This. Even on hard, so far, DA:I has gameplay that feels like it plays itself, but there sure is a lot of it so...
GOTY 2014!!!!!

The main thing for me on whether or not I enjoy tedious/long/grinding game is if the core gameplay is actually fun. Because in open-world games you're exploring, doing side-quests, and messing around mainly to level up, upgrade your equipment, and generally become better capable of succeeding at the core gamplay…

12:44 not much has changed 20 years later.

Did you get to see Mike Ehrmantraut? He's been in Belize since he had to leave Albuquerque.

$60 is a little surprising but I'll probably pay that day one since Canvas Curse was really good and unique and this looks to be a more robust offering.

This. Only Smash can make me hate the protagonist from my favorite game ever. That said, if I encounter a Ness-only PK Thunder spammer, my goal is to troll them with Villager or Dr. Mario and throw that PK Thunder back at them. I don't even care about winning, I just want to annoy them.

So glad to see both Velocity 2X and Guacamelee: STCE on there. Those games are borderline perfection and don't get nearly enough attention. I feel like I should mention that I got both of them for free thanks to PS Plus and XBL Gold.

Ever since the announcement of the Wii U, we've been wondering what it would look like when Nintendo got their feet under them and started to find their stride. Turns out, it looked a lot like their presence at this year's E3. Nintendo showed up cool and confident. They debuted a bunch of interesting new games, from…

I think Sunset Overdrive should be added to the list. Reading previews and watching gameplay sounded like it would be a fun little distraction but actually playing it is some serious gaming magic.

I have one. It's nice but only really worth it if you get up when it's still very dark out. Seems pretty obvious but I was surprised the brightness level I had to set it to wake me up at 6:30 AM. Still, assuming it lasts me a very long time, it's worth it over using my phone as an alarm. Even the actual alarm…

Yeah, that's what I figured. At $30 for 2 years I may as well try it. Thanks for the clarification.

In related news, Maddox is still going strong.

As a 29 year old games enthusiast, there's plenty I want to comment on about this article, but I'll just say, "thank you" Patricia, this was a fantastic piece of writing.

It's also the sort of following that makes it easy to see why people would make so much fun of him. As I argued in my piece about the Kim Kardashian: Hollywood game which is also popular with young girls, society loves to tell teen girls that their interests are stupid, vapid, and not worthy of respect. It's not just…

How about still no word on Last Guardian or HL3?

We were all excited for Titanfall. Turns out, we had good reason to be—the game came out, and it was a hell of a lot of fun. We played the heck out of it for a few weeks, and had a blast. And then… well, we kinda just stopped playing. Based on a poll we did a little while back, a lot of you did, too. The game had a…

I'd say maybe 80% of matches have zero lag for me, and when it does happen it can come outta nowhere, like the game will come to a crawl for 30 seconds and then speed right back up.

Yo, Sub, add me on WiiU. I'm MyUsernameWontFi. I wanna creep your Miiverse posts.

The only time I don't do it is when a Ness-only player is spamming PK thunder and they self destruct. Then I'll select Ness the next round and kill myself, just to rub it in.

The other way to communicate is to quickly create a new Player Name in the lobby before the next match. I have "GoodGame" and "CoachZ" because…
