    Witcher 3; would I like it?

    Using everything else works ten times faster...it is more of a "safety net" than anything else. And no, if you played on the hardest difficulty: button mashing ( most of the time) is quick death against any decent opponent. "And there's lots of RPGs where chugging health potions wins the day...

    Witcher 3; would I like it?

    That's honestly...complete nonsense. Witcher's Quen can be used as an exploit against less aggressive opponents, but that is by and large the least effective strategy that will take 10x longer than using anything else at your disposal. In DD, there are a handful of game breaking abilities that...

    Witcher 3; would I like it?

    #1 You can fairly easily jump in, but I'd recommend watching a recap on YT on series events about it. It is more tied to books history than games ( though second one plays role in the setting) #2 Their own thing with some references. Second one serves as epilogue in it's own way. Both are...

    Why is Zelda BOTW Considered so amazing.

    That could be said for a lot of games, then. Imo, 10/10 should be reserved for something that excels across all major aspects of the game. In this case, it clearly isn't when it comes to performance, storyline, characters or side quests. Poor Voice acting, UI, or weapon durability mechanics...

    Good Game Titles (By Which I mean the Title Itself, Not the Game)

    Also a very interesting upcoming rpg: No truce with the Furies.

    Good Game Titles (By Which I mean the Title Itself, Not the Game)

    By "good title", something that's easy to remember, words "flow" well and is indicative of the game's main narrative themes? Planescape Torment, without a doubt...you can tell by the name that there is something "exotic", different about this game. The World Ends with you. Most popular ones...

    Why is humanity looking for a new home if the Reapers were destroyed?

    It's not happening after ME III...Initiative takes of during ME II with no ( confirmed) relation to trilogy main story. Seriously, best thing you could do to enjoy Mass Effect is not go about analyzing it's plot and reasons behind character or group motivations.

    What game will be GOTY 2017?

    That's crazy, they're still hiring people for it. I wouldn't rule out even 2020 release, the game is insanely ambitious.

    Yo Videogames Top 10 Action Games

    Resident Evil VI...technically it's an action/horror, but who are we kidding here? :P Not really sure if it's one of the best or worst action games out there, quality is really all over the place. Level design is a mess, QTE after QTE, meh shooting plus poor cover mechanics, and some very...

    My 24 hour Zelda review

    It makes zero sense they went with these "survival elements" in this game. I love these things when they fit the setting and direction of the game...Stalker series, even modded Fallout III. But here it seems simply out of place and obstructs gameplay.

    The little things that Horizon Zero Dawn does that most open world games fail at

    Definitely..human fights in this game feel like they were added at the last minute. Core Bowplay definitely isn't "great"...playing modded Skyrim archery overhaul and you'll immediately see the difference...no crosshair, target moving in the distance, pin point predicting of target's location...

    The little things that Horizon Zero Dawn does that most open world games fail at

    Eh, combat is a hit and miss. Giant dinos are great to fight, but archery is very, very poor. Point and shoot, plus ridiculous animation of quick shooting like it's a machine gun. And melee, stealth and fights against humans are little better. The rest is subjective...I LOVED worldbuilding and...

    My 24 hour Zelda review

    Watched a few videos and have the same impression. Even with reviews of Blizzard or Rockstar titles you can see some criticism leveraged that is at odds with ratings they dish out. Here? I saw a review of someone 'salivating' about Zelda having...cooking recipes. What is the story so far like(...

    Senua's Sacrifice

    I don't mind that she looks less imposing, physically, but new version kind of looks too..."innocent"/young I guess? To make her more sympathetic, probably. Her face does not indicate her mental struggles. From what I've seen great performance by her her actress though. And this coming from...
