    Zero Punctuation: Pyre

    I might be remembering wrong, but I seem to remember the majority of Dragon Age 1 party members being very mortal and/or miss-able (can't speak to the other 2 games). Not even counting the end of the game possibilities: Leliana can be told to bugger off, or be killed when you defile a...

    Zero Punctuation: Get Even

    "You might want to hold a fishing net in front of you or something because when you hear this your eyes might just roll out of your head-" Ok, I'm prepared "Coal Black" ...I was not prepared.

    There's Not Much Role-Playing in Role-Playing Games These Days

    I think part of the problem with figuring out a way to untangle dialogue from major effects on the game (such as gating content, even if it doesn't affect stats directly) without making it seem hollow and unimportant is because in real life what you say and how you say it matters so much. Even...

    Zero Punctuation: Mass Effect Andromeda

    That's a matter of perspective isn't it? If someone cares mostly about the shooting+powers gameplay then it probably doesn't make it unplayable or affect it much at all. But some people pay for a game like this with the expectation it will immerse them, and it's really, really hard to stay in...

    Zero Punctuation: Mass Effect Andromeda

    Pretty sure people have been using it that way for a while. Though of course that doesn't make it any less confusing as to how it fits or why.

    Community's Abed Stars in Journey to Un'Goro Web Series

    Maybe spending money on big-name celebrities and sets like this isn't the best idea right after you hiked the price. Blizzard just seems like they're trying to poke the beehive at this point.

    Zero Punctuation: Gravity Rush 2

    I don't know if 'missed' is the right word when he wrote right in the end card he's not putting up with 'true ending' bollocks. While we can debate the merits of whether someone producing content should or shouldn't be obligated to it until we're blue in the face, personally I'm getting real...

    Dear Valve: Please Fix Steam in 2017

    I can't agree with the logic of this post, at least in terms of specifically the video-game industry. One, between the costs of certification processes and the fact the console owner takes a giant swath of the income, a developer selling on steam even at a massive discount is still seeing as...

    Hearthstone Devs Want to Be More Open, But Are Worried About Harrasment

    Oh what a bullshit excuse. I'm not trying to underplay how severe I think online harassment is, but in this specific case: 1. You're not a teenager posting selfies on Facebook, you're a god damned corporation who has to do it if you want to not have your game crash and burn. 2. After all this...

    Dishonored 2 Has a 9 GB Day 1 Patch

    Blame the certification process of getting on to various platforms, especially consoles. Everything that goes on to, say, Xbox for example has to go through an immensely long and expensive certification process to ensure it meets whatever requirements Microsoft says something must meet to be...

    New Hearthstone Expansion - Mean Streets of Gadgetzan - Announced

    Fingers crossed that Priest gets stronger without reaching Shaman levels of ridiculous, and hopefully in a way that boosts its anti-aggro power rather than its anti-control power. I shudder at the thought of every game being a Shadow Madness (and its new little sister)/Cabal Shadow Priest/Mind...

    Mediocre Videogame Movie Director Uwe Boll Retires, Says "The Market is Dead"

    You forgot how he ducked fighting Seanbaby as soon as he found out Seanbaby had actual martial arts experience.

    Video Game Voice Actors Will Go On Strike this Friday Unless a Deal is Reached

    I don't understand any of the comments calling them greedy, woe are the other people on the development team, etc. The voice actors are willing to actually roll the dice on their future to be treated better. The idea of 'well everyone gets treated like shit except CEOs so you should too' baffles...

    More Card Nerfs Hit Hearthstone - Shaman, Warrior, and Yogg-Saron

    Exactly what 18 damage Doomhammer combo is being referred to? Doomhammer(2+2=4) + Rockbiter(3+3=6) + Rockbiter(3+3=6) = 16 damage. And it can still be done at 9 mana (5+2+2), or split over multiple turns. I assume this meant the Al'Akir+Rockbiter+Rockbiter Combo As for comments on the nerfs...

    Fallout 4 Still Has No Mods on PS4, But Bethesda Wants Them "As Fast As Humanly Possible"

    Well that's a relief, I mean, coding problems have never gone horribly wrong because some executive who knows shit-all about system engineering said to do something 'as fast as humanly possible', right?
