Agree with you completely. There will never really be a justification for tacked on multiplayer as long as tacked on multiplayer eats up valuable resources in the development cycle. Spend that time fleshing out and adding more value to the singleplayer experience. Now THERE'S a novel idea.

Does anyone else see the irony of flagging that first comment as off-topic in the comment section of an article titled..."Jessica Nigri the Cosplay Queen, what does she look for in a man?"

Digging the art style, though the environments seem really, really bland for some reason.

^Yeah, screw that show. I'm not "bro" enough to sit through all that frat BS for 2 hours. I'll get what I need off the internet.

Aw, yur welcome, friend.

Now don't take this personal, cause really truly, you're like my best bud now, but I'm totally reporting you for spam.

^ That really is the problem. I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with indie developers both big and small sharing the Kickstarter stage.

The real problem is that a bunch of these ridiculously tiny studios suddenly think that they should be collecting as much money for their games as the more established, proven development houses like Double Fine and Obsidian. They don't understand that you have to work up to that level of success, and inevitably end up...

I don't think I've ever heard the word "like" said more in a single interview.

^ Again, the melodrama.

The point of a review is to render perspective. If you want an objective article, go read a hands-on or a preview. Reviews are not for cheerleading, and this one was not even done poorly.

He clearly states his prejudices and scores the game positively IN SPITE of them, which really should point to the game's greatness more than a review full of blatant gushing.

They were doing that way before CoD existed.

It's not really an unattractive cover. It's just like everyone else has mentioned: it kind of misses the entire point of the game.

Why do American covers always have to have an angry dude with a gun on them?

Because message boards/comment sections are a cesspool of melodrama and overreaction.

It's not like this was even a bad score...like, at all.

To be fair, there's no way to get a retail Wii with BC at this point. But the lack of online capability is a bigger issue than people think because most people are thinking in terms of online gaming, which the Wii has never really excelled at. The real issue is the inability to access the eShop. That's a TON of content cut from the system's repertoire.

It's $119.99 right now for a Wii WITH wifi (and it's important to note that the main issue there is that the new system will have no access to the eShop), and both Wii Sports games. The mini is a terrible deal. It's not like the Wii was an enormous system in the first place. The thing is already tiny.

Not that I think it's necessarily a bad financial move on Nintendo's part. The people that this will appeal to are not the ones that are going to do this kin...

I just don't know why this always transforms into a feminist discussion. It's not gender-specific. Contrary to popular belief, scantily clad women are not inserted into games to exploit women. It's to try and attract a few shallow sales from their target demographic...men.

Well to start, a real indie dev should never expect to bring in the same amount of money as the bigger boys. It's just not realistic to assume that a quirky platformer or an artsy adventure game is going to attract as much attention as a new RPG from Obsidian.

Well yeah. Have you never played an mmo for a really long time and then inevitably realized you were just grinding gears the whole time? They're sort of designed that way.

Maybe she had a fine ass roommate and he totally wanted to get a Three's Company situation going on up in there.

...it's absolutely true that there's a ton of overpriced crap out there, but recommending a 2.1 system over a 7.1 system is ridiculous. I mean, you can get some great sound from a good 2.1 system, especially if you don't have the money or space to set up a 7.1 system.

But all barriers of entry aside, a 7.1 system is going to deliver the best aural experience you can get in gaming right now.

I will say that there are some brands out there in the ...

Yeah, when you actually play the game, there's a whole lot less intrigue and drama and a whole lot more genuine boredom and frustration, especially if you're not affiliated with any of the big alliances.

I honestly will never recommend the game to newcomers. That was a good year of my life I wish I could get back.

I don't agree with that at all. They make wonderful games, don't get me wrong, but there's nothing new or innovative about their games. They're just well designed evolutions of established conventions.

It's a testament to the core mechanics of all these classic franchises that most of their games still turn out great, but Nintendo hasn't been truly innovative since the N64.
