Jesus Christ. This newspost perfectly encapsulates the decline in the Escapist's articles and in the hivemind community here. Just take a moment to read the Penny Arcade source and compare it to this article here. The guy that mentions Dragon Age has it right on the mark. But wait, that's a...

I'm starting to get a little tired of Escapist contributors adopting a "popular" sort of opinion (at least when said opinion is making fun of something/somebody else) in their articles. It just stinks of "hey, hey, we dislike the same things, we're the *REAL* nerds, check out our fanclub, screw...

Blah blah blah whatever. I stopped playing a couple of years back, but before then I'd played from release. If you're having fun with what you're doing, a month's subscription isn't going to hurt your finances a great deal - so you can try above the trials level 20 limit. So by all means, it...

Can't have a Splinter Cell film without Ironside's voice, and I'm not sure he'd be able to act a live action Sam.

I enjoyed in RE5. I was playing it with my girlfriend on the same couch and it was fantastic fun! Partly because there are many different phases and it takes so long, and partly because I like his voice acting and his taunts. "There's no use in hiiiiiding" practically became a mini-meme in...

Love you.

I'm just trying to mirror the aggressiveness that people channel in Activision's direction. It's always worth pointing out that "making money" is at the heart of every business strategy. To take a more recent example, before the release of Portal 2, there were many people on even these boards...

They. It's funny isn't it? Hating a company with thousands of employees because of a couple of dudes. I think that is what this press release was trying to point out - with smallers studios you often have a spokesperson that more or less does represent the thoughts of the whole developer/company...

Now just to wait for the GOTY edition! Hopefully that is due in the next couple of months.

I had to do this once recently near Christmas time. I live in the UK and the bloke that picked up was from Ireland, so he was perfectly understandable. It was very non-fuss so even though I was as fuming as you probably are now, I was quite relieved in the end. I think it is ridiculous that...

It's funny actually. I think Gears is one of those series that you have to play to understand what has changed between games. If you played Gears 2 then went back to Gears 1 you'd notice less refine present in the first game. Sure, the mechanics that form the foundation of the games haven't...

Probably. I'm playing now - I'll check and get back to you in 10. I'm going to assume it still is, though. Edit: In a match. Yes it is. Very much so.

People throw smokes all of the time, and they can try to rush you, but because the stun has been weakened and the smoke effect is huge, it's very easy to hide in it, away from it, or use it to move to a completely different place altogether that it isn't necessarily a disadvantage. At least that...

1) As far as I know, yes! 2) On one of the maps "Checkout" - which usually dissolves into a shotgun dance, it can be. 3) They do, but in a clever way. You can still move about, but can't aim or rodie run for a couple of moments. Then it's all back to normal. They smoke effect is great, and I...

Playing it now. The game is still very shotgun-centric, but the rifles are now very powerful. I'm a fan of the Retro Lancer, and I've been meaning to try out the new Hammerburst - I like its accuracy and the new ironsights. I'm a little annoyed that there are now given strategies that every...
