    Diablo 3 RoS on consoles... Are you enjoying it?

    Yes. It's not instant, the nemesis will pop up after a period of time. Also it can pop up against whoever it killed rather than going to a friends game. Each player they defeat will make them stronger. If they defeat about 5-6 players they'll disappear forever. Otherwise it'd just get...

    The Stealth Release of Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney

    I knew about it, but I'm also the guy who walked miles (as in distance, edgeworth isn't my pet or something) on the day Ace Attorney 3 came out to pick up my copy before the Phoenix keychain plushies ran out.

    Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition Review - A Reaper Hit

    The light from the DS4 is actually different for each player, 1-4. Small little QOL thing.

    Why can't we do the little things: A thread about videogame stories

    1. There is nothing mundane about what happens in The Crucible, To Kill a Mockingbird, or The Great Gatsby. All of these books display dark extremes. 2. Stories are about conflict. Games are about gameplay. The overlap is the places where conflict can be systematized.

    Of Three Types of Game Developers, Two Are Going Extinct

    Even if it's coming from the little guy, this is basically advertising masquerading as an article. There's something offensive about seeing this presented as if it were journalism. If The Escapist is going to run this sort of material, why doesn't it open an Op. Ed section? That's where...

    Zavvi Sent Free Vitas By Mistake, Threatens Legal Action

    There's something very upsetting about the idea of someone just derping along, minding their own business, and then end up being threatened with legal action because something was mailed to them. No one stole these things.

    Bioshock Infinite vs 1 and 2

    I know I'm not the person you posed the question to, but it's about Redemption. With a capital R.

    Do gamers have the balls to force a crash???

    I think we could win the war against microtransanctions without a crash. We'd be much better off buying the hell out of games that don't use them than impossibly banding together and not buying games at all. Also, as noted, the latter option is impossible.

    Is Video Gaming Art

    Video gaming? Like, the act of playing a video game? I find that you have accidentally raised a far more interesting question than the long solved issue you meant to raise.

    How DLC changed my gaming habits

    It's not really ironic. People have been predicting this for years. The question is, are they losing more than they're gaining? That's hard to know. There's people like you waiting for GOTY editions, but theres also people rushing to buy say, BF4 and its $50 season pass at launch. While...

    Man Throws Away $7.2 Million Bitcoin Stash, Now Buried In Landfill

    Um, yes it is. Randomly suggesting conspiracies for plausible stories is how crazy works. The immense and so obvious that it's difficult to be kind about it difference between this and "girlfriend in Canada" is that losing $7M doesn't in any way come across as an attempt to be cool.

    Jimquisition: Who "Won" The Next-Gen Launch?

    At present I can name a grand title of one Wii U game that I really want. (3D World) There should be more at this point in the consoles life. I can name two PS4 games that I really want that aren't last gen re releases. (Killzone and Resogun) I feel that's an acceptable amount at this...

    "Stop trying to make it a thing!"

    No. Just no. The original concept of the Friendzone did NOT vilify anyone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pnMWvbFpS8 This is where it comes from. Watch the damn clip and make some attempt to understand the history rather than just sit around judging. Joey is offering sympathy and...

    Undue Entitlement: A Growing Issue?

    Yeah, it's not like the fans explained in great detail how ME3 was the exact opposite of a number of specific promises made by the designers. No, the reality is that ME3 was made in a vacuum, no promises were made to the fans, and so the game could be whatever it wanted. And then that...

    Rhode Island Senator Pushes For Independent 38 Studios Inquiry

    So, what's really happening is that some jackass wants the state of Rhode Island to throw even MORE into money into this particular blackhole so that he can find a scapegoat and advance his political career. It happened. The taxpayers of Rhode Island got screwed. Screwing them further isn't...
