Re: That loot box legislation... let's talk about it

Regulation is desparately needed, sorry - don't believe all those right-wing conservative pundits who tell you that regulation destroys everything. It's horse shit. Corporations are out to make a big buck and the pundits who support that fuckery are the ones who think it's the end of the world when ...

That loot box legislation... let's talk about it

I'm sure most of you know about the beast that the lying, greedy scumbags our good friends at EA have awoken. I can tell you, in more than 20 years of being a gamer, I've never quite seen the amount of uproar over a single game as I have now, and I couldn't be happier :twisted: . The fact that ...

Re: Different Shooter Styles

Being blunt with you, Titanfall's advanced movement system kinda loses its novelty after a while. The ability to immediately take off 10 feet into the air means that the ground below you may as well not exist, and maps essentially become a series of interconnected wall running paths. That's not to ...

Re: So COD:WWII is out, and unsurprisingly, it's not great

My reaction to this game existing is one of indifference. Activision milks a series and its players for profit? No big news there. They're doing the "predictably shitty" thing, like they've been doing for years now. It's much easier and more productive to just stop giving them the time of day. True ...

Re: So COD:WWII is out, and unsurprisingly, it's not great

We get it. COD sucks. I mean, I realize bashing COD is about as original as breathing :P . Normally I wouldn't even care that a new COD is out - that's as much of a landmark event as the fact that I woke up this morning - but there's just something that really triggers me about a WWII game that ...

So COD:WWII is out, and unsurprisingly, it's not great

I will admit that the prospect of a Call of Duty that went back to the series' roots was something I could get behind. Unfortunately, COD:WWII isn't that. COD:WWII really doesn't feel anything at all like the classic CODs. It feels more like a WWII mod for one of the sci-fi CODs. It plays more or ...

You forgot Nioh and Horizon Zero Dawn.
Never played those. Don't have a PS4 :P (although Nioh is coming to PC I believe).

Re: This year has been great for platformer fans!

Metroid: Samus Returns was excellent. I feel it could've used more monster variety though. Despite being a huge Metroid fan, I was waiting to buy that because I was flat broke when it came out and also because I didn't want Nintendo to see my $40 purchase as a greenlight to use amiibos to hide ...

Re: A long overdue "games as service" rant

Otherwise, the kids growing up with gaming nowadays won't even have the option of loading up their old games for a nostalgia trip because those games were taken offline the moment they stopped being profitable. ... and that will probably when the whole system starts to tumble - when people start to ...

Re: A long overdue "games as service" rant

The whole problem with trying to fight DRM is that the deck is so heavily stacked against you that you might as well be trying to climb Mt. Everest without an ice pick. Loads of companies are vehemently against the idea of DRM-free and would sooner deny their paying customers the rights to use the ...

Re: Bad games to avoid...

Here's another new bad game to avoid. Star Wars Battlefront II (the 2017 EA one, not the one made by Pandemic and Lucasarts), because of the microtransactions and loot boxes. EA's gone into full piss-take mode with that one. A $60 game with a progression system that's set up exactly like the worst ...

A long overdue "games as service" rant

This rant has been long overdue, and I need to get it off my chest. Any time I hear the phrase "games as service", I just want to throw up. It's the industry's new favorite buzzword to make something cynical and awful sound like something the consumer wants. What the term "game as a service" really ...

This year has been great for platformer fans!

2017 has been a real mixed bag for me in terms of gaming. The year started off strong with stuff like Persona 5, Zelda: BotW, and Nier: Automata. Then we found out that two of the year's biggest releases (those being Middle-Earth: Shadow of War and Star Wars Battlefront 2) were going to feature ...

Re: Platform gaming rant! (Feel free to add your own!)

In all fairness, both the original Super Mario Bros. and Metroid on the NES have aged like ham. Even as a die hard fan of the series, I've tried beating Metroid on the NES numerous times and just didn't have the patience to grind through the game's massively outdated design. Same thing with Super ...

Re: Visceral Games, one of EA's oldest studios, shut down

And then what? The industry will never recover. There won't be another movie or game ever, it's all been done! There's way too much interest in either the games industry or movie industry for them to just become dormant and never see the light of day. If the market does crash, someone will come ...
