That chart looks highly suspicious to me. They are claiming that AMD are going to release new GPUs with larger die sizes for less than the previous iterations? Smells like bovine faeces to me.

Yeah, I'm currently playing Blood Money for the first time and while it's a lot of fun I have wondered why people were complaining about the bad taste in Absolution when it's predecessor is so...
Besides the fact that even relatively simple turn-based PC games are often vastly more complex than you could reasonably manage as a board game, whereas game narratives tend to be much simpler than...
The idea in my head was a game where the story the player ends up with is based on the limited information they find in the environment, potentially causing different players to come up with very...
Agreed. That was more a suggestion on how it could be improved than how it actually works.
Because IMO while linear story works well in non-interactive media the fact that the player has the...
And just to be clear, this is the bit in the OP that I agree with wholeheartedly:
I don't see the need to entirely do away with text (or exposition), but the issue is both the quality of the...
But wouldn't both of those be better categorised as Interactive Fiction or a Visual Novel. What exactly makes them game-like?
If a game tells a worthwhile story in a way that is is genuinely not...
That was probably a bad example but I'll try to explain. The issue I have with game like Mass Effect is that they are transparently a linear narrative with limited gameplay inserted between the...
I believe it, I just have trouble understanding it. Clearly we are just dead opposite in terms of what we enjoy in games because for me game stories are at best a means of justifying what the...
But what's the point of a game that has mediocre game-play but an excellent narrative? Why bother making it a game at all? Why not a TV show or a film, or if it has to be interactive Interactive...
I agree with him, RPG stories in particular are utter toss. If you are playing them for the story I would suggest that would get considerably more from reading a book.

Utterly destroyed in fact. I just had no idea what strategy to take on that map, which is pretty stupid since I chose it.

But CoD != all of gaming. If his point was that shooters aren't worth playing anymore he might have a point (though I still think he'd be wrong).
There is more diversity and a larger number of...
Has it occurred to you that maybe you just don't like videogames anymore? Because honestly there are tons more amazing games to play than there ever has been and many more than I will ever have time...
If there's a drop out I'm game. All of the other game I'm in seem to have died.
Shit, sorry! I'd forgotten I'd signed up for this and then when I checked I used the old spreadsheet. I'm afraid I'm on holiday this weekend so there's no chance of me finishing any of my games.
I...
Yeah, seems pretty dead, sorry. I've got bored of having to email people to get the game going.
I'll join in another if you're having one though.
New turn is up.
May I assume that you AI'd me? Or are you waiting?
Except that I don't have turns from duff or easy.
That's nothing compared to the feeling you get when you power it on for the first time and get some horrible error. Usually it's only a cable I forgot to plug in though :)
Yes, sorry for the additional delay. The next turn will be up around lunchtime today.
