    This is Why Criticizing Anita Sarkheesian is Irrelevant and Pointless

    Anita is nothing but an attention you-know-what. Instead of actually using kickstarter to fund a game(she wouldn't even have to make it herself) that appeals to women's sensibilities(since those mysoginistic bastards in the industry want to keep it a boy's club), she is just whining...

    Misunderstanding PC gaming

    Since we are getting in this whole PC-Consoles debate on price range,I have to say that PC gaming on the whole isn't really that expensive if you look at it long term. It's merely a stereotype that stems from the uber nerds of the PC gaming community that like to get extremely expensive hardware...

    Stealth Games Don't Have to Be About Killing People

    It just goes to show how far the stealth genre has fallen that we even have to ponder this. Thief, the best stealth series of all time, literally gave you a game over if you KILLED a guard(and let's face it, the only way to truly play thief was on expert setting). Knockouts at most were...

    Jimquisition: The Creepy Cull of Female Protagonists

    Why do people keep on pushing this "moar females" crap onto every major gaming website? Females aren't prominent in "hardcore" gaming(read: the medium buget titles up to AAA) because it is male dominated through and through(most of the programmers and audience are males) and will probably always...

    Assassins Creed 3 - The Best Assassins Creed Yet.

    If it weren't for the repetitiveness of AC1 and the shortness of the campaign in Revelation(plus the worst multiplayer of the series IMO), AC3 would actually be the worse AssCreed game for me. It is by no means a bad game but it just disappoints in a few major areas. The good: improved...

    Poll: Is Spec Ops: the Line overrated?

    It is merely a good game, not the GOTY that so many here claim it to be. It suffers, much like the Walking Dead, from movie-itis, which wouldn't terrible in itself if it weren't for the mind numbingly banal gameplay. You basically have a shooting gallery from behind cover with 2-3 commands...

    The Assassins and Templars are Idiots

    Can't believe that I'm agreeing with Yahtzee but he is 100% on this one. I know it may irk some of our american friends but people outside of their country don't really care about US history(while it did affect some things in the modern world it's pretty insular, affected mostly americans and it...

    I don't like babies

    It's because quite a lot of gamers are young people themselves(teens or pre-teens) and/or manchildren(in the case of some guys).Entering parenthood means that you know have a bigger responsability than your own life and many,many people don't want to deal with that even if it means that they...

    Poll: Does pirating a game to test it make it okay?

    Good post and this is something people don't seem to get. When I started gaming, it was unthinkable for a game NOT to have a demo. Nowadays it seems to be the exception. Hell, I couldn't wait to get hold of a computer magazine when I was a kid just because they had lots of demos(this was way...

    Do gamers have a bit of an ego?

    I'm not gonna analyze the ego bit but this statement is pretty much true. These 2 series, along with every other brown and gray shooter, are like the nerfed versions of much much better shooters, such as quake series, unreal tournament, doom, old duke nukem, serious sam, etc. etc. etc. These...

    GTA V for PC Petition

    Here's the thing, that wasn't moaning, it was valid criticism pointed at a developer that seems to have forgotten how to properly port for PC. If I pay 60 bucks for GTA IV on release day, I want a freaking good PC game now, not weeks later after they fix it. GTA IV was absolute crap from a...

    Poll: Does pirating a game to test it make it okay?

    One of the most hilarious things I've read on the internet. And you seem to forget that I PAYED for the game. The guys making the game didn't lose a sale but I did have to demo it myself first. I'm not gonna waste lots of money on something I don't test, if only for a little bit. Obviously a...

    Poll: Does pirating a game to test it make it okay?

    System requirements don't tell you s**t about how it will run on your particular machine, it just gives you the big picture.I don't know, for example, how many FPS will by game reach - it's one thing to play a game at 12 FPS and quite another at 30-35. On my old machine, Witcher 2 ran at 13...

    Poll: Does pirating a game to test it make it okay?

    I wanna say it's wrong but pirating a game for testing purposes does it have its merits. Most companies don't bring out demos and testing websites(such as systemrequirementslab, to see if the game will run) are hit and miss. And I certainly won't trust the mostly sold out gaming press who...

    Poll: Have the last 6-7 years really been that good for video games?

    Post 2000 but not because of any inherent quality that they might have but because I am a gamer and as a gamer I want to check out new releases, I feel it's only natural that way. It would be weird for me to compare gaming decades without taking a look at today's releases. I rarely play older...
