The Soviet Union just generally prospered from WW2 thanks to the forced industrialisation that happened before, during and after, but also due to cannibalizing industries in Germany and China (most Manchuria), taking over vast swaths of territory with nothing the US/British could do as well as...

Honestly? They make good games. They really do. They have good PR. But their fanbase is unsufferable. Always talking about how they are paragons of virtue that can do no wrong. Cripes, just the whole ''16 free DLCs!'' thing was a bit lame. Most of it was skins, crappy armor sets or stuff like...

Man, get over yourself. You're comparing murder and theft to my father getting experimental treatments that might have saved his life from a rare cancer; it didn't work out in the end, but all the same, it would have cost my family a fortune if we didn't have the healthcare service we have in...

Not anywhere near to make up for the difference. When they even have access to goods and services that are remotely comparable in the first places. To say nothing of the sometimes appaling or even dangerous working conditions, such as in Bangladesh when a factory crumbled, killing hundreds a few...

Capitalism has loads of skeletons in its closet, too. Let's not kid ourselves. Sure, the Western world and parts of the developping world live in prosperity... but other people provide much of their goods. Those 200$ Iphones, cheap food imported from around the globe, 20$ shirts, and so on? All...

I'm pretty sure Trump is the product of an intense dissatisfaction towards conservative elites. For 8 years now all they seem to have done is pester Obama at every opportunity while never really advancing a project of their own, beyond the Tea Party loons who want to turn the US into a Christian...

I always figured that out too. It's why he backpedaled on so many statements. He just says whatever shit he thinks will get him the most attention. He's out to win and nothing else. But then someone will have to explain to me how, exactly, that makes him any different from all the other...

I loved Human Revolution, hopefully this one is even better. Especially when it comes to combat. The sneaky path in HR was rewarding, the combat path... decidedly less so. Ideally all paths should be fun and rewarding in their own way.

That might very well be. I'm not saying I hate what they do (albeit I do think, behind the 'tough but fair' veneer, Souls games sometimes have bullshit difficulty spikes or other issues that get swept under the rug), just that they really have been riding the Demon/Dark Souls wave and almost...

The thing that makes me a bit leery of FROM Software is that they basically released the same game with a few changes 5 times. Including 3 times in the last 3 years. Yes, the core design of the Soulborne games is good, but I'd expect them to be more diverse in their skillset before I name them...

Assassinating alien rulers? I'm down for that. Not sure how a Viper King works since they're shown to be all-female, but eh.

Obsidian, no contest for me. Arkane studios as a close second. Arx fatalis was a great RPG, and I loved Dishonored. I also like Bioware, even with a few strings attached. Sue me.

And even then it's more like lovebites than anything. Tough love. Anyway, speaking for myself, I don't hate Fallout 4. I actually think it's, overall, a pretty decent game. But it needs mods to be really enjoyed, and while it works as an open world shooter with light RPG elements, as a Fallout...

I was especially annoyed at how shoe-horned in they were. I mean, I think the Vault 87 FEV strand is a bit dumb, but at least the presence of those Mutants is important to the plot in some way and them reproducing is explained. In FO4 they're literally just there. It's Fallout, therefore it...

Another DLC validating my decision not to get that Season Pass. Yay. Not like this is going to stick, however. People are angry now, but Far Harbor will release with a big map, more skeletons in compromising positions and probably some silly story about androids wanting to be pinocchio, throw...

It's also blatantly untrue that Muslim countries are universally shitholes. They do tend to have more religious influence within the State that I (and many others, I'd wager) would like, and their records for human rights and the death penalty aren't something to be proud of; I think Iran...

To be absolutely fair, that's not always an unreasonable expectation when the Codex is involved. The review does raise some good points, however. Especially given the complete dissonance between the urgency of finding your baby, and the game encouraging you to go kill raiders at the ass end of...

Can I just say I find Trump to be really pathetic sometimes? He's all gung-ho about how much of a winner he is, but as soon as he loses he starts blaming anything and everything but himself, and accused others of cheating a few times as well. He ceaselessly says that he doesn't start fights...

Depends. What are you looking for? If you want an RPG with intricate character creation, fun loot, deep combat and interesting characters, well, you're not going to find it in Skyrim. If you want an action-RPG with a fairly addicting core gameplay loop, rewarding exploration, altogether good...

The Brotherhood is somehow capable of powering a massive airship; I don't think a couple Vertibirds reverse engineered to use fusion cores or somesuch is out of their reach. I mean, sure, for gameplay reasons they have a massive fleet of Vertibirds that crash around all the time, but lore-wise...
