Damn people, he said he did shit in the past. Poor guy just wants to give us Eternal Darkness 2. I'm sure you are not 100 percent proud of your past, so maybe give the guy a break. I want to play horror games again, something the industry hasn't done enough of in recent years.

"McMillen’s report includes no mention of embezzling money [...]"
Right, I'm going to respond here.
Wow - this guy just took my number 1 spot for "Game developer who could bore me to sleep within 5 seconds of opening his mouth", previously held by the likes of Tim Willits and Peter Molyneux... hmmm, I seem to have a problem with bald, middle-aged men who never live up to their promise.
Anyhow, I can't imagine the…
Amazing how prophetic they were, innit?
I'm glad to see someone else was paying attention during their American history courses. I swear, every time I hear, "The Founding Fathers Were Christian men," I want to spit a nail—an entire, sharp-pointed, iron nail. It's like reading their notes and autobiographies—which…
The majority of the major Founding Fathers that people know by name advocated a true representative republic, i.e. officials are elected and their only allowed official affiliation is that of their elected position. This idea was voted out and replaced with the party system on the grounds of expedience of government…
To be fair, the government has no right to tell parents how to raise their children.
No I hate all the parties, they are playing the people for fools. The politicans are all the same. It is especially worse because so many of them have been in the senate, congress, house for years and decades, their arrogance needs to be shot down.
True, but I feel Marcus does it because he feels passionate about it, and it certainly comes across as that way. Whereas the articles from Kotaku and the authorship itself certainly seem devoid of all passion and point to the fact that it is just to garner as much clicks as they can. Sort of like pointing out…
They have the right to do so, but Marcus has just as much right to tell them to get out of the industry that he, I, you and many others feel passionate for as gamers.
I'd have to disagree, it's blatant that he's passionate about the industry, he's been a part of the industry, and he speaks brutally honestly of the industry. He backs up his points, and he calls his own shit out if he feels like he has done what he calls other people out on. You may call that being offensive or…
(re: epic mickey scoreing 73 @ metacritic) which is demonstrative of his point regarding the problem with metacritic. Apparently, people who like Mickey Mouse/Disney themed games really loved Epic Mickey. Like, it captured the essence of whatever it is that Mickey Mouse is about. But metacritic does not recognize…
Because he's an industry veteran and he's had a hand in creating some classic games.
I think also, relating to Marcus calling Kotaku out, is their stance on their audience's critiques of articles like these; I can't be bothered to fish for where exactly it was said, but in reply to articles like hers and others that are ruining the site, the over all reaction by the staff at Kotaku (I think it was…
Marcus Beer has ripped on Patricia Hernandez over at Gametrailers, Hurrah! I've been waiting for someone credible to call some of the editors on this site out on their bullshit. This isn't really a gaming site as much as it is the equivalent of the Sun newspaper, loosely reporting on proper games journalism.
In…
Spector developed the Epic Mickey series in 2010 which was very well received. Before that he created Deux Ex, Thief, and the Wing Commander series. Get some respect, the guy should be revered, he's a legend.
I would say that one doesn't need to have shipped a well received product in the last decade to have valid insight into the critical industry that's sprung up around video games. Indeed, Warren Spector as a man who's shipped games both critically lauded and spurned may be uniquely well qualified to comment on the…
You don't have to use critical thinking skills to play Guitar Hero.
There's been a trend in "new kids can't play" lately. I remember an article a little while ago about some guy who was having trouble navigating and remembering objectives in System Shock 2 because it doesn't have a minimap with waypoints.
