    What is the easiest AAA game you've played since 2005?

    Don't play a lot of AAA games, but Bioshock Infinite on normal difficulty was pretty damn easy.

    TotalBiscuit retires - health failing

    TB strikes me as being so far up his own arse he was flossing with his own hair, still, wouldn't wish cancer on anyone.

    Gangsta rap is by far the most influential and important music genre of the past 25 years

    Influential, possibly. Important, nah, music hasn't had any significance since MTV hijacked it.

    Drink every time you kill a boss/mini boss in Dark Souls!

    The Shadow of Mordor games are a bad match for the LOTR license.

    Tend to think that while they mismatch a little, the outcome is good enough that it's not a big deal to me. I don't think they really match with Warhammer either. Worth noting the contest between Gimli and Legolas at helms deep or even the Battle of Five Armies outcome makes the large number...

    Current Blizzard Games Will Stop Working on Older Windows Versions in October

    Well, guess I'm not buying anything else from Blizzard then, seeing as I'm sticking with 7 until something comes along that actually makes it worth moving for.

    Zero Punctuation: Battlefield 1

    To be completely fair it's relatively historically accurate that a lot of the campaigns in WW1 had a bad case of "what the f*** happened to the backup" -- the first time the Germans used Chlorine Gas for instance they put a 4 mile hole in the French line and followed up with two tenths of bugger...

    Zero Punctuation: The Technomancer

    Deus Ex at least had an excuse; they were working with the original unreal engine and essentially making it triple somersault through hoops to get the more varied parts of the gameplay working...

    Deus Ex Mankind divided - E3 2016 Dubai gameplay

    Looks an awful lot like HR without the heavily coloured filter, which I'm not totally sold as an improvement -- the colouration gave it a distinct feel which I thought helped build the atmosphere.

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

    You can't really blend open world and story pacing, I don't think it's killing RPGs but it's certainly not good for story based games to go too open ended without some kind of clear reason for it; Far Cry 3 for instance had the whole liberate garrisons to help the tribe of people who aided you...

    Good news for Total war Warhammer

    It's a slight change, and for mine not really a significant one -- they're still demanding people adopt the game before it can get proper reviews to get the DLC free. As a backtrack, it really doesn't do enough to change my previously formed opinion that someone is trying to pull the wool over...

    Book vs Show question for Game of Thrones (Spoilers, duh)

    Regardless of if there's any genuine affection there, all Shae's actions at Tyrion's trial and after indicated to me that she was trying to survive -- Tyrion looks to basically be a dead dwarf walking while Tywin seems to be about ready to take over Westeros.

    Your Cardinal Sins of Gaming

    Post Auto-save Cut-scenes Put the bloody auto-save after the bloody cut-scene so I can just fight the bloody boss that just bloody well caved my head in with a brick. Bonus rage points if it can't be skipped. Escorting Idiots I don't mind the odd escort mission, but if my character (or...

    Poll: Would you want Bioware to make KotOR 3?

    BioWare as they stand now? no thanks. Obsidian haven't actually made any legitimately *good* games.. so also no. Let the sleeping dog lie, we've all seen what happened with battlefront.

    what the hell blizzard?

    Warcraft 3 had awesome icons, several WoW Icons are also from Warcraft 3 -- literally all of the Warcraft 3 Shaman ability icons are used.
