    In The Last of Us, Joel Had It Right

    I didn't realize there was any question about whether Joel was in the right. The collective doesn't have the right to murder an innocent individual just to save itself. Those that attempted to do so have given up any pretense of morality, thus Joel is under no obligation to treat them morally in...

    Hardcore Gamers Sticking to Retail

    Well we know this isn't true because GameStop and the like don't sell PC games anymore, just softcore console stuff. ;)

    Play Skyrim on Your Graphing Calculator

    Graphing Calculators have had games like this (and better) for years. Just because someone slaps the name Skyrim on one, now its somehow amazing? http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/405/40593.html http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/272/27218.html...

    BioWare Insists The Old Republic Is Innovative

    lol, thanks for proving my point earlier about people in this thread not reading before they post. Your question has already been answered. Good day.

    BioWare Insists The Old Republic Is Innovative

    That's all fine and dandy except I'm in the game right now in a zone with well more than that and it isn't instanced. Instance layering does exist if zones become overpopulated but that hasn't been a problem since launch. Maybe different areas have different caps, but either way you're original...

    BioWare Insists The Old Republic Is Innovative

    Story and character development does matter to many in an MMORPG. There's a reason why so many people (who don't have an axe to grind) are enjoying it. Bioware didn't just slap a story into an MMO. They had to create individualized story arcs for 8 different classes and have custom...

    BioWare Insists The Old Republic Is Innovative

    It is clear you haven't played the game Andy, as your assumptions about the game are wrong. No, its not the same. Often you'll find Y only to realize that things are not as they seem. Maybe they have a side of the story of their own and you opt not to kill them. Sometimes you will be offered...

    BioWare Insists The Old Republic Is Innovative

    This thread to date: Hater: Pfft, SWTOR didn't innovate. People who have actually played the game: *list of innovations* Hater 1 who reads previous posts: Well they should have innovated in ! Hater 2 who ignores previous posts: Pfft, SWTOR isn't innovative. WoW did everything. GW2...

    BioWare Insists The Old Republic Is Innovative

    Not one of these GW2 "innovations" are new. I have seen each one in previous MMOs. This. Technology evolves through a series of innovations. I would also posit that SWTOR at launch is more innovative than WoW was at launch. WoW didn't offer innovation (MMO veterens will recall each of...

    BioWare Insists The Old Republic Is Innovative

    Innovation doesn't mean revolution or that you can't build upon what anyone else did. It's having new ideas, new methods, and other new advances, but always building on what came before. Innovation is not invention. Most people seem to just be mad that the game didn't innovate in the places...

    BioWare Insists The Old Republic Is Innovative

    You guys are being a bit too harsh here. In fact, I would say Bioware doesn't get credit for the areas where it did innovate, instead they are just taken for granted. Yes, we all know they brought their brand of storytelling to the MMO genre, but as a side-effect of they made it so you can...
