The Witcher. It's supposed to be -the- game for people who like deep stories with choices, but... the gameplay was boring at best and frustrating at worst, the world and characters felt completely desaturated and lifeless, and the main character was utterly repelling as someone I'm supposed to...

Bob, I think I may love you. Thank you so much for saying this all out.

What kind of insane are we talking about here? Because at the risk of drawing the ire of half the thread, "toasters hamsters banjos whoops I just microwaved the goldfish!" seems more like someone that thinks they're funny by being "random" and "crazy" than someone who's actually by dictionary...

Well, my definition of fun is "something that entertains", so you seem to be splitting hairs over semantics in regards to that particular word. And don't get me wrong: I didn't just play for five minutes and give up. I'm not some kind of twitch gamer who can't sit through an hour's intro if...

I get this feeling. I didn't like The Witcher either, what with the clunky combat and the moral consequences that felt more like "GOTCHA" moments and the fact that as an asexual female playing as a womanizing jerk in a sexist world and being rewarded periodically with pictures of naked ladies...

(I can't be bothered digging back to find the quotes for all the questions, so I'll just answer all the ones I remember in a big jumble.) I throw my coin in with those who just aren't interested in sex. I do have a romantic drive, and I do enjoy physical intimacy - but only up until a...

While I trust Bioware and will probably end up getting it anyway... I'm still skeptical. I can just tell they're going to cast Gruffy McDeepvoice for the male PC and I'm not going to be able to play as one because no character I make will fit such a voice and it will annoy me to hell. That...

Oh Monster Rancher<3 I always felt that game never gets the love it deserves. I've seen some of the hardcore training guides... the amount of resetting involved sort of scares me to the point where I'm happy to just sit grinning and rejoicing at having gotten one monster strong enough beat A...

Why would one be searching the URL if one already knows it? Zynga's games basically spread via the principle of "I see my friends posting status updates/my friends send me gifts/invites for this game, so I shall check it out". If I didn't know what Kongregate or Newgrounds were, I wouldn't know...

This, this, this. I had to watch it for a media class, it felt like I'd been there for six hours just watching the intro section with the chimp panorama.

Ugh, Wii Fit is definitely an impudent little shit sometimes. "I'm here to improve your posture and a variety of other passive-aggressive body-positive crap! But if you want the colourful little stamps for your calendar, you're going to have to weigh yourself obsessively every day!" "You...

I think I'm in the "mostly heroic, still likes a bit of a challenge" camp here. I want the final boss to be the climax, so I want them to be hard. On the other hand, I can appreciate the last "strike" being easy if it's a multi-stage boss battle. Overall I want the last battle to be an...

I'm fully expecting flaming & such for this, but someone's got to say it: You've fallen into the common trap of "all my readers are male and heterosexual" with your two tits articles.

I used to hate Anomen from BG2. On the surface arrogant and vain, but nursing various fears beneath his thin veneer of pretentiousness. Then I realised that was pretty much a male version of me. Come back, Anomen, I'll take you in my party now!

Sometimes my brother watches me play, and then I can't take anything seriously. For instance, had I finished Mass Effect on my own, I would have quietly absorbed the epic ending. With my brother in the room, it changes to "Why are you driving a warthog?", "Don't cry squid man!" and so forth.
