    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    I remember this game I used to play at my uncle's all the time. It was a side scrolling shooter set in space on the PSOne. The graphics looked 3D as I remember, but I suppose they could have been 2D designed to look 3D. I think it did have a regular gameplay mode with full levels, but I only...

    When has something been too mean-spirited or cruel for you to enjoy?

    The Corpse Party anime. Whilst staying true to the games at all meant it was going to be full of suffering and and torture, the anime relishes in depicting the most horrible events in that universe (Children having their tongues cut out and being stabbed in the eye until the eye becomes...

    The great OST appreciation thread

    I've recently been completely obsessed with Undertale music, but thats been mentioned many times before already. I'm not a composer or musician of any kind, but I absolutely love it when OSTs re-use songs in various ways and keep the score whilst also completely transforming the song...

    What was the first game whose development you followed?

    I think that with gamers, most of us as (At least all those I've met) start out very passively with the hobby. We buy the games that we think look good based on the cover in the store or maybe based on friends recommendations. At some point; we actually started becoming interesting and "hype"...

    Poll: Would you ever want your favourite game franchise to end?

    I vote NO as my favorite series is Final Fantasy, which obviously uses different settings and mechanics for each installment in such a way it has no need to end. Overall this is obviously a case by case thing. If series plot and development of its characters and settings are important aspects...

    Your favourite RPG class

    I was thinking of starting a thread in this manner myself. I always pick the Warrior/Mage hybrid class if I can. Heavy Armour and weapons are cool. Magic is cool. Put them together and you have a lot of awesomeness. Basic maths :P Unfortunately, not many games offer these kind of classes in my...

    What is the Escapist Community Proud of Lately?

    I was meant to go to university in 2012, but due to a lot of stress and issues outside my education I was constantly distracted and depressed, so I only got very low marks, nothing a half-decent university would accept. I tried to re-apply for another course to get in 2012 again but I couldn't...

    Worst game you ever played that wasn't full of bugs/glitches?

    I'm very ashamed to say this, but I watched a friend play that game at their house and it was that game that single-handedly caused me to beg my parents to buy me a PS2 that Christmas. Yes, looking back... it is god awful. I had bad taste in gaming as a kid, okay?

    That one game you just keep going back to

    I have a few. Any of the main series Pokemon games for a start. I ALWAYS play through the main storyline three times, once with each starter. Sometimes I do another run where I don't use any of the starter Pokemon and I've attempted a nuzlocke on every region with... varying results...

    Criticisms of video games you are tired of hearing

    "They're really running out of ideas" I hear this aimed at the Pokemon franchise most commonly and it really annoys me. Yes, they are still making Pokemon based on foxes, bears, dogs ETC that does not mean they are running out of ideas or getting lazy. They are more then one species of these...
