A little on the short side but not so short that I'd have to kneel to kiss them. She would have dark hair, large eyes, musical talent, and be someone who understands loss, chronic pain &/or addiction. Unfortunately, the women this has applied to are generally just about as damaged as I seem...

The matter to which I am referring is this: I was locked out of the SINGLE PLAYER content of Dragon Age Inquisition due to my console being unable to reach through the network and connect with Origin, or whatever it has to connect with on the other end. The "connection to Origin" message just...

If companies can't guarantee a service, they shouldn't market products that depend on its presence. Not being able to use software I purchased because it requires access to an online service is absolute bullsh!t. Was going to take advantage of the day off to experiment with a new character...

The lack of feedback on successfully landed attacks for enemies or players is a big problem for me. It would be one hell of an archer who could still hit their mark with a guy driving a pair of daggers into him. There have been times where I can see the enemies targeting a party member who is...

Ocularums are one of the things I dislike the most. It feels like Planet Scanning 2.0 I didn't get as strong of a MMO vibe from the fetch quests in the first two games as I get here. Also, while interesting, the stronghold mechanic feels borrowed from Assassin's Creed. I REALLY don't...

With a second character created that is less horrific to look at, I found myself getting into the game and having a good time, but also getting disappointed/ticked off a lot. Want to know why you can only heal with potions? Because enemies re-spawn. If you had a sustainable healing source...

I drank the Koolade and pre-ordered this on PS4 and just played around with it for a little bit after the midnight unlock, due to my unfortunate requirement to go into work in a few hours. Didn't get much past character creation and a couple of conversations before I saved and powered the...

I picked it up for < 20$ a couple months ago and actually forgot that I had bought it for a week or two. Not a slam against the game, I just had a very hectic work schedule at the time. When I finally got around to playing it, I enjoyed the game, but it felt like it was just the love child of...

Disc 2/Loc Muinne, but only through the introductory narration and Geralt's brief chat with (on this run) Roche. Hopefully, I'll have some more time to play it this weekend.

I don't like that the combat seems to boil down to the same strategy for most difficult fights. Aard to stunlock + attack like hell until the stun lock breaks, repeat. I would try to approach fights I had difficulty with (bosses/mini-bosses?) mainly in different ways. I'd try two or three things...

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I picked up a copy of the game for Xbox 360. Despite being an early adopter, though not quite first wave pc gamer, I fell off the Pc Gaming wagon years ago. My top of the line pc, when I built it, might as well say Fisher Price on the side these days, so...

I do find that I have to bring my own role playing to RPGs, but since I have the option of doing so, it doesn't bother me. I realized the extent to which I do this during my first and second Skyrim playthroughs. Initially, I was just playing it like a game. I was maximizing my character with...

I was interested in the series because of the modern day/future elements! The first game looked great and was fun to play... for a while. The gameplay felt really same-y after a couple of missions. It needed that extra hook that the future sections provided. When I finished it, I was more...

First off, I have to qualify. I don't usually play games online. That said, one of my friends got me started on Black Ops 2 multiplayer hardcore team deathmatch. We usually end up playing a few (thirty) rounds whenever we hang out at his house. I've been the victim of lag switching and hosting...

I'm the goddamned Batman, but I'm the version of him with screwed up combat timing and a less useful version of the line-launcher. Considering my parents are dead in real life, the only major change would be in my bank account and nocturnal activities. I guess I'd start beating up juggalos as...
