    reviewers getting paid to give good reviews

    It is not that the reviewing magazines get to put a price on a review score (though such a practice could be happening somewhere and we don't know it.) the problem is that the product being reviewed is also the ad revenue for the magazine or website. Gaming magazines and websites that do...

    Steam is now Regionally restricted

    Why was Fappy banned in this thread? As to this topic at hand, it doesn't surprise me. With how much shit is put on Steam now I don't doubt the fact that Valve are blatantly anti-consumer. It's also a small number of consumers who will be affected, so the "Fuck you Got mine" mentality of...

    Je Suis Charlie

    Islam is a religion, not a race. Being a Muslim is a choice. You can not choose to be born black, Asian, white, or whatever. Solidarity with CH is exactly what the world needs, because 10 years is half a lifetime to the Muslim Extremist morons who killed Denmark cartoonists in 2005. The same...

    Elder Scrolls Online- Leveling Guides Are Going to Ruin The Game (with video).

    You nailed it without knowing it. You were trying to argue it is a ROLE PLAYING game but spelled it wrong, oddly enough answering your own question. Skyrim and other single player RPGs are ROLE PLAYING games. MMORPGs are ROLL PLAYING. As in, min/max all stats/armors/powers to become the...

    Dark Souls 2 Lore discussion and thoughs

    I think the 4th keeper was the lady in the intro video, who tells you about Drangleic in the first place. The woman in the cutscene is dressed and acts similarly.

    The Most Dangerous Woman in Videogames - Anita Sarkeesian

    I still think Anita is not a gamer, not interested in gaming, and conned 7000 people out of a combined total of thousands of dollars. the woman's only 'expertise' on video game culture, gaming, or game issues is her opener for her TEDxWomen, "I am a pop culture critic. I am a feminist and I...

    Poll: Who Shall Rule Westeros and the Seven Kingdoms?

    Of the Large Houses, I think it will be Targaryans. But I think Little-finger will be the one with the most power at the end.

    Science is based on faith?

    Faith is belief without evidence, and science doesn't roll like that. Science runs tests, multiple trials, etc, so as to know with more certainty. While we can never be 100% sure of something, we can be 95%, or even 99%, and that makes the likelihood of something being incorrectly said as true...

    OK, I bought AC3 Deluxe on Steam. I can't play it.

    Can someone who also has this game on Steam tell me if it is normal to not be allowed to actually PLAY the damned game? I installed AC3, it worked. I installed UPlay because apparently you have to. Fine, I do. UPlay tries to update (even though it should be up to date already.) it takes it 7 to...

    The "New" Enduring Classics

    The Portal games will endure. Dark Souls will as well (Maybe Demon's Souls, but since it is a PS3 exclusive, i'm not sure) As to Skyrim? no. It won't stand the test of time. It is only a year old and the 13 year old engine (no, the Creation Engine isn't new. it is a patch job of gamebryo...

    Going back into Oblivion - mod recommendations?

    I tried playing it once. MY save glitched 7 hours in, and with no fast travel in such a huge world (and no vehicles Just Cause 2 style) I couldn't bring myself to try again. Here is what I can say. This mod has one of the BEST opening dungeons of ANY game I've ever played.

    Movie Trailers: Thankskilling 3 - Trailer

    If he still did reviews, I'd agree, but a check of his website shows he does not do them too much anymore. Granted, most of the people from TGWTG seem to be moving on to more original content, so maybe he has been working on something interesting and new.

    Update: Project Eternity Sets Record as Most Funded Videogame

    That is no where NEAR enough money to make a game in this age. They may be alright if they get 15-20 Million, though. That would make a decent game, before QA and marketing take a large chunk.

    Do not waste your money on Dawnguard.

    While I do think the price is a bit steep, I still bought it because IREALLY had a story for my character that needed Dawnguard. (He is enticed by the power and then must decide if the power is changing him to be a bad guy). But then I met one of the characters and fell in love with the DLC...

    If you could erase the memory and start over with one game, what would it be?

    Either Dark Souls, Silent Hill 2, Skyrim, or Oblivion.
