I'm actually in a similar position, there are plenty of games that I'd say warrant the price, but I'm just not confident in Sony's PS3. The PSN hacking started it, but I know a guy who had quite a complicated bugged hard-drive situation and that story is incredibly worrying. The way I've...

Yeah, the Extremis stuff wasn't very well thought out. How it changed the subject's personalities wasn't ever well defined especially. I'm in the camp where they should've had Mandarin as the actual big bad, not some lava dude with a petty revenge scheme.

It was true to an extent in Dark Souls, technically you could've rang the second bell first, circumvented all of Blighttown, achieved the rite of kindling, and battle the Four Kings, all before ringing the first bell. What the article gives me the hope of is it sounds like we won't have to go...

For the people that are wondering if this is just a tabloid thing, it might've been started by them, but other websites are running the story as well. Last I checked, the BBC wasn't considered a prime example of the tabloid menace, but I'm a yank, so what do I know? I can understand forcing...

I too want that image as a real candy. It looks so delicious.

I know this statement must sound really dickish considering how much nostalgia is flowing out of my eye sockets right now, but I want to see some gameplay before I contribute. Some of the concept images look like they'll slow down the game. I can't fathom how they intend to pull off the...

I say just leave it. It's going to be more of a pain to move anyway. At worst it might kill some grass if you leave it in one spot for too long, or you know, herald in an ancient and chaotic deity, whatever comes first.

Considering how many people suggest that a sequel or remake doesn't have to improve the game, just upgrade it with better graphics, I can see Sony making a sizable bounty of money with this system. After all, these upgrades are basically early remakes. I'm guessing this is just Sony's way of...

I'm a lazy, melancholic type, but the test perceived me as phlegmatic. Gotta say the test is too over-simplified though. Four vague descriptions of socially acceptable personalities is probably too few and inaccurate of how humans work.

A game designer should ask "Why should there have to be _?", but they should also ask "What would a _ bring to the story?". If the story is a well-made story that feels complete from the given perspectives then, post-release, everything should be fine because it's a good game, barring stupid...

Thanks for the clarification about Elysium and the correction about D9! Though I still can't fathom how Earth has turned to such shit when they have enough resources to build robots, but not enough to build the stuff on Elysium. The fact that there is only one space colony is also confusing...

DOTA communities have an awful reputation, but it's the same as any other group of people. Some of them will be vocal jerks. Sometimes you'll have an entire team of pleasant people. I agree with Zhukov's estimate though, one person every three games will probably cause trouble. Bringing friends...

Something about the setting is telling me to not watch this movie. I'm guessing it's the same "all of government/leaders are evil" theme that District 9 brought as well. Not even every Nazi was pure evil, yet future government employees are all evil,(District 9 examples) willing to perform...

When the game is fun in spite of, or because of, its shortcomings. Every game has flaws, but as long as the game feels rewarding to play and is still very fun, then it's still a good game. For half of FF9, I hated the combat because of how easy it is and how the ATE gauge fills up too fast, but...

I really don't like the sound of these. I'm not a fan of the designs, and they sound like a one time gimmick to try and add more useful held items. Problem with adding more held-items which give better abilities and might give free stats? There will be no reason to not use that item. It should...
