    What historical event would you like to relive?

    Shoot Jesus. I'd like to see what the Western world would of looked like under the Germanic Gods. Woden and the Aesir were being spread around as the Germanic tribes took over previously Roman Europe during the migration period.

    Holy shit, that was actually good

    Have you ever seen the Original Planet of The Apes? Lots of social commentary and people in bad make up but a damn classic film. I would have to say Game of Thrones blew me away. I kinda lost my love of new fantasy after R.A.SALVATORE grew stale on me, but damn did I want human intrigue with...

    Poll: Fallout 3 vs Vegas/ Fallout 4

    So us retro lovers could brag about the plot to Fallout 1 or the difficulty in Fallout 2, but most gamers are introduced to the Wastelands at 3 so lets start here. What was a better game or story? The great but linear Fallout 3 plot or the multiple-choice ending of Fallout Vegas. Vegas of course...

    How often do you play old games?

    Well any game beyond 6+ years is considered old, but I did go back last year and beat FFVIII on my old PS1 so it's a crap shoot on age really. I can't stand FF X-2 and beyond so good luck with that. FF X at least has Rammstein in the last boss fight.

    How often do you play old games?

    So due to budget and lack of hours at work I have some time to play old games. I recently beat Silent Hill 2 (still creepy as all s**t) after over a decade... I currently just popped in Fallout New Vegas. Soon I may get Crusader Kings II, but only because Rome 2 mods crashed my game :/

    Chinese Cannibalism

    I'll spare you some of the web sites with offensive photos of fetus' literally being eaten in Southern China. I also do not know if they are totally real as of yet, but this has been confirmed.... All I have to say is WTF.. I am a firm believer in relativism, as cannibalism is acceptable for...

    Question about The Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

    yes! Both games hold up really well. Last fight in Medieval is not as epic as when I was 12 but still cool. It is a hard game towards the end with a very confusing last pirate ship level and Alice in Wonderland like level. Soul Reaver was a game I regret never beating back in ps1 era so I may...

    DELETED

    Not as good as Total War series. My problem with Civ is that all the countries have the same units, with exceptions to maybe two or more depending on the era. Faction Perks are not very useful in the long run,and it gets tedious unless on hard mode... NOw Rome 2 has so many problems compared to...

    Poll: Favorite Total War

    The time period in Rome one is just so unique. The clash of cultures and various units, religions,building designs. Medieval 2 was amazing but in Europe you had a lot of repeat units/ design while Muslim ones were all archers mostly. Byzantium flame throwers and Pagan Units in Lithuania were my...

    Poll: Last of Us : What would you have done? ( SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

    True, but if there is no one who can grasp the beauty that the gods have given, then what is the point of it being there?

    Poll: Last of Us : What would you have done? ( SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

    I had a harrdddd time thinking about what I would of done. I don't think I could have let Ellie die, but I may after 20 years of living in such a world, realizing she can save it all. Probably kill my self later, but world would be saved...

    Poll: Best Naughty Dog Game or series?

    Most of you may not remember Crash games, but damn were they addicting. Possibly bring it back...? Drake 2 is best in series in my opinion, but Last of Us is undeniably amazing. Jak is hit and miss...but its your opinion.

    What do you think of soldiers?

    I guess you are the type to believe the world would be have peace if all western powers just stopped having war... I am in the military and some of these post are the most ignorant pieces I have ever seen on the Escapist. Post by kids or people who get to live in comfort due to the blood of...
