I was really thinking about this a few months ago. Now I've been sucked in by Eve and AOC seems rather meh at this point.

I did a bit of DS homebrew awhile ago, and I think the guy who did Quake DS also did Quake 2 DS. The more you know.

Good lord. Just read all of the comments above. Did all of the EA haters even read the article? They admit they made mistakes, and they are trying to change their ways. What more do you want right now? I know gamers are an unreasonable bunch, but bashing EA for admitting that they screwed the pooch is just bad form.

I'll say this once again, I think is really turning a corner in its thinking as a company. It seems like they are really letting their developers run on new projects. I hope it works out for them and the developers involved, because then everyone (including the consumer) wins.

Is it just me, or has EA really changed over the past few years. It seems like they are slowly becoming more developer friendly. From standing up to their developers (Bioware), to letting their teams push back deadlines on titles that are very popular (Warhammer Online, Spore). Maybe the Grinch finally heard the singing in whoville?

Did anyone else play this without vita chambers? Every time I died, I just reloaded my last save(vita chambers seemed like a cop out).

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 17:42:31 MST

This isn't going to be a huge hit in the US, but I think this is going to be a big hit in Japan. Look at all the DS training games that have done so well over there. This isn't just a niche market anymore.

danecy commented on Did Mass Effect Crash Land?

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 18:37:24 MST

While the article makes some good points, I think the author is really looking at this from a pure RPG lens. Which is fine, as this stands up as a very well done RPG. But at the same time, it is an RPG/Action hybrid.

Suggestions, such as a larger amount of non-essential items, seem superfluous when taking on Mass Effect from a more action oriented form.

I agree the game isn't without its faults (the texture loading and screwed up vehicular physics being first and foremost on my list). However, I don't think BioWare sacrificed their vision in any way. They created a cinematic RPG experience that manages to also be quite fulfilling from an action perspective.

It's certainly my game of the year, warts and all.

@Morberis: Fallout fans may very well be the most negative I've ever seen. Maybe it's the gloomy result of all the time spent in a post apocalyptic world. Someone buy those guys Animal Crossing.

danecy commented on Wii, DS Reclaim Hardware Lead, PS3 Takes Up Rear

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 17:42:06 MST

@this_is_sparta: You act like PS2 was cheap when it came out. The truth is, gaining a massive install base like that takes years upon years combined with the right circumstances. With the competition as sturdy as it is right now, I doubt it is possible that we will ever have such a huge market share with one console this generation.

Is this a bad thing? Not persay. This competition drives down the price of hardware (good for us) and causes more studios to adopt a multi platform development cycle(just look at the general lack of big exclusives this holiday season).
