    Firefall is Officially Shutting Down Today

    I used to play a lot, and did a lot of beta testing prior to the last update because I was worried by the direction that the devs were taking the game. Devs ignored all feedback, and some were openly hostile to any criticism of their work not just from myself. Well imo the devs reaped what they...

    Bayonetta Launches on Steam Today With 4K Support and New Graphics Options

    It hurts my old hands to do dodge offset. What a great year 2017 is turning out to be for gaming

    Nier: Automata Impressions

    The demo doesn't give the impression that Automata is Platinum at their best I agree, but the demo is effectively the beginning of the game before you can counter and use witch-time like mechanics. Late game is very similar to Bayonetta where taunting (not as important as dodge offset is in...

    E3 megathread

    I can see what you mean. I'm not really stoked about anything; even stuff I want to be stoked about like Nier the details have been a disappointment.... and I didn't think it could get any worse, but when the FFXV trailer has a bloody Audi in it and every other major title is set in a...

    Is there an E3 Predictions thread yet?

    Microsoft install Windows 10 on Xbones so when Xbone gamers get home they realise they are no longer console gamers. Enjoy Cortana trying to sell you a pizza while you're immersed in your games every two minutes. New controller which casts light or shadows announced (for peripheral vision...

    Poll: What MMO class do you play and why?

    In the MMOs I play I look for something fulfilling and rewarding, but most MMOs don't really give me what I want. While I have tried big name MMOs like WOW and GW2 I wasn't a good fit for them no matter what class I tried. I really wanted to like GW2 too. I bounce between three MMOs these...

    Dub VS sub a real discussion!

    Back in the 1990's I used to do fansubbing because I didn't have much of a choice in what I could buy commercially; in my country almost everything was dubbed in English with lots of Americanisms that I loathe. The sub vs dub arguments used to get quite heated back then - the folks who wanted...

    A Human League CD and a copy of 'AI Artificial Intelligence' on DVD are in danger; who do you save?

    AI Artificial Intelligence was at one time the only DvD I owned (it came bundled with my PS2...yes I was late to the PS2 party because Dreamcast.) I think I watched it once. Human League's Dare on the other hand is one of the best albums of the 80's imo and it has a picture of a Yorkshireman...

    Thinks you think you are too optimistic/pessimistic about

    I like to think of myself as pragmatic. Optimism, pessimism and cynicism are things born from personal experience imo. For example I've bought games from company X and they all sucked/were awesome and my behaviour adapts accordingly. I'm too optimistic when it comes to women I want as a...

    Jim Sterling leaves The Escapist

    I was expecting something like this to happen because he's come across as uncomfortable for a while now. Not sure if I'm going to contribute to the patreon yet because the last two months has changed how I use the internet. There's a lot of black doors that folk want to paint pink and I'm...

    Poll: What browser do you use?

    I use Pale Moon with a few mods on my gaming rig mainly to try avoid picking up any malware/adware that like to leech through browsers. I was given my last rig and it came with an incredible assortment of malware that caused me no end of grief trying to get games working and I got really...

    Jimquisition: The 100% Objective Review

    I'm not sure how to take this video. I don't know all gamers, but I know a fair few IRL (or did) and from MMOs who expect a game to be reviewed from the perspective of "a gamer." Most gamers I know don't give a toss about sites like this or even any other kind of games media. I do know folk who...
