It's shame because perhaps we never will be there. Gaming culture has always been predominately young white men that are also quite protective over this 'geek culture'.

But then, you just have to plainly say that some people are just arseholes. This is probably thanks to the internet that has given people completele expression in their anger and whatnot without any consequence. Add this to shooting someone online in the face and people just become awful.

I don't care who beats me in a game. If you're a stuck up douche that takes the game way to seriously and act like a tool when you win, then guy or girl, you're an arse.

It's 2012, girls, guys, kids, old people, young people; they all play games.

So fellas, stop being annoying sexist shitstains. Girls, stop the whole 'I'm a girl gamer' stuff. We all like to play pong, sex shouldn't come into it.

Fair enough, really. Can't argue with his reasoning. The guy wants to work and create. Since Valve have unlimited resources they can pump into games, they can just sit back and take their time. Lord knows when we'll see anything new from Valve in terms of a new game, a new world, a new IP. That's what this guy wants to do.

Gaming is one of, if not the, largest entertainment industries in the woorld. I think it's pretty mainstream.

Whether or not GTA is a trend is debatable.

What is true is that Rockstar release quality products and GTA is no exception. This is why Sam & Dan Houser avoid interviews and getting caught up in the 'celebrity' status a lot of developers can fall into. They both worked on making Rockstar a company that is a seal of quality.

One could see your view of one that just hates anything that is popular, that if its played by many then it somehow dimishes ...

And the voice echoes away in your head...

"Buy it-it-it-it-it...."

"Only £4.99-99-99-99..."

Before you know it, you've spent £500 on games because they're a frakkin' steal!

I was simply comparing the volume of people that play the games. Of course you are right, completely different.

But you get articles like this 'is CoD dying?' that mirror the WoW ones. They are both far too popular to be dying out yet, even if the numbers drop slightly. Alot of game companies are happy to sell a million copies, thats good going right there. So when you're getting numbers of 10 million+, especially in CoD which is just recycled again and again, I t...

When it doesn't make a profit, it's dying. It's like people that say 'weeelll, WoW is losing subscribers' well, I guess Blizz will have to make do with other 10 million, how will they cope?

The Last of Us was fantastic. It was brutal and ugly with the cinematic feel of Uncharted. Cannot wait.

I got Max Psyune 3 yesterday as well and I agree, it is fantastic. Think a bit more today after the 7 hours straight I played yesterday!

Can't happen. I too wanted a offline mode, I don't why Blizzard couldn't make it so you had characters that was completely offline, no interaction with other characters, no access to auction house.

This is impossble because Blizzard have a part of the game running on their own servers. This means the game is pretty much impossible to crack unless some people were willing to fill in the missing bits.

Chances are good we'll see a new trailer at E3.

GTA V will not be released this year.

You do need From Software in there. Demon's Souls and Dark Souls have been two of this gens finest games. No, not perfect but goddamit they tried to break the mould of 'cinematic' and went back to trial and error gaming.

Isn't that just the way with every kind of RPG that has PVP. There will always be an inbalance, or atleast, the players will constantly complain there is.

Blizzard were sneaky little buggers regarding it being online. A portion of the game is actually on their servers, which means the game is almost impossible to crack.

Last night I logged on to play for a few hours only to find I couldn't due to maintenance. Seriously? There should of been an offline mode. But no,, I paid for a game I can't access 24/7. Can get annoying.

The Blizzard fans will defend this to the death of course. I joined many on the fo...

Makes sense for next year. Rockstar has had their success with Max Payne 3, why release 2 huge money makers so close together?
