GET OUT OF HERE...STALKER. XD Anyway, Shadow of Chernobyl or Call of Pripyat? I remember my first playthrough of Shadow of Chernobyl on Master difficulty. The first 3-4 hours were pure drama.

That's the hallmark of good cinematography/ animation, to set things up in a way as to allow multiple interpretations of the exact same scene. Some people will go: "Holding hands + close proximity + looking into each other's eyes = enough proof for me to file it under lesbians" Others...

Yeah, me too. STEAM Christmas Sale 2017; -75% under 10 euro deal. Prolly.

We need a new champion. A new vision. A new fantasy. And... ...most likely a new company to provide all that. Imagine how refreshing it would be to play a Final Fantasy like game made by competent people who really give a damn. One day we may experience this miracle again.

Yeah, well, it would still be better for the franchise either to return to RE4 (attache case, no side-kick) or, preferably, to REmake (real zombies, claustrophobic environments). Also, with Umbrella and Wesker gone and BOWs going on a global rampage, the story is an absolute mess. So how...

As to my avatar, you are correct. Your reasons concerning the portrayal of the characters are pretty spot-on. God forbid Shiroe is ever shown as someone less than a total badass in all he does, the show seems to be implying. Self-insert character for the teenage viewer much? Also, what's up...

Whahah, yeah. It'll be one of the fastest/ shortest drinking games ever. Menma....*take a shot of liquor*. Menma! What, another one so soon!? MENMA...hiccup...MENMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *passes out*. If you want everyone getting alcohol poisoning, do it on the final episode. I wonder...

Definitely start with Shadows of Chernobyl, with the Complete 2009 Mod. As to what you should expect (the basics); -The first 2-3 hours are challenging (especially on higher difficulties) because the available guns are very inaccurate. This is not your average FPS, don't expect to...

Either Zelda/ Sheik or a new female character would be more interesting instead of some sort of Ranma 1/2 shenanigans. It's shenanigans because the developer would have to go out of his way to explain to players why, in story terms, Link is a girl this time around. Contrived "just roll with...

1. Give the player loads of varied content to experience through actual gameplay. 2. Imagine the characters to be actual people and then check whether they truly behave like actual people would. 3. Never assume that the player is engaged with the characters/ story just because he/ she...

The funny/ sad thing is...for the franchise to keep existing in order to make more money, they can never have the future conflict resolve in a final way (machines win/ humanity wins). So, you'll get a potentially infinite amount of, in essence, meaningless battles...scattered over time...

As much as I wish for the same thing to happen, it's prolly not gonna happen. FF IX was never ported to the PC. So Squeenix would have to put in some effort, in addition to the resolution upgrades and extra content (achievements and the like). Whether that effort is gonna be covered by a 13 euro...

The longer something goes on, the greater the probability of it absolutely ruining its initial tone and promise. Basically by now, no one but the absolutely obsessed give a shit. Just imagine what Naruto would be, if all the series had was 1 year and 52 episodes. Then it would've worked...

An elaboration would be nice instead of a single statement, but ultimately I think you misunderstood me. I was talking about "more complex gaming TOPICS". Topics about gaming that are more complex than say graphics and/ or gameplay (camera, controls, boss fights etc).

Or that as soon as uncommon words such as ludonarrative dissonance are used, some people go "whoa dude, cut the pretentious crap and just have fun". I wish more people would be willing to discuss more complex gaming topics in depth, especially on the Escapist...no such luck though, not really.
