Not to destroy your optimism about Xbox’s new dashboard, but right now it is a cold and tantalizing mess. I love my Xbox, but the original dashboard was just... just terrible, so I signed up onto the Preview program to see what new interface they were going to come up with.

It is SO MUCH WORSE than the already bad…

Didn’t see that one before, but it was beautifully drawn and paneled. Thanks for sharing it!

Appreciate the article correcting Mr. Butt but...

1) Obi-Wan is not an idiot. He’s manipulative, sure. All the great old advisers have been. Dumbledore, Gandalf, even Merlin. Why should Obi-Wan be any different?

2) Vader is not weak, even in Jedi. Subservient, sure. He’s got a master who is uber-powerful in the Force.…

I disagree with you, mostly because I feel that most people are hypocrites like you claim. I want my old Superman back. I get that you want something new and that you’re enjoying this run (at least, that is what I’m taking away from your comment), but I very much preferred the previous iteration that we had.…

Superman’s uncompromising nature is one of the things I love about him as a character. He feels that, morally, he is the most justified and sensible person on the planet. He doesn’t compromise, he doesn’t cut corners, he’s the all-around good boy. Some people don’t like that about the character, but I find that unique…

C’mon... most of these are incredibly stupid. Game developers are lazy? Or that Players always know what is best for a game? Some of these are phrased so specifically that of course they’re not true. Are some game developers lazy? I’m sure they are, and I’m sure they fail. Players will often have great ideas about a…

1) The OT used CG to enhance practical effects, not replace a story. Don’t be purposefully ignorant.

2) Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill provided fine acting performances. Not academy award winning, but to compare them to the empty dead-eyes blandness of the prequels is either you showing ignorance of acting performances…

You stated that the only reason people judge the original trilogy as superior was due to nostalgia. You posited something without any verifiable evidence that was clearly biased and in error. Wrong fact, wrong opinion.

Opinions can absolutely be wrong because they have to be based off of facts and taste. Your facts are incorrect, so your opinion is incorrect.

It’s an ill-advised opinion. Blaming the love of a classic movie on “nostalgia” is incorrect because those movies actually hold up under a magnifying glass looking for errors. The problems with the prequels are all completely separate (blue screen, CG, lack of story, bland acting) than anything shown in the originals.

Except that’s completely wrong. We know from Obi-Wan that Luke’s father was a Jedi and a good friend who lost his way to evil. So having a glimmer of good is a rational narrative choice. And the guy only changed sides to save his son, not because he wanted to save a planet of innocents or some such. The prequels…

Wow. Never before have I seen such a huge misread of the events of ROTJ and Empire.

For Empire, the one huge thing you just glossed over was that Vader was spouting a recruitment pitch. He stopped being the huge and indomitable monster who killed Luke’s father and became a gut punch of an entirely different type of…

Biggest Misconception about Game Developers: That they have any idea what people think regarding game developers.

Nobody that I know has ever insinuated anything on that list. Who are they talking to to get these misconceptions on the general public’s misconceptions???

See, the problem is that they’re claiming that the conservative groups are racist or actively attempting to harm particular groups. That is an all-around lie... some might even describe it as “fear-mongering and anti-conservative rhetoric”. Conservatives aren’t right 100% of the time, but their goals seem to be…

Not to be “that guy”, but why was Shadow of Mordor removed? I think a lot of those games deserve to be up there... but there are few that were better than Shadow of Mordor. Yeah, Yeah... “They have Batman up there and it’s almost the same thing!”. No! It is not almost the same thing! I’ve played Shadow of Mordor for…

How could it be that tight though? This is Disney’s “coming out” party, for lack of a better phrase. Disney licensed it to EA to make Star Wars games, but I’m sure they’re pressuring EA to make good ones and EA didn’t pay all that money for a game to make a cruddy one, right? Battlefront II sold north of 2 million…

The problem just isn’t “total number” of maps. We will have four planets (Hoth, Endor, Tatooine, and Sullust) with various maps, so there won’t be much in the way of scenic variety. When you compare that to the original battlefront games that had Mustafar, Cloud City, the Death Star, Geonosis, Naboo, Coruscant, Yavin…

See, that’s what I was thinking when I went ahead and pre-ordered Mass Effect. Big dialogue tree filled with endless choices, ground combat, and a spaceship of your own to travel the universe in... or so I thought.

They forgot to mention that you basically just travel the galaxy via load screens. There is no space…

Just thinking about that, I would be unsure how you could do a Star Trek: Battlefield game. We’ve had Star Trek games in the past attempt to hit a few notes that would be in there (FPS and Fighter Sim) but they have to add elements that are very much “un-Star Trek” for balance. Personal Shield units, Shuttle craft…

I agree with you that it does (I never play GTAV in first person for this same reason) but everybody has access to it so if you choose to handcuff yourself because you prefer the view you can’t really cry foul. It would be interesting to have a game setup like they do in GTAV where you can set the actual perspective…
