    No Right Answer: Best Video Game Format - Physical vs. Digital

    I'm all in favour of digital if... it follows the GoG model. That is, you get the game and get to burn it on disk or save it on USB. If it's like Steam, PSN, XBLA (or iTunes with songs) I'm very much against it. So much against it, that I refuse to buy games on those services. I've made this...

    steam hate, why?

    I hate Steam partially because it promotes a culture of indefinite lending rather than total ownership, along with software like iTunes, Playstation Network and XBLA, wherein you buy software, are forced to play it through a single platform and have absolutely no ability to sell it to others...

    Oculus Rift Buyout Leads To Torrent Of Anger On Kickstarter

    It shocks me how a company could go full 180° on its audience like that. Trading the reserved, tech-wiz loners for the casual selfie audience.

    Zero Punctuation: Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

    Race selection is back in Dragon Age Inquisition

    Qunari were supposed to have horns in DAO (it'd make sense considering Ogres), but it had to be cut since it'd mean BioWare would have to make a new model for every helmet to accomodate the horns. The Witcher series also offers only an illusion of choice since CDPR decides a canon to go by...

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    This'll be my first post ever here. I can understand some of the gripes Yahtzee had. The overdone and post-apocalyptic "zombie" setting? Sure. The generally useless and invincible companion AI? Alright. The uselessness of certain game-mechanics like Smoke Bombs? Yeah, they are very...
