    Zero Punctuation: Dark Souls III

    You've had the same people many people have had. Straight Sword and Rapier are overpowered, even to the point where it's affecting peoples PvE experience. My first playthrough was with a dagger only character, and I experienced a good difficulty curve, if a little too much late in the...

    Single-player games shouldn't have create-a-character features

    Cannot disagree enough with this. I did not buy The Witcher, 1, 2 or 3. I rented 2 and played it more when it was free, and watched a lot of 3 because of constant pestering by friends... it doesn't interest me, and Geralt is the reason. I can't stand Geralt. He's boring, dry, and a wee...

    Games You Like That You Suck At

    Street Fighter for me. I once hated Street Fighter, as that's what most of the people I've met that play fighting games play, where I've always been into Soulcalibur and of course I was bitter about that. But after years of poking at Street Fighter IV I finally got a feel for how that game...

    Poll: What MMO class do you play and why?

    I haven't played MMOs for a very long time, until recently when I started FFXIV. I played the trial of FFXIV and started as a Warrior as normal (I usually play the strong, 2-hand weapons type of character), but I hate tanking. After realising the Marauder was both a tank class and boring as...

    What fighting game(s) did you guys play to make you hate fighting games so much?

    Certain attacks have invincibility, such as Shoryukens and many EX specials. Your limbs have hitboxes even while they're extended for attacks. Put the two together and yes, Seth can EX command grab your leg when you kick. That's part of how a lot of 2D fighters work, and you can do it too...

    What fighting game(s) did you guys play to make you hate fighting games so much?

    I've never dropped it in 2 years of play with her as my main. It is the simplest of inputs. X X RB (I use my meter button because it's just that much easier to do). The only time it ever fails is when the property it has that nullifies air control bugs out and they manage to air control where...

    What fighting game(s) did you guys play to make you hate fighting games so much?

    Nonsense. The point is that there is a lot of needless fluff. You can have different ends for different situations (spacing, damage, etc.) in a combo consisting of 2 hits, just by having multiple things that can connect from the first hit. You don't need 40. All this "micro-delay" nonsense...

    What fighting game(s) did you guys play to make you hate fighting games so much?

    Yeah, breakers are a good thing, but you can have those without combos that last so long. Meter usage is a decision, but doesn't really change but it doesn't help the issue of mindlessly reciting what comes before it. Thinking back to Marvel, you can decide to do a level 3 or level 1, but...

    What fighting game(s) did you guys play to make you hate fighting games so much?

    If it was on the 360, it would have to be the re-release of Soulcalibur 2, but that was fairly recent. Still, Soulcalibur doesn't have "special moves" really. Even with the sheer amount of attacks in Soulcalibur 2, I'm sure about half of the characters had nothing like a quarter-circle motion...

    What fighting game(s) did you guys play to make you hate fighting games so much?

    But that exactly what fighting games are. Predicting what your opponent is going to do will always be better than trying to react to attacks that can be as fast as 3 frames in some games. There are times when reacting is necessary, sure, but you don't need to for the majority of situations...

    Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto Online

    Heists are not missions. Missions are not heists. You can easily make $400k opening the phone and selecting Quick Job... Contact Mission in a few hours, and they don't fail when somebody dies.

    What fighting game(s) did you guys play to make you hate fighting games so much?

    This thread is already a real eye-opener. Only 13 posts in and I'm already really frustrated. I mean... Why would somebody do that? You could've done if you kept trying, and learnt something along the way! And you seriously cannot mash in any of these games that've been mentioned...

    Zero Punctuation: Mortal Kombat X - Test Your Might

    There's a bit of an error here Yahtzee. Raiden can only resurrect people with the help of Quan Chi, who dies... after which nobody else can be resurrected. I'm not up on my Mortal Kombat lore in any way, that's just what I got from this story mode.

    So Bloodborne

    I finally got round to trying out some PvP, having finished the game and been forced on to NG+. To be honest, it makes me miss Dark Souls 2. - The latency is probably less than Dark Souls 2, but the incredible pace makes that tiny amount worse. - Also because it is so fast paced, it is...

    8 Ridiculously Underrated Games

    Huh... I had no idea what Sim Golf was until I saw that picture and realised that I used to play that game a lot as a child. I haven't thought about it... ever. It's something that had completely gone from my mind. It's a weird feeling to have a memory restored like that...
