Good catch. Despite the titles of this news story and the title of the Gamespot interview, he didn't actually say that there would be no micro-transactions in the game. He just said that they weren't "part of the core design," which basically translates to Battlefront not being designed as a...

I'm sure we can find an almost exact replica of this story and statement from DICE from about a year ago talking about how Battlefield 4's launch wouldn't have the same problems that Battlefield 3 had. Probably on this website too. I guess the statement was correct though, BF4 did not have...

Reminds me of Mass Effect 3's multiplayer, where like Sotanaht (post 4) noted above with Dark Souls 2, much of the game's logic was tied to the framerate. In ME3, the most Massive Effect of this was the enemy targeting and firing. The console version's 30 fps delivered enemies that were a lot...

I would love to replay both games before DA:I, but I don't think I have that kind of time. I would like to know more about when that Keep thing is launching. I think launching before Inquisition and making sure everyone who buys it or is thinking about buying it knows what it is will be...

My first thoughts and only thoughts so far are that I love the ability to turn off the Advanced Edition content is you don't feel like playing with it. I'm still exploring all that new content and I've loved what I've seen so far, but the option is nice. Plenty of games are changed forever by...

The publisher's cut is and should get little play because this system is an action by Microsoft. And they're not doing it out of the goodness of their own hearts either, Microsoft is making sure they're getting paid too. Publishers have been annoyed with things consoles force on them like...

Thanks for finding that. Although the discussion is going a different way in this thread due to that misconception/misquote, the reality suggested by your find might be even more damaging. If the discount is true it's obviously not much better than buying a game new or waiting for a sale (which...

The insane thing is that I can actually see this kind of system working. Most game buyers will never know this kind of a system is in place. If the people who want to and are allowed to sell a game or buy a used game, they will. They'll be mostly unaware of the retailer getting shafted in the...

A shame, Section 8 and its sequel still rank as some of my favorite game play ever. All the stuff in that game, and even more in its cheaper sequel, and still nobody bought it. I hate it when a developer makes a good game that sells poorly because it's name wasn't big enough or it couldn't find...

A one liter bottle of Vintage Seltzer. I drink it room temperature.

Endings are extremely difficult to do "correctly." Endings and people's perception of them are a subjective thing. Everybody tries to do them and so many fail that I can't ever blame anyone for flubbing an ending. It's the hardest part of a story to do.

Even with all the hate, in fact, especially because of all the hate and whining and moaning, Mass Effect 3 can only be game of the year, regardless of what anyone individually thought about it. No other game this year prompted quite the level of response that Me3 did, it was raging through...

Time to cancel my plans for February 4th. And 5th, and 6th, and... let's just write-off the whole week's worth of free time while we're here.

Dahl. Because real men use burst fire sniper rifles. I don't care if it's horribly inefficient. I prefer it that way. Nothing soothes the soul like a gun with an eight round magazine that fires a five round burst.

Only the truth will set you free. But seriously, these kind of abstract things are pretty pointless. There is no context. Context is everything. Context is the real world. Leave abstract to the classroom.
