I guess you wasn't around for it's original release then. Sure, NOW it's popular, because publishers capitalized on it's cult value. I agree, it's cult status is questionable at this point, since the game got mainstream-ized. Also, I don't think "cult" means what you think it means...

It's pointless to argue what is and is not possible in video games, because it's fiction, EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. You don't even have to look far for an example, just take a look at the latest Saint's Row game. The only question is, "(how) can you justify it"? Blowing a steam pipe can happen. If...

I indeed played the bejeezus outta Uplink and other hacking games (and I did some other, uh, "extracurricular activities" back in school, like getting the admin password for the school computers and installing a bunch of games :D), and enjoyed it very much. Yes, WATCH_DOGS missed a huge...

You have to understand, that most people DO think hacking is magic. This game is for all those oblivious people. Anyone who knows even a little bit of computer security or hacking would laugh at this nonsense. But then again, this is a video game, so it's "suspension of disbelief" time...

It describes Watch_Dogs' quality the best, when instead of the open world goodies and story missions, I had the most fun with the privacy invasions and chess puzzles. Everything else was either soul-numbingly boring or tedious. All through the game I had a feeling I played this before. It's like...

Read what I wrote again. I said Crowdfunding does work flawlessly for the campaigners. It's basically online panhandling with a fancy name, zero risk, and none of the shame associated with it. It is a bubble, and if things like this Oculus-Facebook fiasco keep happening, it will burst sooner...

^^this. I'm kinda surprised this crowdfunding fad lasted as long as it did. I mean, it's friggin common sense! I jolt down some grandiose ideas and asks total strangers to finance my fever-dream, promising only some knick-knack, a place in the "special thanks" section or a skype call/dinner...

That's the very definition of an investment. Donation is when you give WITHOUT expecting anything in return. If you chip in with your money on a bigger project and promised some kind of return, that's an investment. Oculus took the money of many individuals promising an indie developed...

Do you blame them? I don't. It's 2 BILLION dollars! If the Rift people all cash in their shares, they can each buy a small island and live like kings without having to work, ever. I say good for them. As for me, Oculus is dead to me now. Anything that Facebook touches turns into an evil...

Steam desperately needs quality control with recent influx of utter garbage flooding the service. This tidal wave of sh!t has to stop! TB recently did a vlog on the subject and I mostly agree with the points he made. Greenlight (and Steam in general) became the dumping ground of publisher...

Maybe I come from a different background (barely-post-iron-curtain era Central Europe), but I never associated a game's intrinsic value with it's price tag. Maybe that's why I don't really understand the problem here. As I see it, putting a game on sale months or even years after it's...

War Z has finally been removed from Steam. How on Earth did Valve even allow that piece of garbage on Steam in the first place is beyond me. I hope they all learned from this and they will check the content they put on there in the future.

Yahtzee has a point. I mean, really, how would you imagine the end of a zombie apocalypse? Most likely everyone alive dies either to famine, disease, accidents, survivor infighting or, you know, getting chomped on by the undead. The zombies, being already dead and all, will just slowly rot away...

Correction: once someone has bought the game, they can play it however the game designer allows them to. You are not entitled to a "skip game, gimme cutscene" button. But the problem runs deeper than that. Sometimes people forget that these are games and games are meant to be played. Now, you...

that was...*snif*...beautiful!!! Give it the Crowbar? next time! Also, drop a PS3 and a Wii! (PC foreva!)
