In regards to the thing about First Person Perspective being more immersive, I find that Third Person Perspective can be just as immersive. That being said, I greatly prefer First Person Perspective in many 3D games. Third Person Perspective means that I cannot see some things that my...

The Xbox-one is -to the best of my knowledge- not the Atari Jaguar. Also, presumably the Xbox-one will not die as easily as the 360. Also, it means that the original xbox should now be called something like the 'xbox-classic' or 'original xbox' in order to prevent confusion between it and the...

It is pretty much a given that Hollywood is going to get science, tech, and details about culture and subcultures wrong much more often then they get them right. Part of this is because of what is referred to as the 'coconut effect', though others are just because most people with knowledge of...

I tend to read text aloud if there is no voice acting, crack personal jokes, say extra bits of dialouge with the npcs (either as myself or as the characters), and call my character an idiot and berate him for doing something when I would do something much different (usually because I think in...

Like anything, cutscenes can be done well, and they can be done poorly. Sturgeon's law is in effect here just as much as anywhere else. Cutscenes can serve as a way to progress in the narrative of a game, get the player psyched up for climactic gameplay moments, or serve as a breather to get...

Well, it is not a word I would ever use (for several obvious reasons.) But I far prefer the term 'otaku' over 'weeaboo' or 'wapanese'. Why can't we just call ourselves (me and other anime fans I mean, not everyone on the excapist, because that would be odd) anime fans, or people that like anime?

Not a whole lot, I have today off and can't think of a whole lot to do (well, I can think of quite a few things that I should be doing, but I am lazy...), and I happened to wander in to the escapist forums. I wish you good luck on the job interview.

Not very easily, because I rarely visit forums. Mainly because it is rare that I have something to say that hasn't already been said. Or I don't feel like wading through page after page to see if it has already been said.

How so? It is all just proportions. What I mean is that if a DLC costs one-sixth of the price of the full game, ideally it should have one-sixth of the content. However it is perfectably understandable if it has less. Sixty hours is just an arbitrary value because it looks nice with $60, and...

I never really liked the idea of downloadable-content, but I can see rather interesting oppurtunities for it. Downloadable content allows a game developer to release a game, and then receive feedback from their consumers. They could then tailor the downloadable-content accordingly. The DLC...

May I ask why it should be cured? Having a lolita fetish is not the same as paedophilia or hebophilia, it is extremely improbable that you would become a child molester just by viewing lolicon material. No one is harmed in the production, or viewing, and no one is harmed afterwards, because...

As long as something does not cause harm to real people I'm fine with it. Whether lolicon causes any harm is debatable, but, like with violent videogames, I've yet to see any compelling arguments to support the hypothesis that it is indeed harmful. I find that many of the things that are...

Poison, if done well in a game (so that it actually does something), or anything that does damage over a long period of time. There is nothing quite like standing back and watching a guard die while looking for you after hitting them only a few times with the poison. And there is also nothing...

Well Nintendo, you might as well have just said something like "The members of our design team are placing bets on how soon you guys can crack this. Please crack it as soon as you can." Perhaps Nintendo should have their design team start making extendable bear pokers instead.

1: Either make a lot more combat lines, or make enemy npcs stop spouting them at every oppurtunity. 2: Being something of a blunt weapons user (me and like 11 other people, probably), I would like blunt weapons to have different sounds when hitting enemies. A satisfying crack when hitting an...
