We're not all brain dead so just because your skull has the electric activity of jelly doesn't mean everyone else does. Older games did skill based mp better and Prometheus is the only other thing I've ever experienced with more plot holes than mw2.

To be fair they're going out of their way to justify this re-release. New missions and content, co-op, improved graphics and all the original dooms in a cool package.

The WORST part of Lilith was the skill that gave you an area of effect for elemental whenever you took damager. Barrels exploded around you, often killing you behind cover, and it made swarming enemies (as in nearly bloody all of them) die like flies around you taking away the twitch shooting challenge.

Kick finish sounds like a great idea! Haha. Sounds like something stalker 2 needs :(

I think yahtzee has the best score system - as in non-existent. A reviewer should be able to infer all the qualities of a numerical score in the content of the review, there's no need to reduce such a difficult and complicated medium to 8 or 9 out of 10. It's bizarre and exceptionally pointless. Critics should highlight the subjective nature of reviews and the importance of taking one person'a interpretations with a pinch of salt before removing the number system entirely.

The purpose of the phrase "video game addiction" is to identify that somebody has a severe psychological or physiological dependency on video games. What you said IS EXACTLY THAT. Youve identified nothing but the mechanism for addiction and whilst it may not be "addictive" in a chemical fashion like alcohol it's besides the point because the concept of addiction spans beyond chemical substances. It encompasses a dependency on an activity or a substance - nicotine leave...

Woah! I kinda forgot how strong take two's catalog is. That's a seriously impressive feat.

No, Notch pretty much said that himself.

"I don't think [Mojang is] indie in the sense of how I used to work any more," Perrson said during an interview with PC Gamer, "because we have a payroll to worry about and we need to do stuff to ensure the company lasts."

Good - they still won't give us this is practice but it's nice to actually have the courts say finally that we buy and own our games and that we do not buy the right to play them which is how they currently try to take total control of the market..

This isn't the least bit surprising. Ubisoft are fucking dicks for how they treat the PC fan base - I flat out just stopped buying any of their games past assassins creed because I'm tired of installing a game and then installing ten thousand extra programs that we all KNOW are stealing our personal information and selling them to organ harvesting cults.

And Ubisoft won't be held accountable for this, in fact I don't even think they should, they're doing ...

Location location location. Or in this case relocation relocation relocation.

When kidnapping is an environmental hazard like rain or snow then you need to pick your stuff up and move to a place where kidnapping is NOT a national past time.

Bought it because of this article - loved it. Absolutely loved it in every way. Needs work but I've played the crap out of it already.

Yeah rough around the edges capture it. Unfortunately the arms 2 engine has and always will give me brutal motion sickness. Only a few engines do and it's usually a mouse lag, motion blur, draw distance thing but whatever it is the arms 2 engine has plenty of it. Unfortunately day Z comes so freaking close to giving me the full zombie experience but it's far too dependent on other people to supplement an experience that should have a proper game structure and UI. It's not so much ...

Cool, well I'll just sweep my pride up over here and sit in the corner quietly. :P

Hm. Speaks well for games? Or badly for him. I can't decide. It's probably him.

This isn't how the world works - you fix problems you don't relegate an entire nation to a dirty little corner. Personally I subscribe to the sentiments of freedom, fairness and civility but I understand that for those with brains made of polystyrene it's not always easy.

I'm not going to explain why this idea is wrong as extensively as I'd like - ill just highlight that someone who pays for a game has the right to enjoy regardless of the actions of others...

This is sweet. I don't care what generation it's released on the whole concept means squat to pc gamers anyway. Doom 4 uses the rage engine at 30fps! That's just the boost needed to turn id tech 5 into the powerhouse it ought to have been from the start.

I agree but at the end of the day no matter hard they try or how bad they make it I don't think we have squat on the Germans. Just how think how they feel - so I guess we can't really complain.

This article went out the window when CoD was labelled as " realistic". Also, if you actually thought about what you said, then you'd realise that realism is not one element in games but multiple. It encompasses graphics, authenticity (the feeling of more like it), immersion , simulation and also pure learning curve factor. Games like arma have a place in the world and halo's/gears of war/uncharted/minecraft/bio shock's success proves that realism is just fine and arti...

Problem is you have to consider franchise momentum. People buy a game based on the next entry and things like reboots can be used to basically reset that short term memory. Look at splinter cell. Conviction pops out and lots of old fans cry and the publisher feels it in their wallet but then what's blacklist but another reboot. People retain optimism and think it might get better. It's a reboot right so it might be better? Not really.

So really it's gonna take ano...
