    Oh boy, have I missed this.

    Escapist Under New Management (Again)

    Haven't been on the forums in a while, I am excited to see where this goes!

    Poll: Which Was The Better Post-George Lucas Star Wars Movie?

    The Force Awakens was derivative, but it was at least fun. Rogue One was just boring.

    Zero Punctuation: Hob and Hat in Time

    What's sad is the former is most likely to happen, but the latter is least likely. All the gun nuts and paranoid shitheads are on his side, so there's no way he's getting assassinated. On topic, I've just gone and wishlisted Hatty Time, so thanks for that Yahtzee!

    Rockstar Unveils New Cinematic Trailer for Red Dead Redemption II

    So it's a prequel set in John Marston's gang but we're playing as someone who never turned up nor was ever mentioned in Red Dead Redemption 1. Oh dear, have I already spoiled the ending for this?

    What is the worst game you have ever played?

    I was already repulsed by the change in tone from Sands of Time that I was only playing with the bare minimum of will necessary to progress. So the first minor roadblock was enough to make me just stop since I didn't want to expend any extra effort.

    What is the worst game you have ever played?

    Funny you start with PoP 08, because my answer is Warrior Within. I couldn't get past the tutorial boss and had no desire to keep trying.

    So about that Total Biscuit article....

    Blame for this situation first and foremost has to go to the people who dogpiled Laura for posting what I thought was a well-written and surely worthwhile piece. It wasn't like this was just made to promote Totalbiscuit, it was part of a series on the subject of Twitch harassment. I legitimately...

    Hellblad: Senua's Sacrifice

    I like the idea of this game, but having seen an LP of the first hour or so, I'm less convinced. It promises a lot, but there seem to be too many repetitive simplistic puzzles and walking sections between combat encounters. I'm all for building atmosphere and the boss fights look stunning, but...

    Ideas for Death Battles?

    Back in 2015 when these games were at their height, I kept thinking it would be cool to see Geralt vs the Bloodborne hunter. Monster hunters vs monster hunter. Both with fast, aggressive fighting styles augmented by mutant powers and support weapons. Geralt has his signs, bombs and potions...

    Some choice driven story game recommendations please (PS4)

    Witcher yes, Persona 5 sort of (it has good and bad endings and romance options, that's about it) and Horizon, well not really. But you know, there are very few games promising the ability to "change based on how you play" that actually live up to that promise. The genie is well and truly out...

    Some choice driven story game recommendations please (PS4)

    If you want to expand your definition *ever* so slightly, Persona 5 and Horizon: Zero Dawn are PS4 exclusives with good stories, and the ability to define your character through dialogue to a certain extent. Plus they're both fun to play.

    Poll: DBZ fans which do you prefer, Freeza Saga or Cell Saga

    Frieza's better in manga/Kai form, since the filler stuff in the Z anime *really* dragged it down. Since I refuse to watch original Z any more, I'm going for Frieza. The final battle is such a classic. Cell saga's still damn good though, and yeah it did come out of the original anime slightly...

    Sony acquires Funimation

    Oh goody, does this mean I can watch My Hero Academia on my Playstation 4? That's a good show. I reckon Tom Holland would make a good live-action Midoriya. Other than that, doesn't look like much will be changing. I like Funimation, I like their dubs, they claim it won't affect how they...

    I don't think home consoles will survive the next generation

    I think comparing the consoles with PC is a fool's errand. Regardless of the objective differences between them, they cater to different markets and different needs. Exclusives aren't the sole things keeping consoles afloat; sure, a good killer app can sometimes make or break an individual...
