Of course now that it’s months late and we’ve got other stuff to play, I’ll bet 90% of potential Steam buyers (including me) will just wait for Christmas and the inevitable 50% off sale.

SEGA. Skies of Arcadia happened. You can’t just ignore it. I know someone at the company cares, but you won’t let them do anything except throw some fleeting references into the latest “I can’t believe it’s not Mario Kart” Sonic snooze-fest.

It seems to me that the best way to protect dogs is simply not to feed them human food, with the exception of simple meats. Dogs are carnivores, humans are omnivores, they’re just not designed to eat most of the stuff we do.

“the passive aggressive ‘What a save!’’s”

This reminds me of an Android “anti-virus” app I reported on. The developer had basically made an on-off switch and called it an anti-virus. When people peeked at the code and found almost nothing, he claimed it was a mistake he’d made by uploading a demo or something instead of the “real” app.

I love Mount & Blade, spent more time on the campaign than any other strategy game. But they announced Bannerlord almost three years ago, and progress still seems to be painstaking slow with no ETA in sight.

Oh man, that is perfect. They even gave her the Vegeta widow’s peak.

Thanks very much for sharing your experience with us.

Cool your jets, man, I’m genuinely asking to be better-informed here.

Really? I’m not an expert, but I’ve always considered that the crazy amount of promiscuity in Japanese media (anime, live-action, and of course the various flavors of porn) was an inversion of Japan’s extremely repressed sexual culture as practiced in person and in public.

tl;dr It’s just standard anime-grade Japanese weirdness, not homophobia. Everybody relax.

Oliver Queen, is that you? When did you find a hidden hair stylist on Lian Yu?

An excellent incentive to release a working game the first time around. After all, movie reviewers don’t give a crappy film extra points for a much-improved Director’s Cut four months later.

“This is something that Rocksteady takes very seriously. We are working closely with our external PC development partner to make sure these issues get resolved as quickly as possible.”

I don’t understand the appeal of this. The art already exists (don’t know if it’s official art or fanart, but it’s been around for a while), putting it in Minecraft over the course of six months just makes a lower-res digital copy in the least efficient way possible.

I tried it on Steam, but the game starts really slow. After about four hours of staying in the intro area and running repetitive missions I went right back to the “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Scarface” world of Vice City.

I tried Saints Row and it’s alright, but Just Cause 2 really nailed the freedom and insanity that made GTAIII a classic. The grapple and parachute combo is ingenious. Granted, the story and acting are terrible, but if you view it as a so-bad-it’s-good action movie pastiche, it’s much more entertaining. I can’t wait…

Man, I would pay so much for a full conversion. Vice City was the last GTA game I finished, because it was the last one that was fun. That was back when Rockstar still knew that some of us play video games to do things we can’t in real life, like cathartic violence and insane car stunts, not to drive our imaginary…

Everyone: “Right back at Uwe.”

A game in which people are shot, stabbed, and burned alive by demon fire? A-OK for teens.
