I think the only reason video games are considered a young persons pursuit is because video games are young, particularly in the mainstream. People who stop playing video games usually stop because other responsibilities or a change in priorities take them away from it; typically jobs and/or...

Memes are almost always funny to me. They wouldn't become memes if they weren't funny to a fairly large group of people. I usually only don't find it funny if I don't get the reference, in which case it wasn't for me anyway. If someone uses a meme that is old or overly familiar to me I don't...

I don't have nearly as much experience on console recently but despite this I have noticed more people being dicks over the microphone when playing on console and usually they sound like young teens... I could be projecting perceived immaturity there, but the deliberately annoying one will set...

Here's why you are wrong :P Seriously though, don't despair. Dark matter is at the bleeding edge of scientific theory, what could anyone that visits The Escapist possibly have to say about it other than "That's cool" and then a lot of filler debate to avoid mod wrath for low content posting...

Phew! For a moment there I thought Matt Damon had Blacked Up for the role... just me then?...ok. Not a big fan of Star Wars myself, but I'm interested to see what Disney do with it. Given the huge amount of available material and potential stories in the Star Wars universe I can't help thinking...

The game took me about 25 -30 hours to complete on hard. I didn't notice the backtracking too much as it made total sense to have to travel the same parts again whenever it occurred. Maybe I'm not very good at remembering locations or something. I don't understand the claims of a poor save...

How can a live-action movie be related to minecraft? It makes no sense at all. There's no story to use, no characters and no point really. The only thing recognizable about minecraft is its blocky aesthetic and they are doing live-action so they can't possibly use that. That's like if the...

Superheroes are a power fantasy and most comics are written by men. If there were more women writers I'm sure we'd see a larger amount of female super-heroes/villans. I'm with most people here, I don't see a need to reach some kind of gender parity. Way to make something out of nothing. I...

You can stun and hit shield guys in the back (if you can get behind them). Do combat finishers work on him? If so use bow headshots on his minions to thin them out and get your combat finisher up and use it on him (twice if you have the skill unlocked for double finisher). You might have to hit...

I'm very impressed by the whole thing. You can get a bit powerful and start clearing the nemesis board which requires you advance time so that new ork captains come in. My tip (and how I've been playing) is to never run from a fight you planned to have (even when other captains turn up)...

From the perspective of someone who hasn't read the comics, my biggest gripe with the new Amazing Spider-man films was that they were too similar to the other movies. Overall it wasn't worse, wasn't better. I felt like it wasn't worth the reboot. I would have liked to see the darker tones of...

I find it impossible to pick my personal favorite games. Newer games are better due to the devs, tech and tools getting better over time. To me, it's best to consider the era a game was released in when judging its quality (rosey tints are ok). Being as objective as I can be about games I've...

I think the game is initially underwhelming, but once you try more things out and get the hang of some of the more obscure game-play mechanics (cameras scanning further, semi-auto hack triggers during car chases)it becomes a really good game. The driving, much like sleeping dogs, suits the car...

I think it was Timesplitters 2 on the N64. Lost all multiplayer unlocks and challenge medals when the save corrupted. I don't know how many hundreds of hours I put into that game with friends. I wasn't very upset tbh, mildly annoyed though. But I never played it again after that. The experience...
