What type of company settles for second place? What type of person doesn't want to be first? Plus, this is sort of saying: "Yeah, it probably isn't as good as WoW but we're okay with that." And that's the wrong message to send to customers. That's why Valve rock so much; if anything they do...

Meh. I don't care for hats or for arena. As most have said, I'd rather them finish the class updates first. And for those that don't have the Orange Box for the PC; er... why? It's the best thing I've ever bought.

Dungeon Keeper! Syndicate Wars! Populous! Magic Carpet! Please!

The Total War series, Bioshock, Civ 4, any turn-based game actually. EVE Online, aswell. Oh, and Company of Heroes. I know the game is great, but I just can't get into it.

Read my post and the person I quoted. I love RP servers, and would never even attempt to play an MMORPG without one. But the state of the WoW RP servers is an example of how Blizzard have left them be, and possibly one of their main downfalls as a company for me. They keep the names in check...

Oh yes, I know how horrible the RP servers are. One of the reasons I quit WoW, actually. But they can be good to their customers. They've always responded to my complaints and GM queries. They're one up from CCP for making a game that is actually fun.

I've heard of CCP being very nice to community, often taking on their ideas and implementing them in-game. They're a very nice company, and this news post proves that absolutely. They're up there with Valve and Blizzard, I'd say. It's just a shame that I find EVE to be like having a second...

Half-Life 2, definitely. At least on that, you can't run around killing things with one weapon all the way through the game, as I did on Bioshock. Plus, it doesn't pretend to be a game that is isn't (Bioshock is not a RPG, at all).

The CoD series (same old, same old) The Halo series (over-hyped, but not a bad game per-say), WoW (more addictive than fun), Fallout 3 (average gameplay with a rubbish ending), Bioshock (I played the game through using only the wrench, and no RPG elements). I don't understand why a lot of...

"No, it isn't being delayed! It's on time! Everyone shut up!" "Oh wait. Yeah... it is delayed." Heh, it makes me laugh. There's probably a deeper reason than what most of us are thinking, but clearly there's some bad communication going on.

Them last two paragraphs were the best out of them all. Well said, Yahtzee, and now I can understand why people dislike the casual gamer. I would sure like to see Nintendo make a new franchise, something similar to Psychonauts (gameplay and comedy-wise) and bring their old ones back to what...

Valve do rock, and this just proves it. I, personally, won't buy L4D2 unless they can cross-play it or unless they reduce the price for people that own L4D1 (this would only work on the PC, of course, but Valve tend to reduce prices for PC players vs. 360 players; just look at the DLC for...

I feel that some strategies that are un-intended or unbalanced can get annoying, and if you are going to exploit them, then don't do it forever and ever. But I occasionally use exploits in multiplayer games to my advantage, but I try not to ruin other's fun by doing it. I think once you're...

I sometimes make characters that have some of the same features of myself (the sexy ones, of course); blue eyes, blonde hair, tall and slim, with massive masculine muscles that could beat the crap out of any... actually I'm pretty weedy. But I don't try to make them look like me, because...

I have no sympathy for this guy, and those that do... I don't really know what to say about you. Yeah, I guess he needed help, but he never seeked help... he seemed quite intelligent, too. He had his own views on the world and was happy to announce them in a diary. But I have my own views on...
