I love the look of this. Reminded me of naval battles in Total Annihilation. That games battles on land, air and sea truly made me realise how (in some ways) Command and Conquer was kinda bad. I still love those games but naval and air combat sucked. I loved having huge fleets of ships blasting the shit out of each…

Hate to be that guy but to quote the article, "For a "useless" ability". Sorry!

It's all because of the multiplayer. People are fickle.

Apple has patents which they used to sue people with. Very dubiously of course and laughable but money talks. This is entirely different. Phone companies are all suing the hell out of each other but there's very little of that going on in the games industry. This would be like Apple suing a competitor because they…

Except A) A touchpad is entirely different to a touchscreen, B) Sony already had its touchpad on the Vita released before the Wii U and C) Nintendo essentially weren't the first to do ingame screenshots and whatnot.

And that's why they said "at least on paper"

A touchpad is totally different to a touch screen. The Vita already has a touchpad and it will presumably be much the same as that.

It's not ripping off you abhorrent human being. Learn how the world works.

I thoroughly enjoyed When Vikings Attack. I do wonder though how the game translated to Japan and other non-English speaking countries. It doesn't affect the gameplay at all but all the regional accented shouts of "to me!" and "hey up lad!" and "all the apples and pears!" really add a funny tone to the game. I wonder…

The Wii U and Steambox have probably impacted that. And of course if Sony is last to release out of 3 other competitors it would be very bad for them.

Agreed the cutting actions were awful, slow and just didn't feel right. It wasn't any easier than say just pressing a certain button to do it. I can see how controls like that would work and feel intuitive for other things but this one just felt tacked on.

Oh haro!

That's ma boy!

I don't find too many of those to be honest. I encounter more people that say they hate VII and like VI the best because it's a kind of elitist FF hipster thing to do. Or so it seems to me anyway. Not in the slightest saying you are on of those though. I just see more and more VII hate these days and while each to…

I actually think XII DID try that, only the story was so abhorrently executed it totally failed to pull it off.

Quite surprised to see FFV high up on anyones list to be honest! I thought that game absolutely stunk. Only 3 characters who were thrown together and told they have to save the world within 5 minutes of the game starting. The random encounter level was set waaaay too high as well, to the point that I actually began to…

Are you saying FFVII is a bad game?

Very true. I enjoyed it at the time but in hindsight I started to dislike it more and more. Over the years I've come to realise that it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I once though, that I was concentrating on certain faults too much. As you say it has some of the best scenes of any of the series. The assassination…

They have a purpose. They mask bad special effects or lack of. The BSG: Blood and Chrome was full of it because only something like 10% of it used real sets. The rest was green screen and with a smaller budget it's easier to use lens flare to make it look more convincing.

I don't know why people keep saying this. Uwe Boll would literally have NO chance of directing Star Wars. I agree on Paul Anderson though.
