I like the way you broke everything down. I think many things that you explained are fairly simple or obvious, but it 's very important to explain them in a structured way to properly illustrate some less obvious, more complex ideas. r n r nGreat job. I 'm sure we ...
@ Fisk r n r nBrilliant comment. You said it all very well. Because Pushmo has so many different kinds of puzzle challenges, the star rating system may seem off and the progression of challenges overall may seem a little uneven. I think it took a while for the stages ...
@Nunya r n r n If you can 't imagine complex games not having tutorials, I suggest you go play the majority of the Street Fighter series, or hell, many of the Capcom and SNK fighters in the 90s for that matter. Many of the rules of the game aren ...

@been rice r n r nWait... so being under pressure of the government debt does not count as being pressured or coerced in this scenario Everything you described would not count as fun. r n r nFun already has a definition. Yes, it 's broad. You 're trying to make ...
Indeed. I watch a lot of SF4 and MvC3. Crazy stuff. Throw in X-factor on top of things for MvC3 and combo-ability and the comeback factor go through the roof. r n r nI prefer Street Fighter 's style. But more specifically, I appreciate variety in gameplay whether that 's ...
