Dorky Glasses. Dorky glasses that add another 50% or more of the initial price of the TV in order to have enough for a family to watch it in 3D, and then another charge on top of everything else for the content...all for something I don't even know that I'd really want after the investment anyway. |

Yeah, you were spot on about Rift going free to play in 6 months. I remember you touting that one on a regular basis about a year ago. You're a regular fucking psychic.
Seriously, you're like a broken record with these games. It's always the same thing. |

Doombringer wrote on Dec 31, 2011, 21:55: Krahulik should have stayed out of it. He can spin it however he'd like, but it boils down to "I think I'm pretty important since I run PA and PAX, so I'm going to throw my weight into this bit of arm-flailing."
Between this ridiculousness and the Notch/Yogscast Twitter debacle a few weeks back, the "gaming community" is looking more and more like "kindergarten." That's absolutely ridiculous.
It might also be worth noting that since PAX, the show the guy was touting that he'd be at, wouldn't exist without Krahulik...he doesn't have to think he's important, he is. If he doesn't want someone with that sort of behavior being on the floor at his show then I think it'd be irresponsible for him not to say something. It's part of why PA is as popular as it is, because they aren't just going to let it slide because someone is paying them money...they actually care about what's going on.
As much as I hate the gaming community in general, the actual event that people are talking about is one of the positive examples of it. The stupidity surrounding it and the juvenile actions of random people who aren't involved with the story sucks (including Kotaku here), but it's pretty silly to think that's a gaming community thing and not a general internet thing. |

Creston Yeah, exactly.
The only exposure I have to Kotaku are the articles Blue links to here, but I can't remember ever reading one that didn't take some asinine edge to a story just to try and make a point that was mostly idiotic in the first place and then write it up well enough to make it seem coherent and reasonable.
It's like they're striving to be the Jerry Springer of video game journalism. |

Teddy wrote on Dec 22, 2011, 00:12: Except that there are people who have been playing for a week and a day now, not just one day. That's a bit more frustrating to lose when you suddenly find out that all your friends joined some other server. Transfers just move the problem around rather than alleviating it unless it's transfers that they allow only to certain underpopulated servers...and even then with Christmas coming up who knows what will happen with another influx of players.
Not that I'm disagreeing with you, though. I'm on the server I'm on because that's the one my guild was assigned to. I just don't think transfers are a solution rather than kicking the can down the street to someone else's door. |

Bhruic wrote on Dec 21, 2011, 20:29: That an MMO would launch today without thinking that maybe, just maybe they should have character transfers ready for launch is mind bogling. Well, if the game came out yesterday and you had to re-roll on a new server you'd be out one day worth of low level character.
Not that it wouldn't be nice, I guess, it's just not something I'd want taking away from development time pre-release when it's not really a big deal coming out of the gate. Doing it because of queues at this point just moves the problem around rather than fixes it anyway. |

You have to admit that every single story is pretty much predictable for both the number of comments it gets and what kind of comments it will get, not to mention who's doing the commenting. |

Ozmodan wrote on Dec 20, 2011, 16:39: You want facts, SWG was far more advanced than this game and that was made over 10 years ago. There is nothing innovative about this game, it is just a complete rehash of games that preceded it with a Star Wars flare. You're welcome to your opinion, but... Galaxies launched in 2003, and it was garbage then and there's a reason it's not running anymore when Asheron's Call, EQ, and Ultima Online that all predated it by years still are open. The idiotic martyrdom of Galaxies as a great game still baffles me, like watching the PC Gamer webcast of its final moments where people were talking about how great the game was and how sad it was to see it go...yet none of them were actually playing it.
No other MMO has attempted to have storylines and characterization on par with single player games until this one. It's fully voiced, through the entire game, unlike any other MMO before it. Whether you like it or not, it IS doing things differently than other games in the genre, and like it or not that includes the space combat (which is pretty fun, actually, if a short diversion...and they already have plans to improve it).
It's not exactly a startling revelation to find out that a game in a particular genre plays similarly to other games in the same genre.

Total-Khaos wrote on Dec 19, 2011, 16:19: Um, no, I beg to differ. You only choose ONE provider for cable, sattelite, or cell phone service 99.9% of the time. In regards to digital distribution, you are forced into having multiple programs like Steam or Origin installed just to play games. I cannot choose just ONE provider for all my games. Hell, at this point you can do everything on Steam but Battlefield 3 anyway. I don't know of another platform you have to have for a particular game other than BF3 since Demigod released on it recently. Other providers don't even require clients in the first place (Amazon's downloader can be uninstalled after the game is downloaded, Direct2Drive doesn't even have one, etc.).
In any case...
Origin isn't necessary to play this game. It really has nothing at all to do with this entire topic, actually, since the garbled codes are from retail boxes and you don't need Origin at any point in running the game, setting up a subscription, or installing it.

Acleacius wrote on Dec 19, 2011, 11:20: How ridiculous, they don't even have enough servers for prerelease. Now they trying to turn it into a self promoting release about how great they are, since they are concerned. Except that there are enough servers, it's just certain ones facing queues. There are still plenty of servers to join that don't have queues or have one of any measurable length.
Besides, I'd guess that the majority of the people who were interested in playing day 1 are already playing anyway, especially those who were joining an existing guild and already had a server determined for them.
People would laugh at how unpopular it was if it didn't have queues, they'd laugh and say how badly it was handled if it did...no pleasing some people. |

Prez wrote on Dec 18, 2011, 19:56: No I don't. Sexualized, yes. OVER-sexualized? No. Sex is one of the strongest driving forces in human nature, which makes it natural that it is utilized in entertainment media. If women were the dominant consumer class in gaming, all of the male avatars in games would be hung like bulls, built like Mr. Universe, and sensitive to every woman's every mood instantly (Ya know, like how my wife wishes I was... ). That's just how humans are. It's true in all media, and quite frankly I'm sick of hyper-sensitive, attention-seeking idiots posing as game journalists trying to score points with other hypersensitive morons by continually writing such pointless drek as this shameful excuse for an editorial. Yeah, exactly. Because this from the article...
They may be characters, but they're also sexual objects to be consumed. ...says more to me about the writer than the content he's complaining about, and it's repeated all through the article.
Maybe it's met with denials, justifications and outright dismissal of the issue because for most of us we don't see every girl in a comic shop as an outsider, every woman buying video games like a minority pariah of some kind, or every sexy character as existing only as a sex toy like the author seems to by reading his story here.

Dirwulf wrote on Dec 11, 2011, 17:59: 10 hours? LOL. You obviously did none of the side quests, none of the Riddler puzzles, none of the trophies, none of the challenges. You probably played it on easy as well. You didn't even play the game, you rushed through the quest line and then pronounced your incorrect, lame judgement. He's right, really. It took me 8 hours to finish Batman on normal and I wasn't interested in futzing around doing the left over riddler tropies or anything else afterward. The riddler trophies are annoying, the Zzaz quests are interesting but ultimately all the same, and the challenge rooms hold no appeal to me at all (and didn't in the first game, either). The main story can be finished in 3-4 hours, maybe less if you're just "rushing through" the game, so it's not like 10 hours is a speed run in any way at all. |

Sempai wrote on Dec 10, 2011, 08:11: I agree for the most part, but keep in mind after 30 days you'll be paying more money in order to keep playing. If I don't pay it to keep playing an MMO I'd be spending it on other games to fill the time anyway. The $15 usually works out to be less than I'd spend on single-player games to fill my time instead, saving me money rather than losing it.
Not that that's a selling point people who don't care for MMO's, but $15 a month to have a game evolve beyond where it was when you first bought it usually is a pretty decent deal. |
