Absolutely not. If there end up being amazing games released for it, then I'll happily buy it, but my loyalty to Nintendo as a developer fizzled out many years ago.

I liked it. I understand that this opinion makes me something of an outlier, but the contrast between the historical world and the sci-fi present set both off nicely. Also, the conflict between the Assassins and Templars being essentially the same in both tied the two periods together well.

I like Jim more and more with each passing week. Keep up the good work!

So it's the basically the previous game, being sold at the same price, only with less stuff in it... So that's why Nintendo are so rich! [/joke]

In short: "yes, they're getting there". Sadly.

This "fit" the atmosphere of the game so very well, and had a nicely understated "funk" element. Great work. ... now I'm off to replay DX-HR!

Just throwing out a few names which sprang to mind: Mojang (Minecraft) Supergiant Games (Bastion) Frictional Games (Amnesia) CD Project Red (GoG)

"Well thought out" does not equal "objectively correct". People can think and argue all they like, but if they refuse to consider perspectives and statistics which contradict their opinion, they're essentially acting as their own echo chamber rather than actually engaging in an informed debate...

Because Americans suddenly become stupid the instant someone utters the word "freedom". Seriously, in my experience, Americans will defend and protect almost anything no matter how dangerous, ridiculous, or unfair it is simply on the grounds of "we're the land of the free and people must have...

Dark Souls is the closest thing to perfection that I have played. Ico, Bastion and Ikaruga all get honourable mentions though. For me Dark Souls is so special because even the things which would be imperfect in other games are almost perfect within the Dark Souls universe. The merciless...

That's pretty spectacular, "GG" to both you and the store-owner!

On MovieBob's recommendation I watched the 1983 version of Hercules which is truly, spectacularly, bad and stupid. There is a point in the film where he THROWS A BEAR INTO SPACE. Surely it's worth watching for that alone? Also, try the Bill and Ted's... movies. They are stupid but really...

I voted for Alyx, because she seems so real. I still remember, vividly, the moment that Gordon first meets her in Half-Life 2 and we see the source engine's (at the time impressive) ability to animate faces: I found myself thinking "wow! she looks... human" On reflection, I think that she...

Yes, I would welcome a Breath of Fire return. They were well-made, interesting games that were consistently fun.

Jim just keeps getting better and better, keep up the good work! OT: Nice to see EA getting the kicking that they deserve, but people do keep buying their products, so nothing will really change.
