    Editorial: Omitting Women From Games Because "It's Too Hard" is Unacceptable

    Personally, I usually create a female character if one is available, and it is not a matter of fetish or wish-fulfillment. A character is after all just that: a character. It is not the player. It is fun to watch a tough competent female 'Hawke' or 'Shepard' kick ass. Such a female...

    Why wasn't Kingdom of Amalur as praised as Skyrim or Dragon Age?

    Having player Amalur to the end and ALL the side quests, have to say it became a painfully BORING game. First impressions are fair, and after 10 hours you start to think it is getting better. By then you are comfortable with the combat, picked up some big loot, beat up some bosses and explored a...

    Give me a reason to not quit gaming

    EASY: QUIT! Go and climb some mountains and read some books. Get a better love life and find God. If you want to come back come back as well. Compared to the really good things in life (sex on the beach, scoring a goal in soccer, music, playing with your kids)games are way over-rated. Games are...

    Dragon Age: Inquistion - Can Bioware Survive Another Misstep?

    There is a infectious tradition of attributing qualities to Bioware games that simply don't exist. Baldur's Gate 2 was great on the basis of the Dungeons and Dragons rule-set developed by other people, and a PERFECT UI (and awesome portrait art) That game system UI is so enjoyable to use...

    Dragon Age : Origins and Dragon Age II

    Thanks for the thread, Though I feel Frozengale posted it as a kind of trap to pull suckers into an argument. Both games have weaknesses and failings. The first is over-long and lacks tempo. The second falls to pieces in many ways as a piece of RPG design but seems to impress some players...

    Not seeing the appeal of Dragon age Origins.

    The beauty of Origins is getting to know Alistair, Leiliana, Morganna, Ogryn and Shale and learning to endure Sten and the assassin moron. Its also about getting revenge by killing Howe and revenge for Ostagar. Then there is the lore about the darkspawn, the slavers, the people and guards of the...

    Poll: Mass Effect 3: Yay or Nay?

    Since both Steam and the NSI probably know everything I ever do already, Origin just seems to be another case of 'Do not resist, you cannot win'. I'll wait till I read user reviews, and then join the hive mind, and install big brother on my PC. If I don't like it I can always throw the computer...

    Are you comfortable around people of the opposite sex?

    How about comfortable INSIDE people of the opposite sex?

    Fallout 2 re-created with a bug free 3D engine that looks and plays like RAGE.

    Why do people hate their Ex?

    Is this a trick question? Because he gave me AIDS!

    I want drug users, smokers, alcoholics to explain this to me (seriously)

    Agree??? Understand??? Do you plan to agree or understand? Why do people masturbate? Do you agree and understand that? Why do people eat food they like and avoid food they don't? Why do they become addicted to substances or behaviors? Why indeed. All drugs give experience an edge of some sort, a...

    Girl gamers and their boy issues.

    My wife mocks me loudly if I have an 8 hour game session, but thinks nothing of it to do an 8 hour TV session (which seems an incredibly boring waste of time) The very word 'game' denotes self indulgance, so gaming seems to have fairly dubious moral quality in general. I guess if you make...
