Is there room left next to you?

I know this wasn't directed at me, but yes, I at least don't generally trust audience reviews. I mean, I just have to look at my friends to see how that's a dumb idea. Most of them are so non-critical they'll watch and accept anything that provides even a modicum of entertainment. And to top it...

Good point. I personally liked the new sectoids, mainly due to body language and the weird skull with teeth. Similarly I do like the Archons, cause I can see them doing their job in broad daylight without evoking any sense of dread from humans. However, I can see where you are coming from and...

Okay this is just silly. Every week someone is whining about the lack of original idea and new IPs, but then comes an article about 'most anticipated games' and it has 7 sequels. Yes, Zelda and Far Cry are not traditional sequels, the latter more so, but I think my point still stands. If you...

This. If you already didn't like Wings of Liberty, than Legacy of the Void might only be worth a look for the improved gameplay. The customization is better and the story stronger than in Heart of the Swarm, but that's about it. So if the first two weren't for you, this one most certainly is not.

It's probably due to practice and the missions being non-standard. If you got problem with a mission, try to just restart it. Much of the difficulty comes from having only a vague idea what exactly the mechanics of the missions do. The new units and the ship abilities were my favorite part of...

I'm sitting here, reading another rave review of Legacy of the Void and can't help but think: "Has ever reviewer played another game than me?" Now don't get me wrong, LotV is far from a bad game. The multiplayer part improved once again and the new units are interesting in concept and...

Doesn't seem close minded to me to call a leading question what it is. Everyone can make up fantasy scenarios favoring their particular opinion, it's not terribly difficult. I think it is close-minded to dismiss all the evidence pointing towards the love affair the USA has with guns is causing...

How would I feel? Probably lose my shit wondering how the fuck two guns got so close to me at once, right after I thank the good-guy nutjob for killing the bad-guy nutjob. Considering that I was threatened with a gun before that, That would mean I'd lost my shit twice in quick succession. Then I...

Taking me serious or not, you didn't address the point. You said you made mistakes and learned from them, but that doesn't mean those mistakes are gone or forgotten. Freelancer has not been the only time Chris Roberts has proven that he can promise a lot, but can't deliver. That is the main...

See, you believe in them and to you these wishy-washy explanations are satisfactory. Feature creep, when a project takes longer cause you want 'all the things' in it, is not an explanation to some, it's a red flag. Over-ambitious visions have ruined many games, Daikatan or 'Duke Nuke'm forever'...

Actually, there have been four longer forum threads concerning Star Citizen and CIG. Three of which were the threads by the articles themselves (Lizzy's two articles and the Escapist's position in this situation). This is the first longer thread in the forum's not based on an article and even...

In most any circumstances the parents WILL deal with it. Just because kids don't come with an off-switch and it takes time to calm them down, doesn't make the parents automatically inept or uncaring. Also, yes our societies should cater towards kids, cause they are a fundamental part of them. No...

As true as this might be, knowing that still doesn't make some of these comments less disturbing. And someone further back said the 'children should be seen, not heard' line, which makes me shudder. Kids are kids, not little gremlins in training. If you expect them to annoy you, they will...

You sound like a grumpy old man. The only thing missing is that you complain about them not 'getting off your lawn'. :P To your question: If the word 'hate' is used appropriately, then yes, it's wrong. There is a gulf between not liking them or being uncomfortable around them and hatred. You...
