    Zelda Skyward Sword

    I'd say that it has more to do with people who are fans of OoT being far to accepting of the games not having evolved much since. Skyward Sword sounds like it has finally moved combat forward, even if it is still pretty basic, but most of the gameplay is pretty much copy-pasted. All in all...

    NDAA

    It's pretty clearly unconstitutional but the problem is that it has to make it to civil courts to reach the supreme court and toast the law. In other words, someone has to be tried in civil court in order for the law to have a legal decision made on it. Fortunately the ACLU will be working...

    Bethesda gets FOOL rights, Interplay gets $2 million

    That's why I hope that they get bought out, are forced into chapter 7 bankruptcy or chapter 11 bankruptcy to the point where they have to sell off a lot of their IPs. It's debatable whether or not the games are well made or designed, it's not debatable that they sell like hotcakes, probably...

    Steam just reached 5 million concurrent users.

    Most of it is poorly designed, overpriced and the F2P model is more often than not, bad for consumers, specifically dedicated customers.

    Customer Service from hell and response from PAX and others

    Just to clarify for those perusing, you're talking about David Kotkin, the inventor and founder of the Avenger Controller, not Christoforo. I think it's more horrifying that N-Control didn't find another company or someone in house to handle PR and customer service having known that this guy...

    Mass Effect 3 discussion

    From what I've heard ME1 only had 1 layout for each terrain type (all 3 or 4 types) for side quests though and that's completely unacceptable.

    Customer Service from hell and response from PAX and others

    I was on a bit of a time restraint when I wrote that, I just edited it with a long, more detailed account and a clearer, edited version of the original. I felt like the time at which he got pissed was reasonable and other than the p.s.es, his "insults" were reasonable. I also give him credit...

    Customer Service from hell and response from PAX and others

    Here's a story about a third party PR company (apparently consisting of one man) handling customer service which insults a customer seeking an ETA on a controller that he preordered after the delivery date was missed. To sum things up: Long version: [spoiler:4152c09744]The customer emails the...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Been playing Batman: Arkham Asylum, never beat it and want to before I start on Arkham City, and Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands. Both are good for what they are, hopefully the traps will get more insane in PoP...

    Claim details from Bethesda vs Interplay

    They are worried about possible damage to the value of the IP and may want the rights to make their own Fallout MMO or, at the very least, have less competition for the MMO that they are making.

    Bethesda vs Interplay continued, FOOL screenshot

    Actually the reasonable person standard would be applied here. If Interplay submitted PR materials, such as packaging, for approval that any reasonable company would okay, they would be in trouble. Of course this is only true if Interplay can show that a significant portion of reasonable...

    Female armor in video games

    Yep, Bioshock was nice and violence free.

    Female armor in video games

    She appears to have greaves on beneath it, though it might just be her boots. Someone who has played the game can confirm or deny this. I think the bigger problem than the portion of the market with bikini armor is the lack of varieties of body types and, particularly for female characters...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I'm avoiding Diablo 2 so that I'm as fresh as possible for a long Diablo 3 run. Getting close to the end of Bastion, great game.

    Female armor in video games

    Mortal Kombat is a great example of a game which intentionally tries to be the gorn of video games, so it's not really a good example. It's rediculous, it knows it and it revels in it. It's an exception, not the rule and I think that if you are going to be that ridiculous, it's good for the...

    Female armor in video games

    Actually H-Games benefit far more from what the guy in the article was talking about with showing less until the big reveal (in ME's case, you saw nothing there). You get more of a reaction going from total cover to no cover than from a thong to nothing. Why can giant robots be artistic...

    Female armor in video games

    It's funny that you say that because the majority of the MMO market is South East Asia and the worst offenders come from there. Also let's not be so hasty to stereotype, it's meant to appeal to all men (and some women), not just the stereotypical lonely nerd. Some women enjoy it just as much...

    Bioware/Victory Games C&C: Generals 2

    I'm not sure that many comments have contradicted that, heck it contributed to why I said that it's a Bioware game in name only. That's awesome, I'm replaying HoMM3 as we speak but turn-based and real-time strategy are two different beasts. I'm hoping for the best but HoMM3 experience doesn't...

    Bioware/Victory Games C&C: Generals 2

    Well from the sound of things, it's mostly Bioware in name only. EA figures that Bioware is the studio of theirs with the biggest name so maybe they are trying to make them seem more like Blizzard. They have an online game, ARPGs and RPGs (Blizzard lacks the latter), and now a RTS. Ba~zing...
