    What You Didn't Know About Attack Speed in Diablo 3

    Well, as someone who actually plays D3 here (and similar games such as Path of Exile), I can say this post is actually accurate. I'm not sure why people have (and probably always will) have difficulty in understanding the concept here. Assuming you are using a resource spending build, which...

    Time to put the Two-Weapon Limit Out of its Misery

    This. Take Doom for example. The level designers went to great lengths to design maps with hidden access corridors and spaces where powerups, health and ammo could be scavenged. If you ignored the loot hunt and just went in rocket launcher/minigun blazing on anything that moved, you would...

    The Latest Scourge of AAA Game Design

    This is probably the most disengaging, badly done QTE I have encountered in a game that is literally littered with them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziypLB1QFUM

    How Shadow of Mordor is a Poor Man's Batman: Arkham Game

    :S This article seems nit-picky for the sake of being so. I think the vast majority of people DO NOT CARE that this game copies combat mechanics from another game. This has been happening in games for decades and there is nothing wrong with taking a working formula and doing your own...

    Judge Refuses To Dismiss League of Legends Terrorist Threat Case

    I cannot believe some of the replies in this thread. This whole incident has been nothing more than a witch hunt. All this kid did was make a stupid, and OBVIOUS sarcastic comment on Facebook. Some random lady, somehow not seeing the sarcasm, reported him to the authorities. They then went...

    Blizzard Celebrates A Year Of Diablo III With Bonus XP, Loot

    I really do not understand why people complained about the story being terrible in this game. I'm not saying its not, I just don't understand why it was such a crucial aspect of the game for you to be able to enjoy it. What exactly are you doing in the game? Are you even playing it? You know...

    DOTA2 or LoL?

    I am not after anything. My comment could easily be changed to someone who has played LoL or HoN first. You seem to have taken it to heart though which is amusing but unfortunate as it wasn't directed at anyone in particular. These are all done on the same map. They are not new games modes...

    DOTA2 or LoL?

    I am surprised no one has mentioned this yet. League of Legends is slowly breaking the mould of traditional MOBA game play, offering different game modes than the traditional 5v5 tri-lane. Some of these are the 3v3 duo lane map, 5v5 large single lane map (usually played as all randomly selected...

    Aim-Down-Sight is unnecessary for realism

    I hate ironsights/ADS in games. Aiming a gun in real life is nothing like it is represented in games, especially when using a scope. It is not realistically represented at all. For me, the retardedly long, vulnerability enabling process of using ironsights in a modern FPS is incredibly...

    196: Bridging the Skill Gap

    I think that it is important to note that many of the achievements in games these days are not an accurate reflection of skill by the players who accomplish them. Sure, there are some achievements that are genuinely difficult, but many of these achievements could be unlocked by anyone with...

    Your favourite shout in Skyrim

    Wuld Nah Kest (i.e. Whirlwind Sprint) I use it to travel. For example, I can travel to Whiterun and within a second of the city loading, be opening the door to my house. It is also great for just moving around the countryside/dungeons and getting to vendors quickly when encumbered. I use...

    Serious Sam 3 Post-Mortem

    :S Well if no one else will comment on it, I will. It is good to see a developer is still out there that isn't caving in to and jumping on the bandwagon of modern FPS game design elements (e.g. regenerating HP, cover systems, limited carrying capacities, reduced game and movement speed...

    Extra Punctuation: Action Is Not Finisher Porn

    I feel something that should be mentioned here is how these over-the-top powerful moves/combos tie into the competitive fighting game scene, and how infrequently they are actually used. Besides MvC3, attempting to get off these sort of moves is incredibly risky and are not of great priority...

    Has anyone in Australia successfully imported MK2011?

    Gaarrrgh!! I was hoping for my copy today (my birthday) but no luck. I am a sad panda :( Nevertheless to answer your original question Thri11h0u53, many Aussies have been getting their imports through customs. This thread I found is but one of several relating to success stories...
