I bet this is gonna grant a boost in sales on the other channels tho.

Dumb move, but take also in consideration how stressful it is to develop an indie game, small team, and being pushed around. I mean most of you guys work on sure-to-come-out stuff. Steam is notorious as well for this sort of fuck ups, and frankly can't understand how they happen in the first place, so many.

I remember reading of them when they had the green light mixup.

I wouldn't start porting things in the forum from docs, makes a super-general discussion more confusing.

Anyway, you have to be good writers to make something humorous. I also think that the whole setup needs to be eccentric (can't think of any better explanation) on it's own, I mean like "the common turned strange" that King uses for horror.

You making me so much wanting this game T_T

Notorious unicorns aside, I would love to see Cannon Fodder and Commandos (not in fps).

And whatta hell, maybe even a Comanche game, think there hasn't been a softcore simulator like those ever after… but not the same missions ported in different environments plz

Wooooo Vivi, i'm so surprised cos last I heard you were starting on Destiny, am I right? Congrats!

I think this is a wonderful occasion to see the good ol' Europe you're gonna enjoy!

Anyway, great story and characters. Still waiting for the movie

Some things are better not messed with Still in my list of books, which for a sci-fi junkie is a sin… but my OCD prevents me to read new books until I clear the pile I have unread.

I am ready for 24, gonna tackle after Walking Dead

Mazy is like the old Grandad of Mapcore now

He's one of the reasons I know mapcore… I interviewed him and PhilipK, Flayra and other bigs for the HLItalia portal I was editor for at the time. He also made maps for The Specialists, which has been made by a bestie of mine.Guess that stalking 'em, or because of some cross links, found the forum… stalked the community for about 10 years than joined when I decided I wanted to get back into level design and actually try to get into the industry.

Super interesting!!!

Sprony, I'm sure you know the expression "don't feed the troll". Well, you make a controversial game, feeding all the right ingredients to those advocating bans and restrictions to games… you can't expect that your life is not gonna be examined. It's wrong, but these advocates are gonna use the argument to demonstrate that the game is trying to corrupt the minds of youngsters.

I'm like HP. But I watched the trilogy on VHS, my dad had that… and loads of other good movies (I first watched Platoon when I was 12 I think).

I remember I got a bit into Star Wars at that time, then I grew up a bit, started reading sci-fi, watching Alien… and Star Wars completely lost it's appeal, I really dislike this sci-fantasy theme it has. But I generally like the ships and vehicles.

Quote from Xanthi

Difference is that GTA is so much else. The rampages (which I take occasion to remember to everyone that were rewarded in earlier chapters) act as the release that gamers need after being on edge after a few missions. it's not the focus of the gameMaybe but it's pretty violent still. You even have to torture a guy in one of the missions of GTA V. Same in sleeping dogs btw. Also some are saying the developers are neo-nazis or coming from the dark side of the moon or whatever. Really since when do we care where developers are coming from?Since one killed 77 and injured 320. Forgot already that happening?

Not saying the developers should be stopped, the critique is that they should know better.

ROFL

I'd never buy these games, but sure they make you lol.

it's a game, nothing more... I don't understand why this is different from GTA, where you can kill as many innocent people as you want without doing any mission..

I'm an horrible person, I chuckled a couple of times.

I'd happily try it, but it's the kind of game you want to get only on PSN or Games with Gold. The kind of game I can play in 30 min bursts when I really don't know what else to play or can't devote more time to a more serious game.

The kind of game you forget very soon to have in the recesses of your hard drive.

And I agree with lots of the critiques, there's a responsibility when making games, it's not proven that games (or movies) make you a psycho… but there are people convinced about that*, why give them something to talk? Also it's bad to stereotype the goth-metal loner in the role, as it's already like that in the mind of bigots (remember that it's Marylin Manson's fault the Columbine shooting?). I dunno, make him look like a white collar from Wall Street… so in the end I just think this sort of product makes things more difficult for your colleagues.

Ps: I'm an hypocrite because then I get immensely pissed off if a game forces you to kill animals, if I had to make the choice, in Splinter Cell I'd stun the dog and kill the guard.

*sometimes I do question myself to think if games alienate some kids

Point is, with the Nexus 5, that they never upgraded the phones, they always replaced them. I don't think it would be too early to upgrade it (most other vendors release new models every 6 months), or maybe they could have cut the price a little bit.

After release Ouya disappeared from the news, thought there was nothing going on there.

The Fire TV I don't see it at all as a console, how can one say that… if it was they would have called something else: it's just a way to better consume Prime content, if you are in it. And btw every review says it's way better than the Apple TV, with a voice control really working.

Gaming it's just the cherry on the top.

Those gameplay quirks are annoying, but are also the kind of thing I always wanted in games. It makes it more "realistic"… I mean, instead if having flashing objects and 2D overlays/waypoints.

Maybe I'd restrict that to the harder game setting.

Design-wise it's horrible. Size is also a no go, I still think that 4.5" >> all and vendors should offer same top hardware configs in two sizes; I'm pretty sure that if they did this whole "the bigger the better" bubble would blow up in notime.

This is gonna be about big as the iPhone 6+ according to mr geek here, but being thicker, how's gonna handle?

jackophant: landscape orientation is not at all the best way to use a phone with that aspect ratio: you can see in iPhone 6+ reviews that despite the giant screen you can barely read x3 1-line texts rofl

It's on all platforms, except Mac or Linux.

First episode of Gotham.

Predictably they couldn't resist and not even half way in they have already shown all of Batmans super-villains' origins -_- other than that show is ok, not really unmissable though. Also, for little I know of the comics (read some wikis because of the games) some backstories seem to be completely changed. And what about Barbara being a rich girl?? doesn't fit at all(?)
