    You Can Play Virtual Fighter 5, Chat up Cam Girls, in Yakuza 6

    A game where sitting at home playing video games and relying on the internet to pretend you have any sort of ability to interact with women are core mechanics? Sorry Yakuza, I prefer to play games about things I don't already do in reality.

    Poll: Which do you think did Violence in Videogames better? Spec Ops the Line or Undertale?

    I hate to break it to you, but it's all just a game to the player because it literally is just a game. There is no world, these characters are not experiencing anything, it's a video game created for the sake of the player experiencing it. This is what video games are. And any game that whines...

    Don't blame Princess Peach for being kidnapped. Blame Bowser for kidnapping her

    She could so totally break free if she wanted though. I played Melee Peach, your down smash is ridiculous. Bowser puts you in a cage? Spin around, you're free. Bowser objects? Float around slapping him until he's gone. That matchup's like 9-1 in your favour, don't give me that "oh Mario I'm so...

    Please lock

    Awakening waaaaaayyyyy stepped up the goofy anime cliches and shipping. By a mile. By two miles. Three miles? Do I hear four, anyone got four, FOUR MILES! Whether you like it or dislike it is beside the point. As for being compelling, nah, Awakening was disappointing and the new one isn't...

    Please lock

    After a few years of people telling me I was a moron to suggest that Awakening was a sign that Fire Emblem was going off into wacky anime territory, it's nice to be validated lol

    How would people react to George Carlin today?

    He'd be hugely popular, given that his politically themed humour was basically just screaming "Republicans are evil" over and over with no actual jokes. Modern audiences would eat that up. He'd probably get some flack for the more obvious shock value routines though, less for being too offensive...

    Now I remember why I stopped playing games like Fire Emblem and X-COM....

    Pretty much 99% of all complaints about RNGs (actually that may be understating it) is people who don't understand probability in the slightest. People are bad at it without practice generally, and most people assume that anything over a certain number (usually around 70%) is "guaranteed" and...

    Best Dialogue Options in Games

    Fallout New Vegas is pretty good, and though it's not what you asked, the dialogue options for skill checks you don't actually meet tend to be hilarious.

    Poll: rape worse than murder?

    Murder, it's disturbing to say otherwise. When you claim that murder is worse than rape, you're basically telling every rape victim in the world they'd be better off dead.

    Canadian Politician Endorses Life-Sized Wolverine Statue

    Incredibly idiotic. I'll cringe every time I have to walk by city hall if they actually go forward with something like this.

    New Street fighter Ultra character is just a Cammy re-skin

    There are actually quite a few characters that can combo into ultra off non-counter hit normals, you just don't see it much because it's hard to do. Ken can do jab into Ultra 2, Yang can jab into one of his ultras, Cody can do close medium punch into Ultra 2, Balrog can jab into Ultra although I...

    Poll: Feelings about the competitive meta-gaming community .

    I feel like it's pretty good and this thread is just going to be a circle jerk of people whining that other people doing their own thing somewhere else somehow hurts you

    Twitch Plays Pokemon Beats Pokemon Crystal

    The friendship evolution isn't that crazy, you increase friendship by walking around and if there's one thing TPP is good at, it's taking seventy steps where one would do.

    Poll: Babymetal

    Would anyone be offended if I described the quality of this as an avalanche of ass? No? Good :) Generic paint by numbers metal with the least fitting vocals imaginable is not a good combination. There's way too much love for taking some small element of metal and then coating it with ideas...

    What Game Had the Most Wasted Potential

    Mass Effect 2. The first game ended on a high note and seemed to set the stage for a great series. Then comes...Mass Effect 2. The gameplay gets a tad better and the cast of characters is even better, but the overall main plot becomes a nonsensical train wreck and kills every bit of momentum the...
