    Which PS1 classic RPG to play?

    PS1? Vagrant Story or FFIX were always fantastic. Grandia? If you have access to a PS2 or emulator, I can certainly suggested Drakengard 1, however. I only played it for the first time 2 years ago and was blown away by the experience. The graphics were terrible, the gameplay clunky (though...

    When Has a Game Made You Feel Absolutely Terrible? *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*

    Yes! You are the fucking man! I was going to post this one myself but thought I'd look in case someone else had actually played past the first playthrough. My god that game. Like all games in the Drakengard series, the first playthrough is never considered the "true" experience. Playing NiER...

    What's the most boring game you've aver played?

    FFXIII, Destiny, Duke Nukem Forever, Escape from Dead Island, Darksiders 2, Bodycount. There's a few, but those are the main offenders I can think of.

    Need some advice on Dragon's Dogma.

    Oh man, this is my jam. I spent hundreds of hours on DD. Firstly, sticking with one class for the entire playthrough is only hamstringing yourself. DD is designed so that you level up one class to the max, unlock all it's skills, then move onto another. Each class has passive skills that you...

    Tomb Raider Question

    As someone who has played every single Tomb Raider game to date, this would be my input on which ones would be worth playing in this day-and-age: #1 - No. It's DOS-day graphics, and while it's nice to see where the origins start, "Anniversary" is a decent remake, so better to just play that...

    8 Zombies Movies That Define The Genre

    What kind of an article is that? 8 pictures on 8 separate pages, one sentence description without any analysis or real reason why they're on the list. A preschooler could do this in his 'computing - basics' class. This is just blatant hit-grabs, isn't it? Disappoint, Escapist. Regardless...

    Australians Pirate Breaking Bad More Than Any Other Country

    I'm Australian, and while I'm not saying I do these things, if I were, I would ALWAYS purchase the DVDs or blu rays as soon as they're available. Assuming the show was of a quality worthy of that. Also, you'd be surprised how early access to things that haven't even come out on TV yet can...

    Gantz

    Oh wow, it's finally finished? But anti-climatically? Awww. That's disappointing. I saw the Gantz anime before the manga, and despised how badly they screwed it up. The concept was great, but they'd obviously jumped in way to early before barely any of the manga was done. So when I did finally...

    Your Dad Might Not Be Your Dad. Response?

    If by "Dad" you mean "Biological father"? Then I say meh. He is, but if he wasn't my biological father, it wouldn't matter, because he's my Dad. And I'd certainly have no interest in tracking down my real father. I'd probably be happy going on with life as if I'd never heard the news.

    Poll: How do you feel about the denial of EA being the Worst Company in America?

    For awhile there my loathing of EA gave way, and I began to lean more towards Activision (and by association, Actiblizzion for what Diablo and Starcraft has become). Silly me. EA always knows how to come back swinging! No stupid mistake is big enough to be out performed by the next one!

    Legacy of Kain series...

    I adore the Legacy of Kain series. It actually took me about 10 years to play the first one though, since I started with Soul Reaver (SR1, Soul Reaver 2, Blood Omen 2, Defiance). However, when I did eventually get to play it, I was pleasantly surprised to find it was very good. Addictive even...

    Preorders: Have you been screwed?

    Well, given that I work at a games store, I can pretty much return something I don't like within a week quite easily, so the number of games I get that screw me over are minimal. There are some things you can't return, however. Namely PC games with one use codes and collectors edition. My...

    Any Advice on the Hitman HD trilogy/ Bioshock Ultimate Rapture Edition?

    I can attest to Minerva's Den being brilliant. In fact, even though only being 1/10 the length of the proper Bioshock games, I probably enjoyed the story and it's twist even more then theirs. I'd recommend the Bioshock pack, simply cause they're a lot easier to get into and a lot more fun then...

    How to Make Horror Games Scary

    Hmm. Reading this thread, it seems like people want a scary movie, not a scary game. If they'd made Dead Space in the fashion some of you guys want, you wouldn't shoot a single thing until the end! It'd be 12 hours of walking around in super atmospheric, ambient musiced, "just catch a glimpse of...

    Dark Souls Softcore mode?

    Neither is backing up your save files, thereby negating any or all risk. That's like playing Hardcore Diablo 2, except making a character back up so when you perma-die, you just reload from the last save and try again ie: completely negating what Hardcore mode is all about. If you're going to...
