    Gaming PC for $399.00-$499.00

    People put way too much emphasis towards cores. I don't know who started this misconception, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the marketing department of a CPU producer (so AMD since they're the ones that seem to be pushing cores way more than Intel). There are so many things to look at...

    Poll: Question for all the Mass Effect players out there

    Male here playing female shepard. For me games like RPG's aren't about finding the perfect representation of myself, because I'm boring. So I would rather go the direct opposite route, or at least try to find something more interesting. There tend to be more male protagonists, so a female one...

    Assassins Creed Rogue or Unity which looks more exciting.

    Can you name a couple of AAA games that feature climbing to the extent that AC does? How do you propose you make it less basic without also making it horribly convoluted? I can think of only like Prototype, which is literally running up a wall.

    Good soccer game for PC?

    Hey, so I recently got the urge to play soccer on PC, but since I rarely ever play those kinds of games, I'm sort of at a loss for what series I should try. I tried some Fifa game a long time ago but it was a horrible PC port, I assume they tend to prioritize consoles. I know the main...

    Where is it now: Guild Wars 2

    I mean to play it past the story/level cap you really need to go out of your way to set goals for yourself. There is ascended armour and legendary weapons, which are barely better than exotics, but take a decent amount of money and other activities to get. So you end up doing daily dungeons...

    Poll: 35minutes of Witcher 3 gameplay demo (E3)

    It's gameplay, but it's gameplay of a game that isn't out yet, so there's still no reason to watch it and get hyped. Watch gameplay when it's out, and watch gameplay from an actual critique, that isn't scripted or otherwise messed with to show off the good stuff and hide all the bad stuff...

    Poll: 35minutes of Witcher 3 gameplay demo (E3)

    Not hyped all. Why? Because I didn't watch the trailer ;) I see no benefit in buying into that hype. The only thing it will do is make me disappointed if the game doesn't live up to it. So if I see a game I'm interested in, I just wait until it comes out, watch some gameplay, and decide if I...

    Kickstarter-funded Yogscast Game Cancelled

    If that's the median income, keep in mind developers tend to get paid a lot more than the average job

    Online trolls. Creative ways of dealing with them?

    Not sure about the GTA stuff but when it comes to verbal trolls, really the only solution is ignoring them. Any acknowledgement, even if you think you're "trolling them back" serves only to entertain them, give them more to go on etc. A decent troll already has the mindset of not caring at all...

    I invite all Escapists to Wildstar's open beta!!

    I do agree that maintaining MMORPG's can be a costly thing, which is why I could bitterly accept monthly payments, but in that case an initial purchase is not justifiable to me

    I invite all Escapists to Wildstar's open beta!!

    In that case it's fine. I wonder, is it possible to keep up the monthly payments with ingame gold while still realistically enjoying the game? If I play, let's say, a couple of hours per day on average. Because fuck if I'm going to pay 60 eur (unless they actually translated the usd-euro...

    I invite all Escapists to Wildstar's open beta!!

    Did you spend a lot of time in some form of closed beta? That's the only justification for promoting somebody elses game like this

    Is Half-Life 3 really that anticipated?

    I don't think the people that ask for HL3 are ACTUALLY asking for Half Life 3. They're just asking for a game in that universe that would answer some questions that have remained unanswered in the previous HL games (and arisen in stuff like Portal 2). So a nice solution would be to make a...

    Rewiews ? i no longer trust "Positive Reviews" only negative, am i living in a paralell universe ?

    ...yeah, you shouldn't "trust" reviews. If you're a responsible consumer, you'll pick out the objective facts from the reviews, then watch some gameplay on youtube and formulate your own opinion, whether it be positive or negative. If you do that, you don't have to "trust" any reviewer. I...

    Poll: Elder Scrolls Online, a few weeks after release.

    Well, I personally stopped paying attention to it when I realized that they're triple dipping with an initial fee, monthly payments and THEN a cash shop.. Not sure but it probably has some preorder crap as well just to milk some extra money out of the consumers. I ignored videos and...
