I'm not going to lie, I'd go to the theater to see that. |

| I like my iPad and all, but if it's a PC it's a pretty crappy one. One of the biggest things people need to realize when picking one up is that it's not a laptop replacement, so putting it in the same class seems like just a funny way to fudge numbers to sell stock. |

I think he needs to re-read the studies he's quoting. The Michigan State study, for example, only talks about the link between brain patterns and violent games; it doesn't provide any evidence that the games actually cause any outward behavioral aggression.
The researcher also said this: "“Although there are probably more positive effects of playing all types of video games and even violent video games, such as socializing with peers or improving cognitive and physical abilities, it is important that we continue to explore this causal relationship we have shown in this research.”
Way to not let the facts get in the way of your argument, Congressman.

I quit playing the beta and wasn't really interested, but forgot to cancel my preorder so wound up with the game.
I've been having fun with it. I hope there's enough content at level 30 and added afterward to keep the game going, but it's fun enough that I'll hit the level cap for sure. |

Having to buy a gamepad with DCUO is kind of a buzzkill for me, makes me feel like the game is a bit simplistic, I couldn't imagine how dumbed down I'd have to make WoW to play it on a gamepad for example. About as much as Guild Wars, since DCUO uses about the same type of skill loadout system, but I'm not sure I'd call either approach dumbed down. |

| I don't think there's been a shift away from console games to what they're calling "multiplatform" at all. There does seem to have been a shift away from gamers spending impulse cash on poorly made movie tie-in games just because the movie gets their attention, though, and it started happening well before this one came along. |

kanniballl wrote on Jan 11, 2011, 12:19: Some of the reviews I read said combat is a little less like a traditional MMORPGs and a *little* closer to Batman Arkham asylum. In which case, I'd be cool with that.
Heck, I'd be fine with a single-player game with combat even 1/3 like Batman AA with the added ability to customize my character. The combat is absolutely nothing like Batman's. I'd ignore any review from a site that said it was, because...it's just not.
It's MMO combat, except you hit a button to attack, hold it down to power up, and...that's kinda it. You get some special abilities that you do a combination of those two things with, there isn't anything even approaching the tactical combat that Arkham Asylum had, or the response from enemies; you're just burning down life bars here. |

Eldaron Imotholin wrote on Jan 10, 2011, 21:41: The last time WoW was "grindy" was even BEFORE The Burning Crusade came out. The last time I grinded with my character was 5 years ago in the Eastern Plaguelands, and only from lvl 56 to 60 (lvlcap). And even that wasn't necessary if I knew where the proper quests were. ...What?
What is there to do at level 85 in the game right now? You can:
1) Run the same battlegrounds/arenas constantly to accumulate honor/conquest points. 2) Run daily quests to gain reputation. 3) Run the same instances over and over again repeatedly to gain slightly better gear and/or justice points. 4) I can't think of a #4. Run old content to grind old reputations?
WoW is as grindy right now as it has ever been, plain and simple. Once you're done with the questing, all there is left is to grind for reputation, honor, or justice points. |

You're not really, but I gave up on talking about it since if you say anything contrary to it being the best game ever you get flamed off of any board you posted on. I know other people that have been reluctant to even talk about the game because of the fanboy hate they incur just by saying anything that's not 100% positive about it.

That would be because by "innovation" he isn't referring to game play, he is referring to profit generating. Ding-ding-ding!
When I read shit like this it sounds like this in my head: "we're turning gaming into something you won't like anymore, woot!"
Games as a service y'all!
I think his point is that those things show that PC gaming can make publishers and devlopers a lot of money, which gives them great potential if they're willing to devote the time and money to the platform.
It's not so much about turning gaming into something you don't want as getting more (and new) people involved in producing content for the PC because of the benefits it offers. They're able to do these things to make their bigger and badder projects work instead of trying to push them through closed systems.
It's a good thing for PC gaming if companies see that they can make money doing it. Hell, it's what it's going to take for developers and publishers to start focusing on PC's as their primary release target rather than developing the next safe Xbox game.

Sepharo wrote on Jan 5, 2011, 22:40: Is Angry Birds still free on android?
I expected the free beta, but then when the full game was free too but yet you have to pay on iPhone and now PC. How'd that happen? Not sure. At least on my iPad there's a free version and then the full version, but the full version there I swear I only paid something like $2.99 for.
Maybe there's something more to the PC version? It's worth noting that the $4.99 price is temporary; it's supposed to go up to $9.99 at some point...which while being a fun little game, I don't know why it would be that much when it's only $4.99 on the Apple store (I just checked it there). |

It is a HUGE step back from Fabe 2 in a lot of ways, its much shorter and the ending is asinine. I personally thought Fable 3 was far and away better than Fable 2. It was more like the first game, which was a welcome change. I liked the ending of Fable 3, too, and I'm not sure you can knock it all that seriously when there's even a joke by the writers in Fable 3 about how bad the ending of Fable 2 was. |

Cutter wrote on Jan 3, 2011, 18:10: Kicks ass? It's exactly like every other MOG out there except for the window dressing. Hell, it even manages to take the genre backward in some cases. The game is entirely on rails and it's all courier/fetch quests. It's just another WoW clone that doesn't do it anywhere as good as Blizzard, and will be F2P or gone inside of a year - probably 6 months. The visuals are nice, but the gameplay is boring as shit.
I really like WoW, and playing the beta of Rift made WoW hard to go back to. Blizzard doesn't do things as well as Blizzard these days considering the buggy and dull grindfest game they've turned WoW into at 85. If you're judging the game as being "boring as shit" then compare it to WoW at the same 1-10 or 1-20 level range and tell me that it's not a linear courier/fetch experience. There was more to do in those first 20 levels I saw in Rift than in any MMO I've ever played.
So yeah, it kicks ass; as long as you're not unreasonably expecting the game to come out and completely reinvent the genre into something else entirely. It's polished, it's fun, it's involving, and it's different. It also pretty much has everything, something nobody else has really nailed down since WoW came out. I knew pretty much nothing about the game until I played the beta and it sold me on it. |
