I'm normally okay for spoilers, but this took me by surprise even with the spoiler warning simply because that sentence served no purpose. It was not related to the point of the article and frankly was not even funny. It seemed like a pointless spoiler. I'm not really annoyed by it but I can understand why other…

For the first time I am not an early adaptor. There are the usual reasons of being too expensive, unable to justify the cost with such a huge backlog of cheap AAA titles I need to play still on last gen (going through my 360 backlog and then will purchase a cheap PS3 to get Uncharted, etc.) and growing older I don't…

Going to define this generation of consoles.

I am actually the opposite. For the first time I am not an early adaptor. There are the usual reasons of being too expensive, unable to justify the cost with such a huge backlog of cheap AAA titles I need to play still on last gen (going through my 360 backlog and then will purchase a cheap PS3 to get Uncharted, etc.)…

I (well parents) bought this game on release day for the SNES. 1995... makes me feel so old.

I was going to respond with something similar but you beat me to it and phrased it a more eloquently then I would have. I completely agree with you. If he gave definitive reasons as to why the game is bad then fair enough. The reality is that Yoshi 's Island only has a few entries. I have played the others and like…

I think the key point is maintaining verisimilitude in a game. Once an enemy does something that is irrational or takes you out of a game that is the point where there is an issue. Lots of examples so far are from FPSs but this happens quite frequently in turn based JRPGs. I cannot count the amount of times where an…

I think this depends on the organisation and job level applied for. I get flexi and decent holidays, but at my level there is literally no negotiation on pay (however at higher levels I usually hear rumours about so and so getting a raise, etc) . Even if the workload increases they use the reasoning that pay depends…

I agree with you there, but another issue to add to your list... I finally got a decentish job, but because of siblings being in an area of high unemployment most have low paying jobs or part time and as a result I pay for some of the bills to help despite working elsewhere. I think when people debate unemployment,…

This is similar to the point of living within your means, but the biggest problem I had was that I was too nice and generous with money with family. I am 28 and want to save up for a house, but have a little debt I am paying off first and have nothing saved. This is mainly because I carried on paying for gas and…

I would say: "I fought in many battles. C64 against Spectrum, SNES against Megadrive, N64 against PS1, Gamecube against PS2 and Xbox and let's not forget the Gameboy against Gamegear and DS against PSP. But in the end time won. Console wars are a young man's game. Now I am older and have more responsibilities I feel…

Just wanted to say that I am glad you are highlighting that the dialogue and characters are lacking and it is one of the reasons I rarely watch anime now. I was really hoping that Attack on Titan would be more developed in its dialogue and characters.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to go into too much detail but I have finished watching the first season and was quite disappointed by it all. I haven't watched anime much in the past few years and thought this show would be a good place to start, but everything that made animes so difficult to watch were still…

Btw just to add to this. I checked your Kickstarter and see that you are based in Manchester (I actually work in Leeds). When you have a script, etc. I would be more then happy to give it a read and let you know what I think or discuss ideas further.

Just to add further to this. I really hope the game creators have at least read the first chapter of the novel. If not please read it now. It is essential! It is credited as inspiring the opening sequence of 28 Days Later (if you need a zombie link) and it is brimming with so much untapped potential. Furthermore, for…

Great comment. What I would also like to point out though is the importance of storyline as well, which in this case seems to feed into stereotypes. Female BME character who is going to be offered up as a sacrifice? Thinking about it now Lee was also heading to jail in Walking Dead. There is also the need to consider…

Some good points were made here. I feel quite strange in that I am more than happy to talk to someone and in a short space of time I could know everything about there family, hopes, dreams, etc. and they feel real good talking to me and want to meet up with me again, but then afterwards I end feeling empty by the…

I know. What I meant was that it is a misconception that people still state they are the same character when they are not despite what was originally intended.

I completely agree and the interesting part is that everyone has a subjective view on what it means to retain your humanity and what lines to cross.

I actually thought the comics do not come close to the game in terms of emotional impact from attachment. Yes, bad things happen in the comics but for me I never felt the same level of attachment as I do compared to Lee, Clem and Co. I think it might be due to poorer writing and maybe the different mediums. Playing…
