Her accent has never been convincing to me. It actually sounds like someone putting on an English accent. There's many times where she over-emphasizes certain words to maintain the accent and this really gives it away. She always sounds a bit ditsy as a result and it frequently drives me mad during cut-scenes. At least OG Lara (Keeley Hawes I believe) got the accent right.
What? I'm not a big fan of her performance but there is nothing "hideous" about this woman. You're an eejit.
A lot of momentum this week in the effort to tackle loot boxes. With an Australian study also proving that gamblers are far more likely to purchase loot boxes, it's time for legislators to get very serious about this issue and update our laws. Loot boxes are exploitative and it seems to are detrimental to many consumers purchasing them. EA are refusing to follow the law in Belgium because there's too much money on the line for them. They are never going to reign themselves in. As an I...
So, a study shows a link between gambling disorders and loot box spending. Someone needs to send this to AndrEA Renee on KindaFunnyGames. "The more severe gamers’ problem gambling was, the more likely they were to spend large amounts of money on loot boxes.”
That wouldn't exactly be a stunning prediction. All the evidence points to this game mode being huge (twitch numbers, pre-orders, youtube videos including coverage from typically Battlefield channels, etc)
@ArchangelMike Crystal Dynamics are always having to compete with and measure up to Sony products. It's probably starting to piss them off at this stage.
Spiderman is a juggernaut. It's kind of hard to judge if TR's sales are good. Substantially more gamers purchase games digitally now than they did 3 years ago. Only 25% more boxed sales (including the PS4 version which accounted for 63% of the sales) seems a bit low though.
I feel bad for the Tomb Raider developers (at Eidos this time). I've heard that Shadow is actually pretty good but this franchise has been so mismanaged that there's not as much hype for ...
Warhawk is pretty good. It's a shame that they turned off the Starhawk servers.
I remember not thinking much of Fallout 3 the first time that I played it as well. I gave up after a few hours and it had auto-saved in a bad place. Went back to it a year later and had a blast with it. The same thing happened for me with GTA4. I didn't appreciate it originally.
Sounds "fun".
Great comment. Couldn't agree more.
Wrecking Crew and Rhythm Heaven sound like they could be cool new IPs.
@starchild I criticize one aspect of the modern TR games and you throw a hissy fit. You've been complaining that reviewers are being too harsh on Shadow of the Tomb Raider for their claims that it hasn't changed much for a sequel. How are you any different from me except that while I complain that many reviewers are not harsh enough in their critique, you believe that they're not positive enough?
Btw, I believe that WD2 is a good game but the original is a bit ...
I hope this game turns out well. We need more games like Darksiders. The reality is that publishers like EA, Activision and Ubisoft are done with these kinds of games so if it's good we should support it.
C'mon, man. Your comment doesn't make any sense. Most people by now can probably tell that I'm a PS guy (dabbled with previous Xbox consoles though) but having a preference doesn't mean that you need to be a fanboy. The XB1 is obviously significantly more powerful than Switch and Mega Man 11 isn't pushing any of these systems regardless. This article even sights a glitch in the XB1 version not present in the Switch version. This indicates a poor port:

It's a fairly solid list. Shadow Of Mordor is the only pick there that probably wouldn't be that present in many top 10s.
I'd have to agree. Solid game but that's definitely a contentious pick for top 10. Doom, The Last Of Us, Mass Effect 2, GOW, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Dead Space, Portal 2, Dark Souls, AC2, BF:BC2, New Vegas, MGS5, Bloodborne, Hotline Miami and a ton of other games would be more appropriate in my mind. But this is all obviously subjective.
You're a piece of shit.
The gun upgrade system is currently a disaster.
If it wasn't for them defying Belgian law, you may not have seen this response. They're their own worst enemy.
