I think it should happen in all kinds of games. Imagine the Diablo 3 male barbarian in the "Chains of Destruction Banana hammock".

I honestly don't care and I don't pay attention to stuff like that in games. They are, after all, just games. My only gripe is when less armor for some reason means more armor.

This is related.

To be honest, it's a work of fiction that revolves around magic. I don't think questioning the logic of magic design means much when the clothes themselves give you magical powers. It's like in Dark Souls when a magical earing gives you +10 in defense. No it wouldn't actually work on real life, but that's why you don't apply real world laws and physics to a fictional universe.

I understand how females wearing less armour doesn't make sense if it boosts you defenses. But I'd say the same about how with male armour, the bigger it is the more strength you gain. Surely wearing more would mean less mobility and strength. Again, you don't question it.

Imagine the Diablo 3 male barbarian in the "Chains of Destruction Banana hammock".

Do want!

What the hell were Mojang thinking about the new minecart physics in the latest snapshot? It now renders my huge rollercoaster world useless.

Agggghhhhhh! 3 hours gone. I played SRtT on my 360 Saturday night, beat the first mission after The Belgian Problem (in which I read there were issues of lost saved games after this mission on PC), made some dough and bought property, saved the game, and just now turned it on to discover that I'm at "Powder", the mission before "The Belgian Problem". This sucks.

I want to say that I never really believed anyone when they said that something was a "Bad Game," as all games can be enjoyable if you try hard enough to look past the bad things and see only good (this is how I enjoyed Fester's Quest, Duke Nukem Forever, and Duck Dodgers). That being said, I can not stand Mega man X6. This is a boring game with bull shit maniacs, a shit story, and just over all badness. Even the grammar errors (my favrate part about bad games) does not make up for the shit I have been though. All I can say is at lest I never have to play it agien (when I get back to playing it) and X7 and X8 are much better games (maybe, still need to play X8)

Well, now that Title Update 14 is out for consoles, my Mob Arena is ruined.

You see, going into creative mode, hitting square (Im talking about PS3, here.), and going to the last tab (With the lava bucket), you can find eggs. These spawn enemies for you. Well, if you put some in a dispenser, you can actually make enemies spawn at the press of a button (And redstone, of course.) Now, they patched it so putting the eggs in does absolutely nothing. Now my Mob Arena is rendered useless.

Im going to send a pointless message to Mojang politely asking them to bring it back.

I just beat Xenosaga Episode III yesterday. It has taken me the better part of a decade to finish this series cause the place I rented Ep 1 & 2 from never had 3. By the time they might have PS3 was starting to come out, 360 was out before that. So they had to probably save up shelf space for new console games. So about a year or two ago I bought Episode 3 off Amazon for a really cheap price. But I had other games to finish before I could even think of paying any attention to it, especially since I would have to play the other two games first as the story is pretty complicated in the long run, but the first game really did well laying down a foundation with the second being an okay continuation, however.....

I must say the last game was a mess as far as story went. Gameplay was great, I really enjoyed it. But the story in the 3rd game was a hot mess. I guess I can understand why. This was planned out to be 6 games in total and I felt like the third game was jamming in stuff that might have been apart of the other possible games that would have come after Ep 2. Cause there was a story arc that happened between 2 and 3 that was summarized in 3 but no images of characters and such was given, mention of specific things that were talked about as if they were already known to the player.

I even looked up on wiki to see what side games like a mobile game, a book, anything that would explain this extra bits of story arc or character development that happened between the games, but nothing. There was a year gap between the games and this stuff happened.

I don't know, I feel like they just rushed it to get it done since they knew they weren't gonna be able to expand on anything so they just slapped a bunch of storylines together and got it out the door. It looked good too. Everything about it was great, especially the combat went to a traditional turn based style and not the weird system they had the previous game, except the story. Just when you thought you were understanding it, something else would pop up that made no sense unless you are really good at following some pretty abstract thought.

I checked on Wikipedia and apparently there was a web series called "A Missing Year" that bridged the gap between the second and third games. If I were you I'd look that up.

It's hard to find a translation, though, since the official project was apparently buried midway.

This is the kinda thing that I hate. Why do we need to have to buy comic book, watch a web mini-series, or any other media to understand what's happening in a video game. If we are missing some information in a sequel, we should buy the preveus game(s) to understand and/or have a small summary of what was not added to the games in the game. Other things do it too, and sometimes they don't even try to tell us what happened. At lest with Red Dwarf (who had to skip the first episode of series 3), they gave a text scrawl for what we missed.

Episode 3 had a summary of events but you had to go looking for it in the game. There was no hint that I needed to go to this sub menu from the main menu when you start the game. Then they reference the crap out of it in the beginning but in brief ways as if the viewer is assumed to have foreknowledge of it already.

If I didn't even read the summary of what was given I would have been lost.

As I said, this was an incomplete game rushed to completion as it was supposed to be a 6 part series and not 3.

How about those bosses that take over an hour to kill and about 90% of that time is spent running around dodging the shit they throw just to hit them during that one specific moment the game lets you. Gotta love them, right?

It's not like I spent the last four hours trying to beat the final boss of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, only to die every time just before I could land the final hit (out of three) and be thrown aaaaaall the way back to the very beginning of the battle. The frustration gnawing at me I just kept trying and trying and trying because I know the game doesn't save during levels, meaning that if I gave up now I'd have to go through the ridiculously long level AGAIN before I could actually battle this asshole again. Well after all the hours wasted I shut down my PS3 and threw my controller in the corner. Fuck bosses like this. You only get two hitpoints and the bottom of the stage is lava that kills instantly. One mistake and an hour of running around in circles gone to waste.

Watchdogs looks fucking horrible on the 360. Imagine a PS2 games up scaled to 720p. That's how it looks.

If you guys want it on a 7th gen console, don't.

Pirate it or buy it on PC, PS4, Xbox One or hell, even the Wii U.

Graphics. The only thing that matters in gaming anymore.
