If you found F.E.A.R. 2 to be disappointing, I wouldn't play the third installment. By far the worst of the 3 in gameplay but best in graphical fidelity.

Honestly? Pretty much nothing. I slept in till about 1 in the afternoon, logged onto final fantasy and did my daily nonsense and just watched random youtube videos. Totally fulfilling.

This is absolutely fucking beautiful.

I live in Arizona, the exchange has been available for as long as I can remember. Nope, nothing wrong with it. All green across the board.

I'd have to see what they would pay for some of the console games I have because I stopped giving a damn after they offered $4 for skyrim 2 months after it's release.

You would honestly make a lot more through amazon or e-bay if you wanted to sell off your collections. Gamestop's sole primary directive is to screw over everyone who walks through their doors.

The thing about Watch Dogs was first of all the footage from E3 was not the actual in-game footage upon release. In fact it was tremendously down-scaled (people think it was to make console sales increase in proportion to the PC sales). The sad thing was that the change was made AFTER the game was developed, so you can change it back to what it should have looked like in the first place, and the process of doing so was not announced by Ubisoft, but a third-party individual discovered it and shared it with us. And an issue common with demos is that they are made to make the retail version look good, but in reality the retail version is far inferior to the demo. It's difficult to trust developers who allow you to pre-order something at the full triple-A price ($60 or your regional equivalent) when they can't even offer a proper demo.

No! Never pre-order! Why pay full price for something when you have NO idea what it's going to be like? Look at watch dogs, it was a colossal LIE. Also with the glory of PC gaming I never have to go back to gamestop again. Last time I did was to sell a large amount of games I just didn't play anymore, they were planning on giving me $4 for Skyrim on PS4 about 2 months after it was released, never again.

Bit of an awkward lineup but I like it: 1. Batman - I mean the world's greatest detective as a strategist (and the fact that he can beat the snot out of just about everything in a badass manner is a plus) seems pretty legit in a crisis. 2 Death (Darksiders) - It's Death, you really can't argue with one of the harbingers of the Apocalypse as he's about to reap your soul with his scythes. 3. Tsumiki (Acchi Kocchi) - I'll be perfectly honest, my mind will be nearly broken after seeing batman and death tearing things up, that I will need something cute and adorable to keep my sanity. Tsumiki is the best choice.

When applied to the modern world, I have certain requirements for games to be considered "good," please note this is for NEW games, I will discuss already released/older further down. Newer games must be capable of bringing out the capabilities of my machine, that is the first and absolute requirement I have. I have invested over $5,000 in my gaming PC and I want games that will make it worth it. The only games that have been able to do so in the past few years have been Metro: Last Light, Farcry 3, Battlefield 4, The Witcher 2, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (fully modded) and Crysis 3. However, someone might bring up the point of games that are graphically taxing are the same as graphically intensive, that is incorrect. Metro 2033 is argued to be fairly graphically intensive because it took a lot of GPU power and memory, but rather the game just ran like CRAP on all machines. With Metro 2033 it had issues with just about every single piece of hardware and when I played it I still had my two Titans installed, but the game could not register SLI very well at all and I had to remove one just to play it without significant framerate loss. Now for older games, such as the fallout or final fantasy franchises, it's first a matter of nostalgia combined with mechanics which causes me to play them still to this day. I have over 2000 hours on Fallout 3 alone with another 1500+ on new vegas, and I don't believe I could count the amount of times I completed everything in final fantasy 7, 8, 10 and 12, it just isn't possible. The fallout franchise has mechanics that I'm very familiar with and will always enjoy, that's the second reason I bought Skyrim was because it had very similar mechanics (first being it was the best looking game to come out EVER at the time). I cannot say without despising myself, that something in the past, aka the "golden age of the jrpg" as you call it, was the single greatest time of games ever, because we live in the modern world where new things are always being made. I put more hours into Skyrim than I did final fantasy 6, Grandia 2 or the Power Stone games, which is arguably a way to say if a game is better, but it can also be said it just has a LOT of content and can be approached in different ways, or it's just plain addictive to play. Now I'm not saying that the old games are bad, not in the least. One of my favorite games of all time was Phantasy Star Online for the dreamcast, I played almost nonstop when I was younger, and when it got ported to the gamecube it was a MASSIVE improvement, including the release of Episode 2. At the time this game was graphically fantastic, but even when I started to build my PC I still played it because it was a great game. With that you might be thinking I also follow franchises based on previous games, yes and no. While I did love Phantasy Star Online, it's successor Phatasy Star Universe was a colossal flop of a title and I dropped it very soon after picking it up. There was practically nothing in that game that I enjoyed even though it was a great looking game for it's time. Now, for the newer and less graphically intensive titles, such as Transistor as someone had said before me, it takes quite a bit for something such as that to impress me and push me to trying it. A few exceptions are say Terraria which runs in a fantastic way on my craptop for when I'm away on business or vacation, or South Park: The Stick of Truth, which is practically a required buy for any South Park fans, it looks like crap, but it's South Park. A huge example of what games I don't play, is the Dark Souls series. The games absolutely, look like ass. The gameplay is designed for people who love their own suffering and love to progress through that suffering but they both still run like ass. First one could not be played without third party mods and the 2nd one, while it is an improvement, it still has awful graphical features and has the same kind of gameplay. Now for the concept of quality. It first depends on the genre, whether it's an RPG, an FPS, a Point and Click, a Rogue-like, an Amnesia-like horror, a Hack n' Slash, Fantasy or Simulators (stop buying them, they're Youtube bait). With all games I have the factors of replayability, length and difficulty. For the matter of replayability, it focuses on several aspects, but one way to think of it is by looking at those Amnesia-style horror games or very linear games with no adaptation of certain aspects, there is absolutely no reason to play them more than once. Length is a very big case for me, as it's blatantly the thing that killed the newest Wolfenstein game for me; $60 on a game that had a net length of 4 hours for me. While it ran BEAUTIFULLY it was still far too short. Even if it was a cheap game or even free, I wouldn't want it to end quickly or feel as if it was rushed through it's plot if it had one. And finally difficulty, the only game do it right so far, has been the newest installment of Thief. In-depth customization of difficulty is absolutely the greatest thing that could happen other than it's graphical fidelity, making the game play how YOU want it to, how YOU want to experience it and how YOU want to change it is the best way to handle it. While it's still acceptable in other aspects, the simple 3-5 difficulties with maybe a perma-death setting is getting to be far too redundant in this age of hardcore gamers. I of course have my own personal tastes when it comes to games as does everyone else, but those are my two-cents.

I couldn't do it. It just didn't work with me.

Of the few subscriptions I have the one's I follow consistently are: Totalbiscuit: For all of my PC gaming-related content. He almost always has the information I need for PC games on high-spec systems like mine (upgrading my motherboard soon so I can put 4 Titans in instead of just two ). Totalbiscuit also has a Starcraft 2 dedicated channel here, huge fan of Professional Starcraft 2 games and Totalbiscuit does a great job commentating it. Roosterteeth: For some more mature yet slightly childish humor and well-made productions. I don't watch all of their content but I do watch quite a bit of it. Let's Play: The Achievement Hunter guys from Roosterteeth playing....well games and uploading their suffering and victories for all to see. Rather amusing. Nitori Kappashiro: Uploads a lot of Touhou music and does it very frequently, really enjoy their uploads.

Steam sale! Steam sale! Steam sale! The time of the year I get games just for the lulz and forget about them! What have I bought so far? NOTHING! Why? Early access and poorly discounted games....

Behold, the sitting glitch in ffxiv, now in mario kart form! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3Toq-ypbd8

Yeah I can volunteer for this if the times are right and if I'm available. On Mountain Standard Time which is currently the same as Pacific Standard Time.

Everyone knows what I've been playing, more Final Fantasy XIV. Been trying to get the binding coil of bahamut turn - 9 down for the past couple of weeks with my group, so I decided to record one of our nights for lawls posterity's sake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4DeLIoVTAU

Picked up a copy of Tales of Symphonia: Chronicles for the ps3 the other day. Played an absurd amount of symphonia on the gamecube when I was younger, trying to reminisce a bit, while trying not to fail so hard at it

definitely interested

I'm a little surprised this is all the chibi I found in my folders.

Founds me a Miqo'te from ffxiv in the Colosseum outfit for spell-casters, me like

Ah that did indeed happen, I thought it was supposed to do that since I've seen it in other visual novels before.

So far I'm enjoying the demo, planning on making a pledge if I continue to enjoy my time with it. I have noticed a small error though This was I believe on the second night when in Eiji's bar. I don't know if I just didn't get a file in the download or if the file itself does not exist yet.

Great pre-death screenshot in the Second Coil of Bahamut - Turn 2 in final fantasy xiv:

Moar Shiro!

stream some goat simulator, why the hell not lol
