    Hardware Stagnation (Semi-Rant)

    It was late when I posted so I didn't really construct my post as well as I could've and some of my thoughts came out a bit randomly. I'll try to organise them a little more to make more sense. I think one of the points i'm trying to make is that it seems like the game industry as a whole has...

    Hardware Stagnation (Semi-Rant)

    You could theoretically, but even that?s a stretch imo. I don?t know who would ever want to game on a $100 PC, even with an upgraded GPU. What kind of GPU would even work in a $100 PC anyways? Curious to see where you?re getting that number from.

    Hardware Stagnation (Semi-Rant)

    Up until less than a month ago I was still using my rig from 2008, upgraded to the gills. I could still play some new releases with mixed settings, but it finally died (don?t ever clean your PC components with one of those electronic ?data vacs?, even with the PSU switch off). My precious...

    Hardware Stagnation (Semi-Rant)

    Last week I installed my first SSD to use instead of a regular hard drive, mainly because it was convenient since I was doing a format of my hard drive at the same time. When I was doing research into SSDs, I noticed quite a lot of comments along the lines of 'x is dead/obsolete, x is...

    2014: What games are you looking forward to?

    secrets of grinderia, Castaway paradise, Stardew Valley. There was also a sort of medieval villiage building game that i saw on RPS a while ago, can't remember the name of it and i guess i forgot to note it down. sorry. Anyway, personally for me: -Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze...

    Most disapointing game of 2013

    Payday 2. Somebody else earlier in the thread pretty much covered why Payday 2 was so dissapointing, but basically: -30 missions were promised, instead we got 12, plus another 8 as DLC later on and 5 slightly different escape missions. 2 of the original missions were exactly the same...

    Did You Find "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" Scary?

    I'm glad i'm not the only one who wasn't even slightly moved by amnesia. This is coming from somebody who is very easily scared- for example, the first encounter with the dogs in resident evil 3 when they jump through the fire was so scary that it took me ages to play the game again out of fear...

    DELETED

    Xfire says that i've played WarRock for 743 hours . In reality it's probably more like 900+ hours since i didn't always have xfire online when i played it, plus it also didn't count any of the time i spent on korean warrock (which would have probably been at least another 40 or so hours)...

    Games on Steam for £2?

    Like others said, terraria is much more of a game than minecraft is IMO, by that i mean there's more gameplay to it than just building stuff for the sake of building it. It's also fun to play with friends, and i think at this point most people on steam probably have it so you'll hardly struggle...

    Gamespot Gives Its Second 1.0/10 Score Ever to Ride to Hell: Retribution

    That's what i was thinking. This game doesn't look like it deserves 1/10 at all. Maybe a 3/10. The combat isn't good, but at least it looks at least sort of passable. It had an interesting way of dealing with staying in cover by making you still vulnerable whilst in cover. It has some...

    Why Do People Love The Dreamcast?

    I think it was just ahead of its time. Like other people said, it was the first console to have online capabilities, it also had a few decent games such as toy commander. In my opinion, the controller and the intro for the console actually looked really good, it's probably the most...

    Worst game(s) you've ever completed

    Far Cry 3. Haven't "completed" it as such, but i've basically completed it and i'm at the second island. So many reasons as to why i don't like this game. It's incredibly buggy, you can barely play the game without running into several bugs. I've just finished the co-op and in one small...

    Poll: Has Microsoft's changes to Xbox One DRM changed your decision on getting the console?

    Still has mandatory kinect. Still costs around £100 more for worse hardware because of the kinect. Still looks like an uglier VCR. Still probably a reliable murder weapon. Still absolutely no backwards compatability. Will still probably have a high rate of hardware failures. Still has some...

    Poll: Help me understand

    For me, first of all, all of the exclusives shown on the xbox 1 were mediocre or okay at best. Dead rising 3 is no longer dead rising by the looks of it. All of the other games that microsoft showed were pretty underwhelming and uninteresting. The games shown in microsoft's presentation were...

    AAA Gaming Has Moved Beyond Me.

    I also grew up in the 90's, and so i guess that includes me in their target audience (young adults/teens). Yet i absolutely hate most of the tripe A titles released this generation. This year, unless the big companies do something amazing, i'll likely be getting only one tripe A title for this...
