    Why Is Every AAA Game Hero Suddenly Your Dad?

    I think you are totally missing my point. I am not defending the argument at hand. I am just trying to point out how pointless it is to get indignant about. Do I think think all opinions and theories are "valid" nowadays? I guess it's hard to see why random dinky people saying random dinky...

    Why Is Every AAA Game Hero Suddenly Your Dad?

    Geez, you seem really angry about this. It's not like it really means much in the end. Let's just assume for a moment that there is a particular trend in AAA games revolving around the "dad figure" right now. And lets also assume it's a refection of the audience the games are marketed to. So...

    Undertale May Be This Year's Best Written Game

    Really my only problem with Undertale is that the ACT system is very contextual. I think it would have been a lot more fun if you are given a gradually expanding list of options that you could choose from in every encounter, like a skill system or something. I also kinda think it would be better...

    The Super Mario Apocalypse Will Never Arrive

    The thing is, fans have been one upping Nintendo at there own game for years, through romhacking, though fangames, even though entirely new games based on similar ideas. That doesn't make Super Mario Maker pointless or anything, there will always be an advantage to creating a big tool kit and...

    Upon The Mary Sue Character in Video Games

    Honestly, though it might earn me some weird looks to say this, I kinda like Freedom Planet's characters. At least the main ones. I would never really say the story was all that good or the characters all that developed, but most of it boiled down to cute girls doing cute things to me. I can...

    Pondering Adventure Games and Gameplay in Modern Gaming

    I tend to think that games make a poor storytelling medium in general. Not that there aren't games with good stories, it's just that there are so many nagging annoyances that keep games from really being an ideal storytelling medium. They are really good at building world to explore and interact...

    Will Half-Life 3 Outlive Public Interest Because of Development Time?

    Comparing TF2 and HL3 doesn't make much sense to me. I mean, correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think the original Team Fortress had millions and millions of fans waiting for years of disappointment, latching on to any possible hope of a squeal that may appear, hyping it up until one of the...

    Alternatives to the Glut of Metroidvania-Style Platformers

    A reverse metroidvania probably wouldn't be that farfetched really. It could start with the player having all sorts of powerups and lots of health as well as a very detailed in-game map that showed the whole world. The challenge would be more about planning routes and doing tasks in the order...

    Taking On Remastered Games And The Effects of Nostalgia

    I don't think it really matters very much. There are good remasters and bad ones, just like there are good and bad games. And just like other games, if a game offerers you a kind of experience you have in a game you own already you are going to be less enthusiastic about playing it unless you...

    The Talos Principle Comes Out of The Myst and Through a Portal

    THANK YOU to Yahtzee for at least acknowledging "pretentious" as overused and having lost most of it's meaning. At least he took the time to actually define it properly and explain what he meant by using the word, because it seems so many critics refuse to do that. Labeling something you don't...

    The Big Picture: Dinosaur Exodus

    To me it's kind of a moot point if dinosaurs are feathered or not in popular media, because as far as I am concerned, the popular image of dinosaurs is not real and never really was. I heard once that Cyclops were actually thought up based on elephant skulls. People never saw and elephant...

    The Theory That Will Tie All Video Game Stories Together

    I don't see why some future game thing could not made used Red explicitly and reference other games without actually naming particular names or anything. There are a lot of stuff you could do with the idea without explicitly using copyrighted stuff I think.

    Sacred 3: If Someone Asks If You Are a God, You Say Yes!

    Not to be an advocate for any religion or anything, but I have to ask: Why it would be impossible for a god-like being to love humans? I don't think it's impossible for say, a human to love ants, or even an individual ant. Weird, and maybe difficult, but not impossible. Plus one of the only...

    Jimquisition: Batman Is Everything Wrong With Square Enix

    You know shockingly enough, I watched the video and it took me a whole to realize I actually disagreed with it. It's so easy to make fun of belts and spikes and needlessly overdesigned complected elements in Square Enix's games, but really stopping to think about the arguments about it the basic...

    Extra Punctuation: Sidequests Good and Bad

    I personally think quests/missions, side and main, are tedious busywork that gets in the way rather then enhances. I would sooner they be replaced with events, which work like Yahtzee describes the random ambushes and such in Red Dead: Redemption, only I think more or less ALL quests/missions...
