    Best game you've played lately?

    If the combat wasn't boring as shit I BSI would take the cake and this is coming from someone who absolutely hates the other two games. I'm going to have to go with the latest Tomb Raider.

    Poll: I HATE SMALL, WHITE TEXT! (also Arcania: Gothic 4 Demo review)

    That would take effort. Doing this properly would require console manufacturers to provide the subsystems for doing this. Developers simply don't care enough to take the time to do things like that.

    The game industry doesn't need to change its practices...

    Of course they do but most people don't go to sites like this and the gaming press is entirely suspect. I would argue that a superior level of discussion among the people who visit sites like this would do some good. I find it sad that I have yet to see anyone point out how Ninja Gaiden 3...

    Had to be awesome. I'll have to search for that one.

    Sexism in gaming, do we really give a f**k?

    No I'm pointing out to you that your assertion that artists only care about good character design if it has a dick is demonstrably false. There is plenty of shit design all around, it might actually be worse for males since they end up being the main character an overwhelming majority of the...

    Sexism in gaming, do we really give a f**k?

    No, because you are demonstrably wrong even by your own implicit criteria of thematic consistency. Faith from Mirror's Edge is an excellent character design she wears clothing that grants her a great deal of movement and all it is, is just regular street clothes you might see someone go jogging...

    Sexism in gaming, do we really give a f**k?

    Your point being what exactly? Is it the costumes that are the problem or the fact that the women are there for the men and the men are there for the men as well? I would think that the fact that these women in videogames are not people tend to mean that the problem isn't that the Frankensteins...

    Recommend Me a Bad Anime

    I dunno if Highschool of The Dead really counts as bad. Everything seems to be intentionally invoking classic zombie films. Besides Inazuma is the artist WTF were people expecting? It all starts making sense when your realize that the guy doing the art is a hentai artist. The character...

    What Aspect of Gaming Would You Like to See Improved?

    The level of criticism of games from gamers. Especially since the big time reviewers really are no better.

    The final proof...

    http://kotaku.com/heres-an-interesting-post-from-the-hokutoandy-from-th-478227930 Scroll past the article and start reading the comment from RPG fan. I find the art to be quite ugly really. But the Kotaku guy trying to connect lolicon to this should probably just disconnect his internet and...

    what did you think of metal gear rising: revengeance?

    You aren't supposed to do anything with it...... He auto climbs. Or vaults over obstacles. I mostly used it for the slide attack you could do if you hammered Y/Triangle and the stuff I mentioned before. Now if they fixed his shitty dodge....

    what did you think of metal gear rising: revengeance?

    Were you actually trying to use Ninja Run in fights? The only thing it is really good for is blocking bullets while closing distance and climbing over things. It isn't intended to be precise. DMC isn't my favorite but man did I need something to wash that bad taste out of my mouth I had the...

    What are your thoughts on Jade Empire?

    I've had this game on Steam for years now. God I need to actually try playing it seriously.

    So what ISN'T allowed in video games now?

    Well shit, I think you are right. I can't think of the last time I have ever seen that.

    Game issues you're sick of hearing about

    No I'm not confusing anything graphics posses aesthetic qualities they are not separate from them. There is no meaningful distinction possible here unless you pervert the meaning of graphic. Minecraft and the games that Valve puts out all have the necessary graphics to accomplish what they...
