Awesome, I hope it really does go free to play soon. It was never a game I didn't enjoy (played the open beta twice), it was just a game I couldn't see myself paying monthly for. I would have gotten the game in a heartbeat if it had a Guild Wars 2 business model. So with that, i'm hoping it...

I hate to be this cynical, because I'm usually quite positive about gaming, but I really am getting tired of hearing developers say that they have "personal issues" getting in the way of development. I had trust in that phrase when indie devs first started using it, but now it's starting to feel...

I've tried finishing Borderlands 2 twice now, but I think I've finally decided to abandon that game. I LOVE the looting, and the shooting feels great, and the environment and characters are all awesome, but the difficulty in that game is all over the place. You'll be having some good old...

I'm glad I wasn't the only one noticing that. They kept talking about "teamwork" and all the gaming outlets keep saying how great it looks, but from my perspective, I say a lot of AI companions telling the player what they could and couldn't do. "Let's be sneaky about this" and "ok take the...

Went to go see it with my girlfriend- she said it only cut out one or two inconsequential scenes from the book, and changed a line or two of dialogue. Otherwise, she was really happy with how well it represented the book. But goddamn is that a sad movie.

Dragon's Dogma is actually my all-time favorite game, so seeing that come to Pc with better resolution and a more solid framerate would be magnificent. I really do hope we see a sequel to that game that ends up coming to Pc as well.

It's weird, after I saw that trailer I actually kind of wanted to see it. Not with the intent of wanting to see how bad it is, but genuine interest in seeing how giant CGI turtles can work beating the crap out of things. If there's one thing Bay does really well, it's big destructive fights, so...

Gotta admit, that helmet flip was damn sexy. I really am looking forward to this though. I really want a good space combat / exploration game, but games like X3 are just a bit too in-depth for me, so Star Citizen looks like it's going to be a good middle ground between complexity and...

Oops, it appears I accidentally dropped my pen. *drowns in a sea of death threats* Really, is that the only way gamers can react to things nowadays? Even when GOOD things happen in the industry peoples send death threats. Thankfully, no one ever actually acts on those threats.

I hope to god this goes well for them. If there's one thing YouTube needs, it's competition so it can strive to be less shit. When a developer of their own game has their video content taken down of their game because some jackass thought it would be funny to flag it for copyright infringement...

I'll actually agree with Elate on the living story content. I'm a fan of the idea, but even at my level 80 warrior, that content is always tough as nails and it's not often I join up with any of my friends to make a group- so I end up passing on the content. But more to Elate's point, the...

That's actually totally fine. I don't want to go on Facebook on a console. In fact, I don't want to do anything except play games on my console. I would actually be so down for one of the big console manufacturers to create a "lite" version if their console that doesn't have all the apps and...

I'll admit that actually looks really great. I wish they had more customization to show off beyond just color changes, but everything looked much simpler to get around and find, and the mulitasking with the game running in the background looks nice. And i'm assuming Skype can be used as a voice...

I really liked KoA for what it did as well. Combat, as others have said, might have been a bit too easy, but it was certainly fun mixing up all the different weapon types and seeing what worked for you. I think one of the biggest things that might have turned a lot of people off was the very...

Sounds pretty cool, actually. Hopefully this will encourage developers to actually put effort into most of their achievements, rather than just "Kill X Number of Y" or "Finish the story!". Even if that means only having a handful of achievements per game. Not sure if Microsoft has said if...
