I feel you're telling this to the wrong person. You're replying to specific articles, to specific pictures, to a specific viewpoint, instead of replying to me. Read more

There are a number of huge games with haired main characters and nobody complains, some are even praised for their graphics. Uncharted, GTA games, every game that lets you create you appearance (Mass Effect, Fallout), Beyond Two Souls, Metal Gear Solid 4, Elizabeth (Booker has hair too but you spend the entire time… Read more

I used to work offshore, I'd be in the middle of the ocean where the Internet connection was crap and filtered and I'd still access Steam from there and still use offline mode on a crappy laptop. Read more

It isn't technical limitations. Hair is possible, many characters have hair. Besides it isn't the baldness that determines things, it's a whole load of things about the characters. Read more

Games today are professional products. Every aspect of their presentation, from box art to trailers, are agonised over by teams of artists and designers. When you see a game's title displayed on a cover, chances are it's using a font that's been designed just for that game. Read more

I think it's just everyone wanting free stuff they think is cool. That doesn't mean the game is overpriced. It's free stuff man, that's more than" price becomes affordable". Read more

You should still be able to access your games. I was able to. I got angry a bit at Steam's DRM though, while it was like this. At some point even the chat functions went of, so I tried giving Orcs Must Die 2 another shot (it isn't working on my PC) and the game wouldn't start, some problem to do with trying to sync… Read more

Are you sure PC parts sales are down? I read that PC sales in general are down, but that doesn't follow for Nvidia and AMD sales. It's just that people are getting tablets and notebooks instead of desktop computers to browse the Internet. Read more

Yep. A third thing I'd add is developers feeling the need to go as multiplatform as possible, so now a lot of big games get released on PC. Back in the PS2 days it dominated the market, apparently games weren't as expensive, so a lot of developers were comfortable catering only to the PS2 audience. This gen, pricier… Read more

Holding PC games back is I think an exaggeration, specially if you base that on games that aren't on Steam, which aren't many. Read more

Very passingly related, almost not related.

Your username and saying Batman has very weird social issues make me think you're joking. Read more

I gave you a star and a comment just to make you happy to see those notifications. Read more

I played without the light cues. Without the sound cues the game becomes even worse because it becomes "press X everywhere". The problem aren't the presence of light and sound cues. The problem was that the game chose arbitrary items on each investigation scene. Some items made sense, others were put for distraction. Read more

STAT | $200 million—The total amount of money that's gone towards game projects on the crowdfunding website since the beginning; games account for 22% of all projects. Read more

They aren't optional. They are clutter, and you have to find the correct one among the clutter, which isn't necessarily fun because the process doesn't require much deduction, it requires just trying them out one by one. Read more

The buildings and structures, to some extent, yes, but in the rest of the sentence I explain that the problem are the NPCs. This happened because the game was rushed/ran out of money. Read more

I was very disappointed by it and I thought it was going to be great. A lot went wrong in that game. There was no point to the open world, and the city was poorly realized because the game was rushed. They actually didn't want the player moving around too much because the NPCs on the street do almost nothing. Read more

Oh look at that it happened again. I got the link from here Read more

How weird, I put this link there
