Oh I know, I'm just kidding. There's no saving that guy, not that he actually cares. At least I can give him a tribute with my new name.
Libro deserves this for singlehandedly keeping the gaming section alive for years now.
I didn't even know I made threads. The zero votes so far are deserved.
And it's a protest for the wrong guy, shamefully.
Don't worry, Argentina will cry for spdude.
But think about all the good things he did, spdude should have been made an exception for. That poor man, he's probably off crying right now.
Where's the beloved spdude? This seems like it's been rigged.

I disagree about Square probably wanting Cloud. Right now they are probably wanting to promote FFXIII and would therefore want Lightning in it, like what Capcom did when they added Donte instead of Dante. The difference is though, that Square has a much bigger relationship to Sony than what Capcom has. Also the fact that they own parts of the company. Sony probably wanted Cloud in, as it will be the choice to get fanboys most riled up. For me though? I'd like Lightning. We need more female fighters. But both wouldn't be that bad either.
You're right, they don't have to make super realistic graphics. However, what the consumers want is games with realistic graphics. Aside from some odd examples, like Minecraft, if you want your game to be popular, it needs to have realistic graphics. CoD is the most popular non-Nintendo franchise right now, and that's largely due to the fact that the game is "realistic" and has a similar art direction. You can ignore realistic graphics, but you might lose a fair chunk of your sales. So there's two scenarios: 1) You spend more money on the graphics to make your game potentially sell more, or 2) you make your graphics more stylised at a lower cost, but also at the loss of revenue. I love stylised far more than realistic, but the latter is far more popular than the former.

I mostly agree with DA here. Although, I differ what he thinks on David Cage and all. David Cage is definitely taking risks, as nobody knew if there would be a place for such a story-driven QTE game, but there is. And he is making some very unique games in the current market. However, like DA said, the thing is that it is just getting way too expensive to make games nowadays and people mostly just want shooters. So most companies won't take risks as there's a pretty decent chance it will flop and their company might just go under. It's happened a lot of times this generation already, and it will by no doubt happen next generation. The only way for someone to take risks now seems to be by working for Sony, as they are publishing a lot of very unique games. Both PSN and retail. But at this pace, it might not be too long until even Sony has to stop publishing all these unique games. It will be a sad day for gaming. Honestly, I still believe that we shouldn't have made consoles more powerful than the Gamecube. It was just graphically advanced enough for things to look good, but also keep budgets at a relatively alright price.
Maybe so, still doesn't change what he said though. I could discuss fisting with someone, doesn't mean some people wouldn't find it offputting or that they wouldn't tell me to stop.
But he said to talk about something universal, which is more likely for more people to want talk about. If you are talking about ponies, then you are limiting conversation greatly as it's a pretty niche thing to like.
But people like cats for good reasons, whereas they really only like Valve because it's the popular thing to do.
This always my first thought when someone says "Hey Ash"
I am good poem =)
I've gotta agree with this. If you had actually lost all romantic feelings for your girlfriend, then it would be terribly mean to just lead her on for a while after that. Situations like those are the ones that can hurt someone the most. But yeah, some tact is definitely required as well.
