    Horizon Zero Dawn and accusations of SJW pandering: What is true, and what isn't.

    The OP doesn't appear to be calling for a boycott or anything. Reads more like an elaborate way of telling us: story is shit because it's pandering by committee. The idea is still that everyone may produce whatever they want, but players can still call the result shit, or great, or anything...

    Games that Aged INCREDIBLY well

    But is it just us, or is it those games were always lacking a bit in that regard though? Because looking back, my memories of when I first played GTA on the PS2 was that I disliked the controls even then. What I liked about GTA 3 and vice city was the scope and the setting and the driving was...

    Games that Aged INCREDIBLY well

    Why not just mention the Witcher 3 or For Honor, if we're going to take that easy route? Gameplay and game controls haven't evolved since dual stick controllers became the norm. Any game that was good from the PS2 and onward should still be considered good now, if you can get over a game not...

    Poll: If there was an alternative to Steam, would you use it?

    If it's not DRM-free and it probably wouldn't be, there's be no point in having another Steam clone. Shit, because of the DRM it's now in my interest that Steam stays afloat and I don't wouldn't want to have to worry about the successes of whole bunch of such competing services. I might...

    Ever had a service take away a game?

    It's even worse. I don't buy physical copies, but some time ago someone gave me a new game DVD and the DVD basicly just contained a Steam installer, without actual game data. Effectively you'd be buying just the sticker with the game key printed on it, glued to the inside of the DVD case nowadays.

    Poll: An unlocked car is stolen, who is to blame?

    Not really. It's a proportional response to someone being willfully careless with his own stuff. On top of that, the owner already lost the car, as reality took care of that. If the thief ever gets caught, then someone can get sentenced for theft, but that's a separate case.

    Poll: An unlocked car is stolen, who is to blame?

    He should be laughed at whenever he tells someone what happened.

    Steam to abolish Greenlight in favor of a new developer approval system: Steam Direct

    I like the principle of Greenlight, where if customers want the product displayed, it becomes available. In practice it doesn't work out, but I wonder if Greenlight couldn't be fixed somehow, instead of just scrapping it entirely. I don't see how a less democratic gatekeeper is going to be a...

    Poll: An unlocked car is stolen, who is to blame?

    Now suppose a scenario where the driver wasn't the owner of the car, but only rented it, or borrowed it from someone: sometimes willful stupidity obviously warrants punishment. Thing is that going back to the original scenario, losing the car was the expected, negative consequence for the car...

    Poll: Do people even WANT sex in their video games?

    How do you even make good gameplay out of it? Could be because I'm being very uncreative atm, but I can't envision it as a puzzle or a shooter or an RTS for example. What I'm pretty sure of that given no choice but to include some, most game developers would then default to QTEs or mashing...

    Which Motherboard Do You Use?

    I usually just pick something cheap that happens to have all the slots, ports and features I'm looking for. I often end up with something from MSI. Mainboards haven't really mattered for ages anymore, unless you're desperately looking for functions that make overclocking a little easier. If...

    Poll: Do people even WANT sex in their video games?

    Would going through Quick Time Events make it any better?

    So which games are you exicted for 2017?

    Torment I guess, but I haven't even kept up with the current developments lately. I haven't been looking for stuff that's not even out yet for a very long time now. I'm only looking back at stuff that's been out long enough to get at least user reviews. I can wait, while playing something...

    Poll: Do people even WANT sex in their video games?

    I usually just want to solve puzzles or shoot at stuff, but if the game has to be about simulating a world or telling some romantic story, then I guess the babies in the setting have to come from somewhere. Imply that stuff then. No appeal in polygons woodenly representing the deed on the...
