@Dark_Lord_Spam: @ajamafalous: Maybe the developers need to rethink the way to control RTS' and MMO's instead of trying to recreate the experience with eight buttons.
Halo Wars, EndWar and DC Universe Online are all examples of them trying to get it right.
Saying "not trying to sound like an elitist douchbag" and then being an elitist douchebag about how you won't play with people not using the overrated mouse and keyboard combo doesn't help. While PC gaming hasn't been this well-off in a long time, the days of mouse and keyboard are over. Almost every game out there worth playing has gamepad support for a reason (even crappy ones like Roller Coaster Rampage).
Just heard about this, and I'm very sorry for Scoops' loss. People may not like the guy (for some reason), but he's the closest thing to an actual journalist the game industry has, and I have an immense amount of respect for him because of that.
People actually pissed at Telltale for "breaking their promise" frustrate me. Are you so impatient that waiting two weeks is ruining this fantastic experience for you? You try writing a script, recording dialogue and creating the game in one month. You won't be able to, and they bit off a little more than they could chew.
I'm all for innovation in products. It's terrible for Samsung, but if a judge thinks their product is too similar to the patents Apple filed in 2004, it's too similar. Companies taking out patents over their products is nothing new.
And for the people who openly bash Apple, the stigma that their products are overrated and cost way too much doesn't hold much weight for a lot of people. I've found "you get what you pay for" to be remarkably true in my lifetime. I'll pay an extra $200 for an aluminum unibody case because it's not plastic and has time and time again proved to be much more durable than any Windows laptop I've ever owned.
As long as there are some deals on Mac games I'm fine. I've never had a PC good enough to even think about playing games on it, and I finally can with my new MacBook Pro.
