- really should have ended it all in 2017. Oh shit! I think

Well, I've logged on to Hearthstone everyday for the past 2 years, so i guess i can't tire of that game (tho at this point it could be Stockholm Syndrome). The game that I have never tired of at all though is Ocarina of Time. I think I have completed it around 25 times, still haven't found...

Another good Ronnie Barker one was Open All Hours with David Jason. Jimmy Perry and David Croft were also prolific in the 70s and 80s. They wrote (amongst others) It Ain't Half Hot Mum (though this might be deemed offensive to some people nowadays) and Hi-de-Hi (set in a 50s British holiday...

Honestly OP, I feel exactly the same as you. I think immersion is just a buzzword publishers use in marketing; you'll be immersed because it's 1st person or it's the character you've created so it's really you walking round Cyrodiil or this new planet etc. I don't get that. I've always played...

Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel It's been a long time since a JRPG had hooked me quite as much as ToCS has. It's a long game, with about 80 hours of content if you really explore the world. Combat system is turn based with ways to manipulate the turn order and characters are completely...

GOG is my go-to online gaming store (as in my only one) so I look forward to the summer sales. However, my backlog is great this time so have only purchased Pyschonauts, Shadow Warrior original and Duke Nukem 3D. I am waiting for KOTOR 1 + 2 to come on sale tho, great games. PS. Does anyone...

This is the sort of world companies like EA, Activision, Ubisoft etc. have created. Consumers are so used to being dicked over by shitty dlc that they see any dlc as bad - even if it's free and being released by a fairly benign company like CDPR. OT: I really need to upgrade my PC, it can...

Well, if you want to know what I thought of Gen 8 when the games and consoles were rolled out I'll tell you; I immediately went and bought a PS3 and some games for it I had missed the previous gen. There's just no killer app(s) as far as I'm concerned, no games that make you go 'Wow! They...

Another important thing to remember is that people (for now anyway) still want their big, bombastic experiences sat down in front of the tv on the couch. Are gamers really gonna be happy playing games like Call of Duty, or Madden/FIFA, Elder Scrolls etc on these small phone screens, when before...

Not sure I even consider him the best, but Stocke from the JRPG Radiant Historia was a very good protagonist, I feel. He's one of the few set protagonists in gaming where everything he's said to his comrades or every important decision made with regards to the story I find myself thinking...

I felt the ending was generally just shit. It felt rushed and didn't make any sense, where one minute Shepard was making their choice out of the 3 colours offered them, then the next minute we see the Normandy fleeing the battle, and then it crashes on a lovely, leafy planet where presumably...

Hmm...my Top 10. Putting them into any kind of order is really difficult, I love them all for different reasons, and at different times. But the 10 are: Skies Of Arcadia: Introduced me to the JRPG genre and I loved it. Thought the characters were well written (if cliche) and I loved the sense...

Got a PS3 for birthday, so have been trying to catch up on games that I missed on that console. 1. Tales of Graces f. I really enjoyed Tales of Vesperia on the Xbox 360 so thought I would try other games in the series. I'm just near the end of the game and I think it's alright. I definitely...

Damn, not much love for Dalton. My favourite is The Living Daylights, that car chase is so good - short and sweet but full of action. It also had a pretty tight script and was well plotted. Close behind is From Russia with Love, it actually feels like a spy movie in some parts, a lot of the...

I seem to be of a similar mold, though I actually started lurking in late 2008. Look at my join date, it took years to actually want to post something on here and weirdly, I chose the moment when shit hit the fan on these forums. Timing, eh?
