    Names Too Generic/Complex?

    Halo was always pretty terrible with names so it's not surprising to hear that the tradition has been carried over to Destiny. I've always wondered if the naming in Halo was kept rather simple because they didn't want to encounter the issue of creating "sci-fi" sounding names for things that...

    Do people dismiss new/low post members?

    Although I've only been a member here for a year or so, I've been frequenting the Escapist since around 2007. Since then, I've gained a real appreciation and admiration for so much of the Escapist forum community and decided to take the plunge and join for the same reasons you did, whilst...

    EA: "If The Sims 4 Isn't Successful, There Won't be a Sims 5"

    So that statement you released the other day about wanting to get away from the "Worst Company of the Year" title being followed by this statement, makes the former seem even more disingenuous now, doesn't it? Not only are you charging a very hefty price for The Sims 4 when it has even less...

    EA: We Never Want to Be Named Worst U.S. Company Again

    As well as generally start treating their customers with respect, rather than lying to them at every turn, and stop absorbing smaller, more popular companies and having them die off a few years down the line.

    EA: We Never Want to Be Named Worst U.S. Company Again

    So you say you want to get away from the title of worst company of the year, while simultaneously releasing Sims 4 at an obscene price with even less features than the previous entry to the series? When, and if, you actually realise what mistakes you are consistently making then maybe...

    League of Legends Will Reboot Story, Ditch Old Lore, in Future Updates

    I'm half and half on this decision. Yeah, some of their lore is a bit meh at the moment, but I don't see how they could only change the negative half without changing the positive half in some way. So, to me, it seems like they'll have to smash down all the lore they've built up and start from...

    Lords of the Fallen Combines Dark Souls and Warhammer

    Don't get me wrong, I get that that's a big thing for a lot of people, but as I said, I'm not the most patient person. I like having that sense of victory in having accomplished a tricky spot in a game, especially in Dark Souls. However, I do feel that Dark Souls goes a bit overboard with it...

    What game made you fall in love with gaming?

    Like a few others here, I can't really remember a time in my life where games weren't there, but there was definitely a selection that really ignited the sparks. TimeSplitters (1,2 and 3) were also games that I must have invested a large part of my childhood into, alongside my brothers once...

    Lords of the Fallen Combines Dark Souls and Warhammer

    Even on PC? EDIT: Huh, apparently so. Me being a bit ignorant there then, I do apologise. I think the point I was sort've trying to get at is that I can't save and then continue on from that point, and if I happen to die, go back to that point. It will always take you back to the last...

    Lords of the Fallen Combines Dark Souls and Warhammer

    That's what got me about Dark Souls, it has a lot going for it for me... apart from the save system. Oh, that save system. I won't apologise to anyone for having gotten used to auto-saving or being able to open the menu and click "save game" when I need to do so. So when Dark Souls only has...

    The Pickup Artist #2

    Ahh one of the Jones brand of fridges, well now it makes sense. Anyway, there could always have been a worse outcome when he opened the fridge door...

    The Pickup Artist #2

    I admire Erin's (worrying) dedication to the joke. Although that [I/]is[/I] an incredibly spacious fridge.

    The Safe haven thread: Talk about anything

    I've got my very first day of University coming up in just less than 2 weeks, so I'm both pumped and nervous for that. The time between then and now is going teeth grindingly slowly, however. So to try and fill the void I've been doing a few things: 1 - I just started reading [I/]Ready Player...

    So whatcha playing Escapists?

    Recently I've really been looking for games that I can sink a lot of time into and so recently picked up Civilisation 5. So the past 2 nights I've loaded the game up, then idly checked my phone 5 minutes later to discover that actually 6 hours have passed, the sun is now rising outside and I...
