I've been boycotting Amazon since I worked at a local FC back in 2012. I got zip.

I always figured this was the case anyway. I'm sure in universe, Nate doesn't consistently get riddled with bullets and repeatedly fall from leg-snapping heights, only to respawn. I figured the 'canon' version of events is Nate only ever getting hit/shot/stabbed in cutscenes. It's just a...

I'd love to see Obsidian tackle an Imperial Agent, espionage RPG along the lines of the Agent story from The Old Republic. Getting behind enemy lines, sabotage, tiptoeing around Sith Lords and Jedi investigations. It could be phenomenal. Thinking on Sith/Jedi gameplay, I've always struggled...

I'm a shameless Cata-baby (rolling around TBC on a friend's account doesn't count), so World of Warcraft is still great for me. I won't miss Artifact weapons and I'm excited that the team are taking a more narrative approach to questing and progression with every expansion. Battle looks to be...

But they fundamentally are an indie studio. They're larger than your average bedroom developer, but they're still on the smaller side for a development team. The Witcher 3's budget was some ?55 million. GTAV clocked in at ?190m. Bear in mind both games are considered AAA, despite having vast...

In my opinion, not really. But in a lot of people's, of course. My main take away from The Witcher 3 is apparent when compared to the likes of AAA titles like Assassin's Creed Origins. CD Projekt Red employs around five to six hundred staff and is, by and large, an independent developer...

I think what separated my experience from a lot of other offense focused action games is that in DS2 I knew that a mistake could cost me my life, not just a tiny chunk of health bar. In The Pursuer boss fight for example, my spellsword build had limited stamina to use for dodging and attacking...

I can get where the criticism is leveled at HBomberguy, as well as his oft criticised "In Defense of Dark Souls 2" video. But honestly, until I watched those videos I absolutely abhorred Souls games. I remember playing Dark Souls on PS3 and the reinforcement that the shield is the way...

I've just dived head first into Dark Souls with the SotFS edition of DS2. I fucking loved it to be frank. Having not played Demon's Souls in a few years, I didn't really know what to expect. I'd heard a lot of hate from the community, but events transpired in such a way as a friend had a copy to...

Yeah, I mean those are pretty much my feelings about the meta. It's never been of interest to me because none of my favorites are in the right tier for play. But I can't see how making the online scene more accessible could be a bad thing. They've danced around IV and EV checking for ages, but...

In some respects, I wish Game Freak would realise and cater for this. On the face of it, Pok?mon is a cute and colourful collect-athon that you can breeze through with type matchups and strong moves. But look under the bonnet and IV breeding, EV training, battle tactics and held item combos make...

Eh, I can't say I'm upset. My biggest problem was that out of all the individual series leading up to Defenders, I only liked Jessica Jones. I couldn't watch Daredevil or Luke Cage or Iron Fist, just boredom abounds. So going in I had zero attachment to any of the characters and I never felt...

I go through phases with Pok?mon. I even enjoyed playing online a few times with friends, but as with everything a serious scene develops and it became a 'join them or die' scenario, I chose to bow out. I'll get a new release, play the fuck out of it and then retire it when I eventually can't...

It's weird, because I can remember going into Toys R Us a hell of a lot as a kid, but we never seemed to buy anything. The business in the UK has been suffering for a while now and they announced a few weeks ago they were in administration, I didn't know it was their US branches too. Sucks for...

If I'm understanding you right, I totally get it and I really bothers me too. I've always used Firefox, through the good, the bad and the ugly. That little orange and blue logo just gives me comfort and I've never really looked back. Though I've found a sneaky browser on my PC every now and...
