Haha, yeah, I've seen them all around the place here. I've been asked to buy one myself, honestly, but...for God's sake, all they do is spin. I mean, novelties aren't always a bad thing, even though the good ones only show up once in a while. Think of 3D printers, for instance. Ever since their...

I fully agree on that. Paying for a mobile game (and all of its micro-transactions) rarely gives you access to extra content, since most of the time it's only a way to make things easier, and nowadays you can buy full-fledged games that can provide hundreds of hours at the same price. It's like...

If it's just a matter of preference, then the RPG that I've liked the most is Dark Souls (an action-adventure RPG, sure, but an RPG nonetheless). As for the game that took to heart the definition of "RPG" the most, I'd have to go with either Skyrim or KotOR. Both games take character...

I'm with you there, the excitement you get out of novelty grows thin fast. I was just pointing out how the technology market (and more specifically the gaming one), concerning both producers and consumers, usually reacts to news, even though I don't necessarily agree with it. Plus, it's hard to...

Maybe I'm making too light a use of my computer to notice it, but I haven't encountered any particular problems with it. I bought a laptop with Windows 10 coming straight from Windows XP, so I experienced an impressive upgrade in both performance and graphics. The UI looks very nice, and the...

Exactly. It's just hard to convey these thoughts to them. It would be nice if some esport teams started to stream as a group, rather than individuals (maybe some already do that, I don't know), because it sounds like an effective way of teaching teamwork to new players, as opposed to imposing...

Yeah, it's one less medium between you and the game. That would also explain the popularity boom motion controls went through with the Wii, as barebones and gimmicky as they were. The same could be said about VR, and you are right about it still being in its early stages, but it does have to...

The complexity of the "new" (compared to the traditional keyboard/controller one) control mobile devices allow surely plays a huge part, yeah. The same thing happens, more or less, to VR games. Most of them are pretty lackluster if compared to other typical games you can get nowadays, but the...

Maybe I'm blowing things out of proportion, but I believe that to be also due to the kind of audience the promotion and advertising of said games caters to. I'm not just talking about competitive people, but young ones at that. A lot of them don't want to collaborate, they want to do their own...

There's that, too. That's probably the same reason why people argue with each other over the role they're going for. It's almost like they're thinking they can drag the team alone, and if they're not doing something right...oh, no, right, that never happens. And yeah, as sad as it may sound, for...

Exactly. Plus, using a mouse is not as responsive as touch controls, so it can go from fun to frustrating really quickly. And mobile games usually don't have an engaging enough plot to make you disregard an annoying gameplay. The time factor is also important. Mobile games are way more...

It depends on where you have downloaded the software. Still, I believe that basically any digital content provider will allow you to redownload your files, so even if the original ones get corrupted you can just uninstall and reinstall. All major PC gaming digital stores allow that (Steam...

Exactly. I mean, in single player games you have no one to blame but yourself, so it's easy to realize how idiotic we would sound by getting pissed at ourselves for screwing something up. That's not the case with online games. I do understand that staying level-headed during heated matches it's...

I can confirm about the overheating deal. Both CPUs and GPUs, except for the newest models, apparently, reach very high temperatures. I don't know if this still stands true, but I once heard that AMD relies more on the number of cores and how they interact with each other, whereas Intel CPUs...

I wholeheartedly agree. Those crucial plot points are already amazing by themselves, but the soundtrack (calling it "background" would be reductive) really seals the deal. The whole audio department (including Wheatley's voice acting, that's some of the best I've ever heard) was handled...

I have used DOSBOX a few times, and, truth be told, it took me quite some time to figure out how to make it work. I've never had to deal with prompt consoles all that much, so installing games wasn't exactly a painless process. Still, I managed to play Daggerfall for a bit on it, definitely...

I can back it up. Competitive games can bring out one's scary side, and I've seen it happen quite a few times. That's most likely due to the pressure to maintain standards (and your rank, course), so you can't take a break without being surpassed by others, nor can you let yourself relax and...

Oh boy, I love Portal songs so damn much. I'm a sucker for GLaDOS, though, so I may be a tad biased here. Still, Portal 2's OST is incredible. Some tracks sound dissonant at first, but when you actually listen to them they turn into something different. That messed with my head so much. This...

God, I can relate to that. During summer my laptop gets unbearably hot, so maybe it just thinks of freezing as a good way to cool down. Sometimes it's just the game, but some other times the whole laptop hangs and also emits what I'm pretty sure to be a "screw you" in computerese (that infernal...

Hey, I loved LocoRoco! Its cheerfulness was really catchy, even though it had its creepy moments. Does this game have such mood swings, so to speak, too? I remember them taking me off guard because of how unexpected they felt. Plus, kitties over blobs sounds amazing. I'd buy it instantly if I...
