    SAG-AFTRA Voice Actors Now on Strike Against a Number of Game Companies

    I'm of two minds on this. On one hand, it's true that voice actors get screwed pretty hard - they're considered really replaceable which can kill immersion with franchises when beloved characters suddenly sound completely different. I play FF14 and they changed like 90% of the voice actors...

    Sony Pictures Chairman on Ghostbusters Reboot "Haters" : "It's The Greatest Thing That Ever Happened"

    Sure, you might get enough hate-butts in seats to watch your shitty movie. What about the next one though? You've basically Titanic'd the franchise: selling a lot of tickets to a ship bound to sink. Once you've killed Ghostbusters, nobody's gonna turn up for the next reboot or spinoff because...

    SJW Jim Sterling says Link has to be female and that violent video games promote rape culture.

    You know, I'm all for having this conversation. But the fact that you started it with a massive fucking bait instead of actual conversation irks me. Some people have a hard-on for hating Sterling, what else is new. I can't be arsed to watch the Zelda video because I think it's one of the...

    Resident Evil 7 Announced - Has First Person Viewpoint

    There is only one possible reaction to this news. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umDr0mPuyQc] Some people are excited because "oh hey it'll be a transition back to horror!" I don't understand this mentality given that the series was never purely a horror game to begin with. It was...

    Prey Returns, Developed by Arkane Austin

    But why? What's the point of rebooting a franchise that had a total of 1 game in it? At that point, couldn't you... just make a whole new franchise? What's the draw for people hoping for either a continuation of Tommy's story, or even the stuff we saw of Prey 2 before it got canceled? It...

    New God of War Starring Aged Kratos Shown Off at Sony's E3 Presser

    I like the way the story seems to be trending, but damn is it odd seeing a franchise other than Final Fantasy completely change its combat system. It might be needed though considering the stupid tie-in titles they pumped out probably made people weary of the original play style. Might go...

    Morrowind Remaster Not Going to Happen, Says Bethesda

    I'm confused as to why people like Bethesda anymore. Yeah, they put out massive adventure rpgs, but they're also ridden with bugs and basic gameplay issues. Apparently the ability to mod it six ways to Sunday is supposed to make up for getting a half-baked game each time, but I'd rather throw...

    Ubisoft to Punish Players Who Exploit Glitch in The Division's "Falcon Lost"

    From the video: "And then there's the fact that the people you're shooting are disaster survivors. They're ordinary people who have lived through a horrific event, and without due process, without acknowledging their fourth amendment rights, you just gun down any of them who appear to be...

    Ubisoft to Punish Players Who Exploit Glitch in The Division's "Falcon Lost"

    On the contrary, I understood the video perfectly. The video makes the following claims: 1) In a real-world setting, the player's actions have meaning. They comment on our society whether or not the developer intends it. 2) The game espouses totalitarianism. 3) The game lacks...

    Ubisoft to Punish Players Who Exploit Glitch in The Division's "Falcon Lost"

    I mean, Extra Credits also misrepresents the facts and even outright lies (portraying the Rioters and Cleaners as innocent victims rather than the bandit/inquisitor stand-ins that they really are is laughable)... but yes, they do have that opinion, dumb as it is. As far as the news story...

    John Oliver Torpedoes Hollywood Whitewashing on Last Week Tonight

    Oliver (and the article writer) act as though criticism of white people playing other races is something new. I seem to recall a lot of people bitching about white people playing other races in prior years (as an example, the Avatar: The Last Airbender movie was particularly hated for that even...

    Street Fighter V 25% off on Release Day

    I watched someone stream it last night. The gameplay looks decent, but some parts of the visual design are a bit off and there was no online play available whatsoever because the servers were completely dead. Also Cammy's outfit looks like it's riding into her crotch even more than normal...

    Valkyria Chronicles Spin-Off Will Expand Series by Ditching Its Best Parts

    Amen. A lot of what I'm hearing here is: "Remember, we need innovation and change in games! Just not in any franchises I like, because all I want out of those is the same stuff done ad nauseam!"

    Valkyria Chronicles Spin-Off Will Expand Series by Ditching Its Best Parts

    I like VC but at the same time it's a game with a buttload of flaws, and I'd be more than happy to play something different in the same setting. This looks like it fits the bill wonderfully.

    Poll: XCOM 2 is Nigh - Prepare Your RNG Holes

    Does anybody know exactly what the preorder bonus (the Resistance Warrior Pack) consists of exactly? I dislike preordering immensely and want to make sure I'm not missing out on much in terms of cosmetic options.
