THIS. Consistency is key to making QTE's work well. I personally dislike them entirely, but I don't mind the one's that at least keep it consistent. If you use X in the game to slice an enemy, why in the world would a QTE use the A button to do the same exact thing? The whole point of QTE's is...

Strength: 3 I'm weak as hell. I frequently lose arm wrestling contests to tiny women. Perception: 4 Crappy, narrow vision and below average hearing, not to mention horrible attention span Endurance: 6 I walk about 6+ miles a day and spend 5 days a week constantly moving at work Charisma: 4 I...

Sounds like you need to play Morrowind. Most of your gripes are not present in Morrowind. It's bigger, with many more options, quests, and overall variety. Honestly, Morrowind is still my favorite Elder Scrolls. Skyrim is a distant second and Oblivion was just a joke. However, even Oblivion is a...

1) Yes dragons are very big. The larger and more complex a model is, the harder it is to properly program it to move and detect collision. 2) Dragons can fly. No other enemies (outside of a few in Morrowind) do this, and never fly as fast or as far as the dragons in Skyrim. 3) Dragons not only...

What Skyrim attempted was extremely difficult and I think they pulled it off very well. Are there things to improve upon? Always. Are there parts that have needed improving since TES started? Absolutely. But overall, the major additions of Skyrim on a technical level (dragon fights, new...

Fallout 3 -Excellent intro -Great environments -Horrible main quest line -Varied and interesting side quests -Lame black-and-white reputation system -No hardcore/survival mode -Lots of tunnels / underground levels -Awesome music and radio stations Fallout: New Vegas -Weak intro...

1, 2, 3) I agree. The only answer is "because he's the goddamn Batman". Deception, stealth, theatricality are all traits that we innately link with Batman, regardless of how plausible they actually are. 4) With all the tedious verbal exposition going on, don't you think they could have made...

There were so many missed opportunities with TDKR. The reveal of Harvey Dent's true actions as Two-Face was so weak and ineffective, when The Dark Knight spent an entire movie making a big deal about how important Harvey's reputation was to the city. If anything, Bane could have used that...

I've had an idea like this since I was little boy. I wanted to see a game where you start out completely healthy and normal, and then your character is struck with a horrible disease. In the struggle to find the cure, the game's enemies and obstacles remain the same difficulty, but the disease...

Nothing about Mirror's Edge is "precision". Like a few people have mentioned, it actually has a quite a wide margin for error in every jump and stunt in the game. If you miss the edge of a roof with your foot, Faith will slip off the edge and grab it with her hands to catch herself. Also...

I absolutely loved Mirror's Edge, though I think it had more to do with how connected your body felt with the character rather than the gameplay. There are so many little details in the way the camera moves and the movements of the hands and feet that really make you feel like you're piloting a...

Dante in DMC 1 was an excellent character: strong confident, attractive, but never as smug as his DMC 3/4 persona was. He knew when to stop cracking jokes, and he was genuinely afraid of the demons he fought, but reflected that fear in his actions rather than his words. He projected an...

I instantly think less of someone who prefers lyrics over music. This is the main reason a lot of rap bothers me. People claim "the lyrics are so good", yeah but the music is shit. Without lyrics, a song is still a song. Without out music, lyrics are just poetry, they are not music. In the...

Zone of the Enders constantly gets overshadowed by Metal Gear Solid, mainly because ZOE offers very little in gameplay compared to MGS. However, what ZOE does offer is so radically different and precisely executed that it still deserves time in the limelight. ZOE is basically a brawler, go...

I hold onto healing items like they're the last ones I'll ever see, and at times I forget I even have them. My friend was watching me play a Final Fantasy game and I had trouble beating a boss. At one point he saw my inventory and was like "Dude, you have 67 cures, just use a couple and this guy...
