This article really sums it up for me. I find it odd that the reaction to the first episode is so negative. For me, GoT has been the most involved Telltale game in terms of analyzing choices and thinking of the consequences down the road. Sure, most of my decisions likely won't drastically...

My answer was No, because I really don't feel any urge to cry in all these games, movies, etc that people often tear up. Brothers: A tale of two sons, FF7 and so forth. It's sad stuff, but not tear worthy to me. There are only two times I actually teared up: Harry Potter 5 book spoiler...

For me it's Planescape Torment. At the time, I never even gave a second thought for it, instead concentrating on Baldur's Gate 2. Years later, the internet says it's apparently a masterpiece, a true underappreciated gem. Of course, I HAD to play it, to enjoy this masterpiece so that I could join...

I just last week gotten Starting Point. That book is chock-full of stuff, ranging from Miyazaki's thoughts on animation and childhood to politics, nature vs man etc. It's just an extremely personal, intimate book. It's fascinating to put yourself into the headspace of a man as interesting and...

A good topic to discuss. Sure, the combat AI routines are peanuts compared to the requirements of graphics processing but when I think of "Super AI", I'm thinking of the limitless potential that the field has yet untapped. Think of an open world game where every single NPC has dynamic...

I give up on a game if it feels like it has nothing to offer me. If it's not innovative and derivative, at least the gameplay must be enjoyable. Or if the story has potential, I'll slog through. I will also stick through huge initial hurdles if I read online that a game has much to offer after...

While I haven't played Persona 3 FES, I wouldn't say that the sound quality in P3P is bad. It might be less good, but it's not like it sounds flat or tinny. The PSP's sound quality is just fine. I never had anything to complain about. Of course, headphones are always recommended. As to the...

Yeah the 3DS main problem could be the region locking situation. I'd need to look into that more deeply. As to your concern re: asking internet people, I've been planning on getting a Vita (mainly thanks to Persona 4. It seems to be one of the best JRPGs of its generation). But I can't see much...

@Neronium Ok that was very informative. Didn't expect Nintendo wouldn't allow 3DS users to buy and download DS games on their eShop. Also region lock might be an issue. Mongolia is very low profile for the gaming companies and sometimes is overlooked. It was a problem when I bought Starcraft...

So I'm primarily a PC Gamer, but I also bought a PSP towards the end of its lifecycle in 2010. I really like my PSP because it reignited my love for JRPGs. It's the perfect type of game to play on a handheld. My favorites were Persona 3 Portable, Tactics Ogre but I also got into Final Fantasy...

I supported Broken Age because I've played almost all LucasArts point and click adventures. Grim Fandango is one of my favorite games of all time. I enjoy Tim Schafers sense of humor, and I was one of the people who have been lamenting the fact that Double Fine never made a proper adventure. So...

So I picked up Fez with the new Humble Indie Bundle and lo and behold, it's a magnificent game! Then I got thinking about how awesome it would have been had I not known anything at all about the game beforehand. If I had been unaware that this was actually a 3D game until the reveal with the...

I wrote a whole blog post about the things talked about in the article. It's basically that digital goods aren't the problem, it's that our economic system tries to monetize something that is abundantly available to everyone through piracy. If the clouds dies and your entire gaming library with...

I'd be interested, of course. I played the games back in the day, beat the first one, and spent ages in chapter 2 of the second. Seriously, after moving on from chapter 2, it always felt like I missed out on something... The Baldur's Gate games are some of my most cherished RPG experiences...

So both games are currently available on sale. War of the Roses is 55% off on Paradox's own new store, and Chivalry has a free weekend and 50% off. Chivalry is minimally cheaper but both are at about the same price (~13-15 bucks). I enjoy the combat in Mount and Blade Warband immensely...
