Toaster, by a large margin.
They should definitely take a page from Xenoblade with party equipment. Characters had wholly unique looks for each armor set, meaning they kept their aesthetic characteristics but they could still be completely outfitted. Hopefully Bioware is planning the same for DA3.
I can blame the parents for apparently unknowingly allowing their naive children to get on XBLA, accept friend requests from random users, set up meeting times and locations, and then travel to those locations to be taken advantage of (again, all seemingly unbeknownst to the parents).
Yes, the parents are to blame.
Headline should really read:
"Paedophile predators move in on prey because parents raise children to be morons."
I just can't see myself investing in the next generation of consoles if it goes in the direction that these rumors are suggesting...and this is coming from a guy that has invested in nearly every game system since the NES.
Cool, didn't know he was co-directing Brave. Now I want to see it more than ever.
I know Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, or one of the early Monkey Island's usually gets the nod for "best LucasArts adventure game," but Sam-n-Max has always been my personal favorite. At the very least I think it's hard to deny that it's probably the funniest of all the Lucasarts adventure games.
Look, the article is sensationalist, but there are some trends he brings up that are very relevant to the future of Nintendo, namely Nintendo's supposed "capturing" of the casual market during it's infant years.
There's really next to no evidence to suggest that it's Nintendo's fault the industry is not as strong as it has been (I mean good God, how does the nearly worldwide recession not factor into these debates?), but it's irrefutable that...
I don't think anyone has anything against the development teams behind the company. As a publisher, though, EA is absolute garbage.
Her statement seems humorously relevant to the comments being made here...
You're suggesting that the internet doesn't kick up a shitstorm even when developers convey their controversial opinions in the most civil way possible?
...because that actually happens all the time.
No, I'm a pretty avid board game fan, and I only vaguely know of the company. In fact, the games I've played from them were so unremarkable that I didn't even remember the company that made them.
To tell the truth, I thought the author was just joking around when I read the intro up there, but it seems he was just being ridiculously pretentious.
Jeezaloo. I didn't realize I was dealing with the next Sherlock Holmes here.
I didn't actually beat the game in 23 seconds. I don't know how you figured it out, but you got me.
No, it won't be. And thank god. It's been so long since I, a Puritanical American, have seen a pair of digital breasts.
Don't front. You're just jealous that I beat one of the greatest games of all time in 23 seconds.
Yeah. Except, you know....without all the ugly women.
This is nothing. I beat the game in 37 seconds one time, but my vid camera broke while recording it and I dont think there will be a point in my life when I will be able to afford another one.
His reasoning was that the market would not accept Milo sitting in stores "alongside these murderous shooter games."
He's such a pretentious douche. I don't believe for a second that this game was close to completion. This was just another opportunity for him to play the victim like he has been for the past decade.
People have a habit of confusing the categorization of things that are "art" and defining what is "inspired art."
For whatever reason, critics seem to think that identifying what games DON'T do as well as other mediums proves that games are not art.
I don't understand the logic, but there you go.
...really? The mentality here is that critics are just being humbugs?
I think those three or four years of the Wii thriving on shovelware prove that the casual crowd is not very discerning about what they buy, ESPECIALLY when that shovelware is heavily advertised AND involves a very, very high profile brand like Star Wars.
You can slap a popular franchise name on anything and then run an obscene amount of commercials and the casual crowd would buy it, regar...
Wat?
