    Horizon Zero Dawn and accusations of SJW pandering: What is true, and what isn't.

    What I find interesting of the game Nora society, is that as a matriarchy, they are as flawed as any government we have had. I also found very telling that the main form of punishment that they have is casting someone out, hence the outcasts, which is very fitting with the matriarchy. I am...

    No Man's Sky Disappointment

    Let me put it this way... I had never used the steam refund option. I have used it now. For 60 dollars I expect a working game. Myst had better framerates than this.

    No Man's Sky PC Version Gets Last-Minute Delay

    As time passed, the hype I had for this came switched to concern and finally distrust. The amount of things the game claims that can be done coupled with the gameplay trailers I have seen (and the review embargo) don't seem to be up to the hype level it got.

    No Man's Sky Delayed Three Days on PC

    I am on the fence with this game. So far the gameplay that I have seen is not really convincing. The ship moves in a very unnatural way, when you are outside it looks like a survival game, which are not my cup of tea. Honestly for space sim, I think there are better choices (Elite Dangerous...

    Your favorite games to hate-play

    I have a copy of Lair, that I play from time to time. Does that count? I don't "hate" the game itself, I hate what it is compared what it could have been.

    Ghostbusters reviews are...positive!

    If you filter top critics only, it goes down to 50%. Additionally metacritic is 59%. So no, reviews are not positive. Only positive when you filter them out in a certain way.

    Poll: You have to fist fight the last game character you played as, how does it go?

    Considering that I was playing an entire civilization which had control over 7 solar systems... my odss are slim at best.

    Poll: Would you not buy a game, if they gender swapped your hero?

    In general if the game was good, I would probably get it. However that does not remove the fact that just switching the character gender is a lazy way of attempting to create something.

    Steam Sales 2016.

    So far nothing, but I am tempted by Banner Saga 2 (got the first one and it is amazing), maybe I'll get Ashes of the Singularity or Homeworld deserts of kharak. Maybe Dead by Daylight.... we'll see.

    Where were you when 9/11 happened?

    I remember it clearly, I was at university we were in the middle of an Economics exam; I finished it and turned it in, and went to the cafeteria, bought a latte, and sit to read Shogun while I was waiting for some of my classmates to finish their exams. TV was turned to a local news channel in...

    Overwatch's Open Beta Attracted 9.7 Million Players

    It was the most fun I had in a multiplayer only game in years. D.VA rules. I pre-ordered after that on PC.

    Your personal top 3 games you have ever played.

    Well, for me they would be these three games: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: while other Lucas Arts games were great, this was the first one I owned, on the first PC my family got, so I suppose a bit of nostalgia is also responsible. Half Life 2: from the moment you wake up in the...
