    Zero Punctuation: Spider-Man

    Russ bought it up in his review and I've had conversations with friends that have encountered similar problems. I agree though I'd say it's the first 20% of the game which is frustratingly difficult. After that it becomes steadily easier the introduction in third act to the top tier grunts...

    Zero Punctuation: Spider-Man

    Yeah trying to Batman your way through the game is a sure fire way to see the loading screen a lot. Plus there is no 'counter' in this game. My main issue with combat comes to the escalation curve, the Arkham games had a steady curve that built up through the game. This roughly...

    Early screening of Justice League deem it 'unwatchable'

    So out of 4 films so far released in the DCEU 50% count as "most".

    The Escapist Classic Videos: Doomsday Arcade Ep. 01

    Although we'll never know exactly why other than the contract running out and LRR going out on their own to do the 10th season of sketches whilst keeping some content of the escapist. I've always though it was brilliant timing on their behalf as such their fans already had migrated some part...

    Fuck The Witcher 1. Seriously. (rant)

    The Witcher 1 is garbage I know many people who gave up with it and tossed it aside ever to pick up the series again. I only completed it out of sheer bloody mindedness for completeionist sake before starting Witcher 3. Witcher 2 is alright I'm not a fan but I can see why some people really...

    Mass Effect Andromeda Cinematic Trailer Shows Off New Enemies, Including Giant Space Worm

    I don't remember the combat gameplay in ME1 being anything but awful and the last time I played it was last year. It also had a massive amount of time wastage in the exploration elements. ME2 & 3 were refinements but they were still massively problematic. People get hemped up about the...

    Middle-Earth Limited 30-Disc Collector's Edition Includes Lord of the Rings and Hobbit Films Plus Bonus Materials for $800

    Studio's fault, when Peter Jackson was pitching LotR he was struggling to fit it into two movies but knew it unlikely he'd get three green lit. The studio saw what he was attempting to do and told "lets be honest its three movies". As proved by the extended versions there were actually almost...

    Star Trek Beyond - Live Long and Prosper

    It was a suitable Sci for action film as Star Trek it failed misteably and I fail completely to understand how any one can think otherwise. The frustrating thing as the nice mcnuggets of Trek lore placed around the film this site was clearly written by someone who loves and understand Trek...

    "Sad Affleck" Meme Surfaces Following Negative Batman Vs. Superman Reviews

    I always saw the whole Batfleck freak-out as a bit a nontroversy. Anyone with a half a brain and had seen Argo and Gone Girl thought of it as a pretty good choice as opposed to remembering films from well over a decade ago. I'm really not sure how much of initial fallout was just people doing...

    Zack Snyder: The Force Awakens Killed More Civilians Than Man of Steel

    Snyder kind of has a point....and doesn't. How many people died on Starkiller base? How many were just general grunt's like Finn who hadn't escaped.? At the end of the day it's war and it's justified but the heroes did kill probably millions of people. Lets try to remember in MoS...

    Batman v Superman - Dawn of Justice - Cultivating Apathy

    It's not great but it's not terrible either people saying it's terrible really need to watch Batman & Robin again and I think it's probably better than the Tim Burton Batman movies (which have not aged well post Nolan Trilogy). I'm interested to see what ended up on the cutting room floor...

    XCOM 2 Review - Welcome Back, Commander

    Broslinger clearly trolling and reading what he wants to read as he cherry picks the quotes. Watch me take something completely out of context from the same post. EDIT: I'd happiy argue the worst mechanic of the game is stealth. Which whilst a nice idea just doesn't work combined with...

    XCOM 2 Review - Welcome Back, Commander

    I've sucked a whole bunch of my life into this game already....as for turn limits yeah no idea what beef is with that it provides impetuous to get the mission objectives done. I think I've had a couple of missions go down to the last couple of turns but I've never lost a mission yet due to not...

    Five Nights at Freddy's Developer Pulls Newest Game From Steam

    My understanding is it ran the frame rate on a lot of GPU's was shocking even turned down to the minimum. This made fast paced section like using the bat mobile almost uncontrollable. It lloked like what they tested it on was fine but everything else was pretty poor which is some kind QA nexus...

    Five Nights at Freddy's Developer Pulls Newest Game From Steam

    Reminds me similarly to the Arkham Knight fiasco. Okay fair enough they didn't offer the game for free but they did offer unconditional refunds, pulled the game and tried hard to fix it. Everyone lost their nut over it. It always worked for me, admittedly it's better now but I know the...
