    The Survival Horror Genre is a Mess

    I'm guessing it was because Shamus never played them, but the clock tower series is also pretty defining of the Survival Horror 'genre' but they're a bit less known.

    5 Things To Do If You Use Cutscenes in Your Video Game

    Allowing the player to wander around and stuff during conversations their characters are supposedly having is more weird than forcing them to sit still and watch it (as always allow skipping of course). People get really pissed off and annoyed when you aren't giving them your full attention...

    I thought the ending was awesome. Love this comic but rarely comment. Thanks guys for making it.

    Jimquisition: Dynasty Warriors Is The Citizen Kane Of Gaming

    I also like Dynasty Warriors. Not sure if I'd call it the Citizen Kane of gaming though... I thought Citizen Kane was a over hyped POS.

    The Common Mistakes of Horror Games

    What email does Yahtzee take fanmail for Zero/Extra punctuation? I have some stuff that I actually would like to have even a one sided conversation with him about.

    Monster Hunter Tri

    thublihnk: No need for swearing dude. I've also played Tabletop RPGs, before I even played a video game RPG, but they're not the same. Video game RPGs took one aspect, the leveling and by extension, the statistics system, from one game Dungeons and Dragons, and attempted to use it to convey a...

    Monster Hunter Tri

    You are doing what many people who want to claim a game is an RPG do. They willingly ignore the standards that make the RPG genre unique and claim that Role Playing is what is important. By that logic Halo is an RPG and you know just as well as I do that noone in their right mind would agree...

    Monster Hunter Tri

    I've been reading your replies to this thread, mostly because I'm home sick from work and bored out of my mind. I have two questions for you: 1) Are you planning on playing with a classic controller or a wiimote? If you are planning on using the wiimote don't bother your opinion will already...

    Monster Hunter Tri

    I disagree that commenting on a review is all about opinions, but since that's your view on it, all discussion in the world is just about throwing your opinions in someones face. Stating an something doesn't mean I'm trying to make my opinion yours. Either way we're done here. I'll be...

    Monster Hunter Tri

    I added that sentence because I don't like shoving my opinion down peoples throats just like I don't like having peoples opinions shoved down mine. It was there mostly as a disclaimer that no matter what I said won't make the game magically better for anyone. Sorry if that's not how you read it.

    Monster Hunter Tri

    I don't care what Yahtzee thinks and I wasn't trying to defend "my precious" game. I was informing you of the situation. I doubt Yahtzee even reads these comments. The point of my post was that you asked why they would give 50 minutes and I wanted to explain that it's just for continuity reasons.

    Monster Hunter Tri

    To be fair the 50 minute time limit is standard for quests. Whether the quest is to go there and pick 2 flowers and return (should take you like 2 minutes max) or slay Altereon the destroyer of all. The only time it's different is when they shorten it to make some quests harder. It doesn't...

    Monster Hunter Tri

    The problem is that people take his word for the words of god when it comes to video games, and to be honest I don't know why. I love his reviews, they're hilarious and often point out major flaws in the games that are interesting, but they're almost always exaggerated. All of the people here...

    Monster Hunter Tri

    If you know the monster pretty well you can tell how close to dead it is by how often your sharpness has decreased. I know that fighting a G ranked Gold Rathian in Unite with my hammer meant after two sharpens she was ready for capture.
