    The Morality System in Games Has Outlived Its Usefulness

    Oh god, no. That would be a horrible morality system. Sure, make being evil easier, but don't make being good just a pain in the butt. If you save people they should be grateful. Maybe the boss has more HP, or you have to avoid taking advantage of him when you could attack him through some...

    Dragon Quest X Tanks On Wii U

    Square, stop making MMOs. FFIX was somehow good from what I have heard, but FFIV was a train wreck beyond recovery and this is just a sign you guys should not try it anymore.

    Terraria Goes to Consoles, PC Gamers Go Nuts

    the annoying thing is that it is a big announcement for an indie game. That means the only people listening are people who own it. People who would have liked more content perhaps.

    Molyneux's Curiosity Delayed

    They kind of need to put some sub goals in the thing if they want to get people to keep throwing money at this.

    Trailers: Europa Universalis IV - Announcement Trailer

    it is the announcement trailer mind you, this is basically to say "EU 4, that is going to happen, probably." I doubt they even have much information to give out yet at this stage. Still, EU is good fun and I hope they keep expanding on it.

    Warner Bros Courting Ben Affleck to Direct Justice League

    So wait, Marvel gets long time awesome and universally beloved Whedon to make their continuity combining piece, and warner brothers and DC get a guy who has directing credits on 5 films and writing credits on 4. Okay, Affleck isn't a terrible director from what I can see, but he isn't someone...

    Escape to the Movies: Bourne Legacy

    I would like to point out that the only thing that beat Russia was Russia, so I think we just want to have that same power.

    Notch Calls Out 2K Boss Over Photorealism Comments

    I think the thing this man meant to say is that, when we have the capacity to achieve, at will, nearly any graphical effect, at least up to photo-realism, it will offer a much better palette for those who want to create emotional experiences in games. Games like Heavy Rain and LA Noir, which...

    Nintendo: 3D More Impactful on 3DS XL

    except the circle pad pro exists so it is even worse, developers get even more split since the circle pad is an accessory that many may not have or be willing to get for your game, but you have an easier time designing the game if you just require it. They already have the split, they just...

    Nintendo: 3D More Impactful on 3DS XL

    Apparently nintendo didn't want to do that because it would mean admitting it was stupid to not include in the first place. Officially, they didn't want to encourage developers requiring a second analog stick.

    Nintendo Online May Only Be Free for Casual Gamers

    I hope this means that they plan to make more DLC or something and not limiting your time you can play without a sub. vague language is vague.

    The Big Picture: Shell Shock

    Except this is Bay, so when he tries something new it is more likely to suck than not. What changes to transformers were good? It is the same problem.

    Mass Effect 3 Gets An Ending

    Bioware did say it would not be A,B or C multiple choice endings. Angry Joe has this very well searched and it is honestly a sign that they were rushed in some way, which, when combined with the responses to the effect of "we are planning to fix this" from multiple levels of the company...

    The Big Picture: Mutants and Masses

    The bigger problem with Mass Effect is that there is signs that they made the endings weaker with the full intent to release DLC as a more complete ending. This would be one of the most outrageous stunts by a developer of a so beloved property that it deserves outrage.

    Michael Bay In Final Negotiations For Next Transformers Film

    More over, why do people keep watching this stuff in theaters? Really, why? It encourages him!
