I find that the most popular and most known animes are the ones that sold enough in Japan to be valid for sale in the West, American companies pick this up mostly I think, but don't quote me on that. So of course we probably miss out on some underground gem that is less known, for example, I...

Seems to be a misunderstanding, I said 'cover' as a way of shortening 'cover combat system' or 'auto-cover' systems, I think we all might have different views of what a cover system is, in my book, now that I think about it it's not actually FPS it's 3rd person shooters (and a few FPS games)...

Well people are inclined to violence differently, comically enough, psychologically, disciplined people are more inclined to violence than thoose who don't recognize authority. My point is that video-game violence can't make you violent because it's not actual violence, you can't feel the power...

Cover systems are for console FPS games because they need to compensate for crappy controls, in PC FPS games this is easily recreated, and Half-Life never had the kind of battles where cover is nessecary and forcing it into Half-Life would radically change the gameplay from that of an intense...

I am by nature a very depersonalized humanoid but when I have had inadequate amounts of sleep this turns to the extreme, but even though I still have the classics: Laughing for no reason, drinking alot of coffee then realizing it only makes you more tired and standing still trying to figure out...

I find most RPG's to be highly inadequate, mind you I have played a few RPG's in my time that I did enjoy but they were mostly some sort of hybrid, like an FPS/RPG or a RTS/RPG. And Jrpg's are the ones without any emotion, I mean can anyone relate to Jrpg characters, can even the japanese...

I have a fetish for reloading, I care more about the reload animation and sounds than anything else in an FPS game, especially bolt-action sniper rifles, I don't care if theres a better sniper im using the Springfield, which is why I loved Battlefield Vietnam or CoD2 so damn much, the rifles and...

Halo is widely discussed because of it's popularity through marketing campaigns, I fail to see the reason to discuss it because I think most reasonable folk can agree that it quite simply is mediocre, average and bland, it's just your run of the mill shooter like BLACK or FarCry, theres guns and...

Most things are rather multi-console nowadays, or are Xbox titles and then become PC titles to milk some more moolah from the franchise. I think we will mostly have Spore and Valve games to look forward to, most other games are Xbox/PS3 titles, mostly FPS games which is quite strange, FPS was...

When I was young it was Harvest Moon for the SNES, kinda awkward playing it around someone and they go "So uh... You plant potatoes?" and then getting into it and talking about how you take care of livestock and get married and how all of that works... I always married the blacksmith chick...

Reently finished reading Aldous Huxleys 'The Doors of Perception', now working my way through Oscar Wildes essays which I might add are highly fascinating. Was never one for fantasy books which I think most people on the forums are I just read all the shit most people have already read because...

Well we do live in this bizzare age of bad remakes. adaptions and hyped franchises. The technology has gotten better and with that I think we all expect better games, look back and think of the great games you've played, Grim Fandango, Yoshi's Island, Fallout, No One Lives Forever, Jade Empire...

Well no, Mr. Croshaw is hilarious and he's got a great beard, not to mention his hat, he's just pure sex all over. But before I even watch his reviews I tend to have the same presumptions about a game or the same oppinions about a game I already own. I am very selective with my games and im not...

Not really, Link is the silent contemplative hero who survives on luck and inhuman stamina, he isnt human though, what is he... a fearie? Depends on the game I guess. But I prefered what they did in windwaker, wind waker used expressions more than any other zelda game has, Link became a very...

MMORPG's are about grinding, Star Wars Galaxies was even about grinding, altough I gotta say early SWG was bloody sweet. Nostalgia aside the idea of being rewarded in an MMORPG by getting gear is something that has crossed my mind but that concept really only works in single-players games, like...
