    Nintendo Likely to Go Software Only, Says Zynga Board Member

    Nintendo is highly unlikely to go software only for a long fucking time. Sony and Microsoft are more likely to go that route with their latest stream of fuck-ups but nobody gives 2 shits about either of them going software only. This idiot doesn't even have much argument for the case either...

    PS Vita 3G Parts Cost $159

    The thing is still too damn expensive and it's competing with hardware that developers already have a year of experience with.

    The Big Picture: Junk Drawer: Game On

    and I find it amusing that you are amused at Yahtzee claiming ZP's popularity owes it to comedy (a point I never disagreed with because I'm not talking about what made it popular) while completely ignoring that Yahtzee himself is saying that he wants to make a point across and then to later make...

    The Big Picture: Junk Drawer: Game On

    http://www.gamespot.com/news/6235040.html This wasn't hard. Here Yahtzee is quoted saying "I genuinely try to make valid points. When you're trying to get a point across, humor is always a good midwife, as most political cartoonists would tell you." So yes, Yahtzee wants you to take his points...

    The Big Picture: Junk Drawer: Game On

    Yahtzee is the one who keeps suggesting himself as a serious reviewer. Actually, he dislikes being called a reviewer and prefers to be called a critic. I'm less sure at what point we weren't supposed to take him seriously.

    The Big Picture: Junk Drawer: Game On

    Why is it that the movie guy on this site has more interesting (and smarter) things to say on games than Yahtzee.

    Miyamoto Muses on Life, Death, and Super Mario

    How is this saddening? When people like a game, they naturally want more of it. There's no excuse why I should have to wait 17 fucking years for a new 2d Mario platformer so talking about sequels of these franchises going on forever is uplifting.

    Miyamoto Muses on Life, Death, and Super Mario

    Not at all. Miyamoto hasn't directed a game since Ocarina of Time. Since he became a producer, there've been many skilled directors that could easily make games in his place. The sheer ignorance of this is ... actually, not surprising. When you get into game design and programming, you'll...

    Skyward Sword

    What one person says doesn't disprove my point. It's not hard to imagine people not liking Yahtzees reviews for the reason I already said in my first post (You can probably find some in this thread). For one claiming that I should use logic and counterpoints, you instead resort to simple-minded...

    Skyward Sword

    No, he isn't. That isn't something you can say he's "right" because you saw one guy say it and it's not hard to imagine that many don't like the review because of what I already said in my first post. Not everyone that dissmissed the review is a "fanboy"; it's an abstract argument but that much...

    Skyward Sword

    Yahtzee resorting to middle school antics with "if I don't gush it with praise, zelda's fanboy army will attack me" is really fucking pathetic. Use your brain for a minute. People aren't mad because you "pointed out a flaw" but because it's actually horseshit that isn't really a flaw, one you...

    Japanese Gamers Getting More Interested In Western Games

    If you say it only matters to a businessman then how was that argument the "REALLY funny one" (I'm not trying to be smart, I'm using your exact words). Also, please lose the tone. Saying shit like "I'll let you drop that like you didn't say it if you really want" just makes you look bad and...

    Zero Punctuation: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

    whoopee, another ZP of yahtzee making half-assed "criticism", what a surprise. No wonder I barely watch these anymore. I don't even have to play this game to know why this review is crappy. I bet the next extra punctuation is how he'll justify saying wind waker is better (since Wind Waker is...

    Japanese Gamers Getting More Interested In Western Games

    I don't think that's a matter of culture but what you're exposed to. To kids who grew up watching stuff like Ninja Turltes, Gargoyles, Thundercats, Nickelodeon or Toonami, that wouldn't bother them.

    Japanese Gamers Getting More Interested In Western Games

    To a businessman, that would matter. It's not even that which bothers me but the manner in which Sony's idiotic president came to that conclusion. OMG, Uncharted has a lot of pre-orders; Japanese gamer's tastes are changing.
