PixelJunk Shooter 2 'in full production,' demo of Shooter 1 next week (Joystiq)

May 19th 2010 8:12PM Jerry,

If you didn't buy and play Mass Effect just because it didn't have a demo, you sir, are a complete idiot. That isn't an opinion, it's a damn fact.

It's one of the best games to ever grace the 360 and it's childish to think you have to try everything before you buy it. Do you get mad at McDonald's for not giving you free samples of hamburger? Do you get mad at gas stations for not letting you try a small amount of their gas for free?

If you follow a games previews, reviews screenshots and videos you ought to be able to know whether or not you'll enjoy a game. It's just stupid to ignore some of the best games ever made just because you're gonna go pout in a corner about not getting your precious little demo.

Next Red Faction to be unveiled 'later this month' (Joystiq)

May 6th 2010 12:43PM Guerrilla was either the 3rd or 4th in the series. I believe you can already consider it a franchise by this point, except that Guerrilla has more of a re-imagining.

First screens from Fallout: New Vegas surface, feature glorious beards (Joystiq)

Mar 8th 2010 10:01AM @TonicBoy

If using the same engine on a new game is your way of classifying it as a genuine sequel versus a "glorified expansion", then the Unreal Engine would like a word with you about its 100s of games.

Bethesda has outright said that you wouldn't be seeing much of anything new gameplay and mechanic-wise until they release Fallout 4. It's pretty much what Call of Duty or GTA are doing with their series. Make a numbered one, then have a couple spin offs.

Prince of Persia SNES included with The Forgotten Sands on Wii (Joystiq)

Feb 24th 2010 9:32PM Makes perfect sense considering the SNES version will support equal fidelity as the Wii version.

Sam's having a terrible day in this new Splinter Cell: Conviction trailer (Joystiq)

Feb 22nd 2010 12:17PM How many minutes have you been a fan of gaming sites to just now realize that they give out spoilers like Ritalin to an annoying kid?

You had to have known they'd say SOMETHING about the game to justify a post for it.

Brock Lesnar makes the cover of UFC Undisputed 2010 (Joystiq)

Feb 6th 2010 9:00PM Too bad his neck couldn't make it on the cover either. Where is that thing?

Bioware: 'Mass Effect is for the PC and Xbox 360' (Joystiq)

Feb 3rd 2010 11:32PM @roger

Do you know how to read? I clarified that I don't give a shit who owns the rights to whatever game. The point is PS3 owners clamor for 360 exclusives and then bitch when they don't get them.

That's all I was getting at, I don't care who is 1st or 3rd party, I don't care who published or distributed the game. I don't even care who got laid off post-release of any games. Use your reading comprehension and a little common sense before you get in my face about something entirely non-related to my post.

Bioware: 'Mass Effect is for the PC and Xbox 360' (Joystiq)

Feb 3rd 2010 11:07PM Okay, shit let's get overly technical about the question. I don't care who owns rights to the games, my point is PS3 owners go on and on about their exclusives and then bitch when they don't get the 360 exclusives. I just don't see it even half as much when it goes the other way.

It turns me off to the idea of ever getting a PS3 when I see how whiny everyone is about it. That just tells me, "Maybe it's an inferior product" or maybe the games on it aren't as good if everyone is clamoring for 360 games. That's all I'm saying.

Bioware: 'Mass Effect is for the PC and Xbox 360' (Joystiq)

Feb 3rd 2010 10:39PM Why are PS3 fanboys so adamant about this game coming to their console of choice, yet when a 360 fanboy says "I'd sure like to play Uncharted", they quickly get responses like "LOL, n ur dreamz!"

I see it just as likely to go either way. I don't know why people are so defensive. Mass Effect 2 is the best game I've ever played in my life, it deserves to be played by as many people as possible.

New Brink video shows how to customize your lanky, lanky character (Joystiq)

Jan 18th 2010 8:04PM Ouch, then no need try and burn me, you're doing that to yourself enough.
