"Nintendo should be suing MS for stealing their idea."

You have no idea what you're talking about.

That is all.

Ever heard of forging citizenship papers?

MI6 doesn't bother with checking that stuff anyway. ^-^

That's because you're not skilled enough to be a Double O.

All it needs is an "Engineers To The End" tagline and it's good to go.

This situation hadn't even evolved into an argument:

- You've done nothing to reemphasize your initial points. Since you've stated I've said something similar to other posters, wouldn't an organized retort be more readily available for you?

- "I mean your bringing up a comment you made ages ago."

*From your first comment* -> "As I've said in my blog before. . ."

Why is an age-ol...

"no offense but people have pretty much all said the sqae thing in some form, unless you think everyone copied you /s"

You mean to tell me other people have pointed out the irony in your counter-argument to say TR reboot has copied Uncharted? A stubborn one, aren't you?

I'll give an A grade on the edit though. :D

Aren't you blatantly mirroring my 'originality ouroboros' comment made in that same blog? That's not to say I blame you if you didn't-I made it shortly before/after the blog left the 3 top on main page.

You're able to recognize platforming and treasure hunting predating Tomb Raider, and yet...

I personally thought Halo Wars was a great title; then again, I can also admit to not diving into every single console RTS on the 360 (seems like you have more under your belt than me).

In all honesty, I usually like to endorse bigger series acting as a 'lab rat experiment' for new genres because it should, in theory, give more creative freedom to the designers. Since you know a core fanbase is going to be behind it (for various reasons), it allows that publisher to ...

- The EndWar bit was just more of me rambling on in relation to console RTS games becoming more fluid as time has gone on. It's innocuous in the argument itself, but just thought it was worth a mention.

- "Should WiiSports be praise worth for using motion controls for bowling, just because its the first console motion controlled bowling?? HELL NO!"

For the sake of clarification:

You recognize Wii Sports innovated how a sport is...

Granted, a console RTS with-give or take-15 buttons won't outperform any PC RTS in the near future, but shouldn't stepping stones like HW still get credit anyway?

The fluid system felt dramatically improved over earlier RTS (on console, of course) demos that I tried out.

Friend who bought Tom Clancy's EndWar said the voice system also worked well.

I think you're talking about Fracture. The original character name was Jet Brody. He also bleeds Mountain Dew :P.

It doesn't mention that she helped write Mass Effect 3's storyline.

I'm not trying to slam HL's story structure or anything like that. I'm just pointing out a part of the blog that made me raise my eyebrow. My post was meant more for SeekDev to edit that portion of his blog to possibly explain what differences he finds between mute "The Freeman" and mute X military shooter guy.

5118d ago 3 agree0 disagreeView comment

You praise HL2 as the FPS to rule them all (I guessing you think in the story department as well) yet don't give Freeman the same criticism as X military shooter guy: "The main character is usually some person who doesn't talk, or if he does talk, he's got about as much to say as a potato."

While I'm still inclined to agree with you (I'm about to lvl 20), I found this article on it fairly interesting:

As much as I appreciate the timeline shift for the series, I still don't understand why a new setting should be considered a huge change in the eyes of gamers. The same cinematic spin has been embedded into the series since CoD1. What's really the big difference between the slow-mo, heavy-breathing moment with a WWII plane flying overhead and a slow-mo, heavy-breathing moment with a dozen blackhawks in the scene?

If a change in scenery is all most of us need to have...

Heh...I had a feeling you'd post on this review ^-^.

The only thing that keeps it from exemplary/awesome territory (9.0+) imo is the way the story is handled; red herrings, tawdry distractions, and the like are all present to some degree. It gets even worse when Cage and co. try to drag in romantic words to describe their narrative. Some of the story elements employed in HR would be ripped apart if they ever fell into a Hollywood agent's hands.

Although I think the Pendulum Wars were covered enough in those books-and am fine with what we've been given in that regard, the idea of chainsaws being the deciding factor in your game's timeline makes you look like a meathead (tbh).

I guess I was lucky to only catch part of Beyond's announcement and the whole Last of Us demo.
