    Poll: Which TV show to watch next?

    Ah, right. Sorry, I've actually already seen all seasons, I just forgot to mention it. It's a brilliant show, so thanks anyway. Generation Kill deserves a lot more love. I love me some David Simon, so I'm all over whatever he makes. It's also great to see some media not gloryfying what went...

    Poll: Which TV show to watch next?

    So, I just finished watching Rome(yes, I'm far behind, I know) and as Treme is wrapping up in a few days, so I'm looking to start watching a new show soon. I have a few candidates as shown in the pool and I'm leaning towards The Sopranos, but I wanted some outside input before making the final...

    Favorite Defunct/Dead Games Companies?

    Impressions Games: For their excellent isometric city builders, specifically Caesar 3, which I have lost many hours to. Tilted Mill seems to be having a rough time lately, so it doesn't seem like we'll get anything even remotely close soon, sadly. Adventure Soft: I really liked Simon the...

    Ever felt cheated?

    inb4 Mass Effect 3 ending. Anyway, Sleeping Dogs on Steam. I bought it a while ago, when it was on sale, but I can't for the life of me get it to work. I've tried a bunch of different solutions posted on the forums, tried reinstalling it, rebooting, running it like it was different operating...

    Killzone Developer Tweaks Shadow Fall Based on Player Feedback

    One more reason I love GG and the Killzone series. This, combined with the fact that future map packs will be free for all and thus not dividing the community, could easily make it a favourite game of mine, at least on the PS4(even if it's early to call that).

    Disturbing details in games

    From what I gathered, all the babies are not Astraea, but rather children that have been abandoned or aborted by other people and throw down there, to get rid of. Not that that's not terrible, because it most certainly is, but I don't think she birthed any of them. She "merely" came to the...

    Your favorite person in game development?

    Chris Avellone. He's one of the most interesting story/dialog/NPC writers in the games industry nowadays, with Planescape: Torment being my second favourite game of all time and on top of that, he's a very nice guy(met him in the summer at Obsidian). I've played most of the major games he's been...

    Truly good android games

    I have quite a few suggestions, that I've written in other, similar threads. Most of them aren't really Android-specific, but I hope that's not a problem. Anyway, without further ado: Eufloria: An RTS-lite so to speak. There's no real base management in the game and the strategic depth is...

    I never played or really heard of the killzone games, should i play them before shadowfall?

    Same here, I'm excited about seeing how the balance is in Shadow Fall, compared to KZ2 and 3. I know some people didn't like the change from 2 to 3, but persoally I never really minded the change, so more of the same would be fine by me. As for OT, I don't think it's necessary to play 1(I...

    So, I'm going to start Dragon Age 2 for the first time...

    Indeed, I just think the element of having to react to new waves makes for more interesting and challenging gameplay, since it requires you to be alert at all times. My playthroughs of Origins usually end up with it being pretty easy(on nightmare) and doesn't really require that much effort...

    So, I'm going to start Dragon Age 2 for the first time...

    I'll admit, I was mostly thinking of terms of terms of elite enemies. I'll give you that most a lot of the enemy composition in a fight were of the cannon fodder variety(unfortunately), but the elite enemies are really what makes the fights interesting. I don't really recall a lot of enemies in...

    So, I'm going to start Dragon Age 2 for the first time...

    Only if you have the Black Emporium DLC. There's a potion that resets all attribute points and skill points. In the vanilla game though, there's no option to do that. If you have it on Steam(or Origin, I suspect as well), you'll have it, since from what I remember it comes with every new copy of...

    I need help installing the restored content mod for KOTOR 2 on steam

    I used the RPS guide, the last time I played it. The guide is right here: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/01/03/the-fixer-how-to-restore-knights-of-the-old-republic-ii/ It also includes the widescreen mod. Hope it helps, worked like a charm for me. Quoting so you get notice.

    Songs You Can Listen To Over & Over Again?

    I like Midnight City as well, thugh I prefer the Eric Prydz remix(being a fan of that type of music as I am): Still a good trak, regardless of whether it's a remix or not. OT: As for myself, there are a couple. First is: Loved this track since I first heard about 1½ years ago, at a...

    Favourite Video Game Soundtrack (Intro, In-game or final credit)

    I agree, though I prefer the soundtrack of the 2nd one: and Good call on Sword & Sworcery as well. Beautiful game as well as a beautiful soundtrack. Other than that, these are some of my favourites: Journey: Age of Empires(1): HoMM4: Popolous: The Beginning...
