| Personally, I don't start getting excited about a new game until I find out what kind of pre-order bonus and 0-day DLC is available. |

While those dummies in Hollywood have to rely on the big opening weekend (since word of mouth will kill your shovel-film) for a successful film, the brilliant minds in the video game industry realized something. Why rely on a big opening when you can convince idio-- I mean consumers to commit to pay for your game BEFORE IT'S EVEN AVAILABLE!
You can't find out the game is crap if you nobody has every played it! |

Seems like a pretty similar situation: Levine promising groundbreaking features and gameplay, and what did we get with BioShock? An on-rails shooter with good art design and mediocre-to-bad everything else.
"On-rails" is a bit of a stretch. Bioshock was still more open-ended than the bulk of shooters. CoD is on-rails. Bioshock, not so much.
This was a spiritual successor to SS2. Play SS2 and tell me that BioShock isn't on rails. Just because it's less of a theme park ride than CoD doesn't mean it's not on rails. |

But seriously, folks, I think it's pretty telling that he likens this delay to the delay put on the original BioShock. Seems like a pretty similar situation: Levine promising groundbreaking features and gameplay, and what did we get with BioShock? An on-rails shooter with good art design and mediocre-to-bad everything else.
So, the question in my mind is, what original/interesting ideas are they using this additional time to remove? |

| Seems reasonable. Flat $$ fee for regular items. Percentage cut for gold/mats-farmers and for fake money transactions (which reduces the fake money supply). |

| The only feedback BioWhore listens to these days is market research (i.e., focus groups). And is anyone surprised that this dumb idea originated in the cesspool that is their forums? |

| As long as they release Prey 2 with a handy after-death mechanic in which I'm teleported to another realm where I take potshots at weird aliens for a few seconds, after which I'm conveniently deposited exactly at the point where I died but now with full health. That really kept the tension up! |

points not spent towards being awesome.
And here we see the species known as "Modernus Gamerus" -- an evolutionary divergence from previous types of Gamerii, this species' primary concern is feeling awesome at all times and with the least amount of effort. Modernus Gamerus is also known to buy zero-day DLC and pre-order games months in advance. |

| TQ was terrible -- boring and repetitive to the extreme. Crappy skill trees, boring items, endless hours of the same style map and enemies. I hope these guys learned something from that experience. Seems unlikely. |

| Sounds interesting. Too bad their implementation of Blood Bowl was pretty bad, especially the online component. Very buggy too. |

Sorry I didn't mean to offend you by not liking what you like and discussing it in the relevant post. In the future I'll be sure I only post if I like something.
Who said you offended me? I'm just wondering why you thought your personal opinion was relevant when you admitted that it had nothing to do with the quality of the game and everything to do with your own video-gaming biases. |

I don't really like level and class-based systems anymore. It's too restricting, and I don't like having alts. I like the idea that I can eventually learn all the skills and switch things out to utilize them as needed. Similar to EVE Online or The Secret World, for example.
So, if you didn't like GW2 for personal reasons then why are you bothering to blog-- I mean, post about it? |

Can't say I care about this. GTAIV was really bad. Part of it was the silly mini-games and chores you were required to do but another part is that this gameplay recipe is just stale. It's not fun anymore to:
a) Watch a cutscene
b) Drive from point A to point B
c) Watch another cutscene
d) Shoot a couple guys in a bad combat engine
e) Drive from point B to point C
Repeat x 100. |

| I funded Wasteland 2 and Double Fine's kickstarter but this one smells like a scam. Read up on some of the suspicious shit going on with this one before adding more money. |
