For what it's worth, I think the right thing was done.

The original was more like a Disney / Dreamworks adventure, family friendly but still full of action. It also ended on a cliffhanger. So, 14 years later, to get a prequel that takes place before Jade is born, with totally different characters, seemingly much lower quality banter, and the promise...

QoL changes, HUD/GUI improvements... A few that come to mind: More visible pickups games (UT 2K4 shield/armor pickup icons as opposed to UT99 for example); data being more easily parsable even if by only half a second is actually really helpful in a fast-paced game. Better management...

Pretty hilarious satire right here. Loved that you listed the best game on the list as "boring" - also stylizing PREY as Prey 2 and implying it's even remotely related to the 2006 game, and also alluding to the original game's troubled development (which was, in fact, very similar to DNF) - very...

I bought this a long time ago. It's pretty alright. I'm glad it got a bit of a spike of players thanks to the 'official' launch. Pretty good quake-like. I like the small changes (stairs-jumping like in Warsow, stake gun for wall climbing like UT4 prealpha's stinger secondary) from Quake 3 but...

Generally speaking, anniversaries are seen as much more personal, and Valentine's Day seems to be enjoyed by people mainly because "it's a holiday in the middle of winter" with a social obligation attached to it. I think people should just focus on how it can benefit them (discount...

Easily the best interview I've read on this site in a long time. Great job.

Games Workshop does make factions DLC, but Relic will most likely not. I can see them being a bit imba when they first launch (CoH2's OKW, for example) but they probably won't charge for it. I'm excited about the mix of DoW1 and DoW2 - I genuinely liked both games. Bringing base-building...

Well. I'm in the beta and I'm getting a constant 60FPS with a mid-range i5 and a GTX760. My other PC is a Phenom IIx4 965BE with a Radeon 6850 HD (6+ year old card) and for testing purposes, I tried it on there. ~40-45 fps with the same settings, but with some tweaking of graphics options...

Honestly, your first play-through can be (and probably SHOULD be) single-player only. The game is really good, and the multiplayer is entirely optional.

Half Life and Halo really are nothing like Metroid Prime. Zelda is more like Metroid than those games. Honestly I'd say Dust: An Elysian Tale is more like Metroid Prime than those games (in actual gameplay, not 'theme'). Shadow Complex is kind of 3d, I'd count it as 3d, it's just a...

Sorry to nitpick, but Quake came out *after* Duke Nukem 3D. On topic: Yes. Often.

Short answer: Get a case that will actually fit a good power supply, buy a new power supply, put everything you have in the new case, and get a new video card. CPU is great, RAM is fine/good enough. You can probably sell the video card for around $50. That give you $250 to get, like, a $40...

Far Cry Primal? :x Space Hulk: Deathwing? Battleborn? (Just kidding) No, but seriously, it's probably Superhot, and I wouldn't even really qualify it as an FPS, more of a puzzle game with a first person point of view. Sure, there's guns, but...yeah. Also: Does UT4's pre-alpha possibly...
