No, I was just trying to find the origins of our love of free stuff.

It's not that I ignored the obvious but instead tried to analyze why it is that we like free stuff. What is the origin of our adulation of that which we don't have to pay for? We like free stuff because it's free? That explanation just doesn't, well, explain it to me.

Maybe I am overthinking it, or maybe I'm not. It's supposed to be open.

Thanks.

Probably because people want Fox McCloud be a starship pilot instead of Link Lite.

If only Capcom hadn't cancelled the Mega Man X spin-off game it was working on.

It would, wouldn't it?

Yes, but only recently have more and more been made that are not only based on video games, and only a relatively few have ever been successful, either at translating the games over to board game format or at selling well.

I honestly didn't want to add that to the headline but my hands were tied thanks to a report that said I had to.

I'm with you there. I posted it on April 1st and it only now gets accepted?
Still, at least it gives the site I work for traffic so I'm not complaining.

I posted it April 1st. It just took a while to get accepted.

Because some people thought I had to point out that it is an April Fools joke. They even added reports to it that would have prevented the article from being accepted, so honestly my hands were tied.

I'm starting to think that Anita doesn't want games to stop being "sexist" just so she always has something to complain about.

EDMIX You don't have to create new features to set a standard, just improve on existing features and use them in conjunction with other features people wouldn't expect them to be used with. Just look at Borderlands and how it combined FPS gameplay with RPG leveling and skills and a Diablo-esque loot system. And then look at how Borderlands 2 refined what Borderlands did.

We are at a point where it is near impossible to have an original idea. Everything is derivat...

It is on my list. Have to finish Borderlands, Witcher 1 and 2, Shantae, Overlord 2, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Of Orcs and Men, Sleeping Dogs, Jade Empire, the Legacy of Kain franchise, and so many other games.
I expect to play The Witcher 3 around 2018, maybe 2019.

I can assure you EDMIX this is not a paid...anything. It isn't a review, it's just an opinion piece on how what Breath of the Wild does right breaths new life into the open world genre. Yes it does take stuff from Assassin's Creed and the Elder Scrolls, but it also improves on it. Take the crafting in Elder Scrolls. You are always told what you need to create an item, but in Breath of the Wild you need to experiment. And the climbing in Assassin's Creed was always unreali...

TKCMuzzer I agree with you on that. A console should run at a smooth framerate. What's weird is that I tested the rumor that the game runs better in the handheld mode than in TV mode, and it does indeed run better on the handheld screen.

Thank you Bigpappy! My thoughts exactly!

This is an opinion piece. People should calm down and recognize that not everyone will agree with them.

There was a comparison between Prototype and InFamous a long time ago, but honestly at least that comparison made sense. It was two open world sandbox games where the protagonists were both morally ambiguous people with super powers. But this? two open world sandbox games that take place in the distant future and the most powerful enemies are giant robots that fire lasers from their eyes. The comparisons are a stretch at best.

Ouch...just ouch.
Let's hope they patch these fixes, although honestly I miss the good old days when they didn't need patches to fix these problems; they just made sure they were fixed before the game was released.
