    Poll: GOG , Picking up region priceing - Droping values.

    tl;dr on the official post: Classic game availability will only keep tightening and they want to keep expanding and popularizing DRM-free. Publishers have agreements with retailers to not undercut them digitally around release and GOG needs to abide or can't do business. They'll try to...

    Shadowrun Returns?

    I'd wait for the expansion and get the whole thing on sale.

    What did you think of the VGX?

    Complete farce, whoever produced is probably out of a job. The script was particularly bad, even for this type of show, and nothing seemed to be rehearsed, which made the guests even more nervous and guarded. The only highlights were Tim Schafer, Reggie, the No Man's Sky dev and Techland with...

    EA CEO Wants Its Games to Fail For the "Right Reasons"

    Riccitiello had the same awareness of the company's problems. It didn't amount to much.

    Physical vs. Digital

    Very few contemporary titles have physical editions worth owning. Most normal editions are just a cheap plastic case, while collector's editions charge hundreds on top for shoddy toys/statues and DLC pamphlets. There are even a lot of titles for which the first pro of physical editions doesn't...

    A question for PC Gamers. Why all the hostility towards console gamers/gaming?

    If not for PC "elitists", shit like this turns into common knowledge: It's entirely in the interest of the console manufacturers, even Microsoft, to spread the perception that PC gaming is dead, everybody games on consoles, a console has better graphics than a $2000 PC, consoles have the...

    Draw Harley Quinn Naked, Killing Herself, To Win DC Artist Contest

    Breaking news: When people go to art school is highly likely they'll be forced to draw nude female models. Call the authorities.

    Licensed games that were good

    Volition's Punisher game from 2005. Solid TPS with some fun side mechanics that perfectly replicate the atmosphere of the comic and the 2004 movie.

    Assassin's Creed Creator Says Nobody Cares About Discs Anymore

    The quote strikes me more as a remorseful stance than an Adam Orth situation. "I get it, but that's the future and there's nothing you can do about it". And I have to agree with that. Not only does digital save so much in costs for the publisher and developer (which is the biggest factor at...

    Things you'd like to see in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

    More chatting with companions around the cozy campfire, visiting exotic locations and meddling with unexpected results. Less tedious mage vs templar drama, endless family tragedy and "romantic" shit. It would also be nice if combat looks more like DA:O. Not adamant on making each 2H swing...

    Electronic Arts Kills the Online Pass

    They must've laughed their ass of at all this free good press for nothing. And they had to go the extra mile pretending they've "listened to feedback". Or maybe there was a point where they were actually considering having online passes on top of Xbox's pre-owned fee. I wouldn't be surprised.

    World of Warcraft Loses 1.3 Million Subscribers in 3 Months

    They can have my sub if they provide legacy servers for previous expansions and vanilla. Until DayZ Standalone/World of Darkness/Star Citizen anyway.

    Poll: Your least favorite online distribution system. And why?

    My only gripe with DD services is when they force exclusivity, latch themselves on to retail versions or even versions bought from other digital stores. GFWL, Origin and Uplay do that shit all the time and so does Steam. Like, is it so much to ask to just respect the customer's choice of a...

    EA Now Owns Star Wars Games. Get the Torches.

    They've confirmed DICE and Visceral will be working on the new Star Wars titles. Which is good, as those are their top of the line studios. As far as I understand by BioWare they mean ongoing content production for SWTOR. Now if they give DICE and Visceral creative freedom, a good budget and...

    Poll: About Secrets.

    3) absolutely. 2) is boring and 4) drove me mad in Darksiders.
