I think that maybe it's not a big deal in a game with talking dogs, demon princes, dragons, magical shouting, cat people, enchanted everything and armor made out of glass.

I really don't feel like the PC is a dying platform at all. It seems like there's a new game that I'd like coming out for PC every other week, especially with all the indie titles on steam. Plus all the MMO's, RTS and Hon/LoL/Dota. Yeah you get some rubbish stuff from console ports but...

To be honest the slow releases haven't done much in the past. XIII and XIV are two of the worst games in the entire series. I don't even know what they were thinking when they made XIII - a game that was entirely made of filler content with enemies so bloated with hit points that every single...

It sucks that it got overshadowed now that they've done two good sonic games in a row (colours and generations). It's just the worst possible time to release it with Skyrim, CoD7, BF3 and Saints Row 3 all coming out. But hopefully people have a better opinion of the developer now.

Yeah, the OP is right about the empty world thing. You do get a whole series of different quests to do and guilds to join, but you never really get a great deal of choice about things. It's a game that's essentially a sight-seeing tour with most of the choice placed into character builds...

It's familiar and you know what you're getting - an arcade style military shooter with reasonably good controls. It's easy to get into, pretty casual and a bit of mindless fun. Kind of like McDonalds, I guess.

Really, it's objectively bad. Having to open up this big, clunky menu every time I want to change weapons or spells is ridiculous. Why can't I set my weapons and abilities to 1-9 (or on console set a shoulder button to quick-switching). Why does the picture of an apple take up 2/3rds of the...

The menu system in Skyrim is just bad. It's a nice game but the menus are awful, there's no way around it. The inventory is poorly organised, the favorites list is clunky, right and left hands are swapped over on the mouse for some weird reason, the skill up tree is nothing short of awful...

:/ actually the bandits in the first cave are much easier than the rats for some reason. It was kind of an odd game like that. You could go anywhere but there were only a couple of ways to approach the first few hours without getting horribly murdered over and over.

Why not stop worrying about scores or ranks and actually, you know, read or watch a review? CoD 7 or BF3 getting a nine or a ten is completely meaningless to me. It's just an arbitrary number. The same goes for all the ridiculous review bombing. A lot of the time I just wish people would cut...

Yeah it's a bit of a tough game like that. You kind of have to do some exploring around the first town or run along the eastern coast to get some levels and gear. I remember dying to rats in Balmora as well. Skyrim is basically a better game all around. Not that Morrowind is bad, really. The...

I've played about 15 or 20 hours of it so far. It's obviously a Bethesda game, which is both good and bad. You kind of have freedom of choice but it's a very certain kind. You can choose from a really good variety of races, customise the hell out of your particular character and give them a...

Eve is kinda a strange game. If you're thinking of getting into it then be warned that it's going to take a couple of months (yes, real life months) to get enough skillpoints to do anything significant. There's also a 'lot' of stuff to learn about ships, fittings, isk and the horrible interface...

Lawyer, while you're right about Eve having very, very many players who are out just looking for ganks or assured wins, it's really not that incredibly hard for a newer player to do stuff. It realistically takes a new player 2-3 months to be similar to any other player in a frigate (t2...

It's a decent enough game - the world is pretty varied and interesting and I kinda like the art style of it. It's also pretty accessible and caters to a fairly broad audience, although if you want to do the highest level content then joining 10 or 25 man raids regulary is pretty much mandatory...
