    What was wrong with Dragon Age Inquistion

    It was released after Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2, so all trust in Bioware was gone by that point.

    "How Cover Sytems Ruined Shooters..."

    I despise run-and-gun gameplay, that's what ruins shooters for me and why I dislike most of the entire genre. Cover shooting is much better, but sneaking and sniping is the most fun I have in shooters. Camp in one place and take targets down with carefully placed single shots, disappear when...

    Gaming Unpopular opinion

    That's one I agree with. I never understood all the complaints about the Mako, I really enjoyed it.

    Gaming Unpopular opinion

    Shooters in general are a shit genre and their dominance of the gaming world for the last fifteen years has been a major contributor to the blandness of the gaming landscape. "Multiplayer only" is a cheap cop-out for devs who have an idea for mechanics and a setting but have no clue how to...

    Poll: What is your most anticipated upcoming FPS?

    Depends what you're looking for. If you want a fast moving arcade experience then sure, it's not more fun. You want a game with some degree of realism then having to aim down the sights is fun. That doesn't mean that it's wrong to prefer one type of game to the other, but it IS wrong to claim...

    Poll: What is your most anticipated upcoming FPS?

    So you dislike realism, in other words. If you shoot from the hip in real life you're not going to hit anything further away than five feet. And if you move around while aiming you're also not going to hit anything. The "fast paced action" you mention is utterly unrealistic and only has a place...

    In what situation is it socially acceptable for a 20 year old to date a teenager?

    If they're both above the legal age of consent, and the relationship is working for them, then who gives a shit? Why do people insist on sticking their noses into other people's business all the time? I've known couples with a fifteen year age difference who were fantastic together, and the vast...

    Remember the days when gamers were complaining that games had no replay value?

    Exactly, they wanted games like The Witcher 3. Unfortunately there aren't yet any other games like The Witcher 3.

    One Piece Manga Getting An American TV Series

    At least they're not really ruining anything good, it's just be yet another shit TV show.

    Poll: Escapist Game of the Year

    Platform exclusives are a cancer on the industry and should be stamped out with extreme prejudice. Yes, it should rule out any Mario game as well. PS3/PS4 aren't really different platforms, just different generations of the same platform. The only time a platform exclusive should be at all...

    Poll: Escapist Game of the Year

    I really don't think any game that is exclusive to a single platform should even be up for consideration. So that would rule out Persona 5, Zelda, and Horizon Zero Dawn.

    "2017 has been one of the best gaming years" - Yay or nay?

    Almost exactly what I look for in my gaming as well, though replace 4X with vehicle sims and visual novels. Frankly, 2017 has been a kinda shit year for PC games. Nothing of any real note has come out this year that I can recall. All the best games I've played this year have been from 2016...

    GOTYTDCOTY 2017

    Dishonored 2. It was a bit short but still an enjoyable followup to the first game.

    Witchfire new FPS for PC from former People Can Fly/painkiller/bulletstorm devs

    Looks pretty awesome apart from the fact that it's a shooter. I'd totally be interested if this were a first-person RPG in the vein of Elder Scrolls or something like that. But TBH I am so frickin' tired of guns. Let's have some more interesting first person games that aren't about just blasting...
