Patches and updates do happen in other sports. They are just called "rule changes", "equipment changes", and "upgraded technology" .

if you read the article, it says guest speakers will cover topics like gaming history, game graphics, online gaming, and marketing. Otherwise the class is basically a gaming industry class.

That and without a note from the devs saying, "We quit"/"We won't be finishing this game" there isn't a clean cut way to tell when a game has been abandoned. Should Valve really cut sales on a game that has been silent for month? Even two? What if the dev had some sort of personal emergency and he couldn't make an…

It was definitely advertised as unfinished, but I still like it. Sure, it can get slow, but it's really fun with a group of three or four friends, leveling up together, catching dinosaurs to ride, and either killing new players that venture on the server, taking them prisoner, or taking them into the fold, playing…

Nintendo just needs to add an item customization option like they have in Smash. That way, people who want the "vanilla" experience can turn items off, people who want only the non-game-breaking items can have them, and people who want the wonky, if not unfair, skew of equalizers can still yell at their friends for…

That's very true. A large part of that is how the Wii U was released and marketed. When it originally came out, not many people knew if it was just an add-on for the wildly successful Wii, a new console, or something different. When people learned it would be a new and expensive box that would do almost the exact…

To me, Nintendo games are just that. They are often much-loved, if not overused, IPs that don't offer a whole lot new besides a new location (maybe), possibly a new character or two, but the same basic concept and the same style of gameplay. It's one of those things that either you love it or you hate it. I do have to…

Well, it is a lower priced console, which many people consider an "other" console. Basically, most people buy the Wii U because it plays games no other system can play. Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Pikmin, Donkey Kong, Mario Everything, Monster Hunter, Metroid, and Bayonetta are all franchises that are (mostly)…

one reason for early access is to help fund a developer through the development process. If a single person or team of three guys work on a game for 2 years, they need money during that time. Early access allows devs to support a family while developing a game full time.

Backlog time. Well, the ever expanding backlog that just grew way too much over the summer sale. So I'm trying to whittle down the new-to-me games like Papers, Please and Wolfenstein: The New Order.

I apologize, I misunderstood you. Thank you for clearing that up.

Not much, if you ask me. Thats EA for you though.

I think the moral compass you hold could use a bit of tweaking. Man on woman love has, for the most part, been recently acceptable, but man on woman violence is commonly not accepted. I honestly don't think man on man love should be accepted simply because there is a sport that creates violence against others of…

The thing is, The made those UFC games. EA made this one, and if you remember EA Sports MMA, they had about the same issues. The controls were clunky, balance issues based on skill points, and odd looking movements. I just hope they can iron it out for the next one.

Well that's most factory workers' jobs. Granted, that's for money, but it's not like he made a ton of money off of this, unless he had a bet with a friend, but he got some enjoyment out of it anyways.

There will be limits to the number of games rented at a time though. That is most likely how they can divide up sub models, well that and games available. I'm honestly hoping they have a couple different tiers such as: PSOne Classics, PS2 Classics, Popular PS3, Best of the Past (PSOne, PS2, PS3), New Games, Indie…

Only to a point. Sony could have stated price ranges to devs/pubs for certain rental periods. It sounds like they set the price range of $2.99-$19.99 rather than devs/pubs.

You must have terrible, terrible internet. I was streaming Stranger's Wrath on right around 6 mbps because my ISP was half-throttling me or something. (I pay for 30 mbps.) The stream was great and the only issue I had was if there was a little missed connection, the edges would kinda blur.

I believe they are attempting to wait for A) Song's 4k stuff to really take off and B) Sony to get their new 4k player rolling for a couple months so the price can drop and be competitive with the PS4.

They don't need to. That, and the ports would be way too big to sit on a phone. Sure, a lot of people would be interested, but only until they learned they'd fill up most of their phone's memory with one game. I mean, the old school games could be ported for less memory cost, but Nintendo isn't big on putting their…
