There's nothing internally inconsistent about expecting developers to improve and hone their craft. Mass Effect 3 came out 5 years ago in 2012, on a previous console generation to boot. The fact of the matter is that there should be a step up in both model and animation quality compared to it as...

Tragedy requires choice to be meaningful though, otherwise it's just fatalism. Oedipus tries to outsmart fate and brings about his family's doom. Hamlet's inaction causes almost his entire court to die and leaves the Danish crown to a Norwegian prince. Willie Lowman chooses to have an affair and...

No they're not. 1) No legally binding contract can be signed by a minor (and many minors do sign off on EULAs). 2) As was mentioned previously, legally binding contracts need to be signed, normally with multiple signatures, dates, and witness signatures to make them legally binding. One of the...

Wouldn't it be ableist considering that it's about Jensen having prosthetic limbs rather an issue of skin colour?

Wait, what? How can you have a WW1 game without two thirds of the freakin Triple Entente?! That's like having a WWII game without Germany.

Perpetual maintenance isn't necessarily a sign of something being junk. Most complex vehicles (ships, aircraft, etc) are in states of perpetual maintenance because of the large number of moving parts in their design. Simple put: these things can easily break in small ways, which can be disastrous.

You're doing a bit of "hyping up" yourself LifeCharacter. Luke isn't shown to be the best pilot in the Rebellion, he only survived the trench run because Han came back and saved his life. He successfully uses the force once, to guide a difficult shot, which is the culmination of his character...

In fairness, when Finn suggests using the Falcon as an escape vehicle, Rey calls it a piece of junk and thinks it's not worth their time. Someone who knows about the Falcon and it's capabilities would never say that. Now I know it's supposed to be a call back to Luke's line in the original...

Batman believed Superman was dangerous yes, but at the same time he saw Superman actively save people in BvS and in the 2 year gap between it and MoS. Trying to rationalize his viewpoint with Superman's actions (and a lack of Kryptonite weapons) is why he doesn't actually try to fight Superman...

Considering that Civil War isn't out yet, how do you know this? I haven't seen anything in the Marvel canon giving us reasons for why they'd want to fight each other. The closest thing is the fight between Iron Man and Cap in Avengers 2, but that conflict is completely resolved by the end of the...

I'm not sure about this. For one, it would mean getting rid of Watchmen and anything published under Vertigo. Two, the 80s and 90s are still a part of the characters' history and not all of the stories from that period are bad. What you're saying sounds more like "be only the parts of you that I...

It's the best superhero movie I've seen since The Dark Knight and I'm including the entire Marvel canon in that category. I love the cinematography, and the effects work. I also like how the film makers took risks in how it portrayed the characters. They humanized Superman in a great way...

No, you have no idea what other people are or are not comfortable with. I myself am a straight male and have no problem with male dancers. That's like saying I (as a straight man) should be uncomfortable with classical sculptures because of all the male nudity.

Honestly the fear of direct press releases killing games journalism should tell us what kind of state games journalism is in. If a site is so terrified they'll go out of business from not publishing press releases then they're not even journalists, they're just a third party marketing company.

Edit: Managed to fix it. Simply took the HDMI cord and changed which end was plugged into the TV and which was plugged into the PS3. Honestly I have no idea why that worked. Hello So, I got an HD tv recently and I've been trying to hook up my PS3 to it. I succeeded in making it work at...
