Nice move, putting GOT on the same place as LOTOR by using slightly relevant comparings.

Agree with Jaffe. Industry is already loosing complexity of game mechanics due desire to mass-appeal. Take into considiration that resources are limited. So, if you want more "arty" games, be ready to market flood with Heavy Rain 2-3-4-5 and so on, more The Path "games", more scripted FPS...

Yes it does, that dude and everybody in the bus would be dead or heavily injured.

Second example. As sculptor can take a stone and create a believable and recognizable face of person that you know, depicting certaine emotion on his face, without recreating every single possible detail of real face; game programmer can create believable behaviour for a flock of deer, put them...

That bold dude looks somewhat like Putin :)

You know, I think you right, maybe that was a bad reference to RL but when I gave it a second thought, I've realized that MMO can have both, perma death and "easy" death at the same time. Good exmaple is old SW Galaxies (before that Sony crazy rehauling was made), everybody plays "easy" death...

With all do respect, but did you experienced situations when morale of people around leader has droped cause leader just died (real morale)? What about people routing cause they know if they die they need to re-roll char? How powerfull resurection spell become when it's not just avoid 2minutes...

Recently played Adventure mode of Dwarf Fortress and got huge amount of fun. Game is featuring permanent death (unless you cheating with savegames) so you might spend several days of your RL on journey and then get killed by a single stab into your head. It might sounds horrible at first and you...

BTw, DICE already made a game that is a blend between BF and COD, it's a last Medal of Honor. Sometime it looks to me as an uglier brother of BC2 as even GUI was copy\pasted from it.

As much as a lot similarities with other fps games, it's not just about COD and BF, other fps games are using same templates too, not because it was used in COD but because players liked it.

Maybe this kind of controversy was the only reason why emblem editor was added in game at first place. Just to get more attention two weeks after game sales started. Cheap PR as always, didn't expected anything different from activision anyway.

This. And take into account that even experts on Japan history has a little knowledge about Ninjas and what they used. Polularization by a western movies of 80's don't make them any special to oriental culture nor to the development of their civilization. Who cares how they are called if...

I think we have "souls" but they are tightly knoted to our body (neurological network) on our birth. Later in life as one raises his consciousness level he becomes more aware of neurological behavior patterns and can abstagate from them. Just in theory, enlightment is the topest level of...

It slowly becomes a norm. Take a look at Bad Company 2 for example, single player and multiplayer are two almost completely different games, that just use the same engine. Playing only one of them dosn't give that much of experience that you will get from other. SP in BC2 is really lame, but MP...
