Pff, its De Telegraaf. They are one of those papers that doesn't let things like truth and integrity get in the way of making money. This is... not strictly true. There are some companies out there that try to thrive by sueing the competition to death with idiotic patents. Nvidea and Apple...

I do take a bit of issue with wording like 'free monsters' or 'free maps' in a $60 game. But its good to hear the game has at least something going for it rather than being nothing more than a DLC peddling platform. I might peruse this one on a steam sale.

I hope this doesn't just become yet another DLC peddling platform. I don't expect it, but hey maybe that was all on Kalypso and the devs have an actual interest in delivering a good product.

I couldn't make this shit up if I tried... Defecating from the wrong end as a job shows it results I guess. And I wonder if this lot have played anything other than facebook games in their whole career? Really, without joking, I don't think they have. Anyhow just one more reason to pass...

I judged this book by its cover and it seems I was spot on! It's the American movie remake for video games. Watered down and missing the point by a landslide. That's not to say nothing good comes out of the new world of course, only that the remakes that something good and unique from...

Somewhere out there in a Gamestop warehouse there is a guy stripping down and reflowing xbox360 boards in a scrappy old oven... for 10$ a piece apparently. For 10 years now. Mmmm solder fumes! Because I really don't believe they properly replaced the defective solder. That's the problem with...

'Dismemberment is also a form of weight loss!' Is what I once told one of those people who constantly goes back and forth between binging one desserts and ridiculous diets. I don't think it really got the point across but at least I found it funny.

This calls for bad guy bingo, the villain cliché version of bullshit bingo! Shadowman was a pretty awesome game.

Heheh I know that video. Its rubbish, though the full metal jacket guy (he was an actual drill sergeant who played the role in the movie) does make it entertaining it least. Which as you said is what they were going for, its TV entertainment, not historic research. That aside it shouldn't...

Pollaxe. Most versatile medieval European weapon, once revered as the best weapon for armoured unhorsed combat but all but forgotten today. They can use used to hack, spike, stab, crush, hook, trip and pull. Plenty of treatises on their use survives to testify that every end of this weapon...

People texting in theatre? Don't get maced by them, hit them with a mace instead! None of that obnoxious screaming or gunfire noise! Just don't get any shattered skull fragments in your eyes!

Nice, no microtransaction BS. Didn't really expect them to do that in the first place but its nice to see it spelled out. Though... why 16 small bits and pieces of DLC? That stuff exists for the purpose of nickel and diming and often does not mesh as well with the rest of the game as larger...

Yaknow, I cant help but feel for Ubisoft's actual developers who have these absolute nobgobblers as spokespeople. Its not even remotely hard to see what happened here. Each new iteration has to be prettier and the frankly somewhat flimsy console hardware cant handle it. That's a pity...

CPU is somewhat underspeced in terms of IPC (power of a single core), note that games mostly use 2 cores, sometimes a bit of another 2 and only in very rare instances more than 4 cores. You can consider going for an i5-4440 instead which is decent value for money and should saturate the 970 GPU...

Questions are rarely just questions, especialy ones laced with as much passive agression and wrong presumptions as this. Not to mention you can disguise anything as a question. Accusations, insults, unpleasant insinuations. 'So where were you last friday between 15:00 and 16:00?' or 'Nice car...
