    Non-photorealistic-graphics: a GDC panel by the Guilty Gear Xrd developers

    As an Xrd fan, the visuals alone we're enough for me to get it at after devs posted previews and trailers on Polycount. I'm fine with devs challenging the current "rush" of idiots trying to imitate movies and Ubisoft's brand of cinematic realism (heh). The problem with "realism" and...

    What do you have against The Witcher series?

    Hard to say, on my end, I found the political struggles and interesting and other aspects, but I felt a bit of the content did get in the way of the overall and mature storyline. But I'll digress with my nitpicks; I prefer things to flow in one direction or the next.

    Tekken 7 Character Excluded From U.S. Release After Negative Feedback

    I for one welcome my Pink Catgirl overlord. Beats Neogaf's childish chest thumping.

    What do you have against The Witcher series?

    Never been a fan of "darker and edgier" and "grimdark" masquerading as maturity. Other aspects of the game have kept it in my play list. I can understand the attempt at Dark Fantasy, but it's a hit or miss exercise.

    Valve Tightens Its Early Access Rules

    About damn time. I'm surprised Early Access didn't go down in flames because of a legal brouhaha.

    No Right Answer: Is Destiny Bullsh*t?

    I'm really going to say I don't know what happened with Destiny aside from a train wreck and an attempt at a strategic salvage by Bungie.

    Poll: Can pornography exist in a sexism free society?

    Porn is porn, and important, it has been held as First Amendment speech repeatedly. I think it's important to realize that while Porn maybe distasteful to some along ethical grounds, doesn't mean it should be banned. Unless its the deplorable and actually illegal stuff, then Porn has every...

    How a Family Almost Got Shot and Gassed: a Swatting Story

    If you want opinions on police militarization, look no further than Radley Balko, as for the Swatting stuff, hackers and crackers may think its fun, but egos and e-penis waving is what does them in the long run. Bragging, mockery, and Internet fame are giant ego boons, but bad for trying to...

    League of Legends Retconns its own Name, Players out of Game

    I pray they give Ahri some decent lore. If not, LoL needs to get new writers XP

    What little things in a game can make you say "No Buy?"

    My big 3 "little things" - 1) Lack of dual audio: Let's face it, a lot of dubbing is piss-poor quality. While some people demand to be a purist or dubbing elitist, my take has been the quality of the VAs involved. Shitty dubbing is my first annoyance, as is shitty voice acting in both...

    Is Warlords of Draenor worth getting back into WOW?

    WoW is over for me, despite the attempt at prolonging the game, but Draenor does seem very tempting.

    Sony plays dirty with Destiny in the UK, thoughts?

    Yay marketing bribery! Now, will Sony pay Microsoft to not advertise the PC version of Destiny?

    Should I bother with Baldur's Gate?

    @ OP: Fuck yes, it may be old, but BG was a trend setter and one of Bioware's founding cornerstones.

    League of Legends Retconns its own Name, Players out of Game

    It's difficult to create "interesting" story in the sense for MOBA games, reminds me of a Extra Credits episode where they talked about the difficulties of Lore and narrative in fast-action RTS or MOBA games.

    When Did "Girls In Games" Become Such an Issue?

    Well, Gamers have become a larger, more diverse market due to the growth of the mobile games, changes in direction, and even to an extent, rise of the Indies. Since "games" are such a vague term, it covers an incredible swath of territory and new demographics, naturally the new segments of the...
