I am trying to remember a game, you were some guy in a mech that was performing a RECONrun on some space station. The weird part was when you encountered this AI thng, it would say "I am the Alpha and Omega" and it locked you in a room to try and kill you with altered gravity. It was an old...

It's been happening to you too? Is your ISP Comcast? They've been giving spotty service to anything wireless in the whole house save laptops as of late. My XBOX will disconnect if I'm on the dashboard for too long, or on any particular non-MW2 game for more than an hour. If I weren't totally...

"Brave New World" had me at its premise. I hated the shit out of that. It basically, after hearing a synopsis from the teacher, sounded like a schlop that bred learned-helplessness and basically reinforced that concept after it ended. I gave it a skim, and got the same feel. Also, the...

Short story: DUST tried this. Microsoft refused to let it happen because they're assfaces. Long version is that M$ has problems with games connecting to other servers, and that MMOs of any kind have to go through hoops of fire to become a disjointed branch of said MMO. Only reason Final...

PS3 got DUST. Microsoft loses because they refused to let a hybrid MMO onto their console. Why? Because it didn't connect to their servers. Next console I get is probably going to be Sony-made, because Microsoft refuses to try new things. Instead they promote stupid remakes (Halo 4/5/6)...

You're from the northern states, aren't you? If so, that'd explain your refusal to accept that people actually do talk like that. I went to a high school that was predominantly African American (was formerly a school created for the sole purpose of Segregation), and it was either ebonics or...

So we flip out because Latissha here actually depicts people as they are today, and is blatantly accepting of varying ethnicities by including them in the game, and having characters pretty much not care. Where was this guy when Bridget Tenenbaum of Bioshock fame was called a Kraut? Where was...

The game was great. Honestly it was a good game. I played it through, and got the "This is still Thedas" feel. Plus, unlike DA:O, I felt like my character was actually pertinent and did more than just get pushed through motions to save a world that ultimately didn't give a damn. Ferelden was...

As long as the story is better, I'd be happy. Or if not more epic, at least more straight-up hilarious like General Knoxx's DLC. That was priceless hilarity.

I honestly liked SMART's idea, but the game was just executed terribly. I felt I could have really liked it, if AI intelligence was at least consistent. I got to this point in campaign where I couldn't beat the mission because the AI on the other team were like Terminators and my AI companions...

Yea, sure it was a little pointless at first, but DA2 at least efficiently communicated that your family was practically screwed unless the money they were getting came through. (And there's also a way to get a loan if you don't want to drag on the opening of the game. It has a tendency to bite...

I state that a story that goes "Well the world hates you get over it, you're the Chosen One so you have to care!" in the sense that Peter Molyneux did (He's a different matter entirely, I actually get applauded for insulting him when I use these arguments almost verbatim) is bad. Otherwise I...

I dislike how if I like something like Dragon Age 2 and point out all the technical flaws it fixed coming from DAO, I'm considered tasteless casual trash. I also dislike how gaming nowadays is "YOU ARE THE PLAYER CHARACTER." It feels like such a cheap cop-out from making believable...

Okay, I've been called a raging asshole on Facebook for the last time and want to know if this is something a good number of other people can relate to. When I play a game, I expect the story to be something personal, something to relate to, way before it tells me I need to save the world. I...

Actually it wasn't. It was a little more graphically. I actually think I've found it in a game called Warzone 2100. Or at least it's close enough to the original game to get me to dig it. The PS1 version I remember playing though was a lot blockier and clunky though. Gave it some charm. =X In...
