Just get a load of ZHP:

So, all the good shit only happened if Link failed in Ocarina of Time. Well that's a depressing thought. Someone axe the Hero of Time, quick!

From "The Bard's Tale?" That's actually an excellent suggestion. I can't believe it didn't cross my mind. I still haven't finished The Witcher 2, I'll need to re-visit it. Another one I just thought of, can't believe it didn't occur to me either--Ezio, Assassin's Creed 2. He's the very...

I'm looking for some games where the player character is of a decidedly scoundrel-ish nature; taking the Han Solo path over the usual Luke Skywalker, if that makes sense. Someone who's in business for themselves more than for others. I can think of a couple: Devil May Cry and Privateer. I...

Eh, I'd say wait on it. Skyward Sword is a very refreshing game that showcases some of the best base mechanics the 3D Zeldas have ever seen, but it's also rife with padding and has the landmark worst level design in the series, as if the designers didn't know what they wanted to do with the...

Mega Man X3 and Mega Man Zero 3, Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Metal Gear Solid 3, Grand Theft Auto 3, Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, Super Mario Bros. 3, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Persona 3... To sum up: Yeah, plenty. Usually the third game is actually where the...

Yeeeeeeaaaah. That seemed more like a slightly impish PSA speaking out against World of Warcraft than an ad. She doesn't sound like she's all that into the game, just that she's playing it out of spite; the guy sounds like a dumbass; and there's no selling points about the game itself. I get...

Hornets. Everything about them is terrifying. The aggressive shape, the venomous coloring, the angry eyes, even the name "hornet" sounds like it's going to sting. I'm scared of every kind of bee and bee-like creature on this planet, but hornets are the most horrifying. ... Oh, right...

Either that or the cannon ball was manufactured by the same folks who made the magic bullet that shot JFK.

Actually, the reason for the linearity is that FF13 was built in roughly six months and the developers were making up the story and mechanics as they went along in a mad rush to get it built. You think I'm joking, but this shit's in the post-mortem for the game. For the first several years...

Fuck yeah, man! You said it right! As far as I see it Sonic's been doing fine but for a couple of bump-in-the-road generational transition titles (Shadow, 2006, Secret Rings/Black Knight), but overall we've gotten some pretty decent games. Unleashed didn't suck, neither did Colors, and neither...

It's about damned time. Kids don't have enough decent games to play these days, and frankly I always liked the ones aimed towards younger demographics better. Give me color, spirit, and humor over something with a stick up its rear end any day. I can do with a few less Uncharteds, Mass Effects...

... It's a game. Geneva conventions don't really have a place in it. DIGITAL CONSTRUCTS do not have rights, feelings, and are not in fact people. I'd like to say I get where they're coming from with this, trying to promote awareness and whatnot, and I'd be more than happy to see a military game...

No they're not, they just test a lot. That shit from Portal about testing is actually a whole pile of company in-jokes about how much they depend on testing. Basically, this is the Valve process: Find a product that already works Test it Decide it's stagnant and unoriginal, change...

NAAAAW, I wonder why he'd cheat on a winner like her! What a special snowflake of a gal that one is, clearly she deserves better. Think the thread's gotten a bit carried away with the "gender equality" discussion. This is clearly a case of a couple of incredibly stupid people a few standard...
