The fact remains, something I don't think that you can dispute, is that a primary purpose of an AMA is to generate positive PR. Some of that positive PR comes from the, as you say, supposedly candid form the AMA takes. Comments like this are the deviation from PR speak AMAs are supposed to generate and the reason why…

Then Twitch's (obviously nonexistent) PR department should be the one fielding questions. This is a PR stunt, it's not unreasonable to expect the CEO to act with a bit of tact.

Calling it "typical" doesn't make it appropriate or smart, especially considering some of the internal issues the fighting game community deals with. Shear's quick edit certainly bolsters the contention that the initial comment was inappropriate.

I would actually be pretty interested in buying this. Though, I'm a little confused how the single screen play would work... that's obviously beside the point. A shipped product wouldn't need single screen play if it worked with, say, iPhones, TVs, and computer monitors.

Seriously. I'm sure the player has some great friends he's fostered over the course of this experience. I imagine it is playing with those friends that made the process bearable.

I hope all the loudmouth idiots who always come out of the woodwork in the comments section of articles like these don't trick you, or any journalist, into believing that these are articles people don't want to read and don't find important. A huge segment of the gaming community is extremely gratified to see pieces…

Honestly, don't these "THIS ISN'T GAMING RELATED!!!!" posts get old? To the people who constantly make them, that is? People who play video games also do... other things.

Chess has acquired a high reputation as being a means to discipline the mind, because it requires a strong memory and peculiar powers of combination. It is also generally believed that skill in playing it affords evidence of a superior intellect. These opinions, we believe, are exceedingly erroneous. Napoleon the…

I think the animation quality of MSG is excellent both for its time and today. I look at something like MSG as one looks at the "stylized" graphics of Nintendo's Wii titles. They were able to stack up against "technologically superior" games graphically because they had a unique style. Looking at the vividness of the…

The viewpoing that "UC stuff has not aged well at all" is unsurprising considering Eisenbeis view on Cowboy Bebop. The original Mobile Suit Gundam has served as a successful entry point for many of my anime-agnostic friends. Furthermore, Seed barely scratches the surface of MSG, let alone the Universal Century as a…

Seriously, it's one thing to dislike a game that actually functions. There are games on this list that barely even qualify to be referred to as such. They're so mechanically flawed they must be some sort of sadistic torture machine. Godai is definitely one of those "avant-garde" titles, beyond enjoyment... channeling…

Stake: Fortune Fighters

Cosign. Game was garbage. I can't believe how horrendous it was.

I was really young when I played this game, but I remember having fun with it. I played it with my dad over a weekend, it was a rental. Nothing but fond memories, however filtered by youth they may be.

So often in anime, gay and/or transgendered characters are treated as mere comic relief by playing on the “flamboyantly gay” stereotype. The Rising, instead, chooses to focus on the hardships of identifying as the gender opposite to your sex. In the film we learn much about superhero Fire Emblem. We see his first…

As much as I want P4A, its omission does make sense. All the incredibly passionate international players (not to undercut the domestic crowd) really brought a lot of excitement to the tournament, and now they're all playing Ultimax. Hopefully when The Ultimax is released here, P4A can come back for another year.

Hilariously enough, the data for DLC 1 and 2 are, in fact, already on the disk. As you can see from this Capcom Unity post with enclosed patch notes (that everyone seems to be ignoring...) http://www.capcom-unity.com/dead_rising/go… the data included in the patch is for the 3rd and 4th DLC. The size of the patch is…

My interest in the Wii U would only be vague at best at a $250 price point. At $150, I'd buy one tomorrow. Right now, that interest is non-existent. When SMT X Fire Emblem and X drop, I'd be willing to spend $250 at most on the device (and benefit from a healthy backlog of first party). Until then, I think we can…

It's not really the same situation. Mononoke wasn't adapted from a manga like Nausicaa. In this case, the potential for a sequel comes from the 5 volumes that the movie didn't include.

A statement like this couldn't be further from "the truth," or truth in general. The reason for this is that meaningless ad hominem (which you are for some reason cosigning?) has no logical value or force, thus there is no truth to be determined. It's simply a vacuous statement.
