From where I'm standing, these Zelda fans already got their wish with Twilight Princess - an entirely pointless new iteration on the series that rehashes just about EVERYTHING from Ocarina of Time (Jesus, even the order of the temples) except exactly that which made it good in the first place...

The Watchmen movie was truly a pathetic piece of shit. Zack Snyder managed to outdo himself and miss the point by an even wider margin his 300 adaptation did. I wonder why these hacks feel an irrepressible urge to cram their own childish attempts at writing on the source material that they...

Yep, that's him alright. While Blizzard has been making shit decisions one after the other (selling Starcraft 2 single-player campaigns as 3 different games, WoW-y Diablo 3, both games lacking LAN capability, etc), ragging on them for not making SC2 in first-person is so mind-boggingly...

Fixed? Stunning similarities, for sure.

You mean "the king is dead"? Damn, I had only heard "good night, sweet prince" and a couple of puns with "Beat It" so far. Hey I hear you man, I'm also a fan of his work from the 80's. But his death was hardly the end of his career, which is probably why this doesn't really hold much impact...

Perhaps if Doom hadn't already turned to shit I'd give a damn. It might as well "cross-pollinate" retarded features from TES if it'll keep going down the "survival-horror is hip now, let's turn it into a pitch-black spawn-enemies-behind-you-fest with duct-tapeless flashlight". One can only...

The king is dead, long live the king! ... or something. His music had stopped being any good for a VERY long time, and the man had turned into a walking joke. Still, it's a damn shame.

That's precious. "We knew it would be hard work, so we did nothing instead". Not that the Failout skill system wasn't completely unsalvageable bullshit to begin with, but to opt for simply not tweaking it at all and instead buffing enemies up is truly something. If Bethesda is going to be...

A quick, effortless buck, more likely than not. By handing it to Obsidian, not only will they get a share (and a considerable one, I'd imagine) of the profits with none of the work but also earn some street cred with the die-hard RPG crowd, which Beth has been alienating for quite some time...

Yep, he confirmed it himself on the Codex. Still, I don't think this one can be salvaged, even if the man had some interesting ideas with Van Buren and Obsidian proved they can do pretty good RPGs with Mask of the Betrayer. The Failout engine is just that shitty IMO.

Haven't seen it mentioned in this thread, so thought I'd throw The Invisibles, by Grant Morrison, out there. Definitely one of the best long-running series I've read, and a masterpiece of mindfuckery. I'd include Lone Wolf and Cub in that list (though I've hated all things Koike since it...

Cutting stuff out to save time I'm not viscerally opposed to. Tom Bombadil, for an instance, or the painstakingly thorough descriptions of yuppies' clothing that dragged on for pages in American Psycho; the first was very much a side-story to fit an old character, the latter was just...

I actually think the squid is a weak link in the comic: it's the only time psychic abilities are mentioned in the Watchmen universe and the only instance of "superpowers" of sorts aside from Doc Manhattan's, which seems something of an afterthought to me. Still, it was the way the ending was...

True, to an extent, and I acknowledged that. Still, if rumours are sound, they replaced it for something entirely idiotic, which is to be expected when people with none of the creator's talent are messing with his work. Another reason why they shouldn't, and another of those "sounds like...
