Really?
About the only thing that gets me excited is a new game. You know, because I'm a gamer, and I like playing games.
Now, give me an English release of Yakuza Kenzan or Yakuza 3, and then we'll have a "megaton" announcement. But I really don't see how any ->gamer<- could consider the past few "megatons" at all newsworthy.
Of course sex is the selling point.
This is Bethesda. They can't exactly try to claim "quality" with their last few games.
Er... what was the last PS3 announcement that was actually, you know, big?
The one where they announced they were making a PS3?
Hahaha.... no.
Maybe most "memorable" but definitely not the greatest.
Can't get past the disclaimer.
"I know as a human being and a member of society that women are equal to men."
A human being? Really? 'Cause, physically, men and women are not equal. As a member of society? I can't think of a single social social organization in the history of humankind where men and women have been equal.
Hell, the closest we have to real equality is legally, and even then... not quite. Moral grounds? Yep. Men and women are equ...
Yeah, that's totally it.
Not America's exorbitantly-high murder rates.
Not the overproliferation of violence in popular American literature, film, television and music.
Not the threadbare requirements for gun ownership.
Not the pathetically inept public education system that raised an entire generation of morons.
No, you're right. It's TOTALLY the fault of video games.
Obviously, a person who despises Dynasty Warriors games should be the NUMBER ONE GUY to review a Dynasty Warriors game.
Odds are that score'd be at least two or three points higher if it were developed in the Western hemisphere.
So... Fallout 3-Bethesda=Awesome?
Cool. Maybe this "spin off" will be a better successor to the Fallout name than F3.
I'm getting two things from this article:
1. Stardock.
2. No single-player campaign.
I don't see why anybody should be at all surprised by the insane level of piracy... it makes a helluva lot more sense than if those people would shell out money for only half a game.
I'm not going to argue semantics. Whether or not piracy is "stealing" or not, it's clearly wrong and, at the very least, occupies one of the darker moral gradients.
It's clear that piracy is a major problem, not just with games but with all forms of media--movies, music, books, etc. A friend of mine was in China a little while back on a tour at a printing press... and saw copies of his own book being pumped out.
The only real way to combat piracy is with di...
The problem with dialog trees is that they rarely resemble "trees."
Last time I checked, you don't end up back at the base of a tree's trunk after you move past the last leaf or twig.
It's not as good as it looks....
The ground is still all burnt and trashed which makes for a weird juxtoposition, and the textures for the leaves have a LOT of pop-in. Also: the leaves aren't rendered in the distance, so you'll only see trees for a bit in front of you and then it's back to the wasteland.
It looks much better as a screenshot than to actually play with.
I've got everything but a Wii. (lol, no gaems).
I think, overall, ports are a BAD thing for gamers. They're great for the industry, but bad for us. A new Tales Of game using the ToV engine on PS3 could have been awesome, and wouldn't take that much longer to make than a port.
Owning a 360 in addition to a PS3 is good because I get to play all the RPGS when they come out.
Owning a 360 in addition to a PS3 is still going to be good because these ports... they take forever to be releasted (it'll be around 2011 by this thing, assuming it's real, is availible in english).
And by the time (continuing under the initial assumption) ToV (PS3) is released for $60USD, ToV(X360) will be $20USD.
SMART.

Best Writing Award: Fallout 3
Beating out Braid, MGS4, GTAIV and Far Cry 2
<<<<<<<& lt;<<
You have GOT to be kidding me. Fallout 3 was a fun game, to be sure, but the writing would have been hard-pressed to be worse. Christ, the ending was so terrible I couldn't stomach the game any more. And MGS4 was a nominee? WTF?
If you're going to have a category like, "best writing,&qu...
Great. Another one of *these* articles.
Call me biased, but I'm FAR more concerned about sexism in gaming when it comes to the portrayal of men. Women, so far as I can see, appear in far greater varieties than men in games.
Oh, right--guys aren't allowed to complain about sexism toward men, sort of like how white people aren't allowed to complain about anti-white racism. My bad.
@GlossGreen: it doesn't matter whether the comment was made earnestly or facetiously--it's still racist.
Like if I were to say,
"Gee, aren't black people stupid."
it would be racist, no matter the context.
You know, I was fine with this "expert" 'till I read:
"Maybe they'll make the next game happen in Finland and you'll have a whole series of Inuits and the like being really scary and running around with Walrus heads on. I think it's silly to call it racist."
Inuits with walrus heads? Isn't THAT pretty damn racist?
Daikatana 2, folks. It would have been awesome, and you all know it.
Seriously, though, where's Freespace 3? Mechwarrior 4? Fallout 3?
Okay... I'm coming into this having not read anything on infamous until now.
I think the game looks really great and really crappy at the same time. Gameplay looks AWESOME.
But... seriously, that's the main characters voice? It's so... generic. In a bad way. Yeesh. I couldn't even take it in a 6-minute demo vid. And he can fly? That's... that's pretty lame.
When's the demo gonna be available for all us normal folks? I'm definitely gonna have to try this...
