Spectacularly said. Thats how I myself have always seen it as well. Yes, ofcourse smaller teams can get hurt by piracy. But I always see it as the shady big publishers (and theres a lot of them these days) getting what they deserve. Maybe don’t make it a business model to spit into peoples faces and then get pissed…

Early adopters and trend setters are always the initial target market, never the mass population, because the majority has been proven to be skeptical and shaky regardless of price point. With such different price points probably comes very different hardware and we will have to wait and see if such a difference makes…

He clearly did not know a single thing about hardcore gamers.

I can see at face value where this comment would make sense. But, it doesnt. Gamers are probably not affluent in a general sense, but they do know how to figure out how to get the thing they want. Even when its regularly a over hyped pos from a known shady publisher. They will still fall in line and come up the cash…

Not all that different from the iphone trend. New tech can be expensive and survive thanks to early adopters and trend setters, then the product shifts in price and how its viewed to be more appealing to the main consumer eventually trailing back off again to die hard fans (depending on the thing). This happens over…

Exactly, Star Wars fans are easily the most annoying of all the groups. Nothing makes them happy. For years it was “OMG! The prequals are nothing like the originals! booo! fuck you Lucas!!” Now they have a successor to the originals done similarly and they are all “BOO FUCK YOU ABRAMS!!”. They totally missed the point…

or actually has a claw, we never know who is behind the keyboard.

Because they done ran out of dem der idears for them miceys.

I love watching the indie titles go head to head with douchebag big name publishers and win. There are good big name studios and good publishers out there, but the bad greatly out weigh them (you know who they are). Its fun to watch the heart and passion for game design out pace and out sell shitty corporate hype…

Fanbases are growing to be like the poorly raised child that hugs an animal too tight until it cries in pain desperate to be freed. There used to be a better ratio of “hey you like x? I like x, thats cool” and the occasional “x is better than your entire life and your opinions are wrong and stupid”. But to me now it…

Bloodborne as well. I too was noticing a trend but didn’t realize the scope of it until your list. It is nice for the time being, frankly after 25 years of gaming I’m pretty tired of the usual categories. It is difficult to find something that hasn’t been done and actually enjoyable to play tho. Maybe that is why I…

I just read your write up from RPS that you linked and WOW that is just awesome. Super facinating and inspiring to read the impact Fallout 2 had on you, game are certainly unlike anything else. As for the list I agree with FO4 being last, yes its the most played of THIS year but it will not have the longevity and…

I will bookmark this list and check some out, love me some JRPG.

I was confused by this write up like wtf how does someone not already know this shit. But you made a very good point a didn’t even think of. Good on ya. Thx.

Agreed. I mean wtf why is this even an article or a thing being talked about? No sarcasm, I mean legit, wtf is this? Why is this even a topic point, its a digital persons bikini that is too revealing for her quoted age in a country that greatly frowns upon that. They’re trying to sell units here, not fight the man.

I find it odd this is a story at all.

Worried? No. Outraged? No. Concerned? Maybe, from a financial security standpoint, and just barely at that. I also seriously doubt anyone else is worried or outraged. Sure if I was say a teenager with a precious few days off and really wanna play my new game online I might get pissed IF that occurs. But I think this…

If the other person has any money, and not having insurance im guessing not.

If the guy can afford to take them to court yes, if not, no.

Ah Texas. I live here, not in Irving but people without insurance is very common place in this state. Mostly illegals drive without insurance but after so many years other people figured out they can get away with it too. Many insurance companies simply refuse to admit fault or pay out and nothing happens, it just…
