@PearceShea: Why does the fact that you arent interested in the product mean that they are trying too hard?

@Vanilla_Ninja: Your gender is irrelevant when we're gaming. Your interest in games however is relevant when a guy is assessing you as a potential partner just as your taste in food, clothing, and humor is relevant. If we actually knew each other and there was interest on both sides, sharing a hobby with me, a major…

@Pyrefly: I think that's where part of the disagreement lies because I'm not so sure it cant be every bit as intuitive, accurate, and efficient as current methods if not more so. I'm not certain it can, but as dramatically as technology as changed over the last 50 years I'm having a hard time ruling out something…

@Dangeresque: Kojima-san doesn't have to make Metal Gear any more: She's definately over the top but it's a trailer meant to quickly introduce her. I'm sure the character will have a lot more depth in the game, there's no reason to assume it will always be that over the top.

@feder: Apparently it depends on where you live as I've yet to meet a girl in person who can really keep up with me when talking about RPGs. I have no doubt plenty of girls play, but it's still more common and "socially accpetable" for guys to game. I'm looking forward to more girls getting into it because more…

@ColombianBan: Personally, that's not what I mean by it. A kickin body is always nice but I've yet to meet a girl who's a hardcore gamer. I'm not saying they dont exist, I'd assume most people who post here are pretty hardcore, but I know plenty of hardcore guys who game. Dont get me wrong, I know girls who game, but…

@Pretty Sneaky Sis: I dont think motion control has anything to do with the Wii's failure with hardcore gamers. The system doesnt have the hardware to keep up with the other two systems in terms of number of things rendered and the controller sucks. Maybe the controller sucks because they expect you to use motion…

@BlingOnMyWrist: Whether the tech is all that new, the ideas that are being explored are new or at least old ones that people are willing to give a chance again now for some reason. I do think the voice recognition is new and I dont remember the eye toy doing the kind of facial recognition and skeletal maping that…

@Pyrefly: I disagree, I know I'm about as hardcore a gamer as you can get and I'm wildly interested in the potential of Natal. I can think of all kinds of ways to make games better through the use of motion control. Not a gimmick, genuinely better, deeper, more precise controls that dont involve jumping around like a…

@cwbys21: But DD can't ever get to be big enough until they're willing to sell the DD games for what they're worth. There are people who buy DD games now but that's not an accurate way to judge how many people would be willing to purchase DD games if they were reasonably priced. There's this huge gap between gamers…

@ChickenPawks: I see that the Namco Bandai president said that but he also goes on to say that he thinks that digitally distributed games cant support "today's scale of big-game development," and references pacman games on mobile platforms as an alternative to "big-game development." That bothers me. I'd be willing…

Why in the world do game companies think it's ok to charge full price for a digital copy of a game? When I buy it in the store they have to pay for the shipping/distribution, the disk and box and manual, and they have to give the store a cut of the sale. Take all that out and you've gotta be saving at least $10-$20.…

@Netnavi: I'm thrilled we're not seeing any more WW2 games from Infinity Ward. They've done a great job but it's time to move on, WW2 games have been done to death. If people wanna keep making them that's their business but at this point it's become a niche market and I hope people like Infinity Ward will stay away…

@FriedConsole: The problem is that Infinity Ward does an amazing job with their games. My solution to Activision being a piece of crap was not buying World At War. My support of Infinity Ward is more important to me than boycotting Activision. Also, I'll buy the new Blizzard games whenever they're released because…

@the7k: You're right that people who complain about video games do lack logic but that has begun to matter less and less lately as gaming scores legal victories. I dont think porn on a console will happen just yet but I do think that trying to make it happen is a big step toward it happening. Porn might not give…

@Zer033: It's not Card's universe, Chair owns the universe and asked Card to write books in that universe. Get your facts straight.

I'd just like to say that while I do not enjoy sports games, I dont hate them either. I have enjoyed sports games in the past, games like NBA Jam and NFL Blitz come to mind, but I dont find the offerings most currently put forth compelling. I am interested in FIFA and Pro Evo Soccer after the above description, so…

@Saiwyn Hy: I'm in complete agreement with that statement. I'm a supporter of gays and gay rights and I see bigotry and homosexuality as a sin as completely different things.

@Mentuss: Someone pretty please promote this post? Seriously, the fact that the universe belongs to Chair and that Card is just a sub-contractor is hugely relevant here.

@MrGreen72: Where's the "like" option on kotaku? :p
