    Star Wars Battlefront: UPDATE 2: The Missing Content Strikes Back.

    I've said it in my head when I heard it announced, now it is revealed I'll says it on the Internet: No galactic conquest, no buy. And without space battles, prospects of galactic conquest is low. No buy until I see otherwise. I already have battlefield. Dunno what they were...

    Visual Novels; their place in the gaming world?

    Interactive mediums don't need to have game mechanics. Is a medium. There is no reason you gotta have game mechanics to have interactivity. Interactive/visual novels really just seem like a evolution of the choose your own adventure story. How interactive a story heavy game might get is...

    Poll: Gay Gamers - What do you want?

    I don't know where to find more reliable sources. It was a poorly worded argument, I more or less was arguing against quotas because adhering to quotas that correlate to the real world doesn't make sense in a video game setting where the people may be very different in terms of demographic...

    Poll: Gay Gamers - What do you want?

    True, the statistic I linked on second look do not reflect video game demographics, however I was unable to find any recent demographics relating to LGBT and video games. I found a interesting bell curve statistic back in 2006, but seeing how radical the change in game demographics have been...

    Poll: Gay Gamers - What do you want?

    Can't say much on the topic due to being heterosexual [so I will not vote], however I will note LGBT individuals are really a small minority: http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/research/census-lgbt-demographics-studies/how-many-people-are-lesbian-gay-bisexual-and-transgender/ So in...

    Should Diversity be an Obligation in Game Design?

    There is no obligation on the part of game developers to make games that are diverse in terms of ethnic, sexuality, gender, hair style, eye color, religion, personality disorder and so on. However it is often recommended to make characters easier to distinguish, too many people who look the...

    Here we go again: Anita Sarkeesian and the gaming community

    Regardless of the validity seeing if call of duty apparently has consultants from the special forces and how much of a fantasy game call of duty is I don't believe mirror's edge 2 would be affected much by having anita give her opinion directly as a consultant.

    2014 - The Most Disappointing Year for Games

    I didn't buy any games other than some PC games, most of which didn't come from 2014 and one of which had a mentally deficient game developer (Yes I did buy paranautical activity since a friend recommended it]. X box one just isn't worth it. Master chief can't hold up a entire console...

    Name something(s) you're concerned about with the games you're most excited for

    I'm concerned that Destiny won't make the ridiculous sales margin Activision gave it. 700$ million for a game is just insane, especially for a new IP. I'm also a wee bit concerned that the lore won't be that good for the game. Maybe it's since i'm more 90's space action thriller or golden...

    Star Trek's Prime Directive and the Fermi Paradox

    I believe alien life (strange critters everywhere) is common, but life like ourselves is extremely rare. However, I do not believe interstellar species could possibly exist since almost anything is possible, insanely huge distances be damned. So it's hard for me to imagine interstellar travel...

    Poll: Is sound important in games?

    Very important, sound gives immersion to the setting and the music can hep set up the atmosphere very well. There's multiple examples of games and movies that have, do to a good music track become very popular. The remake or Tron and Halo are good examples of this.

    Has a licensed GW game ever got the aesthetic right?

    40K is a dark space fantasy isn't it? If so I think the games got it right. I found Space Marine to get down the whole evil space fantasy thing well. Although I only liked looking at the wiki fluff, never actually went to games workshop to buy the toys. You can cross over anything...
