I'm not really a WoW player... but there's an endgame. There's SOMETHING you're supposed to be working for, or they at least give you the illusion that it's important, whether or not their audience sees it that way is another discussion.

I can respect that, having never played the Shadowrun RPG I wasn't put off by it at all. I loved the colorful cyberpunk themes, and I have yet to play something as engaging as the hey-day of Shadowrun when you could easily find a server. Again, while understandable, it's a damn shame that people overlooked this simply…

Whoa whoa whoa Luke, Shadowrun on the 360 was a FANTASTIC and criminally undersold shooter. To this day it remains the most well-balanced shooter on the console, hands down. Considering you had four wildly different classes and a small but nice assortment of weapons and abilities to choose from, the fact that they…

Here they go calling Minecraft a game again... Until there's a win condition, it remains a toy, albeit an engaging one for some, but still a toy.

So these maps won't be available in public matches? Only Horde, Beast, and Private?

Where your analogy breaks down, however, is that by buying the disc you don't OWN the GAME. It says so right in the EULA. You own a right to play the game, to run the software, but in no case, in gaming or other software other than open source, do you OWN the software contained on the disc.

You're pretending that the waste product from nuclear power is a physical manifestation of death. Let's cut the tree-hugging hippie crap, that's simply not true. You will not start glowing green nor contract the super-AIDS by briefly being in the vicinity of toxic waste from nuclear power plants. Sure, it's not a good…

Oh please, it took one of the largest natural disasters in recorded history to put that plant in danger. Nuclear power is safe, and as technology increases, our ability to deal with those emergencies are only going to get better. Go on, spend all that money on wind power and get less than half the output.

You're obviously not playing in a fashion in which you feel you need five cells. Personally I couldn't play my way without them. I'm not playing stealth so much, so when I get spotted I use a lot of energy pretty quickly, but likewise I can toss out a ton of damage.

When are people going to get that these aren't really games? They're toys.

That's not really a bad thing though, is it? I mean we call it grindy repetitive CRAP for a reason =)

Really? Demon's Souls is huge here, and let's not lie to each other here, it's a HARD game, comparatively speaking. So it's not the difficulty that are putting people off, what is it then?

That's just it though, they WON'T end up like Sega, BECAUSE of their hardware. Many people are underestimating Nintendo's library. If they allow others to take hold of their IPs, there could be some amazing things done with them. Talent is spread over the world now, it's not just in Japan anymore.

Nintendo should enter the social space? No, they should license their games and IPs for other consoles, they stand to make a killing.

Give people some sort of leveling system and no matter how shallow the game in reality is (hated Boringlands), people will eat it up.

It's not really a game... it's a toy... there's no win condition.

That's a lame argument. Everyone played Goldeneye. They didn't play it because it was on an N64, they played it because it was an awesome game. Most of the core gamers have moved on to the PS3 and XBox ever since Nintendo started catering to the casual crowd. Releasing Goldeneye on those platforms would see HUGE sales.

Dude, we get it. You don't like Duke Nukem.

Ah Kellen's been arguing my point. Objectification != misogyny. It's a lazy way for feminists to CLAIM misogyny when really they just don't like it when guys call them sexy and look at their boobs (note, I'm being willfully facetious). And while I certainly respect your time spent for women's rights, WHY is…

Have you played the game?
