I’m kind of bothered by some of the recent Lego games. When the franchise first kicked off, we were getting an entire trilogy of movies converted into games. We got the prequel trilogy and original trilogy of Star Wars, then the Indiana Jones trilogy. We got Harry Potter years 1-4 and years 5-7. We got all 4 Pirates…

Has anyone made a reaction video for this?

This seems to be a cultural thing. If it were an American kid who dumped water on his 3DS, he’d have demanded his parents buy him a new one, probably with a few expletives thrown in for good measure.

I’m sure Rooster Teeth is enjoying this, seeing how much they hate Sony and how they declared that this was some sort of attack targeted at them.

That’s pretty much been the case with every Lego game based on a movie since Lego Lord of the Rings. They use audio straight from the movie with background noise and all. It’s especially jarring when they add their own characters or add new dialogue to existing characters that require new voice actors, where two…

Lego Pirates of the Caribbean killed that dream. It came out right before the most recent Pirates movie and without voices, it was near impossible to follow the plot for the 4th movie. Everything since then has used voice acting.

To be fair, that’s how the 360 held onto the market share for most of its life cycle. It came out a year earlier with a lower price point, so any late adopters had the choice of getting the console all their friends had or getting the PS3.

To be fair, the timed exclusive has been around for several console generations. It doesn’t make it a good practice, but it’s hardly a new one.

I like these lists they post for each platform, but I wish they’d include a comment for the items on the lists that are multiplatform, or a tally at the top telling how many items on the list are exclusive to that platform.

Why take down the less popular levels?

Little Big Planet never had any problems preserving the less than stellar levels people uploaded through its various incarnations.

He probably got burned out on the seeming lack of anything to do at Valve. I’m sure there’s at least a small cluster of people there somewhere working on Half Life 3 (or at least Half Life 2: episode 3), but it seems Valve has their sights set elsewhere and if this guy were working on the project, it would be…

I’m no economist (or sports fan, really), but it seems that if St Louis is such a poor economy for a sports franchise, couldn’t the Rams and the NFL (what with their record breaking profits) invest a bit into St Louis to bring it up to their lofty standards? Seems like supporting your fans would create a loyal fanbase…

Because now they’re trying to justify launching it on just one platform (with that platform having the smaller market share).

Plus, marketing. They’re not going to announce “now the critically acclaimed, but commercially disappointing new chapter in the Tomb Raider saga is coming to more platforms”.

Not that 1m should…

Tearaway Unfolded was released with absolutely no fanfare.
Sony didn’t even advertise it.

No way does this project see completion. Nintendo deploys the lawyers whenever people have fun playing their own games. I don’t see them allowing someone to create an homage/knock-off/whatever, especially if it takes away any attention from Mario Maker.

Better to delay it until its ready than to release it early and spend the following months battling refund requests, Disaster Watch articles, and all of the fan backlash for releasing a half-finished mess that takes the better part of a year to patch into something resembling a decent game.

Miss Philippians?

The headline is a bit misleading.

“Here’s How Miles Morales Comes to the New Marvel Universe! We don’t see what happens, but he wakes up in the new universe. We don’t know how he fits into the new universe yet, but he’s here.”

I’m partial to the Tearaway Unfolded soundtrack, which was incorporated really well into the game. For instance, during the pig riding part of the game, you’ll pass an NPC who starts whistling along to the background music. Later, in the barn, you throw a squirrel into your controller to help you travel through the…

Ethical? Maybe. Legal? Probably not. Given that all content creators seem to consider the purchase of their games licenses to use the product as opposed to straight ownership, they’d probably fight you on that logic.

From less of a grey area, it’s still questionable. Buying a game on Steam has the money funneled to…
