@patrickklepek: I phrased that wrong, maybe not covering Kickstarter stuff, but more of this insider baseball esque pieces. Like on the podcast this week Brad floated the idea that the story of the new Tomb Raider game might have changed as they became more heavy handed with their marketing. Or how Sanzaru Games felt by developing their own game in a series that was dominated by Sucker Punch Ideals.

Or even better, How in the Hell the creators of the Fire Emblem Series can get me to care so much about their 2D characters who literally have a single sound of voice acting.

First off Patrick this is one of the best articles you have written. I hope you do more of this stuff, specifically spotlights on lesser known kickerstarters and greenlights.

Random thought though, you misspelled indiegogo in the second to last paragraph as indiegoto.

Keep up the good work!

All his points are valied. Everyone can percieve them as they may, whether it is calling Jim a troll or saying hey despite the fact that this isn't the best written article I do understand some points.  
 
The ads have gotten worse over the last few weeks and he was refering to the moving ads that are going to pop up when the next update comes out. I personally don't mind paying 50 dollars a year, for a chat room. But i don't want ads on top of that.  
 
His point about RRoD is a fine claim, everyone should be able to agree on this. Mircosoft rushed their console out the door and are paying the price for it. The thing is it really hasn't gone away, between the E74 errors (<--- i got that it sucked) and some of the newer models getting RRoD'd after Mircosoft came out and said that they had fixed the problem does not lend itself to having  good customer relations.  
 
Finally his point about the Mircosoft point stuff, again, is completely true. While i am ok with paying for Braid and Castle Crashers, i am not ok with paying 20 dollars for a puzzle quest game, i sure you arn't either. And i am also sure the Dev's were like totally 20 dollars is the perfect price for our game. Also Valve and Epic have both come out and said that they wanted to release free content for their games which Mircosoft wanted to put a price tag on it. That caused those companies to not end up putting out the content that they were able to do on other platform.. (see: TF2 UE3) 
 
@Palantas:
 Well considering that Mircosoft hasnt posted more than one profitible quarter in their games division since the released the 360, i would say it isn't there to make money.

I dont really see how this is going to be a good idea, and why everyone is so for it. For those of you that watch anime, myself included, let me ask you one thing. What makes a good anime, ones like One Piece, Bleach, etc? For those of you that dont really like anime let me fill you in. Its a wide selection of characters, and large amounts of growth from each of the characters. And while Halo has the possiblity to do this (by not focusing on master chief) the series will also hurt itself by going away from master chief.  For 343 studios it really is a lose lose situation. Also no other video game to tv show addaption has even been decent. (see Street Fighter and Viva Pinata).


Halo is an epic game, filled with epicness, but it lacks a little in the character department. I hope it works, but i really doubt it.
