The fourth difficulty setting, Prince. I usually play either that or King, but I've been meaning to start one on higher difficulties as soon as I can figure out which Victory I prefer.

Back to Civ 5 again, I lost last game to Indonesia, as they won a Diplomatic Victory. This time as Japan, I got into an early alliance with the Zulus and brought Siam back to life after they had been conquered by Russia. Pretty good start, and I have the lead both culturally and diplomatically...

There are hipster restaurants? Seriously asking, which ones? I'm curious, I actually want to try and visit them now, see if they actually try to pass off badly made food as unique or ironic.

I'll just repeat my theory - the game's development might have been fine at first, aiming at an improved Fallout 3 even if still not as good as New Vegas, then somehow the decisions were made to turn the game towards things that were currently popular, i.e. Minecraft and Destiny. When you have...

Well, this certainly is an "interesting" article, by Alex St. John, co-creator of DirectX. Subject of controversy, lately. Personally, to be blunt, people with this kind of mindset can go fuck themselves.

Just finished Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Pretty good, not exceptional by any means but it's what should be an industry standard - good pacing, well-written, about 4-6 hours of fun gameplay for about 15 dollars. My few criticisms are that it gets a little repetitive by the second half, it's...

Never having played a Souls game before, I just bought and tried out Dark Souls 3. Certainly lives up to its reputation, which I found out with my first experience. I breezed through the starting area, thought its difficulty had been exaggerated all along, and was subsequently pounded into dust...

I think I do just fine, but if you insist, you can explain to me the proper definition of game design and I'll keep it for future reference. Always good to learn new perspectives. What's your point, though? Do you just disagree? I don't mind. It's always hard for me to figure out others'...

It's been used often as short-hand term to refer to the classic western RPGs, the majority of which I believe were from before the millennium. It's terminology has shifted over the years, the same way first-world and third-world used to refer to allegiances during the Cold War but now refers to...

This was actually entertaining.

Will do! :mrgreen: Don't shoot me until I'm finished, that would be rude. Did they really have to say that? Be that specific? The final summary was correct, and okay, I know they're the damn RPG Codex, stalwart protector of the classic computer RPGs and all the good in it. But I just wanted...

The weapon repair system in any game is always a can of worms to open up for discussion. It's great in theory, but every time it has been used, it throws in so much tedium the fun added by the challenge is never worth it. It's not a very popular opinion, but I still think that it can be done...

Replaying Half-Life 2, I've come to realise how bad I've gotten at taking on entire squads while strafing, as opposed to the industry standard of playing whack-a-mole from behind chest-high walls. Not that the latter is always bad - one of the series that get first-person cover shooting right...

Uh-huh. "dun dun DUNNNN!" and "FUCK. THAT. GAME." - badly worded is an understatement. If I had read only the first post and didn't immediately see the OP was you I would have automatically assumed that they were trying to stir up trouble. To be honest, I still think you were. While I...

I've been to the Codex. I feel like the place is one of the examples that work against why free speech should exist.

As I've said a billion times before, if you're legitimately asking, provide examples of what kind of games you like. I think you already have once but I forgot in which thread, so I suppose just do it again.

Is random philosophy your running theme or something? Not that I mind. Well, a submarine presumably beached for real, but there's no indication that the Shi are actually their descended crew. The logs are of the submarines themselves, most of them are corrupted, and the legitimacy of those...

The first is probably a very slight exaggeration and the fifth will probably be termed "energy mutations" or something, but this actually seems like an exact prediction.

I fill enough humans with bullets in Fallout 4 that I should be able to scrap the raider corpses on my settlement for extra metal, yet I cannot. Immersion failure, 0/10 Bethesda.

See third paragraph of my previous post for my actual point. Obviously it's not alright for him to troll, but it's alright for anyone to insult newcomers and use being "bitter" as an excuse. Hey, maybe he's just being bitter, that's why he's doing this! No? Not okay? Now that's about how dumb it...
