It is in a strong decline, for many reasons. One being that BroodWar is back on the rise since the most famous progamers are playing it again, a Remaster was announced and most Koreans players still consider it the better game. Last time I heard there are even more ppl playing it in Internet...

I agree that Islam has a political component to it and that it is much more difficult to integrate into Western society than other religions. But such drastic means shouldn't be necessary imo. Freedom of religion does not mean you can't criticize it. I know that reality says otherwise at the...

History student here. We talk about historical video games or video games with historical settings a lot at my faculty. There are even attempts to use the medium for historical education or at least raising an interest in history. The biggest problem we face is the conflict between historical...

True. I think when it comes to video games MGS 1 had probably the best Watergate reference. Anyway, I don't think Zoe Quinn is that stupid. This just shows how she and her ilk primarily depend on publicity for patreon bucks/donations out of pity or for the sake of virtue signalling. It's a...

The screenshot of this article is from the SC II Mod Armies of Azeroth, not the original game. Just fyi since that is what the news is about. Not surprising that WC III is still somewhat popular in China. Guess a lot of people kept playing the original Dota, or maybe even the actual RTS. I...

I enjoy pretty much any good (hardcore) game of the following genres: cRPG, JRPG, RTS, Arena Shooter and Grand Strategy. For example, my favorites of those genres are: Planescape Torment, FF IV, Starcraft BroodWar, Halo CE and TW: Rome I. My current online games are Halo 5 and Starcraft II LotV...

Very disappointed that they didn't use a Necromancer from the Diablo lore. Like Zayl would have been much more entertaining because you could include a second voice actor for his awesome, funny talking-skull companion Humbart. Or even build some abilities around him. Or we just make him a random...

Really? What about all those first person shooters with sprint and aiming down the sights?

I find playing the game as F2P more enjoyable actually. The bonus XP for subs is ridicioulus. For players who want to get into the endgame as quickly as possible (and stay there), sub is more usefull ofc. But if you are there to level some characters to enjoy the storylines and places, F2P is...

I am still baffled that this series has a working eSports scene behind it. It must be very frustrating to get used to a new CoD EVERY YEAR - not only as a progamer, also as a competitive player. Granted, I don't know how different they really are to one another. But we all know that sequels do...

Seconded. Apart from the historical value for the genre, I'd like to add a few gameplay aspects that make this game very user friendly in my eyes, well, at least compared to Starcraft: Visually bigger, slower moving units and the low max population (smaller armies) take a little effort from...

Have to agree with the guys above. Marco Polo is more comparable to other drama series loosely based on historical events/persons. Jumping to GoT-comparisons just because there is some sex, violence and intrigue in is pretty cheap. My boyfriend and I were perfectly entertained by it and are...

Simple, it's because they have a console to sell. Pretty neat stuff overall, though I don't get why they remaster a map that is shit for 4v4 combat. But as long as we don't have to deal with it in HCS it's fine. IMO Ivory Tower would be the better candidate. Sadly, Midship is out of the...

1) How is it a boys club? No one stopped me, a female person, from buying a game in a store or online because of my gender. My Xbox or PC don't stop magically working because I have a vagina. You should distinct between "just playing games" (which is what anyone interested in the medium should...

Some of your statements seem kinda trollish and nitpicky. No, they re-recorded the soundtrack for CE and H2 for their anniversary versions. H2A even has new weapon sounds. I adore the graphics change button. I can see how the original was and what modern hardware can do. That is awesome...
