"Consoles will soon be niche..." Oh, because PC tech is advancing faster than consoles can be manufactured cost effectively, and Nintendo "Fun for the whole family" style kinect stuff will be the niche. "... because it's too hardcore". WELP. :|

Lol, I was going to sign up since I want to play D3 for free to confirm that I'll hate it as much as D2, but I know literally none of the answers! I guess this is proof that I should just leave a beta key for someone that would play it for more than 5 mins...

I don't really care about Mass Effect and Bioware's games outside of SWTOR are basically shit right now, but I have to say he sort of just changed my mind about Day 1 DLC in about a single sentence. Explaining that a game goes Gold, then the dev team kind of just waits around for 3 months...

I bought a genesis pack just for Shinobi 3 and the Shadow ninja wolf game. I also got Gunstar heroes. Considered Napoleon Total War as it's the only one on steam I don't have... but after playing Empire for a few mins a couple days ago and remembering how that was.... I was fine passing it up.

I only use my Index fingers for shoulder button hitting use. I just alternate. I've stopped playing games before, or played differently, if they require both at once like MoH Airborne. I never understand how people can double-finger it. My grip on the controller is too light if I do that.

I am a huge proponent of PC gaming, but I will be the first to admit that the Consoles do some genres better, PC does others better. If it's a 3rd person adventure game, I want it on my PS3. Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, God of War... I would never want to play them on my PC. I could get along...

Its weird to me to think there are people below the age of 30 that had a game like this. I can't remember a time when my life wasn't almost entirely about video games. I played Super Mario Bros. in my mom's lap just about since I was born, and started playing myself at around 3. I know I played...

Stronghold pack and Inside a Star Filled Sky. I was waiting to see if either went on super sale, like Sanctum did (which I bought the other day)

Haha, I have watched a decent amount of it. I liked it quite a bit. I love taking game characters and fleshing them out way more than they were intended to be. Since that's what I do whenever I play a game myself.

You know, it's all about power. In Halo, your a super soldier, and the men around you are regular guys. You feel you must take on the burden of keeping them alive, for you have the power to do so. But in Half-life 1, after the alien sheit hits the trans-dimensional fan at Black Mesa, I...

This is a pretty good thread. I actually like knowing that there are people out there that can feel compassion for these bits of code. I'm the kind of guy that, while not always "good", I can't be an evil character for long the way most games make you play. Infamous is the best example...

Its been the growing trend over the last 10ish years to focus on combat combat combat combat. In every game type, but RPGs show it the worst. I blame the rise of Multiplayer, as games have to appeal to the lowest common attention span of a group of players. It's even bleeding into Tabletop...

Steambot Chronicles. Here the wiki, because you didn't play it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steambot_Chronicles That game was so cool... I guess it introduced me to Steampunk, waaaaay before it was popular. The other is Valkyria Chronicles, although I think it's sales picked up slowly...

I definitely am in the same boat as OP. I hit about 25-30 in any MMO and just fizzle out. And then I hear people complaining about how easy it is to level in X game and my mind is just boggled. I mean, it's not like MMO's are a HARD genre... they are just SOOOOOO time consuming. And I find it...

My example would be Shadow of the Colossus. Aside from great gameplay, it had a very subtle (until the end) but very powerful story that you mostly have to infer for yourself. Storytelling of that kind very rarely is successful in non-interactive media. IMO the average gamer's approach to...
