    Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty: Ghosts

    Tried to play it. Got a 33 second ad for a 45 second video and I closed the shit out of that window. As for the review, I thought it was pretty funny in the first half, then I saw the implication that including a German Shepard was part of a racist agenda and the stupidity knocked me out...

    What's the game that you hate that everyone else seems to love?

    Definitely Skyrim. I never got the Oblivion and Morrowind love either(haven't played Daggerfall and the other one) I am actually to the point where I am genuinely wondering if those people praising it and claiming to still play and have over 300 hours logged in are even for real. I honestly feel...

    Best snipers and/or marksmen in video games

    The W2000 Sniper from the Hitman games, most notably Blood Money. There's something about spending tens of thousands of dollars to upgrade your rifle to perfection and then using it to fire 2-3 rounds for the whole game that just... makes you feel like a pro.

    things you hate about games/franchises you love

    I love all Bioware games for their stories and characters, but I despise the cheesy, awkward, painfully bad, sometimes practically forced romances. The writers can't write good romance dialogues to save their lives. "Kiss me, you blabbering fool", anyone? The only reason I even romanced...

    Nine Commandments of Good Video Game Design

    Thou shalt not make unskippable and unpausable cutscenes. I don't give a shit what your reasons are, shit happens, games crash, phones ring, etc. If I have to rewatch your 5 minute cutscene, because your game crashed on me right after it finished, or because I had shit to do and you wouldn't...

    Your favourite game moment?

    I'm going to go with a gameplay moment since I have tons of pre-determined cutscene moments(or dialogues) which I love. In STALKER(the first one), I love those little moments, where after you've cleared one of those horrifying, dark, oppressive, depressing underground labs full of mutants...

    Greatest Voicework in a Game, EVER!

    So happy that my two choices (Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines and Legacy of Kain series) got mentioned on the first page. Gotta add Alpha Protocol too, because it's also great and hasn't been mentioned yet and Obsidian are incredible. But, gun to my head, if I had to pick the best of...

    That moment that killed the game.

    In the original Dead Space - that moment with the meteor. Where you have to use your grav boots to stick to it and place a beacon. Always got killed by those rotating blades on top of it. Like... literally dozens of times. Watched a walkthrough on youtube and saw the guy nail it with annoying...

    What is your biggest gaming weakness?

    I'm a sucker for any kind of character progression system in games, which don't typically have it. Any games(FPS, TPS, FTL, whatever). Any character progression. Unlocking new weapons/armor/moves you say? Sold. I'll play your game till 3AM, I don't care how shitty it is.

    Gaming worlds you would want to live in

    Arcadia from The Longest Journey/Dreamfall seems pretty sweet. Always had a thing for medieval fantasy worlds, and unlike most, this one's looming Big Bad(the Azadi) look like they'll stay out of your way if you stay out of theirs, which'll leave you free to enjoy the gorgeous magical...

    Let's rage about gamers

    Bulgarian here, как дела? :) Honestly, it's pretty much the same here, with most people who consider themselves serious gamers being insufferable elitist, oldfag, pricks, who constantly lament over the superiority of old games. Usually their opinions...

    Favorite Game, Yours, What is it? Why?

    Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. I absolutely adore this game. I wouldn't say it's the best game I've ever played(either best gameplay, or best story), but it IS the one I enjoy replaying the most, it's my favorite game world to experience and explore. Everything fits in together so well...

    What Do You Usually Make Your RPG Characters Look Like?

    Don't really care that much. If it's a (mostly) first person RPG(Elder Scrolls, Fallout:NV) I generally don't bother to even look at the options. If it's third person, with a lot of cutscenes and dialogues(like Mass Effect), I just go with the default, pre-set option, since that usually looks...

    Has "Call of Duty" become the new "Hitler"?

    Fuck me with a stick, but I don't know why you're getting so many annoyed responses, OP. I instantly understood what you meant and I agree with you completely. In fact, I've been thinking the same thing for a while. My theory on why people use this line is this: They are so completely...

    This is Why Criticizing Anita Sarkheesian is Irrelevant and Pointless

    Wait, I'm confused. In the link she says "Thanks #XboxOne #E3 press conference for revealing to us exactly zero games featuring a female protagonist for the next generation" But an article on the front page of the Escapist says "Mirror's Edge 2 was announced at the EA E3 2013 press conference...
