    Advertising Standards Rules Hello Games Did Not Mislead Consumers with No Man's Sky

    It doesn't really matter what the ruling was. Hello Games has already squandered the good faith of their player base. If they make another game, nobody will buy it.

    Skyrim: general questions and discussion.

    Nah, man. You get offered Lycanthropy at the beginning of the Companions quest chain, so pick it up and then just let it rot in your powers tab. Rested bonus is worthless and you don't have to be in wolf form to benefit from the disease immunity. Throw away all those pain-in-the-ass bottles of...

    Angry Joe presents how not to deal with customer service workers on Amazon...

    This. Angry Joe is a loud douche with an undeserved ego, and not in a particularly entertaining manner. It doesn't shock me at all that he'd act this way with someone from customer service.

    "I'm not gonna make a Toy Movie" said Michael Bay.

    Ha ha! Somebody never read the G1 comics or watched the cartoon, I see! Google "A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court." Starscream travels back in time, Ramjet punches a horse, and Warpath fights a dragon. It's crazy.

    'Why Does Link have to be Female?'

    Meeting a previous incarnation doesn't shoot down anything. In fact, it could be argued to reinforce the theory; how else is one Link going to learn moves from a previous Link? As for Wind Waker, I don't believe direct descendancy has ever been a prerequisite for reincarnation. A common trope...

    'Why Does Link have to be Female?'

    Isn't the reason Link is always a boy is because he's the reincarnation of the goddess Hylia's Chosen Hero?

    Skyrim HD Remake Announced, Free For PC

    Oh boy! A free copy of a game that I've already modded to look far better than the remaster! The only way this could get better is if Bethesda forced me to pay to get access to a fraction of the mods I was using before!

    Do you think Overwatch's story will actually matter?

    You aren't collecting data. If you're playing as, say, Mercy, then you as Mercy are training in the simulation against a combination of other agents and AI programs meant to represent agents. That's how you train for things: by testing your skills in a variety of situations. Haven't you ever...

    Do you think Overwatch's story will actually matter?

    I was under the impression that the whole thing was sort of a VR training simulation to prepare for the resurgence of the Overwatch program. That's how you can have "good guys" and "bad guys" on the same team, as well as multiple instances of the same character. Is that not the case?

    Next Up In Battleborn vs Overwatch: Battleborn Drops Its Price To Compete.

    Anyone else kind of glad Battleborn is failing? I mean... the original Borderlands was -and is- one of my GOAT games. But since then, Gearbox has been shitting out downright awful and/or completely broken games. I kinda feel like if they take this kick in the nuts, maybe they'll learn...

    Blizzard Doesn't Like Overwatch Porn

    Seems like a silly thing to do, honestly. I know a ton of people who bought Overwatch BECAUSE of the porn. It's like free advertising, and as we all know lonely nerds spend more money on vidya than anyone else.

    Borderlands 3 Confirmed at PAX East

    Borderlands was (and is) one of my GOAT games. 2, despite the many improvements to various mechanical aspects, was just incredibly lackluster and if it hadn't been for Gaige being just an absolute delight then I don't think I would have been able to push through all the way to the end. As for...

    Dark Souls 3 story discussion (spoilers obviously)

    That actually was my understanding of it as well. Except this: I believe Vaati talks about it. The Curse of Undeath only affects humans because of the First Sin; the Furtive Pygmy spread humanity to mankind, and then Gwyn linked mankind to the First Flame by committing the Sin. So while...

    Dark Souls 3 story discussion (spoilers obviously)

    Naw, man. That's why everything is so screwed up by the time DaS3 rolls around. The Flame needed stronger and stronger souls to keep burning, but there just wasn't anyone left so they had to bust out the Lords of Cinder. Humanity WILL go on, that's why thy also call the Age of Dark the Age...

    Dark Souls 3 story discussion (spoilers obviously)

    You cannot break the cycle, because the cycle is the natural state. The Age of Fire will always rise from the previous Age of Dark, and then slowly wither and die to bring in the next Age of Dark. What has been happening all this time is people artificially extending the Age of Fire by throwing...
