I've now heard of Ellen Page. What's that worth?

@hairdie I don't know if it's right on a technical level but I like the way you organized your argument in a logical way.

That was a remarkable video. Being able to communicate the nuances of a complex topic in an entertaining way in under 6 minutes takes skill and a lot of hard work. I know a few professors that could learn from this. Online courseware is exploding in popularity and the greatest determining factor is the communication skills of the instructor. Cam should be in the teaching business.

@digikilla You scared me there! I went to "reviews" and played around with the filter and found 13,320 reviews for PC alone. The reviews are all there but it appears all the filtering options aren't in place yet. I think they're still adding stuff to the new sight. Be patient!

The new site is awkward learning my way around but I've already discovered things I hadn't known about before. Under the "videos" drop down are ALL the shows, not just the two or three I saw on the old carousel occasionally. Granted, it is slow changing pages but they'll get that ironed out in a day or two.

Everyone that is griping should try to have an open mind. If you still don't like it in a month then maybe there is a problem.

I don't watch many movies and I dislike playing a game with a lot of long dull cut scenes. But I also don't like games that build a shallow story around the gameplay as nothing more than window dressing.

My favorite games are ones where the story makes the place interesting to inhabit but allows me to make a difference.

Saying gamers don't care about system spec's is what corporate executives say when they can't say what everyone's thinking. Spec's are constantly improving and at some point you have to settle on something and build the thing. They settled too low and now their baby looks dated before anyone has even bought one. What's it going to look like in 5 years? Buy a PC.

Open world games can be confusing to the inexperienced players. What am I supposed to do??? I get that the designers struggle with putting enough direction in for noobs but don't kill the atmosphere by holding my hand and constantly bugging me with crap. "Hey cousin want to go bowling?" I don't need blinking blips on radar or floating cartoon arrows over guys I need to talk to either. Scalable difficulty settings that turn off sticky aiming and unlimited ammo should also be available.

Games have gotten so easy they're boring. I hope Watch Dogs will be an exception.
