    Welp ProJared's career on the internet is now forever destroyed.

    I think he was a bit over 1 million before things started. News broke and he lost more than 80k.

    Games you've bought that you can't bring yourself to play

    I've bought a few horror games like Amnesia and Alien Isolation. Horror is interesting, and these are good examples of horror. I can watch people play them without any issues, and I recently watched and enjoyed the first two Alien movies. What could possibly go wrong? Well, being a complete...

    I have a hard on for Okami

    *rushes into Okami thread* Aw yeee, best Zel-..oh...ohhhh...we have a Zelda debate happening. I'll step away from that side of the thread. ... It may be long-winded (with unskippable cutscenes in the original). It may chug on a PS2. It may have terrible pacing at times (particularly at...

    8 Of the Hardest Bosses in the Dark Souls Series

    A certain dark-eating dragon and red-hooded man are missing from this list. Midir has a monster healthpool and kills most builds in 1-3 hits, and Gael is pretty damn frantic...and also with a monster healthpool (we died at the same time and it credited me with the win lol). Friede perhaps...

    Parts of games you found easy that others found hard.

    The water slums mission in Jak 2 is often hailed as the hardest mission of the game. You go through maze-like narrow walkways, above insta-kill water if you even dip a toe in there, plus you're getting flanked from all sides (and no checkpoints). It's super intimidating, but I never had too much...

    Nier: Automata Coming to PC on March 17, System Requirements Revealed

    I might not be of huge help, but I TECHNICALLY didn't make it above Dark Souls 3's requirements (I have a GTX 660 Ti, minimum is NVIDIA? GeForce GTX 750 Ti), but I too met all the "feature requirements". Ended up beating the game (mostly) on low with decent performance. Could've been better (I...

    Games that Aged INCREDIBLY well

    Considering how rocky 3D was in the 90s, Crash and Spyro have made it through relatively unscathed. Still very much playable and visually appealing (well, more than other games of that era at least. Spyro 1 still looks and feels a little janky). Spyro especially handles so smooth, especially in...

    8 of the Best Video Game Endings of All Time

    I would vote for Shadow of the Colossus, even if only because it deserves credit for being one of the most brutally depressing endings ever in a game (along with Spec Ops: The Line or Walking Dead S1). The entire ending sequence (roughly the last hour of the game) I remember struck me so hard...

    Zero Punctuation: The Last Guardian

    I enjoyed the game, but most of the criticisms I hear aren't wrong. There's some glitches and frame rate issues, controls are unwieldy (even for veterans of Team Ico games), puzzle design could be a lot clearer, the strict scripted events aren't always clear (for example, Dunkey's video above...

    Nominees Revealed for The Game Awards

    It's a puzzle-platformer by the creators of Limbo. Never played it but if it's anything like Limbo, it's likely dripping with atmosphere, has great sound design, and is deliciously dark and grotesque. OT: Happy Ratchet and Clank are getting some love (even if the story and movie sucked)...

    Pigs Fly, Hell Freezes Over, and The Last Guardian Goes Gold

    Seems like Yoshino's tweet may have been deleted because Yoshida wanted to say it himself. Also, still holding onto the theory that they pushed it to the December 6th (North American and Japanese) release date specifically because it's the 15th anniversary of Ico's release in Japan. I...

    Dark Souls 3 Ashes of Ariandel DLC Officially Confirmed for October with New Trailer

    I was thinking the exact same thing. People chatting about lore like to talk about Velka, yet if she's involved in anything, it's behind the scenes. Speaking of which, did anyone look at castle and go "Omg is that the Painted World?" Another place implied to have connections to Velka. *sits...

    Why does Dark Souls get so much praise?

    People like Dark Souls/Bloodborne for different reasons (that can be said for a lot of games, but whatever). I notice there's a lot of divisions in the community. For example, a lot of people love the fight with Sif in DS1 because of the emotional lore implications and the spectacle of fighting...

    Pokemon Sun and Moon Allows You to "Hyper Train" Level 100 Pokemon

    I IV breed my teams, but then again I was given a Japanese 6 IV Ditto. Half the work is already done when you already have a perfect mon that can breed with almost everything. Not sure if I would do it if I didn't have that Ditto, and even reaching for anything that doesn't have perfect or five...

    The Last Guardian hands on preview...

    Ya, it sounds like every complaint is something that seems to crop up in all of Team Ico's games. Almost all of my deaths in Ico were from dodgy camera angles (particularly to grab chains), and SOTC had a camera that lost sight of important things and chugged like a ************ in the FPS...
