You aren't the only one - I was also extremely disappointed by B:I (as others in this thread also are). The combat was dull and the narrative papers over any attempt at building a consistent narrative by bringing in 90% of the game's key plot points through trans-dimensional / time travel (it...

Like they did with APB. And Tablua Rasa. And The Sims Online. And the Matrix Online. So unfortunately that's a terrible main rule. More MMOs have been released on the PC than any other platform and more MMOs have died on the PC than for any other platform. As for this...

One problem I have with this is that too many people view Kickstarter as the end of the process ("Yay, we got Kickstarted!") and not the start. Kickstarter is a fund-raising platform, not a content delivery platform. It matters a lot less about how a title gets funded than what it actually...

It's meant to be action combat (not turn based) but I believe it adheres closer to the 4th Ed rules overall. However, only 5 character classes at launch I believe. I'll take the 'hundreds' as a bit of hyperbole, but the number of MMOs announced and launched have dropped off substantially...

Also, the TorrentFreak article points out that even the copies hosted on the Pirate Party website have been taken down. Chalk's article is fine. Schramm's representatives - the ones she signed the contract with - are out fighting the piracy of her book. Schramm appears to have only publically...

None of these changes are particularly strong extra protections for pledgers.

This must be the first Randy Pitchford article you've read. My favourite was his, "We're surprised that more companies haven't tried to clone Borderlands, not that we want them to" post a little while back. Or everything he said about DNF. It also appears that Pitchford is unaware of the...

My captcha is 'fair play'. That's a pretty good summary of what we should be aiming for. A modicum of respect between gamers regardless of other factors.

A piracy rate that is a ratio of sold copies to pirated copies does need to factor in the number of copies sold, and I think that works as a comparative measure. That kind of ratio balances out a title that has lower sales but the same rate of piracy, whereas if you are taking the absolute...

To be fair, he's an equal opportunity puncher of all people with mental illnesses, not just clowns.

"For example, I have never been in favour of the process introduced in the Silent Hill movie (and repeated in all Silent Hill games since) wherein the real world transitions visibly into the dark, symbolic Otherworld by way of decay spreading out or paint flaking off from a single starting...

It's Rockstar's fault for including the potential to do it. That a player could do it is reason enough to consider it as an issue. As such (and from memory) GTA was censored to remove the ability to hire prostitutes for sale in Australia. Also, Fallout 3 had its drugs renamed so that they...

Jacobs believes in the future of sub-based MMOs so much he's just opened a casual and mobile games studio that will (in all likelihood) heavily rely on RMT for revenue. Does the man even think before he opens his mouth?

The real Duke Nukem didn't need 3D. And he had to get close to the enemies because otherwise they'd go off the side of the screen and he couldn't see them any more. Also: Aye. Gearbox appeared happiest releasing information that would generate controversy and relying on how Duke was such an...

"That means that the future of consoles has to lie in one of the lesser aspects, such as the controller or the visual." The controller and visuals are hardly lesser aspects to any game or console compared to console hardware or third party titles. I also disagree that 3D or motion...
