@drlostrib: I'm actually going into a game design program at the end of the year and asked some instructors about this. A lot of the perception that industry is unstable stems from the fact that emplo...

@TheEroica: And it's not like there weren't plenty of good games at the beginning of this gen, but there just weren't any that made me go, "ohhhhh, *that's* why I bought one of these things."

@TheEroica: I'm not nearly as fatigued as I was by the end of the 360/PS3 generation, but that one lasted almost a decade. I kind of feel like this gen really just got going in the last two years. The...

@ezekiel43: I think things are going to take a downturn in popularity once the Avengers saga is wrapped up. Part of this has been this slow build up to this conclusion. Naturally, you're going to see ...

Sega Saturn for sure. PS3 was pretty rough, as well.

Randy Pitchford gives me a Peter Molyneux vibe, in that I think he gets really worked up and excited about the projects they're working on and talks about things before they're set in stone.

@Lotus-Edge: Some people have jobs and responsibilities and things that take precedent over playing video games. It took me almost two months to finish GOW because I don't have time to sit down and pl...

@Telekill: I'd have to agree with that. In the same light, I think people remember the GameCube a bit too fondly, as well. I am saying this as someone who still has a GameCube and breaks it out three ...

I'm actually curious about Bethesda's future. For a long time, they got a free pass for releasing buggy, poorly optimized games with lackluster gameplay because they were the only ones who could pull ...

Just about all of them.

Sales are for chumps.

@ezekiel43: The only thing about digital is that there's no guarantee that digital service will still be active in 10 years. I've purchased two movies on the Xbox store, and there's already been times...

@SolidGame_basic: I'm as late as can be to the party, but I finally bought Garry's Mod. Holy hell is this some hot nonsense. This Hideo Kojima's narrative translated into game mechanics.

As a gamer, you can only stand to benefit by having more options to play games.

@drummerdave9099: The problem with the PS Classic is that Sony didn't already own most of the games in the PSX library, so unlike Nintendo, they had to pay licensing fees for just about everything; wh...

@Mercenary848: The PS4's success was due entirely to Microsoft's botched marketing plans for the Xbox One, followed by Sony taking complete advantage of it, while simultaneously offering a better syst...

@henrythefifth: Dude, it's fucking Christmas. Like..... just chill for two seconds.

@bgrosz: Yeah, I feel like it kind of belittled the origin story. The whole thing was getting bitten by the spider. But giving Peter the choice does make the character motivation more active, where in...
