    What Aspect of Gaming Would You Like to See Improved?

    While I doubt it'll ever stop completely, it's definitely something that needs to be discussed seriously. I've had a lot of bad experiences in League of Legends where a bunch of people would go AFK or there would be team members that would just give up or purposely feed enemies. I think playful...

    What Aspect of Gaming Would You Like to See Improved?

    I'm sure someone has tried it at one point or another. If they haven't, they should incorporate something like putting in something that'll verify your age like a driver's license, a Social Security number or something like that. That's something that could be interesting, but will require a lot...

    Oh my god, you have no idea how much better that quote made my day!

    I definitely agree with you. Though don't worry about feeling unoriginal, I'm sure half of the points I try to make here have been covered by him at some point or another. :P

    What Aspect of Gaming Would You Like to See Improved?

    This is something I'm honestly surprised hasn't come up before. While I'd definitely like to see that happen, it is a double-edged sword since there is a prominent underage demographic in "adult gaming" that get those games via their parents or family members. Companies would much rather play it...

    What Aspect of Gaming Would You Like to See Improved?

    While I agree that the publishers do need to fuck off a bit, I wouldn't say that they need to be exempt from any decisions over the development of the game. Any corporation is supposed to have checks and balances between those who make the ideas and those who fund and promote them. Right now, I...

    What Aspect of Gaming Would You Like to See Improved?

    Okay, there have definitely been a lot of posts about this topic, and I've tried to avoid it since it is a bit of a "hard to grasp" subject, but I'll try my best. The gaming community is a lot different than it was when it started, the way it was in the 90's or even in the early 2000's. It's a...

    What Aspect of Gaming Would You Like to See Improved?

    Yeah, the gameplay and story melding thing seems to be a bit recurring, but nonetheless, it'd be cool to see done. I definitely agree that Bioware's writing is absolutely over-hyped. It may have it's moments, but there's nothing particularly intriguing about their plot devices or development...

    What Aspect of Gaming Would You Like to See Improved?

    Wow, I'm honestly shocked that there weren't a lot more posts of this out there. I definitely would love to see more communication between the consumers, devs, and gaming community. I think gaming companies tend to try to think like other corporations a little too much when it comes to how they...

    What Aspect of Gaming Would You Like to See Improved?

    It's be nice to see some different worlds being created. Like the one guy that posted before, there seem to be a lot of "rehashes" of J.R. Tolkien-esque worlds and Star Wars knockoffs and it'd be a nice if we could move away from that. Though I think you missed the point about my reacting to...

    What Aspect of Gaming Would You Like to See Improved?

    I definitely agree that that would be a great issue to work on. Unfortunately, it's going to be a tough nut to crack, since it'd be tough for some games to maintain a certain fluidity at a consistent rate. But it'd totally be cool to see some of the ideas people would have to smooth that out...

    What Aspect of Gaming Would You Like to See Improved?

    I definitely agree. Like I mentioned before, I'm a big fan of the Bioshock series. Not only because of it's storytelling, but the fact that it takes a lot of the culture and the taboos from the Gilded Age and put it in an environment that is new and awe-inspiring. It'd be great of developers...

    What Aspect of Gaming Would You Like to See Improved?

    To me, a good game is something that'll entertain me, keep me quiet, and gives me a sense of relaxation. A great game is something that completely immerses me into the world of the game, has my screaming at my television, and makes me pause for about 20 minutes so I calm down. Unfortunately, I...

    What's your worst experience with a non-Escapist forum?

    It's pretty interesting that you bring up Twitter and Facebook. I've always kind of viewed them as forums with constantly changing topics. :P Thanks for posting! :D
