And now you can see it. We aim to please.

Is part of the problem also an obsession with scripted sequences? That's what I took away from the 'shoot the hinges' idea. It wouldn't be such a big deal if ALL hinges could be shot.

Also, it's not JUST the linearity that's the issue. I realise older games could be linear as well. Perhaps the bigger issue is the pacing THROUGH those linear spaces.

My gta online experience:
"G. L. A. M. O. R. OU. S. LIFE IN THE FAST LAAANE"
I've always wanted to have a Snake Eater duet though.

Stupid gamers and their friendly musical performances!

Given what I've seen and played, you'll be most pleased. c:

You have an X chromosome as well.

Yep, and they get sucked back into the pokeball, just like anime. It's weird though... I didn't realize how accustomed I'd gotten to sprites plummeting out of sight.

Having been playing since Red/Blue, I can tell you, there's nothing quite like exploring the world of Pokemon completely oblivious to anything. I've been intentionally avoiding any and all spoilers I could (except for Charizard!) because I'm hoping it'll recapture the sense of wonder that my first playthrough of Red…

The Ys have it :P

Seems a fun world to explore, and I'm looking forward to all the…

Isn't that kinda the point? the designs to be ridiculous? That's how I would have gone about it. Nothing says boring than an average design.

FYI - do not fret if #Kotaku commented as you today! We shut this opt-in feature off so it won't happen anymore. Have a blast at Kotaku!

Same boat. I actually still buy the games in order to support the developers but I can't bring myself to actually brave them myself. Watching people play them is the best though.

I followed the development of Penumbra like a hawk after the tech demo. I played through the first one, never beat the second one, then I got Amnesia:Dark Descent and I had to stop playing when I realized I was grinding my teeth, clenching my butt and yelling at my cat and girlfriend whenever they made a noise. I…

Banana suit? How about don't be that guy that shows up in a horse mask.

I play Call of Duty... I'm not freaked out by playing as a teenage girl...

You’re freaked out by the idea of playing as a teenage girl.
