I wish they had announced this sooner. I just bought it for PS3 because I was under the impression that the PC edition would be a plain ol' port. http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/5251069024/m/8591064287

I'll take Ryu and his hot ass any day over the gals. Yet, I remain a man.

I hope we get to see *his* ass. I'll play for that. I don't really like the whole womanizer-machismo thing though. So cliche...

I've had someone move seats away from me on the train before in Japan, for no obvious reason except that I was a tall white foreigner guy. Is there really such a leap from xenophobic to racist? From my gaijin experiences, there seems to be a certain attitude towards foreigners.

Tasteful doesn't mean censorship, it means with artistic or literary purpose. The sex scene may work, though I get the impression that they are not managing the eroticism with purpose, which means it's probably very unsatisfying. In good eroticism, the sex scene is climatic. Everything up to...

I'm a bit skeptical that sex was just the baggage of including romantic relationships. Sex is not something that writers have to force out in order to exclude. There is arguably an art of implying sex without showing it--something that really developed in film during the days of the Hays...

I would also like to emphasize that there are other cost-cutting approaches to making games while maintaining good narrative. For example, episodic gaming, which provides a quicker feedback loop and allows developers to recycle and improve existing technology and content.

The OP doesn't seem to care for stories in video games, but I wouldn't be so dismissive. Games have their own unique interactive approach to video games. Sure, games are only beginning to get into it (e.g., Heavy Rain, Mass Effect), but it cannot be overlooked. Stories have effects within a...

If you haven't seen Brokeback Mountain then how can you have any confidence in your opinion of it? It was the most honored film of 2005. It won 4 Golden Globes and some other very prestigious awards. I think it actually won more Best Picture and Director awards than Schindler's List and Titanic...

Gay people can properly raise a child, they just can't create one. Even if gay people don't make it into space, they'll pop up there anyway, because some of the people born will turn out to be gay. So how can there be no gay in space? Also, if there was a very important person with some very...

Good job misinterpreting my entire post. :D I was't complaining about not being able to make babies. I also wasn't blaming anyone for that. I don't even WANT anything growing in my colon, thank ye. My point was that gay people contribute to society in ways other than reproduction in the...

I admit I was being melodramatic, but I think there's still irony in how people argue that games are art or belong alongside film and literature but only approach it as "business." Business is all about risk-aversion and because of that, it's stagnant. In that kind of environment, games will go...

I don't know if "broad axes and decapitation" are really much of an expansion. Franchises such as Silent Hill and Manhunt are more "super violent worlds" than Brutal Legend, I'm sure. However, I do agree that games need to break out of their genres more--thematic genres in particular. Heavy Rain...

Everyone making a big deal out of the input lag: What did the OP actually say? "But these faults hardly detracted from the overall experience..." "...if their hardware continues to perform at the level it did last week - then OnLive very well could be the paradigm shift in gaming that...

Because gays cannot contribute anything to society if they can't have kids. =_= Gee thanks. I don't care that BioWare isn't including orientation labels in their games. I get frustrated at labels too. What concerns me is that while this is OK, if they also intentionally do not include any...
