    Final Fantasy I Review

    Look, I know FF1 is an old game and it's probably hard for someone your age to find any enjoyment out of it.. but this "review" sounds like it was written by someone who doesn't even play RPGs. The original Final Fantasy was more closely based on Dungeons & Dragons in it's gameplay. There's a...

    Zero Punctuation: Survival Special (Rust, Starbound, 7 Days to Die)

    I think you need to watch this Jimquisition video. Early Access is a big deal, and Jim goes into pretty good explanation of why it's important for Yahztee to be doing these games and treating them as final releases. Especially since some never leave beta after you've bought them...

    Pachter: Nintendo Should "Consider Getting Out of the Wii U Business"

    Doesn't anyone remember what Sega did with the Dreamcast? I'm still upset I spent lot of money I didn't really have to get the console, my first truly-owned-by-me-and-not-borrowed-or-rented Sega console... and they fucked yanked it after 2 years. It took me almost a year to save up a fair chunk...

    Nintendo Makes Major Reductions in Wii U, 3DS Sales Projections

    Last year I was selling some old DS games I never played (and wouldn't miss) along with Sticker Star (which I loathed). A family came by during the garage sale and their kids were looking at the games. I actually did have to tell them the one wasn't for the DS, but the 3DS. Neither the child nor...

    Windows XP Phaseout Puts 13 Million Japanese PCs at Risk

    I still use Windows XP at home. While it is partly cost, it's mostly a matter of personal taste and familiarity. I've seen and experienced Windows Vista, it was horrible and I hated every time I had to use that computer. I've seen and experienced Windows 8, it looks ridiculous and I can't...

    Escapist News Now: Xbox One Beats PS4 In Black Friday Sales

    I have to wonder if this is some sort of deliberate misrepresentation of the facts. I mean, how can anyone look at the data and say "yep, the Xbox One is doing better"?

    Pokemon X and Y's Pokemon Bank Won't Launch Until Dec 27

    Personally, I don't like this at all. It isn't the price, it's the principle of the thing. I really don't believe that the 3DS can't communicate properly with the DSi-enhanced games, but just for the sake of argument let's say it's true. Why the hell do we have to go through a ridiculous...

    Do you think writing will become an obsolete skill?

    This is as laughable as the idea that "books" are no longer necessary. Writing will never truly be replaced, but if anything will coexist alongside type. I do agree with some that "handwriting" may eventually die out, but actual writing will not. It is so much easier to whip out a pen and...

    Escapist News Now: Tomb Raider Sequel Confirmed For Next-Gen

    ...why do we still care about realistic hair, again? Well, so long as this feels more like.. you know.. Tomb Raider and less like.. Tomb Raider.. I think we'll all be a bit happier.

    Dead Or Alive 5: Ultimate Trailer Offers Breasts Aplenty

    I'm confused as to why Team Ninja just doesn't give in and make porn instead of video games. I mean, cripes, Xtreme/Volleyball has more appeal than "sexy" women beating up teenage girls with implants. May as well just have them attack by shaking their chests at one another; breasts that big are...

    Does anyone even buy games full price on steam?

    I'm sure I've bought a couple of Steam games full price, but for the life of me can't remember which ones. Almost everything has come from sales, bundles or gifts. If the default price is relatively cheap, and I know/think it will be good I might pick it up, but except for Indie games that's...

    Games you didn't want to play because of the main protagonist

    If you must "because of who you play as" then no. If you mean "what's on the cover" then sure. There was some RPG.. Record of something-or-other.. and it featured overly sexy women fawning around some guy, and the back of the box said over 100 characters and I was like "haha.. no." As a rule...

    Petition to Free Jailed League of Legends Player Reaches 100,000 Sigs

    I am 100% glad he got arrested. Perhaps 8 years is severe, but I think stupid kids like this need a gods-damned wake up call. You make rape threats, shooting threats, etc and expect to get off scot-free? Hah! Just because its the internet, doesn't mean it's all some big joke and nothing matters...

    Tired of the term "Optimization"

    Gods am I glad so many of you have stepped up and defend optimization. Without it, people like myself on lower tier computers might not even be able to play newer games. I got a very barebones, designed for simple office work computer from my aunt as a gift when her workplace was upgrading to...

    Movie Bob gets called out by Chris Roberts on PC gaming

    This doesn't really make me like MovieBob any less. I'm kind of sad that people will instantly jump the shark as soon as somebody comes along and attempts to prove them wrong, especially since Chris wasn't exactly being friendly or even attempting to hide contempt. I'm reminded of the heated...
