    Total Biscuit Meltdown - Tearing Down Game Media

    "I want to end drama so here's a huge overdramatic rant full of self-righteous indignation announcing my decision to stop engaging in drama" If you want to stop engaging in drama, then just stop engaging in drama. Just stop ranting on twitter, soundcloud, youtube vlogs, podcasts etc instead of...

    Is Dark Souls overrated?

    This is a valid criticism, and it comes down to the sometimes uneven quality of the Souls games. When done properly, either simply running past enemies is not a viable tactic, or you can run past enemies but the trek from the bonfire to the boss is extremely short so the tedium of simply...

    Is Dark Souls overrated?

    Forget an essay, atleast try to muster up a two paragraph criticism that isn't filled with meaningless fluff that reeks of trying too hard. "Suffice it to say it's a J-action-RPG in sheep's clothing" "The difficulty? Amateurish understanding of it." "This is my main problem with the game, it's...

    From Destructive Creations, the developers of HATRED comes... IS Defense

    I take issue with the notion that this game is edgy or controversial. Compared to the jingoism and xenophobic paranoia of your typical Call of Duty game, the premise of this game almost seems grounded. Or is it controversial precisely because it hits too close to home?

    Review RPG Codex Review: Undertale

    I get that you're being facetious, but this is still such an insulting comparison that I feel compelled to say something. Despite the beginning being the weakest part of the game, there's still a lot to love about Fallout even in the first 30 minutes. Fallout has one of the best intro sequences...

    Gameplay vs artistic/creative merit.

    No, it's not. SC2 is worse than BW in almost every conceivable way. There's a reason why the original managed to be a hugely successful esport purely based on its merits, without any support from the developers and before esports became this huge marketing gimmick. The only reason SC2 has even...

    Review RPG Codex Review: Undertale

    I didn't come across any dog in the demo and considering that you were the one who recommended we try the demo, I don't know why you're complaining. Also, I swear I see these same fucking dog interactions in like every other game these days, i.e. pet the dog and it wags its tail, shoo the dog...

    Review RPG Codex Review: Undertale

    This is just an insulting comparison. First of all, in Undertale, both the genocide and pacifist approaches to combat play out almost the same. You're forced into a combat encounter and you go through one or more rounds of bullet hell minigame in both cases. It's just that some of the options...

    Review RPG Codex Review: Undertale

    What are these memorable moments? Considering that the game forces you into a pointless, repetitive combat encounter every damn 10 seconds, you'll have to excuse me if I didn't feel the urge to stand around and painstakingly find every single interaction and detail. However, I still tried to...

    Review RPG Codex Review: Undertale

    Against my better judgment, I decided to give the demo another try. Right of the bat, we get a taste of some of that brilliant subversion of player expectations that everyone keeps talking about. The two paths you see in the top left and right are actually blocked off by an invisible wall and...

    Review RPG Codex Review: Undertale

    I'm judging the game based on what its fan are telling me about it. The simple fact is that their conclusion that the game is brilliant does not follow from their own descriptions of the game. Try to put yourself in the shoes of somebody who hasn't played the game but is skeptical and curious...

    Review RPG Codex Review: Undertale

    After watching the video, I can see why most people are reluctant to spoil the game since a lot of the appeal of the game seems to come from unexpected ways in which the game reacts to your choices. I can appreciate these things for what they are (cute gimmicks) and I'm sure if I stumbled upon...

    Review RPG Codex Review: Undertale

    From the perspective of someone who tried the demo (and hated it) back before the game became this huge internet phenomenon that people won't shut up about, and has since remained skeptical but mildly curious, the only thing this review accomplished was remind me how obnoxious the fanbase is for...

    So, anyone playing League of Legends?

    Ulminati, how do you deal with Kayle as Riven? She's probably the most difficult lane I've faced so far as Riven, definitely harded than Kennen.

    So, anyone playing League of Legends?

    They just started working on the next support so it's going to take atleast a couple of months. Good news is that it's being designed by Xypherious (the guy who made Orianna, Riven, Fizz, Nautilus). As for ELO hell, it just seems like that term is used whenever someone in low elo loses a game...
