One reason and one alone: the almost contractual obligation of developers to include motion controls in their games, even if the game didn't lend itself to them. The weaker hardware, the shovelware, the "your grandma's playing Wii-Whatever" really didn't matter in the bigger picture. The only...

Are you sure? About the phrasing, at least-- Counter-Strike started as a mod, as did both Team Fortress games (Quake and the Classic remake). Vanilla Elder Scrolls is absolute balls, games like the "Vampire The Masquerade" series or the Falcon 4.0 simulator have been supported by modders long...

What "5-year-gap"?? What do you think his site and his videos are? They don't go into his portfolio? Every entertainer of every flavor works like that. What kind of myopic technocratic mindset is this?

That was exactly my point. You get to choose what you condone and what you take offence to. You don't get to decide what is universally right and wrong and whether or not people have to the right to say what they want. You get to judge Spoony, because of his joke, but you don't get to expect an...

Your (1) does. It seems baffling to me how people are quick to point out Spoony's extremely unprofessional behaviour, but nobody picks up on Lupa's. You do not dig up months-old-shit and make a "hollier-than-thou" statement against another colleague. Normally you don't even do that when the...

Shut your ears and turn your attention elsewhere. Who the hell is Lupa, you or me, for that matter, to decide what people should or shouldn't say? If CA thought Spoony's conduct was problematic for the business, they were right to let him go, but "professionalism" is not something any party...

Yeah, nobody is blameless, Spoony's a fruit-bunny, he needs help etc. etc. etc. CA was right to let him go if they thought him a liability-- they are a business, nobody should expect anything different. But I have to side with him on the dispute with his former colleagues, for one reason...

What bullocks. Not only is their article unclear on the specifics of the study, but the one thing they do specify is suspect. Ten-hours-a-day playing games over two freaking weeks? Even if that sample group stood up and started banging the walls it should be expected. If they were playing Tetris...

It's not ignorance. I highly doubt they don't know the reality of piracy. It's not unlike what they're trying to do with second-hand purchases now; they relied on Gamestop's rotten business model and suddenly they've vilified the consumer who looks for an affordable product. The only reason they...

It holds up. The biggest problem is with the visuals, but there are tons of mods to counter that. As for everything else, if you don't like it now, chances are you wouldn't have liked it back then either. So, if your question is whether or not it has aged well, it has aged just fine; a hell...

While I certainly don't hate it, it does piss me off. Though it's not because it isn't like Oblivion; quite the opposite. It's too much like Oblivion. Every problem I had with that game persists (even if a number of them are lessened). Also, inexcusable stability and poor technical job...

The ending of the campaign, though the segment you mention is pretty high up there.

I'd like to point out here that, while this is the consensus, I'm not sure it holds up anymore. My 250 bucks PC runs pretty much everything (albeit with the settings dropped considerably). They don't look great, but they play fine. With 50 extra bucks spent on the graphics card, I'd be pretty...

Played both PC and PS3 versions. The PC version was more stable and looked better. Over the course of my playthrough on the PS3 I had to hard-reset the console at least five times, which is one of my biggest pet peeves. The only issue with Skyrim on the PC are the extremely console-oriented...

I've stayed out of the conflict so far, but I have yet to see something to paint the Stormcloaks under any half-way positive light, besides a couple of sob stories. I don't know; maybe the game waits to surprise me with Ulfric's love for puppies in the third act.
