Buddy of mine is a nerd, but not a DC-nerd, and he was unaware as of late last week that Harley came from the Animated Series. It’s still appropriate to point it out.

Mass Effect 2, with the DLC, took no more than 20-30 hours tops to complete literally everything.

*14* buttons, not 8. The four face buttons + four shoulder buttons + click-in 2 thumbsticks + 4 directions on the d-pad.

Tim, this video was just awesome as your 20XX video. I’m the first to complain about the over video-fication of IGN, so I was weary when ZD bought the former-Gawker family. Thanks for making it clear that my concerns were completely unwarranted.  

You the same gent who made the awesome 20XX video?

Loot boxes in Shadow of War have been a total non-issue during my first twenty or so hours of the game. I think it’s possible (likely?) that the number of “Legendary” orcs that show up in-game would be higher but for the fact that you can buy Legendary orcs via loot boxes, but maybe there are more of them on higher…

The fact that we pay less for new games than we did in the SNES days is ridiculous. We paid $80 for Chronor Trigger, folks. It’s well past time for $60 games to cost $70.

I play my PC almost exclusively (I own everything) and *gasp* I actually won’t play a game if it doesn’t have full game pad support, EXCEPT for 4x games.

This is the right take.

I would give up six months of my life, the good part too, sometime in my 30s, for a remake and a sequel to this game.

People who pay attention to gaming news are a drop in the bucket of the general video game market, and those upset enough by the loot boxes/pay to win scheme are an even smaller drop still. The idea that this controversy is going to have any significant impact on the sales numbers for this game is silly.

I think this is more about IGN’s and specifically HR’s response to the incident, than the actual incident itself.

Well, wouldn’t that just be history repeating itself (albeit on a larger scale) w/r/t Greg Miller and Colin Moriarty (and whoever the third guy was) that all left at once? IGN clearly survived that. Also, the writing on IGN is abysmal, so the mass firing of their editorial staff wouldn’t make things worse.

Breath of the Wild was boring and frustrating (partly because of the open world, but mostly because of the terrible narrative, the annoying combat, and equipment break). I’ve played about thirty minutes of Super Mario Odyssey, and I feel pretty much the same. If the way I play through a game doesn’t allow me to play…

Mass Effect 2 is a goddamned masterpiece and ME3 plays like a dream. In view of those two games, ME:A disappoints. This is one instance where Bioware would have been well served by putting out more of the same, and doing it much sooner than it did.

You should immediately retract and delete this story with an apology. Trump is a monster, but it doesn’t help anybody when the press, you know, actually publishes fake news.

Post deleted.

Am I wrong that ALL arcade games in the 80s (even through the 90s?) contained only the ability to enter three characters into high scores, i.e., one’s initials? It really bugged me that the high score on Dig Dug read “madmax,” especially since, if i’m right, it could have just as easily read “max,” and the plot would…

I’ve purchased about 20 games for my Switch, and Steam World Dig 2 is the only one of them I’ve completed, which I did over the course of two consecutive days. It is excellent.

I’ve never been comfortable with mouse and keyboard for gaming and will be playing with a controller (Xbox Elite) on PC.
