    Watch_Dogs: Too Much Sandbox, Too Little Game

    I did not like that system in Saints Row. I felt like they cordoned off the story until we played with their shiny baubles. And while those shiny baubles were fun and all, I did not appreciate being forced to do them. Especially since they broke the flow of game for a friend and I. The last...

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

    I'll tell you my beef with it. The Elves. They are Marry Sues of the highest caliber, they are annoying, pretentious, and it doesn't seem to be a parody. Because when humans start regarding them so highly it's left the realm of them thinking too highly of themselves to being special little...

    CliffyB Thinks Used Games Are Bad, Sony is "Playing Us"

    I don't even know if this is a sentiment already shared in the thread but. Then lower them. Learn to budget and manage your resources. Bend to the market instead of trying to bend the market, that's how you successfully business.

    Privacy - Short counters to nothing to hide, nothing fear arguments.

    I fall in the category of nothing to hide nothing to fear people. I don't care if they know what I may or may not jerk to. Say about other people. What sort of views I hold. I just don't care. However I do think it is downright stupid to monitor people like this. It feels like an invasion...

    Hands-On: Ryse: Son of Rome Is Xbox One Combat Devolved

    Looks uninteresting. Up until they had the part where you can command a formation, that looked pretty interesting! Though it's probably less fun than it could be. And you probably hardly ever use it. Despite that was the reason Rome was so good as killing. Formations and tactics.

    The Glorious PC Gaming Master Race

    A good gaming computer about 6 years ago that is just under the power of a PS3. Was about as much as a PS3. Okay you're getting a little less power for the same price that's a bit of a concern. But I use my computer for hundreds of other things that aren't just games. And the games themselves...

    Poll: Would you buy glowing plants?

    YES. Actually I plan to cultivate some bioluminescent mushrooms when I get the funds for the hobby.

    Poll: Your preferred RPG "Archetype?"

    I enjoy playing most all classes. But I usually fall back on some kind of Fighter. And depending on my mood I play a Berserker type or a Tank/Support type(I have taken to calling the Warlord Archetype). And a close second as the Ritualistic magic user. I guess I prefer Magic being more of...

    People are being WAY too critical of The Elder Scrolls Online!

    I haven't been following the ESO updates much recently because I know it'll disappoint me with the setting. But people have said it looks like WoW, some equate it to Guild Wars. The problem is the WoW shaped niche in the market is already filled, by WoW. We don't need another game like it as...

    TotalBiscuit's very strange behavior in this Vlog video....

    Sounds fine to me. "That was very expensive and if you guys aren't all that interested in that kind of content I'm not going to make that kind of investment again." What makes it sound whiny to me is something he's brought up in the video. He tries to make fairly long videos, 15-20 minutes...

    Thief Will Feature a "Less Goth" Garrett - UPDATED

    Then it's not a Thief game. Thieves do not do action. They may be scallywags, no-goodniks, ne'er-do-wells, hooligan, scoundrels, and shysters. But they are not rowdy types. If the developers are insistent on keeping with this direction then it may be best to drop the Thief brand. Because...

    Poll: Is sexual orientation a recent invention?

    More or less. It's not as black and white as Modern Culture has it. Looking in History there was no culture grouping them. The Greek/Slavs Obviously. The Romans only saw that the catchers were weak. The Gauls/Celts saw it an insult to turn down their propositions. The Norse/Germanic only...

    The most creative universe

    I'm going to have to echo someone in Elder Scrolls. Morrowind had amazing mythology, religion, landscape, flora, fauna.. An alien culture and land and it was all just so darn creative.

    Poll: Um...Would this be creepy?

    Nope, it's weird as crap but why's being social creepy? That attitude kinda bothers me. Most of the time when I go to the store I walk out and when I greet people I pass I get weird results. Most young people give me a mumble as they look at their feet and hurry past. Older people are usually...

    Your Favorite "Badass Old Dudes"

    I'm going to raise mid-50's up to 'Old' even though as far as I see it that's just the ass-end of middle aged just so I can get some of these on. In Games? Bill. In Books? Sam Vimes. In Real Life? John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill. In Film? Clint Eastwood. Overall? Odin.
