I would agree with this if it wasn't so damn expensive and so much damn work to make even a small videogame and keep it running: I can only imagine what it's like to do so with a massive game as starcraft 2.

A question: What wars had trade as a major reason? I'd buy the argument that starcraft is akin to soccer, if it wasn't for the frequent patching, balancing, customer support and server hosting that starcraft entails. Granted: they didn't have to remove lan from starcraft 2, in fact korea pro...

Hey cool! For those who love this fighting thread, might love my website: http://wecanfight.com I also placed a link to this thread to return the favor! On the website I and my friends put fights that we like/love or are so bad they're good.

Yes I know exactly what you mean and the internet can be bad for you (or me) that way. I think the best way to approach either designing a game or writing a forum post, is to try to write it for the positive common sense people that will understand. And then hope for the best. And ignore...

It already is a word. When I zynga your game, it means I copy your gameplay, add some aggressive social marketing to make mine grow faster, add some questionable zwinky bars and other 'deals' to monetize it. Then I sell your personal information for additional revenue. When I zynga a...

I mean to do this purely as a favor to you: I hope you will accept it that way. This could have been your post: ---------------------------------------- The problem is in part competent design or lack thereof. Sometimes game designers are out of touch with their fan base and have...

More interesting than the remake of X-com was the other game its creators made when they had lost the trademark rights: "Laser Squad Nemesis", very solid tactical gameplay and very interesting game mechanics, where each players plans 5 seconds ahead and then is acted out simultanously.

oh noes, 150,000 women that he has close access to around his age and would be attracted to. Whatever will he do? Better become a monk.

This might be a problem if those triple AAA mature games were actually mature. This is silly criticism. Putting fines on selling mature rated games to minors is not a bad thing.

Just because a lot of people are complaining doesn't mean they didn't like it. I can complain about my girlfriend, my parents, any number of things. Doesn't mean I don't like them.

I'm confused. The only thing I know about this game is that it is meant as a MoM successor, that the lead person in charge (programmer, ceo, producer bla-bla-bla), the big chief, said it's a failure. And now I want to buy and play the game, when I can only buy 2 games per year (the other...

Zing! Couldn't agree more. It's valid criticism that reviewers should finish games. But then you're already starting with the assumption that game reviews are impartial.

I remember reading about planescape: torment and the reviewer wrote that each time you play the game must be very different. As an example he used a house where the first game he had met some guys and the second time when he entered it, the house was completely razed. That got me excited for...

I love Eggert and the preciseness of his communication. He clearly understands that game rules take precedence over realism and he pays attention to the details that makes it better possible to learn some things from games and rewards those that do know more about guns.

When surveys are done in the states, there's a hundred things wrong with it, when they're about Japan, suddenly they're taken as complete truth?
