Damnit Patrick! Just play OlliOlli before you start worrying about whether it's too complicated or not!!!! /irrational

Also THPS2 is also my favourite Tony Hawk.

I'm super stoked for the Unfinished of the new Civ title.

I've been wanting to get back into that genre of games for a while now.

Well, it's weird. Many of them start off as "adult" games on the PC, then get censored and released to a bigger audience on consoles/handhelds, at which point the more popular ones become bigger multimedia projects.

Fate Stay/Night and Steins;Gate are probably the most recent examples, but there are countless others.

They also vary wildly in terms of how they incorporate game systems. Some games have complicated systems that might as well make them RPGs, while others are just choose your own adventure type games.

I see. Shame about their origins - regardless of their current state, where they came from can often be a sticking point for mass (worldwide) adoption.

I doubt it was a coincidence. Maybe Dan can pop into this thread and give us the answer.

I doubt that will happen, those two being hired together is a point of contention for that whole hiring drama.

The point of contention was that they were both white, not that they were hired together. Regardless, it's probably under NDA or whatever now that I think about it.

No, that was part of it. The other part was people wondering if the job posting was all for show to satisfy CBSi HR procedure and Dan/Jason were already a lock.

It was apparently posted before the hyrule warriors quick look but when I saw it there were 0 comments. Weird.

Giantbomb's autopublishing is at it again!
 
Did alex/patrick get into Mordor at all this morning? I'm really interested in it as a LOTR movie dork and knowing that Alex has reviewed at least on asscreed game in the past has me interested in his opinion.

He said it while referencing not wanting to watch anymore of the movies, he likes the Hobbit book more than LOTR's and even he cant stand the latest movies.

Oh, if he's talking about the books that's a totally legit opinion. Dan has moved back into the lead for craziest thing said on GB and will probably hold on until Jeff starts talking shit about scallops or something.

If you're interested, Alex is out on monday so Patrick is getting Polygon's Alexa Ray Corriea to guest and nerd out over it. She's way into that lore.

Yay! She was the first one along with another guest on that E3 show that made me notice Shadows of Mordor. Can't wait to hear her impressions.

I will admit i'm kinda curious about it and thought about asking Dan about it but then i realized it doesn't fucking matter and it's probably personal stuff anyway. What matter is that Dan got hired and he's awesome.

No, that was part of it. The other part was people wondering if the job posting was all for show to satisfy CBSi HR procedure and Dan/Jason were already a lock.

Oh shit i remember that controversy, that's has gotta be more retarded controversy ever. Giant bomb can hire who the fuck they want, people get riled over the stupidest shit.

.

I'm pretty sure Steins;gate was never an "adult game", tho.

EDIT:

Yup, I checked, and it's not just the english translation of the PC version -- Steins;Gate never had that kind of content.
