Wait VIII was on the PC? Was it any good or...?

So his enemies somehow become inhuman or non-human because of their motives? He's still killing hundreds of people. Why can't he just incapacitate them? It makes him just as bad as them if he kills them.

Drake is so righteous that he's allowed to kill them? You've gotta get this eye for an eye idea out of your head. No one actually has the right to kill another person- that's an illusion ideologues like to spread. You shouldn't see these heroes somehow...

Square-Enix are in on that one too.

In the middle of a masters degree and a dissertation. I really don't have time, but hopefully I'll be able to get one soon. In the meantime I'm perfectly willing to accept that I probably won't be able to buy a Ps4 until long after it's been released, I'm not desperate. All I'm really saying is that it seems like a bad idea to release an inferior version of such a hyped game into which went a hell of a lot of work. How many people would just buy the Ps3 version bec...

I can see them releasing it on the Ps3 and Ps4, which would be annoying. I'd be able to afford TLG, but I'd imagine TLG AND a Ps4 would set me back a bit (I'm definitely not going to get a Ps4 until at least a year after it's released, unless I get a job), and I wouldn't want to feel short-changed by buying the Ps3 version. They should just release it on the Ps3.

Perhaps Mr.Ueda's perfectionism has made the game a development nightmare?

Gears of War? Yes.
Portal? No.
Resistance? Last I checked that game's actually sort of underrated, or it at least falls under a lot of people's radars.
Mass Effect? A little.
Uncharted? Hmmm, yeah I kind of think so. Not a bad game, but definitely overrated.

Killzone is overrated, as is Fallout 3, Crysis, and Halo (good god Halo is overrated.) Oh and also Infamous.

That's just the kind of prejudicial treatment that breeds things like this. Mentally unstable people feel oppressed by their society and lash out. You have to help them, accommodate them, support them. All you're doing is perpetuating it- aggressively denouncing all who don't fit within your cosy world-view- building an exclusionary narrative to explain away their behaviour. You don't even do it yourself, you've recieved these ideas and opinions from the media and are now ...

Jesus christ. While I personally believe a game like CoD contributes to an ambient culture of fetishized violence and acts as an entertaining, distancing mechanism from the reality of violence, this instance clearly, like most things like this, has many other components- social, cultural, and psychological.

He craved the entertaining violence of the game, but he also craved social acceptance- CoD is a mainstream game, millions play it. Playing it therefore initiates him into ...

Freud's ideas just struck a chord with people because of how coherent a NARRATIVE they made, not because of how accurately they described reality. Think of it like writing a story and getting carried away writing mythologies and character backgrounds and other voluminous details. It's like writing an alternate VERSION of the world you actually live in. The fact of the matter is that the mind is far more complex than a psychoanalyst would allow. You can't reduce everything to sexua...

It's funny because of how well disguised as a genuine news article it is, while at the same time it's totally ludicrous.

It's going to be Molyneux Meatspin, followed by the injection of a phone bricking virus that propagates across all your contacts and all their contacts until all phones are bricked.

He's been speaking a bit more sense recently I have to concede. Still sort of sour about him using Kickstarter though.

I love their attitude. For them it's just about immersing yourself in a beautiful game world- soaking it up. It's not about constant action and constant reward- just your own personal meaning creation and experience. As well as appeciating the world as it is in all it's mystery.

I'd love a game in which you were just plonked in a world to explore it and gradually uncover it's many mysteries. Fetishized violence wouldn't be necessary, just a really spir...

I pirate the heck out of old games. I think once a console's hit the end of it's cycle, there's no reason not to pirate it's games.

Funny though, America was basically settled by use of a disguised piracy, and yet we loathe it in all it's forms. Good little consumers aren't we?

He sounded like he was making so much of those Godus features up as the guy asked questions haha

Actually I think he made a good point about the Kinect (and by extension the Move and all that). People expect immediate gratification, but humans aren't machines, it's difficult to be creative when you're harried by deadlines and budgets. You can't expect developers to get the absolute most out of the Kinect and Move technology as soon as it comes out, and doomin...

Well, at least the Ps4 will provide more unique games. Seriously, the next Xbox is becoming more and more of a capitalist's wetdream everyday, not one thing to do with it seems conducive to providing unique and enriching entertainment experiences. Nah, I really think Sony have got the right idea this time around. Like, they seem to be doing everything right in my book.

It'd look a hell of a lot better if the edges of the televisiona and the furniture weren't so obvious. It's really distracting. In fact, overall, this just looks really distracting.
