It will never be released because the evil patriarchy made BG&E sell poorly due to the female protagonist. Once tumblr fixes the world, we might see it.
Game sold poorly due to female protagonist? Fucking political correctness :/ .

Does anyone here know anything interesting about Beyond G&Evil 2? Will it come somewhere in the next 15 years?
It will be streamlined for the modern audience. Kids nowadays cannot in Zelda-type games. And I'm not kidding
In an interview with Next-Gen said:
Beyond Good & Evil 2[/I] will be made more accessible to the new generation of gamers, in an effort to make sure the sequel does not suffer the same commercial failure the original did

Tropico 5 Banned in Thailand


"Some part of its content might affect peace and order in the country."

By Mike Mahardy

Thailand's military junta has banned Tropico 5 from the country, saying that some of the game's content closely mirrors real-world events, according to a Kalypso media press release.

On May 22, soldiers in Thailand overthrew the civilian government in a coup d'etat and established the new military junta. Tropico 5 allows players to assume the role of a president who can advocate for democracy, or create a military dictatorship that controls the media and rules with an iron fist. Thailand's Film and Video Censorship office blocked Tropico 5's release because the game's storyline "might affect peace and order in the country."

"Actually it's a good game with positive reviews," New Era Thailand marketing manager Nonglak Sahavattanapong told the Associated Press. "We've had licenses to distribute Tropico 3 and 4 before, but in the fifth installment, the story line has developed further and there might be some part of it that's not appropriate in the current situation."

I like how at the end of the viideo he mentions how shit the new x box is after spending the entire time explaining its actually bad games which were the reason for the downfall.
Presumably he means it's shit because Microsoft didn't make sure there are good games for it. While the NES was a "surprise it's a game console" because there were tons of good games for it.

Almost. What you said can be mistaken for an argument that Microsoft wasn't proactive enough when in truth he claims that their control of the Xbox market is much too tight. The gist of that argument is that they hurt the market penetration of AAA games over the contest for exclusives, while indie and medium developers aren't well accomodated. Its the corporate tyrany counterpart to Steam's garbage dispensing democracy (aka Steam Greenlight).

Really, gaming has the worst business men ever... how many more AssCreed games Ubisoft think they can do? They should take the steady cash flow from the big titles and use it to create new brands that will hold them when people get bored of AssCreed... not bet everything on the same basket.

No one learns anything from Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero or fucking Gold Box games?

The funniest thing is that the 'gamer' crowd is so docile and fucking stupid that assholes like this can do live presentations where they proudly admit that they are dedicated solely to finding new and intuitive ways to fuck their customers in the ass, and the masses simply do not care.


Actually, no. It's worse than that: I guaran-fucking-tee you that there are cunts out there right fucking now defending this. "UBISOFT IS A BUSINESS AND THEY NEED TO MAKE MONEY GOD GUYS", "IT'S JUST AN EXTRA $5, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T BUY IT", "IT HURTS MORE IF YOU STRUGGLE, JUST LET HIM FINISH AND MAYBE NEXT TIME HE'LL USE LUBE, GOD".

Well, judging by Bioware fans — you're certainly spot on with their portrayal.

You remember when Jack Sparrow was introduced in The Pirates of the Caribbean?

Execs aren't interested in making money AND keeping their businesses/industry afloat. You just need to step off the sinking ship right at the end with big bags of money.

Well, they give more of what they love.
For the people who hate their stuffies, it's probably gonna mean more crap.

Short for “Smart Kegel Exercise Aid,” Skea is the brainchild of game designer Tom Chen, who designed the gadget with his company Linkcube when his wife became incontinent shortly after giving birth. (Or, as he charmingly puts it in the Kickstarter promo video, “when she found herself unable to control her piss, she was really pissed off.") Doctors recommend that she do regular Kegel exercises to treat her incontinence, which inspired him to create the Skea.

Watch the vid.
At first I was like
:hmmm:

Why can't people be as original as Tom Chen? Wait a sec-

I really think they don't. This is what oligopoly looks like.
