I can see what you mean by that. Maybe this is part of the reason I personally like them, as I'm neither a purist nor a kid? Certainly I like the atypical philosophies, and I don't mind the darkness. Anyway, thanks for the comments, folks. One question, though, where the hell is the poll I...

I've been using Unreal Engine for a few years now, at a pretty amateur level, although I'm now making a serious effort to produce a game that might actually reach a publishable state. I'm very interested in finding out if there's any sort of game dev community here on The Escapist, but I'm not...

I watched Justice League last night. Yes, I'm late to that party but I'm no pop culture obsessive, in fact I usually avoid superhero films or get bored halfway through. But as I was watching it, I found myself thinking repeatedly, 'Y'know, I don't care what anybody says, this is actually pretty...

This was actually the first thing that came to my mind too. I played on normal difficulty, the only time I felt even remotely threatened was... um... that bit where everyone gets separated about 75% of the way through... it's been a while. Honestly, pretty much every JRPG is like this. Which is...

Hey guys, just keep in mind the next time you want to complain about 'SJW snowflake cucks' whining about everything and making everything about race/gender/whatever, there are people like this around. And they're extremely common. Personally I'd say they significantly outnumber those...

Nah. It was pretty good for its time, and actually proved to be quite influential in popularising the whole Ubisoft open world formula (I'm not saying that's a good thing, incidentally), but for my money it wasn't as good as the first Far Cry (which I honestly believe is one of the best FPS's of...

Ha, is there a subset of people out there ironically fucking animals?

I have no doubt that Kingdom Come is a better game. And I have no doubt that DW9 is objectively pretty terrible. Personally I'm not going to buy either in the near future. But if someone offered me the choice of those games, free of charge... DW9, every time.

I really like them. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Shadow Hearts; that's the first example that came to my mind. The series had its flaws, but the rhythmic button presses made it all a lot more fun and dynamic in my opinion. In fact, if I was going to make an RPG of some sort (and don't...

This guy stole mine. They were my favourite games when they came out, they're my favourite games today. I don't care too much about modding the actual gameplay, but it's very true that the community map packs are a continual source of enjoyment. It's amazing how, even after literally decades...

Hmm, let me go through my YouTube subscription list and see which gaming commentators I'd actually recommend. Huh, seems it in alphabetical order, so that's how I'll list them. Angry Joe: I don't actually agree with him in terms of taste in games all that often, but the thing I like about him...

It's fair to comment on it, sure. It's not fair to assume you know everything about it. It's probably particularly unwise to comment on stuff like pacing or character development, as these can rely heavily on the gameplay. And of course some games have a story that is far more intrinsically...

Honestly, if GT is too 'dry' for you, I don't think you're going to find AC all that interesting. It's definitely dry, although still a better game than GT IMO. But then, I like both of them. But hey, it's all just opinions!

Alas, the PS4 is kind of lacking when it comes to racing games. Personally I think GT Sport is the best of them, and significantly better than DriveClub, but it definitely has its faults, and since you can probably get DriveClub pretty cheaply now it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a go. It's...

Sure, but the point of NaNoWriMo is to encourage people to start a project, and then finish it. That's all there is to it; quantity comes first, and if there's any quality in there, that's a bonus. Obviously it's not for everyone, but for a significant chunk of people who have novel-writing...
