    Sword Art Online... I mean, c'mon. Really?

    I found it very entertaining, sure there is going to be cringe worthy quirks but the whole idea of people trapped within a game and the internal gaming community degrading into a " every man or woman for himself" with the various characters attempting to steal points and level up -- not really...

    Your favourite "historic" nations

    Hmmm... I'll have to go with the Vikings, who wouldn't want to observe a culture that was never defeated, always feared, and they were too north for anyone to attack. Pillaged coastal towns. Drank heavy booze, bloodied each other up for fun, and who knows how vast their adventures brought them.

    Your favourite "historic" nations

    Can't imagine any US president that could possibly be associated with Caligula. A horse for a senator, insecst, the invention of the finch tongue platter, crazy torturous Colosseum bouts, mandatory theater showings and you better clap!, making himself a god, his war on the ocean and his...

    Poll: Does Blizzard write good plots?

    Star Craft and Star Craft II was more or less game-world SF with a meager story line just to set the place up for the RTS game to have what it has in a space environment. I don't think they'll be winning any Sci-Fi literary rewards anytime soon. Having said that, there are pockets of...

    Games you stopped playing

    Hmmm.... Its funny because I've extra completed most of the games many people abandon due to their size - Fallout 3 ( Loved it!), Fallout NV ( No Gods, No Masters!), Skyrim - 2 playthroughs but never really strayed away from the same damn character I usually played, a double wielding...

    No PC Splitscreen, Pilotable Y-Wings For Battlefront

    Well if anyone is interested, having seen how the game might work from a alpha tester I knew --- The Y-Wings during the Hoth sample were basically in the game but they were not controllable. You had to basically maintain certain particular spawn points in order for the Rebels to " call in...

    Anybody find sex overrated?

    lol negative. Enjoy it and posses a healthy appetite for it. I think one of the problems is that sex in our society is always shoved in everyone's face 24/7 on high octane. If someone is a partner jumper or has the ability to hook up with multiple partners, they may end up with the same...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda Revealed - Update

    I know people like to meta-game and give out these extremely creative " What If.." scenarios but... Take it from a fan that was hooked since ME1. Don't bother busting your creative brain cells, pontificating possible plot connections to the Shepard story, nor wasting your time wondering...

    The First Fallout 4 Details Revealed - Update

    Well I don't know --- I am very much debating whether to get that 115.00 collectors edition... The only problem is, I never really do much with them and at some point, what ever it is, ends up collecting dust somewhere on a shelf. Perhaps since I am older, it doesn't mean as much 10 years...

    Can someone explain something to me about Ass Creed Unity

    The Co-Op mission idea is cool...when you actually have people whom want to cooperate in a team effort besides going off and being useless. I find all of this Co-op mission attempts to be for the most part, attempts at fusing the game community into working with each other even though...

    Games you honestly don't get bored of...

    Star Craft - Long campaigns and brutal battles. SCII was a bit too fast paced and short. Streets Of Rage TMNT Arcade Game Ace Combat: The Belkan War Return to Castle Wolfenstien Sins of a Solar Empire ME Series ( minus the last portions of No. 3) Skyrim Fallout 3...

    Call of Duty is now Deus Ex

    Only reason these things are thought of as " copying" is the same reason the watching public still watches with ravenous delight, the 10 shows that have CSI in it, rinsing and repeating, over and over, still lingering into multiple seasons even though its the same damn subject and the same...

    Can misleading marketing be justified?

    False advertisement sucks but I figure its merely part of game selling, the dev does his poker play to see if you'll bite and buy the extra edition or resist and call the bluff, waiting to actually see the product. Is it fair? So far as I can tell there is nothing illegal written in the books...

    Mass Effect 4 Details Possibly Leaked

    I wouldn't mess with pre-quel content myself, that seems to be more associated with fan based fiction or left for books/comics to fill the void. I think people would more or less want to play a game that has a suspenseful progression than pretty much knowing what will occur years down the...

    Mass Effect 4 Details Possibly Leaked

    Is there anyone really surprised? They kind of painted themselves into an impossible corner with the ending of ME3. Which ending of the bad endings would they choose as cannon? Would it have been a game where you started off with low-tech to build it back up to the point where the races were...
