    The $70 Price Tag Is Actually Indefensible.

    I think the core Idea is that in the eye of the industry we should have been paying 70 dollars earlier and if we extrapolate that assumption to their actions we can see the last decade or so has been a cavalcade of attempts to do just that. The most successful being premium editions and...

    What does it take to get you to quit a game?

    A lack of fairness or the devs inability to adhere to the rules of their own game. that has wide implications but to give an example. I played path of exile. In poe there are races which are basically timed events that have a gimmick or mechanic added to the base game that adds challenge...

    Dark Souls II problems

    few things to know: 1 dodging sucks in dark souls 2. like it is really really awful. The devs decided it was a brilliant idea to remove invulnerability frames from dodging and put them behind a 40 point wall of otherwise garbage adaptation stat. Also the hit boxes and tracking in dark...

    Jimquisition: Salt Of The Earth - A Steam Fail Story

    Sounds to me like you are deliberately trying to play the devils advocate. And you cant compare games that have lost their network infrastructure to this game. Those games had their heyday and were full experiences during that time. People who played during the time that those games were...

    And just like that, Origin will have thousands of new users (ME3)

    it is a forum dude, the point of forums IS to discuss trivial stuff. We discuss the legit stuff with friends , family, peers , associates... you know people that matter to us. Forums are for killing time.

    the main difference between origin and steam. One is owned by a soulless corporate entity which will stop at nothing to squeeze every drop of blood out of its consumer base. The other is owned by Valve I do not trust EA with anything. I at the every least trust valve with my business.

    Games you liked but quit playing due to an (arguably) stupid problem.

    assassins creed 1 and 2 1 because the controls were wonky 2 because it was just so damn easy dues-exe human revolution, the jerky cut-scene character animations oh god they were awful torchlight, lack of multiplayer meant it was pointless.
