I never really got the common complaint that Crysis games are only for visual splendor. When I played Crysis 1 and Warhead, it was on the Medium settings at a fairly low res, but I still rate Crysis 1 as one of the best shooters I've ever played. Why does everyone seem to discount the incredible...

The complaint they have has zero to do with realism. They just think that it's become a boring mechanic. I too am a little bummed that the intriguing hacking and environment manipulation gameplay will most likely often devolve into basic cover shooting. Nobody ever suggested that the main...

I was pretty disappointed in Limbo. The first level was great, but after the forest it all just felt tedious and generic, like the developer put all their effort into the first area, got bored, and just phoned in the rest hoping the art design would carry it. And while I normally like games...

I think one issue here is your perspective only goes one way. It's funny because out of the many many games with horrible synchronicity between story and gameplay (a popular example is GTA IV) you chose No More Heroes, which I completely disagree with. Don't think of it as "The game was...

So Steam in all its glory is has the Ghost Recon games on sale for 75% off this weekend. This brings the five available to under $3 each so I should probably just buy them all, but I won't. My roommate and I would like to get some co-op action going (they all have co-op, right?) but we don't...

I'd make the move to a full 3D open world. Pokemon would exist in their natural habitats with a wildlife AI that makes them act as animals in the wild would. Combat takes place in the world instead of distinct battles and would be pseudo turn based (maybe something like KOTOR), also making the...

I was just gonna mention Letho, he was amazingly well done. It's very rare for an antagonist to be as self aware as Letho was. Like you said he isn't necessarily a bad guy, he doesn't even want to fight you and straight up asks Geralt to just let it go and walk away. It's really too bad he...

As odd as this sounds, fantasy usually feels more grounded and familiar to me. With sci-fi, everyone else has common working knowledge of (and generally access to) future technology, which is basically just sci-fi's version of magic. That often leaves me feeling somewhat disconnected when...

All a single take. Runner up would be anything involving Tony Jaa, specifically if he happens to be on fire during any part of the fight. EDIT: Not too sure about favorite shootout... therefore Rambo.

I'm really surprised (and somewhat disappointed) that so many people are saying Mass Effect. I mean, it's totally not my place to judge your tastes, but I never thought Mass Effect was truly heralded as having a great story. It was well constructed with high production values, that that's about...

One suggestion nobody else is gonna say is the DayZ mod for Arma 2. * Open World/Sandbox - Takes place on a huge island, 250 square kilometers. * Role Playing elements - Not many RPG elements like standard stats, but you do manage your inventory. * First or Third Person - Mostly first...

It's not a misuse of words specifically because it's a figure of speech. Its use is common and absolutely acceptable. If there's any lame excuse here it's your refusal to acknowledge how basic communication works. I assume you don't think idioms or metaphors are a proper use of words either...

I don't really think it's that laid back. I'm sure there's some sort of hierarchy to keep things running smoothly. And I don't think anyone really cares about Gordon Freeman that much anymore, though I could be wrong. I think what's even more amazing is how many people refuse to...

Are you suggesting that feelings like love and hate towards something are only valid in a collective majority? Is how I feel about Black Ops wrong because a lot of other people feel differently? The OP asked why people hated Black Ops and you try and turn a subjective discussion into a...

This bit bothers me. It seems like you're claiming their hatred of Black Ops is wrong simply because other people like it, as if you can invalidate an individual's opinion by pointing at numbers. And this seems like you're making assumptions. "Leave others to their own preferences" sounds...
