A few truths of gaming? Alright:
Bioware rocks, they make the best RPGs. We all hate Ubisoft, yet will continue to buy their games because it's just so damn fun to murder our way through history.
The Fallout franchise is lovably weird, politicians will blame games for violent behavior, and I Wanna Be The Guy is impossible.
So has Michael Bay; that doesn't make either of them any good.MercurySteam said:
OT: If you buy an RPG from a studio that has an infuriating habit of releasing $400 worth of DLC before the Game of the Year/Ultimate Edition/Super Duper Extreme-o Awesome Edition comes out a year later, you may as well take that $60 and light it on fire then piss on the flames.
Giving someone enough gifts will make them want to bone you.
In any RPG, the grinding blows, but if you wanna have enough money and XP to obtain the super ultimate whammy weapon that you can use once, you gotta spend 30 hours doing other people's jobs.
Yahtzee always makes a good point.
Treyarch Call of Duty games are never as good as Infinity Ward ones.
Motion controls are useless without force feedback.
Motion controls are useless without good games to play.
Even though they shouldn't for several flowcharts worth of reasons, kids under 17 will be playing M-Rated games. And they will be annoying.
Paying for online games sucks.
Free-to-play is good (look at LOTRO).
Extra Credits is always right.
Quick Time Events suck.
Action and storytelling in games gets BETTER when people you care about are in the fight.
Chris Redfield's biceps have their own gravity.

That has a lot to do with the designs of the pokemon themselves. Whether or not storyline, characterization, game mechanics, etc have gotten better or not, the pokemon from generations 1&2 simply look like they had more thought put into them.nuba km said:
OT: -- The mysterious swordsman you meet is likely your father.
-- If you wake up in a small town in the middle of nowhere with no intentions of greatness, saddle up mate, you're going to save the world.
-- Photo-realistic graphics are no substitute for good storyline and characterization.
-- Innovation is never bad.
-- Combat has no place in survival horror.
yeah but I cant really call them out on it since the PSP is their first hand held console, maybe if the PSP 2 had 4 slightly upgraded versions, I'l come back and edit my post.MetalDooley said:

the PSP was design around style and not comfort and playing it increases your chances of getting RSI by 56.091123%...give or take
The eyes of every soldier are equipped with grenade and pain sensing technology.

Yes I do see what you are saying as well but sometime it is nice to go a bit retro every now and then.PaulH said:
Er, I sorta meant in RPG dungeons, overworld maps, and most action games. Whenever I see a branching path, left will always either take me to A) the way I needed to go, or B) the treasure I was looking for. I can't remember a game I played where that didn't happen.bojac6 said:
Red guys always means they are the enemy...Which is why people go for the Russians because they used to be communist...and the flag was red...Wait only half of that was right...Am I onto some sort of conspiracy about why Russia is often the enemy...Or just paranoid?
Game haters and fans are schizophrenic.
Real horror will never outsell cheap jump scares.
The greatest anti-gaming entity is the gaming community.

I'd like to have a word with you.
World of Warcraft will always have thousands of players.
People will complain if their game series in changed in a way they don't like.
If you are Dr. Freeman, you will be reminded continuously to reload a fresh magazine.
Everyone will call a magazine a clip.
Hiding behind cover waiting for your health to recharge is more realistic than having health packs.
America is always the good guys, and the nobel underdogs in the fight.
No matter how good a console game looks, PC is always far superior.
Nintendo will never make anything new.

I'm happy they're breaking this rule. Not only does Lara Croft now actually look like people I know, I'll also never get killed by big steel arrows through the nipples again.
There's no such thing as "too many guns".
It's a bad sign if things are "too quiet".
Contrary to common sense: following a trail of blood and bodies means you're going in the right direction.
Even though you can't talk, people will understand everything you say.

-Last boss? Pleases fool, there is yet a last last boss to defeat!
-It?s a trap and you will lose your weapons but conveniently they will be in a nice place for you to pick them up.
-Everything is trying to kill you.
-Cut scenes steel the fun that should have rightfully been yours.
-Need magic? Here have some bombs. Nearly out of arrows? Have all the pieces of currency you might ever need. Oh what is that, your purse is full? Too bad.
-It is but a flesh wound.
-Health restoring items are plentiful and sometimes floor food.
-Imposable to defeat enemies? A good possibility you?re supposed to fail, it might even just be a dream.
-Locked door in somebody?s home? Ridicules, impractical, unlocking mechanism to figure out.
-The evil villains will look unmistakably evil and villainous.
