Yeah, attack the escapist review, because it doesn't share your opinion of the game, as do quite a lot of the population. Classic shooting? Ok, heres what I've got from the demo (you know, what's supposed to sell me the game, not make me cancel my pre-order) *It takes far too many...

'OMFG the word 'Kotick' is in the name! I must make sarcastic comments and pledge to buy whatever game he's not involved with!' Did anyone even read what Kotick just said? His doubt comes from the lack of console footage. Given that EA higher ups have been shouting from the rooftops that...

Have you not considered that this limit is a method of giving you advantages and disadvantages? For example in pretty much any COD, Battlefield, whatever, equipping the sub machinegun means you're ruthless in close quarters and have flexibility of automatic fire over the shotgun rival class, but...

I'd just like to mention Phantasy Star Online; Of each magic capable class the females usually had more skill and higher limits than males did (so the close combat female would have more magic skill and capability than her male counterpart, but the tradeoff was strength, admittedly the Hunter...

I think it's a brilliant business decision; this kind of cosmetic content is fairly easy and inexpensive to make, which means they can make a ton of them with varied themes to appeal to different tastes. Obviously, no one can or even should buy all of them, thats insanity. Instead the mentality...

This is kind of what I mean, its those people that won't be getting fired; its the lower end that will feel the brunt of it as they are much more expendable. Although this is fairly common, its those people who have to work hardest which is why I was fairly irked by a few of the responses here...

'Hi, my name is Sebastian and I used to work for a developer known as Kaos Studios as an <insert lower end job here, that is to say low paid salary with more overtime than you can imagine> Hoewever, due to overhype/executives doing their jobs/overspeculation from the audience, I am one of the...

6.5/10 Although genuinely fun in parts, there are so many design decisions and bugs that spoil the experience. Not being able to jump? I can tolerate that, until the player gets based onto a static mesh and becomes trapped. The sniper rifle is incredibly fiddly and the most boring gun in the...

Well, lets think for a moment: I define good visuals as: Being able to see what's actually going on A high and consistent framerate No visual errors and finally the visuals being able to describe the mood and setting of the game, wearing it as a badge of personality. The succeeders here...

Demo basically signaled that it was a choppy game with poor gameflow, with the only relatively impressive tidbit being the water physics. At no point was it engaging, immersive or even entertaining. A demo is supposed to sell the game to those curious enough to tread near, Hydrophobia showed...

I can't believe no one's mentioned the Giggle Loop. We have examples, but not how it actually works: <youtube=-iKjkPgVQcE>

I know I write a lot, I need to learn to summarise a bit better. Although the milestones are still in place, a lot of weapons are only acquired through either the item drop or buying them. I don't have time to log in and clock hours of game time (hell I had over 700 hours of TF2 before...

Thats an ignorant statement at best and at worst an unwarranted hatred of something I'm guessing is related (ED). I take it you've never actually been on 4chan, and are probably thinking of 12chan or 7chan instead. Go on 4chan and click video games. Notice the lack of pedophilia, but the...

I found the game incredibly enjoyable before they introduced random drops, crafting and micro transactions. What the game had was a sensible level of balance, classes with a limited array of weapons that were fun to use and the only reason to play it was to actually enjoy yourself. Now I...

Can I just remind you that a game developer is made of several teams dedicated to their own subject of expertise? Would you cast away the 3D modellers and Concept Artists (the people who actually make the assets you need) and try to hire more designers and theorists instead? Since the modellers...
