    Pre-orders: What's the big deal?

    The biggest issue with pre-orders and the pre-order culture we have established is that we have told developers and publishers that we are willing to let them take parts of our games and hide them behind a pay wall. That's what all these 'pre-order exclusives' are. It's just content from the...

    A Challenge to Pro-#GamerGaters and Anti-#Gamergaters

    Challenge accepted! Hey guys and gals. My name is Jordan and I have been gaming since I was 5 years old. Like Sethran, I am an omni-gamer. I play all types of games and enjoy them all for what they are, even the weird stuff like Hatoful Boyfriend and Goat Simulator. I had an interesting life...

    Is creating a PC version after console exclusivity a practical solution to said exclusivity?

    That's so inaccurate that it makes me sick. You can build a dedicated gaming rig for about the same amount of money as a next-gen console. Stop spreading these lies about PC being more expensive that it actually is. No. No, no, no, no, no. Why the hell should someone drop $400 on a device...

    Dragon's Dogma - did it sort of fly over everyone's heads?

    A player should not be expected to go 10 sodding hours into a game before it gets good. If a game cannot hook me within the first 2 hours of gameplay, I write it off completely. I played both Dragon's Dogma and Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, and both were extremely painful to play. If you like...

    Games you wish weren't dead

    So you prefer to play on an inferior device that is obsolete before it even comes out? No wonder all your favorite games have died. The device you play them on is dead well before the games are.

    Guess you should get a PC, brah. Games never die on PC.

    Can Dark Souls (2) be considered a JRPG?

    That depends entirely on your definition of JRPG. If based on the mechanics, no. It is clearly a WRPG in that respect. In terms of where it was made, yes. As the developer, From Software, is based out of Japan, that would make it a JRPG. At the end of the day, does it really matter how you...

    Star Citizen Too Much Game for Consoles to "Handle"

    Of course it is. These next-gen consoles can barely handle games like Watch_Dogs, which looks like utter shit. How the fuck are they gonna be able to handle a game that asks for at LEAST 8GB of ram and a GTX 460(a video card that is probably much better than what these consoles have inside of them)?

    Was Morrowind really the best?

    It comes down to something very simple. Your first TES game is always the best. I started off with Oblivion and while I agree that many of the technical aspects of Skyrim are much, much better. I like the world and the character/personality of Oblivion. OB is fun, colorful and somewhat...

    The Great Debate. Why 60 over 30?

    First and foremost, the whole idea that 30 fps is 'more cinematic' is complete crap. Movies are filmed at 24 fps, but also have each frame blurred in areas to give the impression or illusion of more motion than is actually able to be filmed at 24 fps. Why 60 fps is 'better' is because it is a...

    "Pay 99 Cents To Make Mario Jump Higher," Hedge Fund Urges

    Is Nintendo even really relevant to most gamers at this point?

    The Witcher 3 Main Storyline to Take Roughly 50 Hours to Complete

    I wouldn't count on it. When try tried porting TW1 to Xbox 360, they sunk so much money into the project trying to get it 'right' that it nearly sank the entire company. The good thing is that it seems that you don't need to have played the previous two games to understand and enjoy what is...

    Why wasn't Kingdom of Amalur as praised as Skyrim or Dragon Age?

    Because while Skyrim and Dragon Age brought new things to RPGs or took old concepts and made them much, much better, KoA:R was just a rehash of all the cliches of the RPG genre.

    Would you support a cure for homosexuality and transexualism?

    My mother, several family friends and one of my best friends are all gay. At one point or another their homosexuality has been a great source of stress and anxiety for them. My mother in particular has said if she had a choice, she would rather have been born straight as that would have made...

    Would you support a cure for homosexuality and transexualism?

    No, they are not diseases, but many experts suspect that homosexuality might be caused by something known as epimarkers that mark the sexuality of the fetus as the same as the opposite sex parent. Also, it is suspected that trans-persons are created by the body and the mind going in two separate...
