    Dead Space 3

    There's no value going down this circular path of 'he says she says'. It's not like people who had a problem with the difficulty of the previous Dead Space games didn't have the option of dropping down to easy / normal to achieve the exact same effect of having more ammo and health packs than...

    Dead Space 3

    It's a major flaw of the game because of a false premises? This is a classic 'did you stop beating your wife' logic trap. 'You are never, ever in danger of dying or running out of ammo.' 'Uh, no. I was both in danger of dying and running out of ammo...' 'Then you have to be either...

    Dead Space 3

    Sorry, but I don't agree that it's a piece of shit game just because Sean doesn't like it, in the same way that I don't agree that the games Sean praises to the high heavens are awesome just because he loves them. Despite what you think, you are not the fountainhead of game evaluation and there...

    Dead Space 3

    I'm lying because I'm repeating what the IN GAME description for each difficulty level says? Also: Easy ammo drops: 6 ammo units / drop Normal ammo drops: 5 ammo units / drop Hard ammo drops: 4 ammo units / drop Impossible ammo drops: 3 ammo units / drop Check it yourself and then...

    Dead Space 3

    The list from your video for the first five minutes: scene 1: human stabs another human with a screwdriver scene 2: generic isaac vs. necromorph fight scene 3: human gets engulfed in plasma along with a necromorph attacking him scene 4: generic necromorph pops out of a vent scene 5: human...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Voiced vs. not voiced is less a stylistic trade off than it is a resource trade off. Very few people spurn the fully voiced protagonist when said protagonist has the voice he / she envisions and this has no effect on the amount of customization and dialogue options in the game. Practically...

    Dead Space 3

    Survival horror games that attempt to maintain a coherent world and storyline through their sequels always end up degenerating in their horror elements. From Resident Evil, to F.E.A.R., to Dead Space, there is not a single series that managed to avoid this fate. Sequels, less direct sequels, do...

    Dead Space 3

    It's obvious what they were going for: It's not obvious what being set in a snow planet has to do with the game lacking atmosphere, because blizzard, fog, and mist all serve the same function in horror: to limit visibility and thereby create the equivalent of 'white darkness.' Besides...

    Dead Space 3

    Oh and Sean, negging everyone who 'defends' Dead Space 3 because you hated the game is petty and shows how close minded you are. This despite you yourself saying you had 'mixed feelings' about the game is lulz worthy.

    Dead Space 3

    This game isn't that different from Dead Space 2 except that they introduced a bunch of annoying EA DLC faggotry and mini games. People overrate the frozen planet gimmick. Yes, there are encounters with human enemies. Yes, they are terrible. But they are a small segment of the game. The bulk of...

    Beautiful Creatures (Not a Twilight Remake)

    Between this, Twilight, and Warm Bodies, Hollywood is milking the crap out of the 'magical girlfriend/boyfriend' genre. As for the film, I don't agree with critics that this is a chick flick, nor that the gender switch in roles is of minor importance. First of all, the 'magical girlfriend'...

    Spartacus

    The one scene I didn't enjoy of Caesar was the one in which he split the head of the guard who came to be report about Spartacus taking the city. Makes him into a stereotypical bloodthirsty villain.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    EQ had enough of a novelty factor with yearly and bi-yearly expansions. Blizzard works nowhere near as fast. Even then EQ was at the limit of what was acceptable when it comes to tedium and indeed stepped over it: nobody enjoyed the hell levels and 1 AA / 5 hours grinding the same shit over and...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm going to make this brief. The difference between D2 and D3 w.r.t. replayability is that you get into that 'minimal novel experience' phase a lot sooner in D3 than in D2. D3's end game is to play one class, grind Paragon, and get +betterer from betterer rolls. It's not that you max out sooner...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    One was a PBAOE. One was a line pierce. One was a target seeking missile. See how there is zero overlap between these skills? Poison Nova and Bone Spirit have entirely different synergies and support skills and play styles, which is why these two examples were chosen. Even Spear and...
