A bit late, but I just want to say that I really enjoyed reading your analysis. The Void is a beautiful game with a lot of information to digest. Everyone seems to get something different out of it, but your interpretation was well thought-out and interesting. Thank you!

Not arguing with you; they did a fine job of doing it. However, in the same way I don’t want Bethesda to only make The Elder Scrolls, I don’t want Diablo to be remade again and again.

Torchlight is led by people who designed Fate and Diablo/Diablo 2, so of course it’s going to be very close to both games. That’s kind of the point.

Another thing I’d like to mention is that Icebreakers is not a racing game, and it’s amusing to see so many sites immediately assume it is. Keep your eyes on the game for future updates, and eventually we should hear more details about the true, interesting nature of this game.

Comment on In Game Advertising by Kiri

Seriously? Having a character drink a coke in your game is annoying? How? Aside from all the social and economical debate associated with product placement, how is it any different from a character drinking an unmarked can of soda, which half the country generalizes as “coke” anyway? Some trademarks are so pervasive in our society that you don’t notice them anymore; we substitute brand names for products. Not all soda is Cola-cola. Not all tissue is Kleenex. Does it detract from your gaming experience because HOLY SHIT, that character is drinking PEPSI. Would you avoid buying an otherwise amazing game because, GODDAMN, they’re advertising Samsung? (Did any one skip out on Advent Children because Nokia phones were all over it?) Chalk it up to principle all you want, but if it doesn’t change your experience dramatically and it’s good for all the companies involved, then… why not?
