Not really a good thing, with him gone after a while it will give an opportunity for genuinely intelligent individuals to take his place. With Jack Thompson it was easy to shoot down anyone who criticized gaming because he made himself and all his peers look bad, but then someone who actually knows what he is talking about could come and cause bigger problems.
People looking down on others just because of their religious beliefs. Worrying about this topic is not silly. When the question of having to spend your life in eternal suffering and agony is in play, nothing is silly.
It is too bad this article only really points out really small or silly musical cameos and appearances, I mean the Guilty Gear series has more band references and homages than you can shake a stick at.
For M&Ms.
Strange Article though, no one I know has had any trouble either.
I would buy it.
What makes graphics important is not the amount of ZOMG PIXELS a developer can fit in the screen, what makes good graphics is a developer who can use the least ZOMG PIXELS to tell a story, set an atmosphere and let you interact with the game. Then after anything else any extra space left for more ZOMG pixels should only try to add to making the atmosphere, story and everything else even more powerful.
The thing is as far as artistic direction is concerned, it is pretty easy to w...
Yes I know graphics aren't everything, but the look of a game helps to influence the feel and experience of the game as well. If it was done right Diablo III could use a bunch of 2D sprites and still be an epic game. The current art Direction seems to betray what Diablo Fans loved, trudging through helltorn dungeons as a lone warrior or group of warriors standing up against overwhelming armies of horrific demons. The game left you feeling hopeless, claustrophobic and even paranoid at times ye...
I remember the days of Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 being a very exciting time. Back when videogames were about just having fun and doing awesome crazy stuff, trying to beat you friend's high score or throwing away quarters like crazy. I think the Mortal Kombat series is a perfect example of how the commercialization turned a great hobby and toy into a big bloated, commercial pile of waste.
AN HERO
until I SEE SOME FULGORE!
Playing games on a high powered PC > 360 or PS3. When playing on ps3 you can customize anygame you play to such a high degree, tweak it for better performance and always expect either patches from the developers or even user based patches. Then as PC specs and abilities increase games often run better and even more customization possibilities open up. Not to mention PCs can do everything console's can do, and more!
Plus all the best independent developers make really sweet an...
There better be a setting to ban star wars characters from online matches and to put them out of the main game. I don't want to get into one character's epic storyline and arcade experiance to suddenly have the whole mood of the game changed as im fighting on the death star.
Besides if they are going to give the 360 a guest character I would have taken Boba Fett over Yoda.
EIGHTY EIGHTY DEVELOPERS PER HOUR!
People have different ideas of what is fun, no big deal.
Good Girls Go To Heaven
but Bad Girls go everywhere.
I was hoping for a serious comparison, trying to see just how characters would change as they aged, but i guess the silly joke comparisons were kind of amusing, although "LOL OLD PEOPLE ARE FUNNY" is not exactly interesting.
I got most of them except the contra one and the God of War one.
Star Wars being one of them, plus I hate the whole ps3 has darth vader and 360 has yoda thing, yoda is such a silly character to have in there and now they added some starhunter BS or something. I also hate how SCIV has become a Saturday morning cheap bandai anime cartoon instead of semi-historical medieval fantasy. Astaroth? ooooh lets make him a big scary monster instead of exploring the human element of a Golem, ohh lets make Nightmare a big rediculous ghost/demon instead of a knight. Lets...
No U!
