Funny how he complains about no inventory pausing in Demon's Souls when he complained about the exact opposite feature in Bioshock. Is there some sort of middle ground between paused and unpaused that I'm unaware of?

Bioshock had an inventory??

Not the inventory, but the hacking minigame thingie. Same principle.

I am biased towards Demon's Souls but he mailed this one in.

There was fair warning to every element he complained about and he couldn't be assed to get to/passed the tower knight at that?

Its more of a negative take preview.

Funniest review in a while, that's for sure.

No, it's always been an extension of the Gamespot/GameFAQs "forums".

I think it just suffers from having such a big user base that people either fall into the "I've been here so long my ass is rooted thus I'm elite" or "I've just gotten here!" catagory. The first ridicules the latter and thus you end up with a constantly swirling pool of hatred that keeps getting more and more powerful as time goes on.

 

Probably part of this is due to the fact several skillion people joined due to the ZP section (which I think he's getting tired of and loosing his touch) and thus people join to make a comment that he might... possibly... look at and thus validate the guys existence.

 

*shrugs* It'd be like what would happen if it was known Myamoto, Kojima, and Tim Schafer were known to post here with more than just "here's the new stuff guys!" the poster count would skyrocket so fast that it wouldn't be funny.

 

Also there is very little visible moderating going on from what I've seen.

Don't know about that. They have a lot of users with banned or probation tags (with reasons).

 

Anyway, Escapist boards are probably good gauge of current "hardcore" player profile. For 'em PC is ancent relic, shooters started with Halo, CRPGs started from Oblivion (or Morrowind for those REALLY old skool) and Space Sims, adventure games or turnbased strategy games never existed. It's almost uncanny how many errors there can be even in a single post. There are some oldtimers posting in there but I have to wonder why they bother.

there are posters like that, but they aren't as tough on their posters to stay family friendly about things and thus you find that posters can be a lot meaner to one another with less punishment.

I laughed. I don't mind missing a week of ZP.

"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
