    So, about Archeage...

    Just wanned to know know what Western gamers think of it, and whether the international servers are any good. I've played on the Russian servers for a bit a while back, and it seemed interesting enough: I liked how it remained oldschool in terms of combat and party dynamics yet had all these...

    Guillermo del Toro: Pacific Rim 2 "Very Different" From the First

    So, another Pacific Rim, Mr. Del Toro? I'm still hoping for a film version of At the Mountains of Madness. Well anyway, I guess I'm okay with a sequel to Pacific Rim. Hoping for better minor characters though, not just flat stereotypes shoved into the movie for inclusivity's sake and...

    The last videogame character you played as is trying to kill you

    So, Grayson Hunt from Bulletstorm is gonna try and murder me, and then entire United Empire faction from Endless Space is going to defend me? I dunno, any 4X faction under my rule turns into a bunch of pacifist pussies. Then again, Gray's too fat and slow and needs to hide behind a chest-high...

    In the event of nuclear war, what would you do?

    I live right in the center of Moscow, my house's just a short walk away from the Kremlin. I guess I'll either get vaporised or crawl around all blind and deaf and blistered and in horrible pain for a couple hours before finally dying. There's literally no chance of me surviving. Wow, this...

    Hilarious steam tags

    Tagged Outlast "Naked men with cleavers". I just couldn't resist. I'm sorry, Internet. I guess the idea is kinda nice, now people can look at the tags and get a bit more information about the game (along with a general feel of the game's community). The only thing that bothers me is that it's...

    Civilization IV Dev Forms Strategy Focused Indie Studio

    A real-time strategy game that's 25% fighting and 75% economy? Count me in, we certainly don't have enough of those! The only ones I remember are the Settlers and Stronhold series, and I haven't heard about any of those for a while. Then again, I only played the last Settlers game and the very...

    What books would make for a great game?

    I'm fairly sure there was a Night Watch game. Maybe even more than one, in fact - I recall hearing mentions of a piece of movie tie-in shovelware and an online game (maybe even an MMO), which may or may not also be a piece of movie tie-in shovelware. I may be wrong, though, as I'm not a big fan...

    Jimquisition: Why PC Gaming Gets Away With It

    Jim, what is it with you and shrimps? They seem to pop up a lot in your videos.

    PlayStation 4 Recruits Two Free-To-Play MMOs

    Now, that's one reason to get PS4. My PC could barely run Planetside 2, which was one of the reasons I stopped playing it. Being able to buy a device which is much cheaper than a high-end gaming PC that is able to run PS2 without problems is a good thing indeed. The only problem here is that...

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    The so-called "Jimquisition persona" is what got me into watching your videos in the first place. In fact, I think that it's part of what makes them stand out. Yeah, it's not likeable, but is it really important to have a "likable" talking head? Also, I bet you're doing it for comic effect...

    I didn't enjoy the first Bioshock, here is why and is there any chance I'll like Infinite?

    Well, the story this tme around is actually really good, and well-presented too. It all boils down to your understanding of "good shooter mechanics" then. Combat in Infinite is unoriginal. The weapons are your standard FPS set (crappy pistol, powerful pistol, SMG, rifle, sniper rifle), there is...

    Dragon Quest X Tanks On Wii U

    Let's be fair: it probably has something to do with the fact that with PS4 being already announced, PS3 is now officially obsolete. I bet Wii U outsells PS3 only becasue less people are buying the latter. Might be wrong though. I'm not saying that Wii U is a bad console, but it definetly isn't a...

    Gripes About Bioshock Infinite

    I second the absence of a normal save function. It's just stupid not to have that. I suppose I could blame it on the consoles as I always do in situations like this one, but there's a lot of console games that allow the player to save or load at any point. Also, the final encounter is boring...

    Has anyone else played Metro 2033?

    There are, in fact, at least TWO books, as well as a huge number of spin-off novels written by other authors. I only read the first one though. It may be worth it, it's pretty decent. However, as a Russian, I can tell you that it's full of pretty heavy-handed (sometimes almost cringeworthy)...

    Poll: Would You Buy the PS4 Diablo 3?

    While I'm not really interested in the PS4 (at least I'm not buying it at launch for obvious reasons), I have to admit that the console version of Diablo 3 is actually superior to the PC version. It has no bullshit DRM and no auction house, and these two things outweigh the fact that it uses an...
