problem with the current Bungie is the wide, wide gap between the players and the company. I love Destiny but if…
