During the SNES/SEGA eras, you only needed a team of 10-15 people to make a game, 2 or 3 of them being programmers. Which is why most of those games are rock solid and didn't have much bugs.
You're looking at a world where average team sizes are about 40 to 100, work getting contracted out of country, language barriers and code being written in a different language. Games are hundreds of times more complex with features, multiplayers, and connectivity. Games have already become like the movie industry.
That's terrible! If there's a bug in a PC game, you make a uproar and it's fixed ASAP! If there's a bug in a console game, sounds like you have to wait weeks for 5 or 6 more bugs to appear before it's fixed. That sounds ass-backwards and user-unfriendly.
Well, you can download it, and judge for yourself and rate it. And if a lot of people rate it bad, then the game fails.
Tiny Towers is free. And they're fighting because one is a small team of 3 people, and another is a powerhouse of a game company.
A lot of reviews call Gotham City Imposters a 'Free-to-Play' for 15 bucks. Pick a side, Gotham City Imposters. Be free-to-play with gameplay unlockables, or be 15 bucks with a shitload of things. You can't be both.
This made me smile so much.
REALLY?! Oh crap. That means I'm part of their numbers. I was forced to make a EA account to install my Dragon Age DLC. Son of a bitch.
I'm very surprised that Kingdoms of Amalur is a EA game, and it's being released on Steam. Maybe it's EA afraid that the game won't sell so they let Steam have it. But yeah, ME3 requiring Origin means a definite no-buy for me.
Awesome! Just like they got Matthew Perry into Fallout, now Bethesda will HAVE to have Conan and Andy do voice overs in Skyrim DLC!
Yes please! I also want this!
I'm jumping on this. Not just to participate in the whole event, but to relive the awesomeness that was HL2.
Wait, really?! Holy crap! That game defined my art style! And I'm still horrible. :|
Checking out the Family Research Council's website, it seems they're advocating faith, family, and freedom. Well here's a big FUCK you to FRC. There's no Christianity in Star Wars. There's actually a Jedi religion. How about you focus on that, FRC? Make a shitstorm about how Star Wars doesn't believe in Jesus.
Really? Was that necessary?
In a serious note - tranny hookers actually exist. I don't see how that's a slur. Should I feel offended if he said 'asian hooker'? Cause, they exist too. If he talked about Thailand, should I feel offended about 'underage ladyboy prostitute'? I personally don't find it funny, but I don't see how it's a slur.
And if you ever been to San Fran, there is a sizeable transgendered prostitution population there.
Who said anything about it being simple? It's exactly the opposite of what he's saying. Get off your ass and do something.
We already have a system that doesn't let you play used games. It's called the PC. And guess what? I pick up games for about 2-5 bucks.
I don't mean to offend you, my console brothers. But I hope to see a world where games from 2 years ago cost less than dinner at a restaurant. There's nothing that pisses me off more than walking into Gamestop and seeing PS2 games valued at 20 bucks, or seeing digital downloads cost as much as a physical copy.
My buddy went to pick up L4D2 for the 360 and told me that he got it USED, and on SALE, for about 15 bucks. I told him that Steam recently had a Winter sale where the game was only 5 bucks. There shouldn't be such a price divide like that.
I don't see the connection. Unless the connection is referencing the article and the 'breaking rocks' part.
And I say 'bring it'. But knowing me, I'll probably F5 quick-save after every battle.
Remember that Kotaku article that reported that Kotaku comments are one of the worst on the internet? Yep. You'll find no better evidence than right here.
Here's some of my favorite lines.
"Fuck you and get the fuck off Kotaku."
"just tell fox news instead, they are on your side mate. "
"...And this is why they made KotakuCore, which I suddenly feel like switching to. One of the dumbest arguments I've heard in a while."
"So...if I call someone a motherfucker I should be concerned about the feelings of fathers?"
