Hopefully we'll see a ressurgence of mid tier developers who have smaller budgets and smaller expectations on returns.

EA needs every game it makes to sell millions of copies to make up for the insane amount of money it they spend on development and marketing. Thus every game they make is becoming more and more of a dude-bro shooter because that's what sells, and they try to nickel and dime us for more money with DLC/DRM.

As long as publishers have th...

I want a cheat that makes vehicles handle like they did prior to GTA4 (i.e not like a hippopotamus on wheels).

Maybe another one that detonates any tollbooths in the world.

That's still a big issue. Mark-ups on goods transported accross the border, especially electronics, are insane.

It's gotten so bad recently the government is reviewing the issue.

Not really, Ubisoft has the worst DRM in the industry, and they've started milking Assassin's Creed as an annual franchise.

Their games are usually better, but their business ethics are just as suspect as EA or Activision.

They'll never outsell GTA, too much brand awareness, but it wouldn't take much to match recent GTA in quality, Saint's Row already did it this gen.

R* is great at world building, but lately they've been trying to make everything realistic at the expense of fun, and trying to make us feel bad for protagonists in cutscenes only for them to immediately punch a guy in the face, steal his car and run over some pedestrians while shouting obscenities on the way to th...

Glad to see Campster's Errant Signal video mentioned in the article, the man really knows how to articulate his points on a subject.

I don't think we CAN actually come up with a tangible line between what is a game and what isn't, since the nature of what a game is is usually somewhat subjective. It's like trying to come up with a concrete definition of art.

In my case, if the game is running on a computer, and the developer is selling/promoti...

It's neat, but I'd rather play Doom with the super fast circle strafing gunplay than with RE controls.

I find it disturbing that when the word "vocal minority" is used, most people seem to assume that everyone who didn't vocalize their dissatisfaction must of liked the ending.

Gabe would probably make a great Hobbit.

Well not really, I love infamous 1&2, but you're either choose to be superhero or supervillain, there's no option for a morally gray character.

The game actually penalizes you for not focusing on an alignment as the powers you can unlock depend on your level of 'goodness' or 'evilness'.

If they change one thing in the new game I hope there's a neutral path to follow that doesn't gimp you in terms of powers.

You might want to keep an eye on Star Citizen.

That wouldn't really make a difference...

*SPOILERS*

Depending on the ending the galaxy has either destroyed all AI, come under the control of Reaper Shepard and his ultra powerful Reaper army, or every single being is a synthetic-organic hybrid.

*END SPOILERS*

I don't think any amount of time would reduce the impact those choices must have had on a future galaxy, if they make anything but a prequel it'd need to h...

EA isn't going to let Bioware shelve Mass Effect until they've milked it dry.

Graphics help convey the action the character are taking and can show facial expression, but none of these things require photoreal levels of detail like cage seems to be saying.

Did you care any less about Clementine because she had a stylized look and didn't look exactly like a real child?

What we need for better emotion in games isn't more realistic graphics, it's an increase in the quality of work that writers put into their characters and st...

Character's need to have time invested in their development, this usually means dialogue, which usually means no exploding set pieces or shooting during it.

There's nothing that makes games inherently worse with characterization than any other media, TWD should be proof of that. Developers just need to put actual EFFORT into it instead of just having the story and characters as windows dressing for the gameplay.

If you're talking about Persona 4 Arena you may be right.

I don't play fighting games as I have no interest in them, so I'm not a good judge of gameplay, but I played it for the story since it was supposed to be a sequel to Persona 4. The story mode was more of a visual novel instead of a fighting game and that's the way I preferred it as I was only there for the story.

IMO the best game on vita by far.

Didn't play Persona on the PS2, but after playing Golden I ended up buying Persona 3 & Persona 4 Arena because I was so impressed with it.

Best game on vita hands down.
