    Poll: Metalcore Hate

    Not a fan of Metalcore here. Although exactly why I admittedly cannot tell. It has something to do with the singing style. I like The growling of say Amon Amarth or Dark Tranquillity, but not the shouting that is in a lot of Metalcore. It also has to do with the riffs. I can listen to melodic...

    Japanese games and race

    That's one thing I actually like about this art style: That it doesn't look like any particular, existing ethnicity. To me it helps to sell the world of the game as something self-contained. The less references to something that exists in the real world the better. Not every game has to be like...

    A sense of dread shrouds Nintendo?s Wii U

    Ok then, because I feel like it: 1.: You think the WiiU had a poor launch. You provided two reasons: a) the PS3 outsells the WiiU: b) The Wii sold better at it's launch Now of course, those two things cannot be argued with. What can be argued with is if those 2 observations...

    Poll: Shooter Weapon types

    I find the lack of lasers and plasma guns disturbing... You know, guns that are *not* real. The Ripper from UT. The shock rifle. The BFG. Guns that make things explode in colorful bursts of energy. Oh, and of course rocket launchers. The ones that let me rocket jump.

    Is it theft

    To me, theft still involves something being taken away from someone. You know, that's why we don't like it. I don't care if the thief now has stuff he didn't pay for. I care about the fact that I don't have said stuff anymore. So this here might be piracy, if anything, but not theft. And no...

    Pre-Order Bonus Shennanigans

    I hate pre-order bonuses that contain in-game items you can't get otherwise. If the publisher or whoever wants me to buy the game before I even have a chance to know if it is any good, chances are I won't buy the game at all. Pro-Order Bonuses are not "A company's way of thanking fans". It's a...

    Poll: What percentage of games that you purchase are brand new, $60 titles?

    I mostly buy new games. The rule for me is: if it is worth my time, it is also worth my money. If it is not worth my time, it is not worth my money, even if it is cheap. There are sometimes exceptions to this rule, but if a game doesn't interest me when it is new and full price, chances are it...

    Poll: Dark Souls ending discussion

    When I killed Gwyn for the first time, I didn't even know Kaathe existed. (No spoilers until after the first playthrough). However, for some reason I wanted to go back to someplace before linking the fire, and by leaving the room I accidentally triggered the dark lord ending. In retrospect I...

    Name your top 5 games this gen

    This is so hard... a lot more than 5 games this gen where terrific, impossible to establish an order. But these 5 have left the biggest mark on me: - Demon's Souls This was to me the most unexpected yet biggest discovery in gaming since Gothic 1. Although Dark Souls improves on a lot...

    The perfect organism...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade This one, hands down. It can survie in the Antarktis, it can survive in the deserts. It can survive in the deep sea. It can survive in outer space. A small quote from the wikipedia: Tardigrades are able to survive in extreme environments that would...

    So... Was anyone else disapointed by the design of DIABLO?

    Diablos new design is fine. I found Belial and Azmodan to be cheap, simply another monstrous demon, but then again, so where Baal and Duriel in D2. Mephisto in D2 had a really cool design though. Gameplay wise, the improved game design and combat mechanics lead to shorter fights, which in...

    Give me your thoughts on this statement.

    To actually comment on the statement: Absolutely true. And that has nothing to do with the question of what is and what isn't art, it is basic logic. If something hasn't reached a particular level yet, it doesn't mean it never will. On another level, just because something is not on the...

    Poll: Is it worth it to get mass effect 3?

    Get ME3. Oh, and yes, it is possible to not hate the ending. I liked it. Partially for the exact reasons others hate it.

    So, death penalty

    Now thats got to be one of the stupidest things I ever read. If you have no moral or ethical problems with killing, do you have any sence of moral or ethics at all? As for the second part... this is even duber than the first part. Yes, people kill people. But it is never good. Even if it...

    Is IGN really ignorant?

    Things I heard about ign: - they are biased towards the XBox 360 - they are biased towards the PS3 - they are paid of by all the major publishers - they give popular games (from said publishers) bad scores to ignite flame wars - they have bad writing (as clearly, all of us are perfectly...
