    Switch Online Service.

    So, just so I'm clear, does this mean I'm not allowed to address any of the points Yoshi178 has brought up or accusations he's pointed at me? Because I have no intention on 'bickering' and no intention on resorting to similar petty insults, but would like to address his post, the contents...

    Switch Online Service.

    For fuck's sake, dude. When have I ever said that? At what point, in my entire history of being on this forum, have I said it's 'okay' for Sony or Microsoft or anyone to charge to play online? Where? No, seriously, where? Point me to the post(s) that say, quote, "It's okay for...

    Switch Online Service.

    Hmm. Uh huh. Yeah? Oh, I see. Hmmm... So, a quick run down: * I don't get to keep any of the 'free' games they're 'giving' me. * The plan doesn't seem to include any real, meaningful community features. * The Virtual Console is dead. * I'll still have to rely on those fucking Friend...

    And this is why FMV is superior to CG.

    I miss FMV's combined with a mixture of cheap CGI and pre-rendered ingame assets. Or, more to the point, I miss the point-and-click adventure games akin to Myst and Zork. A lot of modern takes on the genre feel devoid of that certain charm. They just don't feel right having high-budget...

    And this is why Animation is superior to Live Action. (New Images of Live Action Teen Titans show)

    Egh, Teen Titans was shit anyway. In all of its forms. So no real loss. :/

    Nothing is Overated

    Agree on all points but this one. I believe there is an objective metric by which we can measure a piece of media's quality. That being said, a piece's quality is intrinsically mutually exclusive to any given individual's enjoyment of that piece. Or, to put it another way, some people love...

    On Valve and HL3 - A Different Perspective

    Congratulations. You've reached the point I reached years ago. Welcome to adulthoodNot that I'm implying you're a child, just to be clear., where you don't stomp your feet, whine, and demand a developer bend to your desires and your desires alone. Shame most others have yet to reach that...

    One year of Nintendo Switch

    It's alright. Not really that impressive, even as portability goes. (my phablet phone has some pretty impressive hardware as well, does a lot more than most phones, has a screen just as large, doubles as a 'desktop' PC when docked, and ACTUALLY fits in my pocket) But still a neat little...

    Things and Changes you want in the next Smash Bros for the Switch?

    My request(s) are both simple but, ultimately, probably impossible to implement.If only because Nintendo and Sakurai love to be assholes. New cast of characters, new costumes, new items, blah-blah-whatever, I don't care. All I want is for the new game to have the feature sets of the latest...

    PC gaming vs console gaming: What are the advantages of each?

    Pretty much this. Let's be honest with ourselves, people. PC, as a gaming platform, is just objectively better than consoles in virtually every single way. You have more options. More control. More variety. More games. Easier access to communities, options, and services. Zero cost to...

    Would PC gaming be better today if XBOX never happened?

    Uh...I wasn't aware that PC gaming was bad off to begin with. In fact, and forgive if I've missed some blatantly obvious catastrophe of some kind, but I've been operating under the impression that PC gaming is in a new golden era. We're in a state that's objectively better than it's ever been...

    Poll: Zoomed Hipfire vs ADS: Which do you prefer?

    How so? The way you'd aim in Quake is identical to how you aim in, say, Left 4 Dead or Halo or Unreal. I really don't get this comment. "Breaking the rules"? What rules? What are you talking about? You can't just admit you were wrong on this point?

    Poll: Zoomed Hipfire vs ADS: Which do you prefer?

    Doom didn't have auto-aim. The 'shooting up ledges' was an affect of the way the game drew 3D. It wasn't actually a 3D engine. It was modeled in 2D. So there was no looking up and down because there was literally no up or down. See here: And most old shooters actually didn't have...

    Poll: Zoomed Hipfire vs ADS: Which do you prefer?

    Um...as the vast majority of FPS games, since the genre's inception, have used hip-fire-style aiming mechanics, how can you say it's usually 'terrible'? Quake, for example, has a plethora of pin-point accurate weaponry and it doesn't use an ADS system at all. Not all but some do. Gears of...
