you got a 3ds mystery?

[Mr Mystery]

Nah.

Did have. Need to get a new one.

Prof Leyton are ace games, except for the voice on his sodding sidekick. I'm gonna track down the voice artist and give them a good sidekicking.

Worse than Mr Van Bannedwordonhere, but the one from Diagnosis : Terrible Programme. You know him.

articles like this annoy me:

basically the IGN journalist is complaining that The Order must be poor quality because they have only seen one demo and it wasn't great. despite the fact that the game is not out until the end of the year, and the developer told him that the demo section hadn't been tested or optimised yet... He likens it to The Last of US saying there was an amazing demo for it a full year before release, so The Order must be rubbish because it hasn't done that.

And it is for reasons like this that GW doesn't leak info...

yeah, the developer says 'hey want a look at this game, it isn't finished yet or anything, but take a peek'
journalist says 'omg this game is going to suck it looks awful even though it isn't finished yet!!1?!'

[Wolfshade]

It is like some of the alpha and pre-alpha launches. Yes it looks crap is buggy as hell, what do you expect a finished product?!

Thats so horribly broken.

It turns out that the whole "you can only play as a male" thing was a bit misconstrued in regards to Deep Down, per [URL="http://au.ign.com/articles/2014/02/19/capcom-addresses-deep-downs-lack-of-female-characters"]IGN[/URL];

"There is one male main character in Deep Down. The story is being developed around him and his surrounding Ravens comrades."

So it is more like the Witcher in the sense that you have a pre-defined male lead, as opposed to what everyone originally thought - that you could customize your character like the Elder Scrolls game, but with no female option.
That's nowhere near as bad as I thought it was, at least.

Meh, it's still a ****ty excuse not to include a female protagonist. I mean it still just amounts to 'we don't give a **** about telling the story with a woman but we can't come out and say it as bluntly as that'.
