    Ryse: Son of Rome is Coming to PC, and Leaving its Microtransactions at Home

    I'm not sure I understand, if they are voice commands why would you need a Kinnect? There have been voice command games on PC before...

    EA Pixelates Pirated Copies of The Sims 4

    Frankly I'm surprised at the good reception of this. I mean, this won't affect pirates one bit, everyone knows that. And I don't see anywhere how the game determines whether it's pirated or not so it might backfire and affect legitimate users like every attempt to tackle piracy they made so far.

    Teenage Male Gamers No Longer Biggest Demographic

    This needs context and explanations. How was this data gathered? What kind of sample? Which platforms? I can buy that this is data from video game store sales or something, but as actual player data this list is ridiculous. Anyone who actively plays MMOs knows how ridiculous 42% is. Since...

    Game of Thrones' Arya Stark "So Sick" of Book Readers Being Snobby

    Yeah but her reveal isn't connected to Arya or the Eyrie, it's connected to Jaimie whose timeline was moved around a lot in the show. He arrived to King's Landing much sooner than he should have and is still there in the show. You have a point about the crown though.

    Game of Thrones' Arya Stark "So Sick" of Book Readers Being Snobby

    But that that reveal is not even close to the current show timeline. They're still probably going to cut the character, it just couldn't have been in season 4 anyway. Without major rewriting at least. Edit: Though, when I think about it a much better reveal would be later, perhaps in...

    Game of Thrones' Arya Stark "So Sick" of Book Readers Being Snobby

    I'm not sure what they're talking about, which major scene was missing in season 4? Anyway, she'd have a point if every almost attempt of showrunners to depart from the original material wasn't complete and utter shit;/ I still get a facepalm reflex every time I think of "Dirk the miniboss".

    HBO Reveals Game of Thrones Season Five Directors

    I hate that they use so many directors, it was very noticeable in the last season. Not just change in style but a few episodes had some really poorly directed and acted scenes.

    The Wolf Among Us - Season Finale discussion! (Spoilers, of course)

    No! This is the perfect ending, a twist in very end and mystery left. Why does everything have to be spelled out at game endings... the "proper" entertainment mediums don't suffer from this. If there is a season two I hope it's on the farm and it has no connecting points with the end of...

    Zero Punctuation: Enemy Front & Valiant Hearts: The Great War

    The number of people, even here, that confuse gun control laws with banning guns is scary to me.

    Assassin's Creed 3 has one of the most beautiful sandboxes in games.

    The Great Debate. Why 60 over 30?

    Because it's not a visual thing. While there is a definite difference between 30 and 60 fps visually, 30 is smooth enough with motion blur to not be annoying. But the input delay skyrockets with lower FPS in games. 30+ms delay makes games feel awkward, sluggish and unresponsive, like your...

    Games that are harder than Dark Souls

    A lot of games on hardest settings are harder than DS. Volgarr the Viking for example is harder by default thogh.

    Battlefield 4 Gets New Microtransactions

    Attachments for the guns. Like scopes, stocks, flashes/suppresors etc. Most guns are at a severe disadvantage without them and a good number of them are attainable only through these boxes. And to unlock them all even for a single gun takes a fuckton of time. The slippery slope behind this doors...

    Battlefield 4 Gets New Microtransactions

    Have you played Battlefield 4? Do you know what these boxes are? Do you see what kind of door this practice opens?

    Battlefield 4 Gets New Microtransactions

    Was I the only one who was a bit surprised when I realized that battlepacks weren't purchasable for $ at release? Come on EA, step it up. You're not being nearly as bad as we expect you to be.
