I like to think that, as a Canadian, we have a bit of a pass with ****. Or, at the very least, no one has stopped me when I've said **** before, and there's no way I'm stopping now

So me saying From Software is more used to programming their games at 30fps as opposed to 60fps is me saying 30fps is a good thing? Interesting. The point I was making wasn't "See! This is why 30fps is always better!" And rather me just pointing out that From has traditionally programmed the...

Honestly depends on the type of action game you're going for. If you're trying to be very frenetic or you're trying to achieve a very fast-paced tone, 60fps is usually the way to go. Anything slower will simply make the game feel to bogged down. Conversely, if you're trying to instill a sense of...

Honestly, the game tried to do too much at once. The Arkham style combat was rather boring, the altering of combos was too simplistic, the platforming was uninteresting, and the memory sequences were barely in the game. Honestly, either DONTNOD should have focused purely on combat and ignore the...

...you know, it's hard for me to take any article seriously once they use the term "male tears" in an unironic way. It doesn't help that said article makes a big deal out of something that, outside of one Escapist thread on the matter, I have not seen anywhere. Even then the issue wasn't "MY...

Honestly, I never really got the complaints about the violence. Considering the story of Infinite and Booker as a character, violence seems like a perfect fit actually. I've always suspected that when people touted that the game suffered from "ludonarrative dissonance" that they either a) just...

...so if the writer is making the argument that other Let's Players and journalists hate PewDiePie out of jealousy, then why exactly would regular gamers also express hatred towards him? I doubt it's just out of jealousy. At a certain point, there's such a thing as over analysing a subject. Yes...

I think canceled is already use d to identify projects that the creator themselves has ended. Besides, while cancelled can be ambiguous in terms of "who cancelled the project", suspended implies a decision from high up, which better suggests who was behind the project ending

Maybe it's because I was never a Turtles fan.....this trailer doesn't actually look too bad. Am I going to rush to see the movie? No. Does it look silly. Yeah. But you know what, It definitely does not look as awful as many people are saying it is.

During the day it's fine...it's more at night you have to be a bit more cautious. Or, at the very least, I find it's at night when the park there gets super sketchy

I actually saw some of those recently when I was out with friends. However, I've only seen them near the Kensington Market area. Then again, if there is any area that would need Neighbourhood Watch protection, it would be Kensington Market

If I remember correctly, the story behind James' voice actor was that he wasn't originally meant to voice him. The guy that voiced him was this American businessman in Japan who took his daughter over to audition for the role of Laura, and while there the developers asked him to read some lines...

Speaking as a fat man, I don't get the whole fat acceptance movement. I don't think a person should necessarily be bullied or ostracised for being overweight, as no one really deserves to be treated that way. Further, I personally am not ashamed of myself or my body. Would I prefer to be a...

I'm not a big fan of the trend myself, because in many ways it just makes the game less scary for me. After a while, I stop thinking "Oh my gawds, a monster! Bu-bu-bu-but I can't kill it!" and more "Oh fuck, more of you? Ugh, let's get this over with. Yeah, yeah, BOO and all that, I'll run this...

I'm having a hard time understanding your issue. All AI, by virtue of being in a game, is going to be robotic. Even "adaptive" AIs are merely working on pre-determined movements and reactions. The only way to get something truly adaptive and unique is to play online, since technically players...
