All this talk of boycotts... eh. That's totally the wrong way of looking at it. You don't need to boycott anything, you just have to not buy something when you think it's shitty. Example: I didn't buy Sim City. I didn't boycott it, I just didn't buy it. I did my research, I read reviews, I...

1. Better combat. The current combat has a pretty good style, I mean it's weighty and it controls well, but it needs more depth. You've got a good number of different attacks that can be pulled off with just the basic buttons, but there's not really a fat lot of point to most of them. It needs...

I've heard no end of people trying to twist the definition to specifically not make something an RPG. Like someone will say "it's an alright game, but it's not really an RPG" to something that's very obviously an RPG; I saw a topic the other day that was like "Dark Souls isn't an RPG". Most of...

Quick search on Amazon UK shows the bundles are available right now whereas the console on its own is out of stock till the end of the month. It's possible Sony are withholding stock of the standalone versions for the time being. What the staff at GAME probably mean is that Sony won't let...

That's hard because I dodged all the spectacular failures of the year (was A:CM ever looking like a worthy buy? not to me). I could maybe argue Rome 2, as that was one I was kind of looking forward to. But something told me to hold off and see what the reviews were like. Glad I did, didn't buy...

That's if they manage to encompass that idea. I'm not convinced any formal definitions of free will have correctly personified what the term is supposed to mean intuitively. There's certainly no comfort to be found in non-determinism; surely choice is more about reasoning than it is about...

The way I think is thus: "free will" as a term only came about when we, humans, made it up. We invented the concept. As such, we get to define what it means. There's no inherent meaning; we choose it. So to choose a meaning which is obviously non-existent or false seems pointless to me. The...

Surely that immediately excludes any forms of cognition whatsoever. Part of our thought process is based on sensory inputs and our past experiences; these are external factors. Why define free will in a way that is automatically false?

The accusation with Hi-Rez is that they abandon all previous games as soon as they are working on another. So far as I can tell it started with Global Agenda; they stopped development on that as soon as they started work on Tribes. And then they stopped work on Tribes as soon as Smite became a...

One of my most played games of last year. I should probably give it another try; I wasn't too fond of the jungle changes they put in, but that might have been teething problems. It was bonkers at first, like both side lanes being 2v1 as standard, which was bloody boring for everyone involved...

Probably Tenchu 3. I thought that built nicely on the mechanics of the first two games and was the last properly decent game in the series. Great atmosphere as well. There's some seriously creepy enemies in the game, from those ghoul things in the cemetery to those clockwork robot things. And...

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Doom. Specifically the SNES version. It looked awful compared to the PC version, but for whatever reason the sound effects where incredible on the SNES, and that added a lot to the atmosphere of the game. The sound of the shotgun just echoed...

For someone who's been slightly away from internet culture for awhile, it's kind of nice to know that those sorts of people are rightfully being ridiculed these days, but why on earth would you drag the innocent Fedora into this? It's a perfectly fine fashion accessory on the right head, and...

I think difficulty is one of those things where people only make mention of it when it's adverse. In other words, you could have a game with the most perfectly set difficulty, and nobody would even make mention of it, neither good nor bad. You shift that difficulty slider only very slightly...

It's just a crutch streamers use when they're beaten by someone and they're supposed to keep up some kind of tough guy attitude. You beat someone, they're bad, they beat you, they're a try hard. I used to watch the Smitegame channel a lot on Twitch and there's a number of "official" streamers...
