    Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice Review - Disorder in The Court

    I'll have to be the dissenting opinion here, I guess. I'm a huge fan of Shu Takumi's original trilogy, and like most I feel that while the technology that drives the games has improved in displaying the stories, the writing has suffered outside of Edgeworth's 2 spin-offs. I enjoyed Dual...

    Games you love to play... except for that one part!

    Bloodborne- The Nightmare Frontier with Amygdala, I'm fine with the Nightmare of Mensis. Why this series has to have giant poisonous swamps that slow your movement... Demon's Souls- My favorite of the games with "Souls" in the name, but weapon upgrading and the crystal lizards totally sucks...

    So Battleborn is $15 (2K HumbleBundle)

    I decided to go for the $15 just to see if I could like Battleborn, not a good sign that a $60 game is going for that in a humble bundle so soon but eh... The game has a LOT of self-inflicted problems, and even after the patches its had I still don't think it's ready for primetime. Like, I...

    Furi Review

    Quite often these days, games that feature a notable degree of difficulty find themselves compared to From Software's Dark Souls series. While the notion isn't entirely off base, a comparison like this doesn't do justice to the experience that Furi has to offer. Furi is brought to us by The...

    Microsoft Has Apparently Dialed Back the Scope of Xbox Play Anywhere

    While using UWA isn't in any way ideal, it's not as bad as you're saying. I got Quantum Break to pretty much see what the fuss was about (and to try Quantum Break, but I fucking hate how it feels to control) and it totally has graphics options for AA, shadows, and all that good stuff. It looked...

    I want to love it.

    I entered this thread ready to say "the first Witcher", it's funny that you're the last answer I see. I've played the 2nd one about 4 times, and I'm ready to tackle the expansions for 3 and I've read the first 3 books. To you specifically I say: Just play the 2nd one. I have the same problem...

    Pyre, Supergiant Games' upcoming IP...

    I love how Supergiant has the balls to just do what they want. I followed Bastion before its release, and ever since then you can't "expect" anything other than the work having tons of love and soul and experimentation put into it.

    Zero Punctuation: E3 2016

    I'm still kinda confused that E3 wasn't the opportunity for Nintendo to clarify just what the hell the NX is (I really hope it's the successor to the 3DS, where the charging station is connected to your TV, back compatible with 3DS and Wii U games, I'll buy it) and for Sony to push the Neo. The...

    2K Finally Announces Bioshock: The Collection

    Bioshock 1 was actually made in a pre-Unreal engine 3 world, if I'm not mistaken it's pretty much a heavily modified version of the engine for UT2K4. I hope they go full ham with it, port it into the modified UE3 they used for Infinite, that atmospheric lighting and shadows would do wonders to...

    Tony Hawk does one last 900 at age 48:

    This is fucking amazing, I felt too old to keep skateboarding once I turned 25, granted I'm 6'4 and 265 lbs so every fall wrecked me and every trick felt like literally breaking how gravity is supposed to work; I would die happy if I could earnestly attempt a kickflip at age 48, never mind...

    Sony Pictures Chairman on Ghostbusters Reboot "Haters" : "It's The Greatest Thing That Ever Happened"

    How does anyone in his position get to call potential customers "haters" who's opinions, positive or negative, are "stupid things"? God they made the trailer as shitty as possible on purpose and I'm living in the corporate Matrix, aren't I?

    Is the "Open World" approach killing RPGs? And will it ever stop?

    I'm thinking the right way to approach this question is to analyze what you mean by "RPG". In a large sector of the AAA space, we're reaching a kind of singularity where the traditionally hardline RPG entries are using open world design, and your ever vague "action/adventure" genre is continuing...

    How could I have deprived myself for so long?

    Honestly, Demon's Souls. This was a few months before Dark was supposed to come out and we started seeing a PR push for that, and I kept seeing "super-hard action-RPG, it's so fucking hard your balls will be crushed and fed to you like oh my god there is no mercy" everywhere I looked about...

    Miyazaki has new dark fantasy action-RPG in the making, new Armored Core and 'something weird'.

    I hear ya. It's a shame that the new consoles are turning into PCs in every way besides the support of games up to 20+ years old. I also wouldn't trust Demon's Souls as a good game for PS Now, getting hit by a boss because the stream dipped for a second would be totally unacceptable. Not to...

    Miyazaki has new dark fantasy action-RPG in the making, new Armored Core and 'something weird'.

    I'm kinda disappointed that the action-RPG is any kind of dark fantasy, Dark Souls 3 showed the creative dead-end with the dark fantasy angle and I was really hoping for some kind of cyberpunk or futuristic deal where you used laser pistols instead of blunderbusses or something. I was never into...
