I've thought about this before - how the scope of a game interacts with its accomplishments - and I've still not got something I'm happy with. This is mostly because I am someone who calls for both excellent design and a well constructed narrative for a game to be considered good in my eyes, no...

There are two sides of the coin when it comes to grinding, in my opinion. First, there is the more conventional form of grinding - the stuff you find in RPGs more often that not, where you need to grind to increase stats to continue the game. Second, there is 'grinding for mastery', essentially...

I think I can give some ideas in regards to this, being a game designer who is working on a bullet hell. The difference between say, Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu and say, Super Meat Boy, is that SMB actively tells you how to do the base things you need to do to progress. It introduces elements over...

At least it won't end up as badly as if humans were to be in charge of the nuclear weapons. I shudder to think! OT: Yeah, this is fairly inconsequential, given that computers are in charge of innumerable critical systems that our societies run on. Unfortunately, I cannot think of any good...

Fair enough. I personally think that we should never presume malice when discussing these things, but it happened, regardless, even when I openly expressed how I was simply housing the other argument, which could have been a benefit in the long run. (This isn't targeted at you, OP, I...

Glad we're treating the issue with weight, :P I know you won't change your mind, but I do believe that the issues you're presenting are based on misconceptions, given that a: you're using the internet, that's all you need to be technologically-savvy enough to set up a PC, and b: the space you...

...I'm sorry, but I have to engage in the obligatory 'pc gamz' post. I was pulling myself away from this thread thinking 'no, don't bother making the PC gaming point, his/her mind's probably already made up' - but I think the point is worth making. Especially in your situation where you want...

I'm always loath to engage in such discussions as these, but this is, quite simply, absolute next-level bullshit. If they truly wanted to go all the way with the aesthetic, to truly make the art they apparently wanted to make, then they should have simply locked it at 24 FPS and got the look...

FPS. My first ever FPS was Quake 2. Looking back, I really want to hate it... but I can't. It's just too fun; one would think the aesthetic would tip you off that it's a space marine jamboree but it comes nothing close 'cause of how fast paced it is - the only cover I use is the cover of two...

I particularly like the title the reporter has given it - apparently, he bit his member like a sandwich. Tasty. (I'm sorry for that comment and feel dirty)

Being a fan of Touhou *without* being some kind of Japanese-export lover. As in, 'no, I haven't played Shin Megami Tensei for fucks sake'. The closest I've got to any other kind of Japanese product is DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu, and that's only cause it's available on the EU Amazon store.

Greenlight isn't a quality checking tool. It's a popularity checking tool. You can't just assume that releasing Ikaruga on Steam will make Tresure money - hence why the question asked to people in Greenlight is 'Would you buy this game if it were available on Steam?'. It's a tool to check...

This hype train, man. It's like that one scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Except drawn out to a ridiculous length so that everyone feels drained before the scene's even over.

No. It's not like every single developer ever is going to force people to go multiplayer. Personally, I'm very skeptical of GTAO, but hey, I don't care about GTAV and don't get why it'd ever be considered game of the year, so eh.

Lol. Just... lol. I barely want to contribute to this thread, but watching the OP's responses makes me want to wait for when he says 'reviews should be objective' so I can go in for the killing blow. (I jest, honest(don't kill me pls)) Seriously though, it's Greg's opinion. You could say 'how...
