    Hyperdimension Action Neptune U... what game genre is this?

    I got Neptune U based on the supposed similarities to SK, and I guess they exist. But while the fanservice is much stronger in SK the focus is really on the gameplay, which is really good. And challenging. Especially the boss battles. Neptune U is a button masher with some anime chicks...

    What's your favorite Batman: Arkham game?

    Asylum. I only played up to the electric boss with the puddles - that was supposed to be a puzzle or something - in city, but was already so disconnected from the game at that point that I never picked it up again. Which does not happen to me very often. Probably one of the biggest steps...

    double post, sorry, something about the code of conduct I needed to confirm again. Feel free to delete.

    Disney Infinity discontinued, developers shuttered

    Infinity is actually not such a bad game. The combat engine is by Ninja Theory of DmC acclaim. So now I am hoping that I can get that Marvel playset for cheaps real soon. For my lil boy of course ;)

    Next Game You're Getting / Last Game You Brought

    Last game I bought was NG:Z Yaiba, which I found for cheap at a nearby retailer. Not sure I will finish the final boss. Can't figure out how to damage his second form and not super motivated to keep trying but a fun romp of a game up to that point. For the cheap pricepoint that is. Next game...

    Single-player, immersive drunk games

    The right answer is Far Cry 2. When you ran over enough Giraffes and Antilopes and finally crash your car you will find yourself running around the landscape for extended periods of time looking for camps which you can then proceed to attack. Then you either die an repeat or somehow succeed to...

    Poll: Hardest Souls Game (including Bloodborne)

    Haven't played Bloodborne and not sure I will. But how anyone can rate DkS1 over DkS2 is beyond me. I died more on the way to and against Darklurker alone than the entire first game.

    Zero Punctuation: Devil's Third

    A lot of the criticism about cheesy story, one dimensional characters, unexplained superpowers etc would apply to those games as well. Of course they play a lot better but turn up the difficulty and some of the boss battles will take you back :)

    Poll: 60fps vs 30fps? opinions?

    too add some actual peer reviewed level scientific facts to the discussion, I have it on good authority that the pc gamer in this picture has sub .3 ms reflexes and is actually training to be a cage fighter.

    That one boss/area that makes you think twice before replaying a game

    Elysia is poetry in motion. One of my favorite levels in any game. Anyhoo, on to my least favorite. The T-Rex boss in NG3RE. I mean we all know it is a lot better than NG3 vanilla but it's not good enough to warrant me going through that bs again. I started a hard run at some point but can't...

    What kills your motivation to play a game?

    Lots of things. Bad mechanics, not knowing where to go next, a frustrating (boss)battle, a long boring stretch. But always combined with an already low motivation to play the game. In a game I am commited to none of the above are a problem.

    What is your favorite non-Mario Kart mascot racing game?

    Wacky Wheels of course. Duh!

    Dark Souls is awesome! (Yes, I know I'm late to the party)

    Huh, the halberd in Dark Souls was considered OP?? I quit Demon's Souls pvp after all the hate mail about my halberd, but in Dark it wasnt very good as far as I remember. I used a Lucerne for a while but it was just ok. The rare drop halberd from the gargoyles was win if you knew how to use it...

    Dark Souls is awesome! (Yes, I know I'm late to the party)

    The good news is that you cannot go wrong! Demon's has the best atmosphere. They should bring back the nexus and world/character tendency! I actually liked the gameplay better too because it had dual wielding, no poise stat, and a roll that worked without ninja flipping. It also had the best...

    Idea: What if console users were given a choice in Framerate.

    Yep. Even Bayonetta 2 or Ninja Gaiden Razors Edge on the friggen Wii U run at 60fps when the screen isn't extra busy. DmC however runs at 30 on the PS3, and honestly, that game feels pretty responsive to me. I am sure there are freaks of nature who are able to us that extra 10 miliseconds to...
