he's always said he tends to overpromise though.
i'd rather see more developers like him who try to do too much then every game developer going down the annual identikit little more than roster update route.
this industry would have stagnated long ago without people like him.
he was considered to disreputable to even be a lawyer anymore, that should tell you all you need to know about jack thompson.
the ironic thing is here, that mod does sound pretty distasteful, but all he's doing here is giving it more press, i'd certainly never heard of it before.
not that he cares about that really, it's not any cause he's promoting, it's himself, he's trying to create this cult of personality around himself.
o...
and they go to him?
that could explain why so many developers are shutting down.
seriously, you'd be better off with a magic 8 ball.
hell, that octopus that predicted the world cup could probably advise people better than this idiot pachter.
why do people listen to that wally?
either he says something totally ridiculous, that would usually involve screwing over the game buying public, or he's stating the exceedingly bloody obvious.
i expect he's gonna make a prediction that this year's call of duty game will be an fps.
i've played games that would be played with twin sticks on a touch phone, and they're just awful.
for once i agree with him. :)
they matter, they're just not the only thing that matters.
Irem has cancelled Disaster Report 4, which was due for release on the PlayStation 3 this spring. They didn’t give any explanation why the game has been cancelled.
i'd have thought it was obvious.
i would have quite liked to play that game, but i totally understand why it would be shelved.
you're trying to excuse this with the reasoning that only one underfunded little department in all the massive corporation that is microsoft actually thought about doing something for japan, a country that provided more aid after katrina than practically anywhere else.
i don't know if that's worse than the upper management being in on this or not.
it's not a sony game though, it's konami.
bioware really have sold their souls to the devil.
ok bioware, what you gonna do to me? can't fucking touch me bitches.
i will never buy your games while they're infested with virus by another name drm so you have no hold over me.
i can call you whatever the fuck i like, and you just have to take it.
this is not a comment on the quality of the title, i played the demo and thought it was fantastic, but i refuse to support a developer th...
it wont if they keep treating their pc customers like shit, see recent news surrounding dragon age 2.
i'd like one seemless world, no loading screens when i go into a town or a building, just one seemless experience where the only time i'm not viewing the world is on the title screen and any in game menus.
and the scaling thing, that pissed me right off, i got to the end and had leveled quite a bit but martin was always getting murdered, still never finished the game because of that.
i prefer if i find a bit hard i can go off and level and then come back to be...
have you seen ico?
the female character in that is the most ineffectual useless character i've ever seen in a video game, you literally have to lead her by the hand virtually everywhere.
he can make the protagonist in his game a male, that's down to him, but he does seem to buy into some really outdated stereotypes about women.
fumi, it isn't the 1950s anymore.
yeah, i agree with digitalraptor, and i'd like to add some rednecks really are gap toothed bigoted idiots.
how many games out now, or in the history of gaming are about the hero rescuing his girlfriend or wife?
that reveals their sexual orientation.
or should mario finish a stage and see, "your non gender specific partner is in another castle"?
how many games feature virtually naked women for guys to ogle?
so don't go the whole what has sex got to do with gaming crap.
it's funny how it's only a problem when it's a sam...
yeah, aint it great. :)
i wont often say this kind of thing directly to another person online, but.
FUCK OFF shadowknight you sack of shit.
i hoped the gaming community was a more forward thinking group, but sadly it's not, it's just as full of bigots, racists, homophobes and arseholes as any other group, in fact some of the things i've heard wouldn't sound out of place in some shithole retirement home where all the old people that got thrown out of the decent places end up.
the sort of place that smells of piss and booze.
ms have a history, and future it seems, of corporate homophobia, an...
didn't do the beatles any harm did it. :)
