    The Most Overrated Games that Aren't

    Mass Effect 3. The multiplayer is still meaty after all this time, and if you can block out the reflex rage at the original ending it's one hell of a ride through a great setting. Bonus points for mentioning MGS 4. Mechanically it was the series at it's peak, but christ so many of the plot...

    Tekken 7 Character Excluded From U.S. Release After Negative Feedback

    I don't know, nor do I have any inclination to find out what NeoGAF is, but it could be because he's taking NeoGAF's community as representative of Tekken's Western audience. The presumed furor about Chloe there was mirrored at the Tekken GameFAQS threads, the GFaqs DoA threads, 4chan, and at...

    Tekken 7 Character Excluded From U.S. Release After Negative Feedback

    Ok, so someone mentioned "videogames as art product" and "vote with your wallet." Indeed. 1) Problem is Harada's not some solo act and this is kind of what makes Hideo Kojima step on his dick with the Metal Gear series. Harada's the executive director (presumably) but he's one of a couple...

    Tekken 7 Character Excluded From U.S. Release After Negative Feedback

    Remarkably enough, as someone else suggested, if she was an actual supernatural person -an actual "catgirl," that would incredibly less stupid. I mean, for all the flack she tends to get for being basically naked Felicia from Darkstalkers is rarely bashed for not being a _combatant_. Cats are...

    From Bayonetta to Team Ninja, inspired by the last Jimquisition.

    I agree with Jim about pondering Team Ninja; more specifically the DoA setting. I'd really like some insight into why in context most of the female cast comes dressed down. In some cases their could be passable logic-Tina's a pro-wrestler/model/whatever and that means showing off her physical...

    Escapist Podcast - Movies and TV: 001: How Spider-Man 2 Sucks

    One more thing on Nerds and Tech. Ok, revenge is a possible motivation but consider this: isn't that what everyone does when they "win"? Seriously. Look at capital venture firms. Or any powerful corporation. Or politician. "I'm using my power to wreck this other guy's shit" is basic American...

    Escapist Podcast - Movies and TV: 001: How Spider-Man 2 Sucks

    Anyway. Not a bad start, but less opinion and more information. Calling The Hero of A Thousand Faces generic to some proto-society is impressively ballsy without some actual source for that bald a claim. Also whatsername is out of her depth, at least by 38 mins in. Enough with "lol you must...

    Escapist Podcast - Movies and TV: 001: How Spider-Man 2 Sucks

    Yes, I'm removing my FB posts because too much MAD not enough civility. Trying again. Game of Thrones and Rape: Let's try some contextual complexity. Either, A) it wasn't a rape, it was a rough fuck and Cersei, bitchy, vicious, ruthless Cersei took it and liked it or B) Jamie is a flawed...

    Poll: Hitman Absolution hates women

    Christ, if only half the stuff cited is real the answer is still YES and IO has some terrifying hangups about sex and death. I feel dirty just having read that summary. I bought a copy used a week ago, and I was getting around to it...but, nah. No thanks. Think I'll pass. And brush my teeth again.

    Escapist News Now: Is a Borderlands 2 Prequel Coming?

    Sadly I am of the opposite position compared to Clankenbeard: more Handsome Jack? No thanks. Things great in BL2: shootin', lootin', Tiny Tina, just about every humanoid enemy, Maya, "I have a Siren," TORG!, etc. Not so big on: Jack, Jack. More Jack. ***** dies. Yet more Jack. Replaying...

    Dark Souls 2 is sadistic.

    Sadly, it wasn't. There was no caster in that particular killstreak. =3

    Dark Souls 2 is sadistic.

    Quick note for them looking to fight the Pursuer with help: The ballista are capable of friendly fire. Holy cats I saw people 1-shot the host at least 3 times with poorly timed shots, and deliberately at least once. One try some assmonkey actually killed me and the host with the same volley...

    Darkest Dungeon Kickstarter Passes $250k in Final Week

    Ok, this is goddamn cool looking. I'm a little leery of going back to give-and-take automated RPG mechanics, but if the atmosphere delivers I'll take it.

    Is Dark Souls really that good?

    Best way I can describe what makes Dark Souls worthwhile is the very large number of time you will in your playthroughs go, "holy shit, that's...amazing." First time seeing Gaping Dragon. First time Anor Lando sprawls out beneath you. First time you get what's going in the Duke's Archives. First...

    Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade - New Information

    I got hope. Doesn't have to be crazy deep or complex. Just let me kill and die as an Eldar soldier, and I'll be content enough.
