I only replay games if they're short enough and are thus conducive for speedrunning. For example I replay Resident Evil 3 every other week, because it only takes like an hour more or less to fully beat and I want to get faster each time. Longer games, like Final Fantasy or Metal Gear, I...

I was unsatisfied, because the game lacked a buildup to the ultimate climax. Skull Face's death was too sudden and abrupt. I didn't even realize that the game had more or less reached its end and at that point I felt the story hadn't even started. I understand the game continues, but the overall...

It's not just the narrative - it's also the structure of the narrative. The reason MGS 1 was so good was because the story was paced and structured very well - everything was built up to the final climax, when you fight Metal Gear and Liquid Snake. There was no kind of build-up in MGSV. As far...

Same amount of units as in WCIII. Add four heroes for each races + neutral heroes. Keep the creeps, item system, neutral stores etc. Races are a bit problematic given that the undead are now a part of the horde and elves a part of the Alliance. As such, I would go for the following races...

In our diverse society, this just won't do. Game of Thrones needs to give credit and spotlight to more races and sexual orientations. Seriously, what is this? Aryan race land? If Tolkien had writted the Lord of the Rings today, the social justice warriors would probably have a heart attack...

Warcraft III Frozen Throne by far and really the only RTS game I ever bothered to play competitively. Four distinct races, each with 4 distinct heroes along with a bunch of neutral heroes, creeps and items made for a very interesting and a deep experience. Was the game unbalanced? Sure...

It really depends on the game. I did a non-lethal playthrough in Dishonored and in no way was the experience fun or interesting. Going in non-lethal made the game less fun, severely restricted my choices both in the use of weapons and gadgets and made the overall experience frustrating and...

1. Thou shalt not have unskippable cutscenes. 2. Thous shalt not have ridiculously long killing/death animations that can't be skipped. 3. Thou shalt not force the player to mindlessly grind in order to progress in the main story. 4. Thou shalt not have more cutscenes than actual gameplay...

There is no reason,why krauser is weak against the knife. It's just some random mechanic. Whatever works. They never explained, why nemesis was particularly weak against nitrogen rounds either. He just was and that's that.

Guess we're just going to have to disagree. I never felt that the old formula was getting stale, especially when REmake innovated and shaped up much of it. It's evident that we like the series for completely different reasons. In any case, lets hope RE7 is better than RE 5 and 6.

I'm also of the minority opinion that the old formula of RE was superb and peaked with RE3/REmake. RE4, while a fun game, had incredibly detrimental effects to the series - from the complete abandonment of survival horror to forced co-op. From this point on, my relationship with Capcom cooled...

Infiltration is by far the easiest class to play. Cover - snipe - one shot kill - cover - snipe - one shot kill to infinity. play vanguard for a more intensive experience.

Time. It's time. Hardcore gamers are those who devote a considerable chunk of their free time on gaming. Gaming to the hardcore player is essentially a hobby whereas to a casual gamer, it's just periodical entertainment. Some say what separates casual gamers and hardcore gamers are the...

I think people give Dead Space 3 too much flak. The game was every bit as scary, disturbing and atmospheric as the previous ones. Sure, it did have shooting sequences - but there were very few and they were very short. Saying that DS3 was in any way shooterized is, imo, a gross overexaggeration...
