Potentially controversial topic ahead but one I feel could be interesting. I'm sure many people here are at least vaguely familiar with the Battlefront 2 news surrounding loot boxes. Essentially, negative PR has lead to people and even countries calling out Loot boxes as potentially...

Shadow of Mordor for $6.99 Canadian is about as cheap as it'll ever get....trying to decide if I should buy it or hope to see it appear in a humblebundle package. Same dilema for Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition. I realize Humblebundle has done RE bundles multiple times in the past but the...

Do they need it? Those relatively 'cartoony' artstyles were made to be timeless. It's like making Wind Waker HD...sure it looks better but the game never aged that poorly to begin with. This is especially true with Warcraft 3 which I revisited only last year. I suppose Diablo 2 is...

Best: Nothing. Lots of a CG trailers with no gameplay and a lot of games being revisited from last years E3. If the goal of E3 is to hype me for upcoming games it failed to do so. That's not to say I won't buy a single game from E3....it just means that nothing I read/heard/saw is...

My impossible E3 wishes: - PC Games will work well on release with only minimal non-game breaking bug patches required over time. That is all.

Positives: A marvel trailer that wasn't jokey. They might actually stray from the tried and true Iron Man 1 formula for the 15th time and that's GREAT! Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the humor in marvel movies but when every movie feels the same its awful and it HAS been awful for...

Hopefully this leads to positive changes. Overwatch seems to be an example of success in this game genre and yet I still haven't bought that one out of the same perception and concerns I had with For Honor. There's always a chance you'll get into those games but its just as likely the...

TESL is my main card game at the moment. I've played Magic since Revised and the hobby has become too costly for me to play over the last several years. In addition I've grown really frustrated with the RNG associated with lands in Magic. I didn't appreciate just how many games are decided...

- what happened to the VR talk? My guess. Cost and space prohibitive. The experiences provided were not strong or lasting enough to make it a must have experience for those who can afford it. The companies marketing it have slowed in their promotion in general. -are you interested in VR...

Note: I'm looking to buy Withcher 3 during the Summer Steam sale and if what I've heard about that game is true...this time next year its entirely possible that game will be on this list. Honorable Mention: KOTOR KOTOR is incredible. What keeps it off the list is the fact that its more of...

From my personal experiences, Valve is the worst. Why? 1) No Customer service. I've had 3 or so issues over the years and in all 3 cases I never once get a reply. Their customer service to my questions have been to ignore them entirely forever. Kudos on being the literal worst a...

I just bought the game off the most recent steam sale but I can't actually play it until June for various reasons. I was very surprised to hear about its success in 2016 because all of the gameplay footage I was exposed to felt high octane but also pretty generic. I'm concerned I'll get...

Assuming this wasn't sarcastic...I don't understand this mentality. Why are we brought up to learn from our mistakes and improve but once a big project fails the answer is to fire everyone? With that view it's amazing Zelda and Castlevania franchises survived beyond the second installments...

I'd like to see a game where the Stealth/Pacifist mode actually leads to the BAD ending with the kill road being the good one. I can't think of a single game that has taken that route and I'm curious if it would have any influence at all on the players preferred method of play. Take...

1) The Escapist This is the least visited forum but also the most useful forum. My other forums are for niche games that I play regularly. The reason this is my least visited forum is because there's nothing on the website I enjoy. The last show I regularly watched on The Escapist was the...
