    Should historic games have like world war two games avoid harsh subjects?

    Considering that at least one person will have his or her sensibilities offended by absolutely everything, there is no point in trying to avoid "harsh" topics because they might offend someone. That being said, I think not all platforms are equally suitable for such topics. For instance...

    Poll: What region would you like to see in next Elder Scrolls Game?

    I think Elseweyr with its jungles and deserts could make for an interesting area, but I doubt Bethesda would do that. In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if the next TES game would be labelled "Skyrim 2". I also always wanted to explore Argonia, but given that the entire area is...

    Poll: If you were Cloud in FFVII, which girl would you pick?

    Canon-wise it'd be undoubtedly Tifa, but I always liked Aeris more. Many people see her as that stereotypical cute, innocent "White Mage" char, but I think her threat towards the Don to remove certain anatomical parts of it quite nicely showed that she can play quite a different tune if necessary.

    Is it Okay for a Game to be Unfair?

    When I think of unfair games, I think of Earth 2150's expansion pack "Lost Souls". Now Earth 2150 itself and the first xpack "The Moon Project" already were quite challenging difficulty-wise (with one of the last campaign missions for TPC requiring you to destroy 4 enemy super weapons within 5...

    Your genuine views of Let's Players and Let's Plays.

    What do you all think in general about Let's Players? I dislike most. Especially those who adopt "funny" stage personas. Do they help the gaming industry? Quite so. Let's Players, for good or bad, have an extremely large audience, and can make or break games (cf. Five Night at Freddies and...

    Are there any games you play just for the soundtrack?

    As other already said, Hotline Miami has the throne. That being said, I really liked the music in Strike Suit Zero. It very nicely managed to catch this feeling of charging towards enemy capital ships that are firing everything they have in your direction.

    Your worst "Oh hell I am dumb" gaming moment.

    In Shadow Warrior, there was one particular level in the later game when you essentially came into a rotunda and had to slash your way through different corridors extending from it to disable a force field blocking the exit. So I made my way through said corridors, successfully destroy two of...

    Do you play games you don't enjoy?

    Depends. The only occasion where I really play games I don't enjoy is when I fervently hope that after all the boring stuff, maybe the game actually has something fun going for me (i.e. Viscera Cleanup Simulator). The other reason is that I sometimes play games because I want to play their...

    Poll: Does Hatred actually look like a good game?

    As much as the moral guardians who whine and cry about the setting annoy me, what worries me more is that chasing after fleeing civilians to the point that you might as well play the Benny Hill theme in the background might get boring rather fast. I assume there also will be armed enemies...

    What's the most boring game you've aver played?

    Viscera Cleanup Detail. It is beyond me why people think taking a boring monotonous task in real life and planting it into a game would make it less of a boring, monotonous task. The comments of the player character may make the game amusing for roughly five minutes (and that is a generous...

    I ain't touching that with a ten foot pole.

    Dungeon Keeper Mobile. Definitely Dungeon Keeper Mobile. I mean, EA is not exactly known for overly caring about its "fans" so long as the green keeps flowing, but which person thought it a genuinely good idea to make a game whose primary fanbase was born years before all this cow-clicker...

    Video game characters you'd kick downstairs

    Montezuma's AI from Civ 5. Assuming he didn't push me down the stairs first.

    Older Games You Remember That No One Else Seems To

    I still fondly remember Cosmo's Cosmic Adventures - a sidescrolling platformer from my (very) early childhood days. You basically played as an Alien kid that had suction cups for hands. This seems completely awesome until you realize that you have suction cups for hands.
