I absolutely understand. I've had a phone just die over night, something that has never happened to a book I've owned. Perhaps I'm an odd one out however as I still own most of my old tech, whereas I simply didn't have room for all my old books and comics. I'm somewhat paranoid about such...

By the same token though if something were to happen to your physical copy then you have to buy a new one. Your digital purchase remains on the company's servers or backed up to another device in your home. Both formats have their advantages. I prefer reading a physical book but there is...

I used to be a massive collector of comics, and indeed books in general, but when I had to move several years ago I simply couldn't take even a fraction of my collection with me. It's not even as if I can buy them physically now as I'd end up as a hoarder. Book wise getting a Kindle Paperwhite...

Comic wise I'm going through the DCeased series again. It's a fantastic take on the zombie apocalypse in the DC Universe. I've watched reviews of the series from some comics YouTubers who describe it as 'woke', it's clear they've not actually read it. Book wise I've reading Enora Online, a...

Quite often they are not there for the actual cash but to gauge interest in the project, that way they can show that to outside investors who will put up the money to actually complete the project. $50,000 wouldn't even have been enough for Platinum Games to pay their employees for a month, let...

But you kind of do. When you do everything else pretty much spot on only to have the grade dragged down because of the time, then that is forcing you to speed run if you want to boost the rank. Even the RE2 Remake wasn't this harsh. I don't feel bad about the C, I feel cheated. That aside...

I've played all mainlines games (not 7 as I don't like first person games) and I know time played a part. I'm just not a fan of speed running in games, I really don't see the point in playing a game if you are going to just blaze through it, so to have the ranking so heavily weighted that way...

I have to disagree. Most articles are good. They just don't share the opinions that some people want to read. There's a lot of opinions in games journalism that I don't agree with but you know what, I still enjoy reading them. Some people just want to complain though. I follow PC Gamer...

I don't hate 1 and 3, they're just forgettable. 1 had awful collision detection/hitboxes and 3 feels like they took everything of 2 and made it a little bit worse. I've played the fan translated version of Bare Knuckle 3 and I'd still rather just play Streets of Rage 2. I've also played the...

How are you connecting? I'm using the official Xbox One wireless adaptor to connect an Xbox One S controller to my PC running Windows 8.1 and Origin games are seeing it fine. My advice if you are using a Windows 10 PC would be to grab the Xbox Accessories App from the store and see if your...

I'm excited but at the same time cautious. Streets of Rage II is one of my favourite games ever and yet I'm really not keen on the other two games. The Streets of Rage (fan) Remake is amazing technically but it just feels off to me, even with everything possible set to Sor2 mode.

Currently installed on my PC are Steam, GoG Galaxy, UPlay, Origin, and the Epic Launcher. Most of my games oddly enough are on Steam but that is simply because that tends to be where I can find the best price on a game when I want to buy it. GoG I use when I can because I like that the games...

Surely resisting the temptation of switching to easy would be just as rewarding as beating that enemy in the end? If people are willing to switch down to easy because they can't beat an enemy that easily, then perhaps they aren't enjoying the default difficulty as much as they claim. Could it...

I'm a sucker for badges, so wouldn't mind this one. https://v1.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/votemarvel

Well now I feel absolutely idiotic, I somehow got it into my head that they were decorative. Well I'll know better for next time. I just don't remember them ever being that weighted toward the time limit when it came to rank though. I didn't expect to get an S but would have thought better than...
