    Chronicling my way through F***HUEG... I mean, Witcher 3

    Yeah, the water crossbow is so stupid. Submerging it makes it super powereful and more accurate in the game. In real life, would make it way less powerful and super inaccurate. It makes Geralt a god of death in the water, whereas it should be a serious weakness for him. Humans are very bad...

    The Witcher TV Series Is In the Works at Netflix

    Guess that shows how much of a cut the cable TV suppliers take?

    The Pacify/Kill Games - Why always Pacify?

    Really? I had no idea. A mix of years playing stealth games having trained me and a minor RP reason (I always hide bodies if playing a story-heavy stealth game because, even if I know the mechanics of their pathing, the character I'm playing doesn't know a random won't just walk through)...

    The Pacify/Kill Games - Why always Pacify?

    The new Deus Ex games, the melee takedowns. You can do either lethal or non-lethal. There is one small difference, non-lethal takedowns are quieter so have less risk of discovery. This irks me. 1. That is backwards, it would be quieter to kill than to subdue. 2. Since that is the only...

    New Gaming PC - Recommend me some AAA current gen games!

    FO4 - These games are for sandbox and modding to make the game you want. Story is there but ankle deep. Combat is better than previous entries. If you want to explore a world, great. If you want to immerse in a story and feel like you matter, not good. Skip. TW3 - There is very little wrong...

    Chronicling my way through Witcher 2

    I don't even remember an escort mission. Had to google it, I still don't remember it. So it defnitely didn't cause me any problems; I know that because I really enjoyed this game and would remember a speedbump like an escort mission (which are a pet peeve of mine, and everybody elses)...

    #005: Traveling Companion

    Highlighted for clarity. That's where my brain took me too. ... This probably says something about us.

    How to properly utlize an SSD?

    Edit: Heh, I meant works like a super-computer. But, I do try to keep on good terms with mine; you never know... You can create a symbolic link to hoodwink your PC into thinking things are on the partition you want it to think they're on...

    How to properly utlize an SSD?

    I've got a 256GB SSD as my main partition. OS and normal software (browsers etc) on it, as well as all the various DRM clients. No problem installing what games I want on there, it does however require some small discipline. You can't have your entire library installed. But, I can quite...

    Why is Soldier 76 seemed to be looked down upon by many Overwatch players?

    Typically, DD heroes are more fun than support. Not true for everyone or for all the heroes, but because of that... I tend to throw more recognition to the support classes than the others because they enable me to have fun on DD.

    So...Final Fantasy 15.

    I didn't even realise it was product placement, certainly didn't notice the brand. I thought it was just poking fun at young Japanese men, assuming that there's a stereotype that that is all that they eat/cook for themselves.

    So...Final Fantasy 15.

    I've enjoyed myself playing this game. Apart from Chapter 13. I am 29 and have been playing videogames for a good long part of that. I have never hated a game segment as much as I hate this one. I have had to pause it, make a cup of tea, boot up my laptop and tell you about it. I...

    How do I disable the Twitch livestream on Escapist front page?

    It is annoying AF. If you're not a Twitch user/viewer, you could edit your WIndows hosts file to redirect twitch.tv to an unused local IP (eg 172.30.30.30 is likely not being used on your network). That should break it (can't find the video source), though it might still play the ad?

    Mass Effect - Andromeda's Main Characters Are Brother And Sister

    I suspect you may not be entirely clear on how commisioning works, if you think the creators were doing it. Nevertheless, no of course not. Nor did I say that people cannot consider a AAA videogame art if they feel like it is. Buddy, you've yet to convince me of i rather than ii: i. EA...
