If the gameplay is open-ended, i.e. it’s an RPG with the possibility of using stealth or dialog instead of combat, I play on the hardest difficulty (and I generally wish there was a harder one available) because it makes those alternate options feel more worthwhile.

“Went back to JC3 after it *just because* I knew a lot of people liked it”

It’s my estimation every person that ever got a website named after them was one kind of sumbitch or another.

It’s because we are a diurnal species, we are afraid of the dark.

Well what about that time the Millenium Falcon landed in a cave inside an asteroid and everyone just got out and started walking around in their regular clothes, with just some breathing apparatus strapped to their faces?

It is all made on ps4, nothing is imported. You sculpt by waving the DS4 or Moves around.  Also there are no polygons.

I love that “romance” is a verb, but only in the context of Bioware RPGs.
