Basement Crawl is a Bomberman-like horror game that is rated so poorly on Metacritic, it's not only the worst PS4 game on there, it also has a score that's lower than infamous games like Duke Nukem Forever, Aliens: Colonial Marines, and The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. (Basement Crawl has a score of 27, to be

IT'SA ME! MARIO!

Been on the fence about these, and Razer Surround should work fine for PC Surround Sound goodness.. So, why not?

No Net Neutrality means No Large Gifs.

Still waiting for that shitstorm..

c'mere ellie.

kinja was supposed to fix this. *cries*

They use a really old version of CEF1 ( Chromium Embedded Framework). Sad part is updating CEF would be a trivial matter, would probably only take a day to get everything working and updated.

I have been hoping, wishing, complaining, whining, for Valve to rewrite Steam in Qt for a while now. Steam is currently built on a slow-ass widgets framework that is just terrible. Still, this is just the technical side of the solution.

Steam does indeed need a complete redesign. Everything from the storefront, to the

It does technically run the NT kernel.. So even if its not a PC, it does run Windows in a way, and its on x86_64. So yea.. "not a PC". Suurrre. (gimped PC but nonetheless)

Yes/No/Not Yet is not a score, it's basically meaningless without context. Any numerical score as well, for that matter, is meaningless without context.

Not exactly sure if my last reply posted because GODDAMMIT KINJA, but eh.

You're taking the 'Yes/No/Not Yet' at face value. Just like taking a score at face value. Review scores are useless at face value, there has to be context behind that judgment to be of any use. This isn't a problem with this review system, this

Perhaps some people would take the Yes/No/Not Yet at face value, but those are the same people who take number scores at face value. Taking any judgment of a game at face value without looking at the reasoning is basically useless, it doesn't tell you anything about why or why not you should play a certain game.

This review essentially notes that the game isn't worth buying since the original is superior. It's probably true the all-or-nothing review system does skew perceptions, but if that image with the 'NO' wasn't there, and it was just the review in text, the points would be the same; that it's not worth buying because

I've always preferred Kotaku's review system. Reason being, it forces the reader to actually read the review to get context from the Yes/No/Not Yet at the end, instead of just skipping to the number without context and judging a game by a number, rather than forming your own opinions of a game based off the
