    Poll: Anyone here thinking about a career in gaming?

    Personally, I'm getting a 3-year 3D modelling and Animation degree. Hoping to do games, but I could do movies or advertising if I was desperate enough. I hear modelers make fruit rinds, but I'd much rather do that than anything else in the pipeline... I guess *everyone* would rather do that...

    Your favourite cutscene?

    A lot of gems from Metal Gear. Overall I'd say the first fight between Vamp and Raiden in MGS4 is my favorite cutscene of all time, it's got probably the most interesting fight scene choreography I've ever seen and I love the way it makes such a point of straddling the line between realism and...

    The "little things" that you are a sucker for.

    being able to finish the game without ever killing anyone reversible covers the second analog stick being used for something besides camera control (dodging in godhand, for example) excessive alternate costumes and weapons multiplayer that practically encourages fucking around and...

    Metal Gear Rising demo

    forward+x+square = forward dodge left/right+x+square = side dodge x+square = back dodge Best situation for this is while you're locked on one enemy and another enemy gets behind or beside you. It can definitely evade attacks too, but it's like, why not just parry?

    Japanese games and race

    I think you're basically just picking and choosing to make your point, OP. There's plenty of japanese games where the characters have pronounced ethnicities; Yakuza and Metal Gear as a few examples. Most of your examples use a psuedo-anime style instead of photorealism and anime is always very...

    Japanese games and race

    All the characters look japanese with the exception of the last character in that Phoenix Wright poster, I'd guess he's german or something. Think the OP is basing his understanding of what asian people look like on this dude [http://gothamist.com/attachments/jen/2011_07_breaktiff.jpg].

    I need to pay attention to more Japanese releases.

    yeah nah sorry but you didn't make your character wrong, you're just not confident enough. Don't be intimidated by the hype, you can easily beat Dark Souls with the standard armor, weapons and stats of any starter class. There were a few ways to make the game easier than it's supposed to be...

    Everyones thoughts on the new "Metal gear" game

    As a Platinum fan: The MGR:R demo alone, not the whole game, JUST THE DEMO, was the most fun I've had with a game since God Hand. The demo for Rising is more enjoyable to me than any game that's been released in the last six years. So, uhh. As a KojiPro fan: My main concerns were an...

    I need to pay attention to more Japanese releases.

    I don't recommend importing because once you start YOU'LL NEVER STOP. Sure, it starts out innocent with Jump Super Stars. Then you GOTTA get the sequel, Jump Ultimate Stars! It wouldn't hurt to import Mother 3, you loved Earthbound after all... Pretty soon you're dropping 500 bucks a year just...

    Your Personal Most Played Game

    I'm not going to count TF2 because most of my 500 hours are from idling, so with that I'd say my most clocked-in game would probably be either MGS4 (speed-running and MGO item/skill grinding), MGS:PW (so much side content drive a brotha up a wall) or Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. (mad chao breeding...

    Why do you hate Gamestop?

    Hey guys, I've been lurking here awhile but this topic made me want to post something. I've been working there for a little over a year: Gamestop uses statistic from used sales, pre-orders, Pro cards, store warranties and iDevice/Tablet sales to measure employee performance. Nobody ever gets...
