That, and Dark City too. Both movies had the wind taken out of their sales by the Matrix being the mega-hit that it was. To be fair to the Matrix it still holds up, but is brought down a bit by its lackluster sequels. As for my pick: Kathryn Bigelow's underappreciated masterpiece...

A shame really, because they were arguably among the most prominent media analysis videographers that led to the analysis golden age of 2012 that replaced the AVGN/Yahtzee angry (wo)man snarking/raging about videogame/movie/whathaveyou period from 2005 onwards; but I digress. While I feel...

While it looks good, I have concerns regarding RPG progression between parts, as I have yet to find an example where a developer did this right, if at all.

Too bad that like Bioware, they wanted to be bigger and signed a deal with the devil, and in the process lost all the people who made the company what it was. Both could separate from their publishers, which Bungie has already done, but the damage is already done. They will never be what they...

Age of consent here in NZ is 16, but you'll only get the book thrown at you if you're like 25 and you sleep with a 13 year old. My former flatmate slept with a 15 year old when he was 30, and most people's reaction's around here were "that's pretty messed up" in a frowny way, not in a moralising...

>Calling a CGI movie "live-action" Muh sides. To Quote Drathnoxis: And not live action. If it was live action, now that would be impressive! Even Voxis Productions joked about how nonsensical a "live-action" Lion King remake would be

Let's see. 1) It's part of a genre that I'm thoroughly sick of (WW2 shooter). 2) Dice sacrificed group-play dynamics at the altar of CoD one-man-army gun-game unlocking bullshittery (Hey remember when BF ammunition was magazine-based and not bullet-based?) 3) Basically everything...

Looks pretty interesting. Me and others ironically spent the pre-announcement livestream discussing what we liked and disliked about Civs 4-6, and most people agreed that 6 was a huge step up over 5. Also, an anonymous game-tester for the DLC gave us all the details about the new factions...

Y'know that the Chinese themselves, and especially the younger generations (read: anyone under 40 in my experiences) aren't too pleased with the censorious attitude of their government either.

It reminds me of something Pat Condell once said: "Nobody believes the media, yet everyone believes what they say." Like you insinuated, even the ethics-and-journalism crowd does this, and I bore witness to this first hand when media outlets like Kotaku and Polygon negatively and libelously...

That's honestly how I feel about Andromeda. If they had called it The Andromeda Initiative for example and said that it was a spiritual successor to Mass Effect, I can guarantee you that the game would've gone over much better.

Exactly like Mass Effect 1, the only good one.

You wot!? The game that CR sold us was an online spiritual successor to Freelancer and Privateer, with the single-player campaign being a stretch goal. I backed the game expecting them to focus on the former moreso than the latter, and feel to this day that they're wasting time, money, and...

>Reading SC Refunds leddit Muh sides. >"I backed a single player space sandbox, not an always online FPS" I backed Elite Dangerous, SC, Infinity Battlescape, and Dual Universe precisely because of their online status. I'm mainly an Elite player, and detest the carebears with their soy...

Wait, according to the supposedly "well-researched with corroborating evidence" Escapist expose, CIG ran out of money in January of 2016 (if the "90 days of funding left" thing is true).
