It’s more story than game design, but I think the lack of voice and facial animation in the characters made those games better. It forced the designers to be extra creative with making the characters express emotion. Remember Zidane’s ‘blah blah blah‘ hand waving, or Steiner’s so rigid I’m Shaking? Fantastic.

The Dark Souls “accessibility” is a completely different thing. It’s one thing to make a game something anyone can play due to physical impairments, versus simply not wanting the challenge.

Well, y’see, it IS actually completely different than stealing. A plane ride has a cost. A copy of a digital file has none. You cannot compare the taking of a tangible good or service versus the copying of a digital file. They are completely different things.

If you steal a physical item, there is an associated loss…

While some people consider video games to be a luxury and entirely based on leisure, I wouldn’t be in the professional I am in today without video games (which I couldn’t afford).

Reminds me of ...

“ And I’ll be like, ‘I wanna make a game,’ and they’ll be like, ‘FUCK YOU.’ That was hard to do, bro!”

Have you played it? I have, and I’d have happily spent $60 on it. It costs $40.

You mean the dull boring cookie cutter settings they rip off from other people? The dull worlds full of ugly cookie cutter visuals? You MUST be falling in love with that, because you certainly aren’t falling in love with the clunky, clumsy, boring, and incredibly clumsy gameplay.

We expect what we want to expect. Why do you care, if you don’t give any f*ck about star citizen ?

Shut up, furry.

Jesus! These boobs are even more insane than the ones in League of Legends!

This is up there with my little ponies to me. I am very clearly missing something because I don’t get why people like them. I realize the demo is not the most ideal means of seeing what a game is about but I’ve played it several times, seen videos, and yeah, I don’t get it.

I’ve never heard (or, didn’t hear I suppose I should say) such a quiet audience at a sporting event in my life. I’ve heard more lively crowds at a funeral home. I know Fnatic were the hometown favorites by a country mile, but the crowd should’ve loosed up when it was clear they were getting stomped. Instead, they sat…

I bought the witcher 3 on day one and with all the releases and bugs the game was having I lost interest. So last night I decided to boot it up 1 in the morning. This game is astoundingly gorgeous and still looks better than anything that has released this year. I never thought I would say this but this game looks so…

Sid Meier’s name is on the box, but Civilization was actually the brainchild of two designers. Bruce Shelley is the other, and here are both men giving a good talk on the history of the series.
