    Do you find playing a character of the other gender awkward?

    In videogames? Not in the slightest. When it comes to roleplaying games and such, it depends if it's set in a historical period where women were treated and/or expected to act/dress in certain ways that I've little or no knowledge of. But then again, I feel that same discomfort when asked to...

    What game do you want to be translated?

    Ace Attorney Investigations 2 & Professor Layton Vs Ace Attorney. If souls were a thing, I'd sell mine for English language copies of those in a heartbeat.

    So,,, technically KOTOR never happened and Kyle Katarn probably isn't a Jedi anymore...

    The rule of thumb with any EU is the primary material (for Star Wars, the 6 live action films and the Clone Wars tv show) are, along with statements from the head creative person (Lucas in this case) are absolute canon. Everything else can be considered canon until the "main" canon contradicts...

    Poll: Can trolling ever go too far?

    I think trolling in-and-of-itself is too far. Winding up somebody you know who'll either take it in good humour or you can later explain and apologise to is one thing. But harassing, bullying, arguing with or otherwise trolling strangers at best makes a completely innocent person have a bad time...

    GameStop Says Gamers Won't Buy Consoles Without Used Games

    I wouldn't even consider buying a console without used games if publishers insist on their huge retail prices. I'll happily buy cheap games second hand, from services like Steam or GOG or rent them all year round, but can only ever afford to sink money into a new AAA release once or twice a...

    Poll: Best Final Fantasy Game.

    For me, IX then VI. VI is probably the better game in terms of mechanics, but I still prefer IX for its world, music, characters and such.

    Games that have lost their way

    I can totally see that. Fallout 3's pretty iffy like that, but to me it had enough retro 50's vibe and sense of desolation to remind me a lot of Fallout 1, whereas New Vegas reminded me way more of Fallout 2. I share some of the complaints about how different Fallout 3's tone is (and stuff like...

    Games that have lost their way

    A lot of the comments here seem to be discussing a change in genre, which I don't think should be an automatic qualifier. Personally, I don't think Mass Effect, Dragon Age or Fallout lost the core of what they were about when they decided to ease up on the RPG aspects, because to me the core of...

    Games that limits your "fun" options in order to stay in character or to get the "golden ending"

    One of the things I really liked about Mass Effect was that I was free to be both the peaceful, by-the-book Paragon and the risk-taking win at any cost Renegade without any penalty other than the future conseequences of my actions. And so I was very annoyed when it was all but impossible to have...

    Characters people love that you hate.

    Wolverine. Ooh, he's so edgy cause he kills! Except stabbing guys in the gut and never dying is just boring, and that kind of shallow "edginess" is not enough for me. He's also overexposed as hell, has this ridiculously convoluted backstory and gets some kind of magic pass to still be ungodly...

    Fan theories you firmly believe in

    That Jenova was controlling Sephiroth and not the other way around. Because even with Crisis Core to expand on it, I don't see how Sephiroth snapped the way he did or how Sephiroth was able to bring an ancient world-eating parasite into submission when every other person with Jenova cells can be...

    Critically Panned Games You Will Defend to the Death

    ^ This. The Warriors franchise is about having fun watching the bad acting and mowing down thousands of dudes with silly weapons and insane fighting styles for me, and I neither expect nor demand anything more from it. Also Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup wasn't too well reviewed when it...

    Your Least Played RPG Class (Tabletop Or Video Game).

    Depending on the game in question, either the mage or rogue. Games that offer a class system tend to also have a strong narrative focus, which is why I play them. So classes that require either intense combat micro-management or a lot of forethought in creating a build for them don't appeal to...

    Super Smash Bros Wishlist!

    Personally I prefer the more "casual friendly" approach of Brawl, but as a compromise, I'd have mechanics like tripping and Final Smashes be able to be flipped on an off, like Items can be. You could maybe also have similar flip switches for the more advanced techniques Melee fans wanted to be...

    The Avengers - you can say quim but not c...Huh?

    Yeah only people with a fairly hefty knowledge of "Ye Olde Englishe" will know what it means without being told, so it's just Joss sneaking in a swear word.
