    Valve Ends Steam's Controversial Paid Mod Program

    ''Fixes something''?! Fixes what exactly, mind you? They implemented a shitty decision made by themselves, for themselves, which affected the community/consumer market at large, and it backfired. There was nothing to fix, they shouldn't have implemented it in the first place. Even Bethesda...

    Valve Ends Steam's Controversial Paid Mod Program

    What a bonehead move from Valve of all companies... What the fuck were they thinking, and no that freaking statement reeks of PR?! By the way, there's already a system in place to support modders, at least on the Nexus site, so please Valve back off with this paid mods bullshite...

    Poll: Based on a true story. (Can it be done in a game?)

    I see where you're coming from, I was a bit vague/simplistic in my description due to your apparently shallow question. Let me elaborate, it could be inspired from the lives of one of the countless firefighters and rescue operatives who were involved back then, even volunteers, also the...

    Poll: Based on a true story. (Can it be done in a game?)

    Indeed, Brothers in Arms immediately sprang to mind, I definitely remember a snippet in the game manual saying something along the lines of ''inspired by true events''. Indeed it could work, with a nice beefy conspiracy story behind it, maybe even played from different angles allowing you to...

    Poll: Based on a true story. (Can it be done in a game?)

    Definitely, but as long as the community is not open minded and unwilling to get out of their comfort zone it won't be possible outside of the indie section. As long as the term ''non-games'' floats around there's a lo-hohong way to go... Example: It starts with the protagonist being...

    Witcher 3 to be DRM free

    Let's get this story straight, initially CD Projekt Red set out to distribute the game with the ''help'' of Namco Bandai and their rule of business while on the side (in fact I have no idea who's brilliant shenanigan was this, Bamco's or Red's) trying to ''hunt'' down electronic ''pirates''...

    On the hunt for extremely captivating atmospheric games. Help me out please!

    Shame on me for forgetting about such a brilliant game, thank you for reminding me. Hehe everyone who hasn't tried it yet should, it's a fantastic game that captures Lovecraft's written atmosphere perfectly, plus it's a shame to miss out on the feeling of being chased by fish people through...

    On the hunt for extremely captivating atmospheric games. Help me out please!

    Besides the usual suspects (S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Deus Ex, System Shock, Metro 2033, F.E.A.R., Penumbra, Amnesia) I'd recommend: -Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines -Thief - series (although I have only played the first and the third, in my honest opinion just because of The Shalebridge...

    Poll: X Rebirth

    Considering X3 Terran Conflict and Albion Prelude expansion still wink at me from time to time to get me to manage my space emperor and bounty hunter characters I'd say it's a definite yes from me. I've been following the news from Egosoft about Rebirth and it sounds absolutely fantastic...

    Top Ten Video Game Soundtracks

    If there's one thing I enjoy the most in a video-game, it's a good piece of soundtrack that fits with the overall theme of the thing (for example the part in Half-Life 2: Episode 2 involving certain turrets and vortigaunts where the music kicks-in). Top 10 you say? Let's see: 1...

    Any Singleplayer Games with Good Swordplay?

    Indeed, well you can blame it on the period it was released in :D. Great game either way, and if I may say, you kind of overreacted. Good day!

    Any Singleplayer Games with Good Swordplay?

    Here's a few tips: - Severance - Blade of Darkness [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egad_InYl6I](this thing came first, then Demon's/Dark Souls, in my honest opinion the gameplay holds up wonderfully) - Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sr62hh6-Pk] and Jedi...

    Console exclusives: are they really necessary?

    It seems to be the easy way out for driving console sales, instead of ... you know making a better service for your platform, finding new ways to accommodate newcomers by being attractive (like special multiplayer features, distribution, quality etc.) without limiting the fanbase of certain...

    CDProjektRED website countdown leads to Witcher 3 cinematic trailer + Tywin Lannister as voice actor

    Silver sword is for supernatural beings and steel for anything else (not just humans, but wolfs and other predators die easier using that one). Here's a tip, check the bestiary section of the journal, every monster you investigated (or read upon) has a section in there which explains it's...

    Anyone else collect the old (big) PC game boxes?

    Frankly the collector's edition for both titles have a nice ''thing'' going for them, I regret not getting the first and only getting it in a digital version, but I can attest to the second which was worth every penny: The ''thing'' is when you put them side by side they form a big-ass...
