Well, just because something is free doesn’t mean you can’t expect something from it. Sure, its a game, but if you go for a free movie screening and the movie borks up in the middle, you’ll still be upset, no?

I feel like every new title save Cap was an experiment and a probe, and this one will be. Thor was about how far people are willing to take outlandish ideas like space vikings and rainbow bridges, GotG was cosmic stories and comedy in a serious setting etc. Strange will throw viewers in the deep end with Magic. They…

I don’t think Marvel and DC have the same effect. When a person looks at a Batman Arkham, they see Batman, not DC. Not even non-fans will lump the Arkham games with, say, Injustice. Careful marketing could have some effect on this.

Lego has the same effect as Warhammer, but instead of becoming a problem, its an…

Timers are there probably so you can’t just squat on your turn forever. There’s probably going to be an option to turn it off for single player.

Please no. 11 units are bad enough. I don’t want to have to move 40 space marines or 200 greenskin with BB mechanics. It’d take an hour per turn.

They actually did, with Space Crusade and Final Liberation. They just never got very popular, and it was technologically difficult to display armies of the sizes of Fantasy and 40K with any sort of graphics to impress. Dawn of War was the first serious(and the only good one, IMO) implementation. Even then it wasn’t a…

The landmass the US needs to protect, and sheer number of attack vectors make a complete “shield” impossible. Even if you could protect yourself from ICBMs by detecting and intercepting every launch (which would number in the hundreds, if Cold War retaliation scenarios are to be believed), there are still nuclear sub…

Honestly, I dig the “new” X-Wings (they’re apparently already outdated. Leia seriously needs to get her hands on better stuff. How do you fight a war with a dozen single-man fighters?) and the Star Destroyer. Also, BB-8 is the best. VII wasn’t about introducing tons of new designs and exotic locales; its the New Hope…

Actually, they did upgrade them. Think about the interface that Finn used in the time he was in the gunner seat of the new TIE/fo, compared to, say, Vader’s TIE Advance. The trick is to keep old stuff looking like they were (that gunner interface on the Falcon is a good example) as a grounding point, to provide that…

All, except Robot-Monk-That-Shoots-His-Beads Zenyatta. The world always needs more robot monks.

What are you talking about? O_o

3D was only ever just a gimmick to hopefully increase immersion. There were no marketable use cases besides that. VR strives to attach the TV to you. I don’t think TV will ever go away because they’re useful outside the house(unless VR/AR miniaturizes to the point where its no bigger than a regular pair of specs), but…

Have you seen pro-gaming girls? All-female teams tend to pick lithe females. Also, Korean. Its one thing to accuse them of pandering, but its quite another to tell them they should bend over backwards to go against expectations of a character stereotype, especially for such an uncommon one.

Also, civilian divers and fishermen may be less likely to meddle with what looks like a live explosive.

You could try watching the game and realize that what they did with the insane lightshow-figures forming recognizable human shapes and gestures is far more expensive and appropriate than simple 3D models.

Next you’ll be asking for a constant countdown in the corner. Honestly, nobody reminds you of refunds or warranties IRL either. That the service exist and its clearly written is already a big deal. Its really up to you as a consumer to know how long you’ve been playing.

Agreed. Made the battles feel way more alive and newbies feel like they can actually make a difference by contributing bits and pieces in points.

Well.. I pay monthly for PS Plus JUST so I can play Destiny (properly). The free stuff is only very occasionally relavent. I’ve maybe downloaded 2 games off it in the last year. The selection is simply not enticing most of the time. I’d play on Xbox One if my friends played there... at least they don’t go down for…

They’re all “linked”, usually being fallout from the original SAO arc. Second arc deals one of the scientist who worked with the antagonist of the original arc not releasing some SAO survivors to experiment on mind programming via NerveGear, including Asuna, his fiancee. Kirito finds out she’s in the Alfheim Online…

If only we could just conjure up video game imagery in real life like this, Microsoft wouldn't have had to spend so much time, money and effort into creating an AR device.
