    your game of the year so far

    Breath of the Wild with Horizon coming in a close second. Persona 5 may take the top spot when I get around to it as P4 is one of my favorite games of all time

    "Smart" movies you think are dumb

    I think what you just said was the point of the movie. The freaking name of the comet was Melancholia. That could possibly tip you off. It was I thought a brutally honest take on depression. Depression causes you to turn inward so much to the point of alienating your friends and family. Kirsten...

    Most Cringeworthy Moments in games

    Pretty much every line of dialog in Destiny. "I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain" "The stories have stopped now, people are afraid anyways" "You're interesting, but not entirely interesting". When you accept that the story isn't coming you can appreciate...

    What video games make you feel like you're on vacation? or Ever taken a break while taking a break?

    Ah stole it. But yeah, FFX. The tropical and neon setting along with the accents and relaxing music make it one of my favorite game worlds to soak in

    The Best Explanation for why FF 13 was a Terrible Game

    You nailed it. The general premise of the game was an intriguing one. What does one do when faced with a hopeless situation? If you faced doom no matter what would you continue forward toward your task or stop and accept your fate? This is where the linearity is needed as they face a ticking...

    Fun Unconventional Multiplayer

    Sorry I didn't specify. I am a PS3 and PC gamer. I picked up Asscreed III the other day and have yet to try the multiplayer but it looks great. Thats actually the inspiration for the thread. Of all my favorite multiplayer is local multiplayer. Nothing beats being on the same couch with someone...

    Fun Unconventional Multiplayer

    I don't consider myself much of an competitive multiplayer kinda guy. I get no enjoyment from killing people who I don't even know in an online match. However I do like the possibilities afforded by online multiplayer. Fat princess is a game I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of. So I was...

    Why wasn't Kingdom of Amalur as praised as Skyrim or Dragon Age?

    There is tons of dialog with almost every npc that gives you back lore on the world and it is all surprisingly above average and some actually made me laugh aloud which is unusual for a game. Now the people complaining about the story and the world are correct to an extent. This is a game that...

    Tv Shows or films that make you visibly uncomfortable

    The Sopranos. Dug it for a while. Then there was the episode where the psychiatrist gets raped. I decided that I didn't need to see something like that again. It had been bad a few other episodes including one I remember a really long scene of a stripper getting beaten.

    Does XIII-2 actually improve on XIII?

    I played through XIII and was incredibly disappointed. I thought it could never be as bad as they said it was. It was so bad. But there is much interesting about the themes involved that just kind of make me want to revist that universe. In XIII it was badly told and translated covered by a...

    "You Will Not Wish You Had Spent More Time Gaming"

    I think one thing to keep in mind is that this is on a MMO website. Those games in particular are specifically engineered to keep you playing as long as possible. They give the perfect outlet for people who do not want to engage with the outside world as they can play for hundreds of hours and...

    Rift Goes F2P The Right Way

    As far as I know they will provide cosmetic items and boosts to exp and currency and such in the store. They made it a clear point that the best items will be earned in game. Also if you don't buy the original Rift there will be restrictions to the amount of bags you can carry. I'm sure you can...

    Rift Goes F2P The Right Way

    I've brought up Rift a few times on these forums as it was my first MMO. I missed the initial WoW craze and once I decided I wanted to try an MMO my friends had all moved on. The idea of giant zone wide fights appealed to me and got me to check out Rift. After a while I had to give up my...
