This is ridiculous. As a fighting game player, starting out with SF4 when I started out I got bodied ridiculously. I kept playing though, and eventually managed to become decent okay at the game. Not exactly tournament level but I can hold my own against or beat almost everyone I play against...

It's like saying music is dying because of cover bands. Well music hasn't gone to shit and if you think that it has then it's because you're just lazy. Also, who is truly original? All the best ideas are based off and inspired by previous ideas. This not only applies to art but to ALL things...

It's not really censorship when the developer does it... (also considering this is a mobile game I doubt the developers haven't put enough stock into the game to really care anyways) I'm not too interested in the game but to be honest I like the changed costume more, and I am someone who...

I hopped in like halfway through it. Oddly enough the thing I am most excited for now was the DLC and 200cc mode in MK8. The courses aren't really designed around it so it will give the courses a real challenge.

It's not really a big deal to be fair. Personally I prefer the option to customize your character though, and I overall find that to be better and more immersive game design. It's different though, and not exactly unfitting for Rust.

It depends really. The value of something (even money) depends on the individual. They are certainly not equal though. With both rich and poor people if you steal from them you have violated and taken away the sacrifices they've made to get where they are. Generally for rich people they've...

It's not necessarily obligation, but if a reputable critic (among consumers) wants to review a game before it comes out then denying them a review copy is anti-consumer. I assumed Jim Sterling is a reputable journalist and critic since he has worked for multiple video games websites, even if...

I don't really care how Jim feels about it, and to be honest it's not a big deal on its own. Generally though sending review copies to critics before game release not only helps the critics it helps the consumer. People who care about Sterling's opinion who are interested in the game will be...

Looking at the thread it seems to be mainly RPGs and strategy games. They tend to be the most complex games and older games don't really convey their mechanics that well unless they were very simple (like arcade games). Anyways, Planescape: Torment got me really interested in older RPGs and I...

Normally artistic vision is brought up as a result of what I like to call "reactive game design". For example, Zarya is a very typical example of reactive game design. It was reaction to potential customers who wanted a more diverse cast of characters (neutral/positive). The ME3 ending...

-Something stupid/funny is shared on the internet (originally by 4chan or ytmnd, but now reddit and youtube have a hand in it too) -Everyone laughs and jokes about said stupid thing and parodies are made (this is when the meme is born) -The owner of the original content severely regrets...

Very true. But honestly with the games that Valve have let on their Steam page, Hatred doesn't really make their store look any worse than it already is. So the question is rather, is there any benefit to Steam NOT having this game in their store? Anyways, this is probably going to be a...

In theory, having an open world is superior both aesthetically and mechanically (I find it overall more immersive) to a closed/linear world. As technology and budget improves, the advantages that linearity may bring (for example, designing an area based on what the player is most likely to do...

I quite liked Frozen myself. As a music guy I mainly watched it for the music which I found very enjoyable besides Let it Go (as someone who enjoys, yet isn't very experienced, with musical theatre). The songs are definitely what I'd call "modern Broadway", which honestly despite being cheesy is...

It's a stupid complaint because GameFreak implemented a mechanic that negates random encounters. Repels may be cumbersome, but it's a compromise. If you don't like the popup window, you can give your lead Pokemon a cleanse tag, which will reduce the encounter rate of wild pokemon. They purposely...
