@Mr. Fluffykins: As long as you're not an asshat about your opposing view, go for it.

@Evelgest: If she puts a gun in her handbag, and after a crazy ass jump the gun accidentally goes off, she risks either shooting herself or her parcel. Both of these things are good for the business of someone who runs and delivers parcels for a living!

Hell. I'll actually buy that copy of For Answer, now. With all the other money I spent in October, I just couldn't justify a purchase of it. Sweet.

Do... do people actually turn down booty calls because of games?

@Emiat: That's just the airbrushing they do to make him look younger in the face.

@Bokusatsu_Tenshi: Country has some roots in blues, but it tends to rely more on triad harmonies (your basic major and minor chords), is really regular in rhythm, and has a nasal twang to the vocals and often to the effects of the guitar.

Okay, I'm more of a guitar/drums sort of guy, but bassists don't get enough love. They should definitely pull some Parliament/Funkadelic style funk just so the bass grooves don't get stale.

@justhesh: Note that they specifically said 'people are clamoring for.' They also explicitly stated those as sub genres. Granted country is the most off thing on that list, but the inclusion of Freezepop in several games should, and Nine Inch Nails should at least prove that they're willing to venture into realms…

When you try to make everybody happy, everybody only gets half a fuck. You start out by fucking one group, and finish by fucking another, and though everybody eventually gets their cookies, no one's completely happy.

@FigrotiLives: It's not really a spoiler, considering just about everything on the ship that looks like it might have once had hands also happens to be wearing the remnants of uniforms, or looks a lot like it's a human that's suffering.

@dnzperson: Critical reading failure. Only one of those paragraphs actually said anything about developer fallibility. The other stuff was there to establish that I've made efforts to learn a bit about what I'm talking about, and not just talking out of my ass. In case you didn't notice, that was actually a…

@myspambox: Okay, I understand this whole tongue-in-cheek attempt you're trying to go with via excessive quotes, but it's really hard to read through given it makes you look like you failed a test on basic punctuation.

I often wonder how much developers actually pay attention to what gamers say about things they like, and how many games, in fact, the developers themselves have played.

@octree: Things that look really good in principle are often very poorly managed when put together. You can have a beautiful design document for a game, but if you hit a snag, it gives you trouble, and then you continue to hit more and more snags, it's easy to go down the crapper.

@deathbunny: Yeah, really, God forbid he get to use what he's earned to enjoy himself and throw a little something out there for his fans. What a jerk!

@pieisdelicioushere: The problem was that its foundation was fundamentally sound in theory and decently implemented in practice, but everything on top of that foundation fell flat.

First one. I have a hard time believing that anyone with boobs over a B-cup would willingly choose building-jumping as a career, for starters, and I'm glad the developers kept her chest small as opposed to going for the obvious opportunity to make lots of ridiculous bouncing a la Dead or Alive or Soul Calibur.

@R0YB0T: Yeah, cause I didn't anticipate that particular comment coming. I apologize if you didn't mean it as negatively as I took it, incidentally, but there's a history of people throwing that particular example back in an effort to be a smart ass.

The whole price cut thing was a fairly interesting strategy considering how crippling it actually is to buy the 200 dollar version of the 360... you're really spending $250 before tax so that you can actually save your games via a memory card, and you can't do anything online without the hard drive for Live...

Namco wants money, and cross platform makes more. Plus it's not past Microsoft to put a hundred dollar bill on a string in the middle of the street and make people chase it to their offices.
