Oh, neat! Lookit that!
I never even knew that feature existed.
Admittedly, it makes things pretty easy, but I like my way. :D
Thanks for teaching me that, by the way.

I don't feel this is needed since if you click "Quote" instead of "Reply" what you are responding to is automatically added already. Then if you don't want to directly quote that person after you are done replying to their post you can delete it from the portion of your message. The Quote box at the bottom of a reply I've never liked and is one of the reasons I only use GameSpot and never go to other forums for posting like IGN etc. If they started doing that here I'd probably stop using the forums and the site entirely.double_decker
Ah, but that doesn't work for multiple-tier quotes, like if you want to respond to more than one person or respond to just one on a point by point basis.
If you don't mind, what about this 'quote box' that I assume is synonymous to what I'm suggesting would break the experience for you? I don't want anything introduced that would chase people off, perhaps it could be modified to be less annoying?
I think Gamespot should have a topic review feature as you post.
When you push the little button to reply to a thread, whether here or in Union forums, there ought to be a copy of the last page or so of the thread under the text editor for you to review as you respond.
That probably made no sense and I can't think of how to word it, so here is an example.
Among other things, this would be very useful for quoting other users. If you want to know what was said specifically, you would no longer need to either copy your entire post, hit 'back', review it and create the reply again, or make a new tab and navigate back to the thread to re-read it.
This is a pretty basic feature most forums have, but then again most of my experience with this feature has come from PHPbb based forums. I'm not sure whether it is able to be implemented here, because I'm not familiar with the technology involved.
But hey, that's not my job! I'm just supposed to come up with the neat ideas. :D
Anyway, it's pretty annoying having to find my way back to the thread in order to adress key points in a conversation, or to get exact wording on quotations.
What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance, also I like muffins a lot.
[EDIT] Fixed the link. :D
Sorry if I'm a little late here, but I think it'd be neat to have a Raptr related module somewhere on our Gamespot page.
I was thinking somewhere in the "Currently Playing" list or near it if you want to keep the original how it is.
I mean, it's cool that you can see what's being played more total on the pages for each console, but you can see that by just going to Raptr as well, right?
So it'd make sense to have something on your profile here linking to your Raptr profile in some way. On a more personal level, you know?
Cheers, keep it up!
If you can use other forms of BBcode, I don't see why that one has to be omitted specifically.
I don't think I'd use it much, but I can see where others would find it useful. Seconded.
[QUOTE="ValentineRain"]Well, really I don't think it's that mature of a game, though this is coming from a guy that started playing GTA at the ripe old age of eight. I'd let my kids play it if I had any that weren't half-mole and therefore thumbless, but some parents are really picky about what their kids play, and I'm just not seeing it.Cherokee_JackI hope you're talking about Soulcalibur, there.
Whoops, sorry for not being concise.Yes, I meant Soul Caliber doesn't strike me as particularly violent, and I'd let my kids play it. Again assuming I had them.
Though I'm such a cool guy I'd let them play GTA if they could handle it. :p
Wait, did they just say Soul Caliber 4 was good, family fun?
I'm not going to argue the games-for-girls bit, which I do realize they were addresing. Actually as silly as it sounds I don't think I've ever met a male that plays Soul Caliber. But family fun?
Did they not notice the large weapons, and maybe what they were doing with those large weapons? They weren't talking about how you should never play with knives, they're hitting each other with them. It's a fighting game, not Antiques Roadshow.

I really hate video game shows that talk to the audience as if they're morons.6matt6
Let this line be carved in stone and imortalized, as a standard for any review show for the rest of eternity.
Xenogears

I second this whole-heartedly.
Though I think it's more common for a developer to completely miss potential philosophical value. How many times have you been playing a game, and been required to do something that would be considered morally backrupt or morbid, yet none of the characters make any references to it whatsoever? Er, no, Grand Theft Auto is not what I was going for there, by the way.
Or that horrible empty feeling when the story grazes something that could have been an excellent plot point with no clear-cut answer, and they opted for the cliche I Am Your Father cop-out. It just makes you feel cheated; we don't think on a regular basis, and you stole an opportunity for us to have an excuse to do so. ^.^
Anyway, even though it's toward the end-game (which was too rushed to really deliver the point), I'm going to nominate the meat-packing scene in Xenogears specifically. Don't worry, no spoilers here...If you've played it, you know what I'm talking about.
Heh, shovelware. I actually hadn't heard this term before.
This really is true, though. I hadn't thought about it this way, but when my folks decided to get my sister a Wii it was my first instinct to tell them to be careful with the purchases on software. (They have a tendency to immediately purchase something because of the license, or in some cases just box art. See: anything Spyro, any cartoon character she watches, and rehashes of Asteroids that are dressed up to look new.)
But when you think about it, the alternative is what? I'd love to see fewer quick-buck titles as much as anyone, across the board, 'cause it just makes our favorite pastime that much more accessible. But if Nintendo was to, say, start cracking down and regulating what can be released on their system with an iron fist, they're going to be back to square one on third party support. It's actually really nice to see a few good games on the system that aren't made by them.
That being said, I'm kind of glad not to personally be a Wii owner, because every trip through my local game retailer leaves me a little less impressed with the lineup.
