Well both are Alpha builds so I won't criticize too much but the variety of things to do in DayZ is fun... Various levels of decay on items, finding food and water that are drinkable, medicines and different types of cloths. It's all a lot more realistic and more populated with buildings and waste. And I've yet to be…

I don't remember those ones very well, but it seems to me that the vast majority of animated Disney movies follow the hero monomyth pretty closely, which always ends with evil being vanquished, and that the few films you listed are the exception to the rule.

Even if Ponyo is universally regarded as the worst Miyazaki movie, it still has the genetics of a Miyazaki movie which make it at odds with Disney movies in many ways. For example, Disney movies generally play to the vindictive, blood-thirsty qualities of audiences when at the end the villain, evil beyond redemption,…

Let's not forget the devs wipe the servers almost weekly, so aren't they the biggest griefers?

it feels like a ponzi scheme: game gets released, hype builds, new players arrive only to get trolled, a few of them become trolls...

Actually, they're taking the zombies out of the game from what I've heard.

i'm jaded these days... unless the game specifically has co-op functions, i find most, if not all MP games are 'asshole-simulators'... :(

While I'd say FPS skills would certainly help (more so in DayZ than Rust) its not a necessary part of survival. DayZ and Rust actually offer very different experiences. DayZ is set in an established world. To survive you have to scavenge for gear, loot cities and towns, find food, weapons, tools and whatnot. You watch…

Disney has a few IP's that aren't child friendly. Doesn't really mean anything.

You should really take a look back at the Wii. The games on the Wii are incredibly varied and on par with the Gamecube but everyone was so caught up with console warz to even really notice at the time. Really good thread showing the comparison between the two systems http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthre…

No it didn't.
Notice how Games For Windows Live got shut down because it was useless crap to PC gamers.
Yea. All XBL did for PC was annoy us until it went away.

Well people are buying it. So it's apparently worth $60 dollars to somebody.

Starfox 3d kept selling for a good while though. It didn't do bad at all considering the first, horrible year the 3ds lived through.

I feel like crying

Safer games? Just because a company is force to deliver a functional product doesn't mean that innovation is stalled. Testing functionality is part of QA ("Quality Assurance"). I am tired of being a beta tester. The legal term software developers are legally allowed to use to promote an unfinished product. My only…

That's just not true. I don't see anybody talking about suing over poor review scores, and a game can be both innovative and functional. If a company were held responsible for shipping an incomplete and/or buggy game, the result would likely be longer development times but there's no reason why it would affect…

I was thinking about this and you know what? If companies don't want to get sued then maybe they shouldn't put out broken games, or at the very least the video game industry needs to make a better job of guaranteeing that these games will get fixed, and not just thrown a bandaid or two before they start to work on…

Battlefield 4 is a pretty safe game. Generic FPS shooter.

Fewer games with better quality? Oh no, my boots and my limited schedule/money are shaking!
