It’s funny...personally, I can’t think of any major gaming disappointments in 2015. Overall, I’ve actually found it to be quite the satisfying year.

I once made it a point to see how quickly I could beat him if I maxed out everyone and everything. The answer was 1 turn... I quad summoned KotR, quad cast Ultima, then for the final blow hit him with Cloud’s omnislash limit break. This was the same party I beat all the weapons with.

Yeah it was. I remember how frustrating he could be to fight. Eventually I began to just expect his trick and would preemptively heal, even if I felt I didn’t need it, because I knew he’d toss out another Supernova the minute I became complacent.

Monster is good if you are looking for another thriller, though it there is no supernatural element and I personally think that it is a little too long.

I think they should make it mandatory viewing freshman year in highschool.

My issue is that, visually, it looks like the movie can’t decide what it wants to be. You’ve got the cartoonish, beefy Orcs, and the normal looking humans. Whereas in the games, they’ve both been almost equally cartoonishly beefy. It’s not a knock on the quality of the visual effects, because I think if they just made…

This is definitely a reference to the old April Fools joke of the 2 headed ogre race in WoW. They 2 players would share a character, and it sounded so cool before I found out it was April First. I’m excited to try this out, could be disastrous.

My step dad was excommunicated for sexually abusing me. The idea that my lesbian daughter could get the same punishment enrages me.

Brilliant... But still entirely unreadable.

At the end of the Ghost Dimension when they showed Toby’s feet someone in the theatre yelled out

“It turns out, that during the sengoku jidai, the only people you could actually trust were the ninjas.”

Totally understand, I had struggles like that when I was reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Believe it or not, a selection of Samurai Warriors series games do a similar job of streamlining the history without bastardizing it (either Chronicles on the 3DS, 4’s history mode) and help immersion with some of the…

Extra History is just a side series of Extra Credits, a gaming centric series aimed mostly at beginning developers. Great stuff if you ever get the chance to dig into their backlog.

I’ve been on the fence about Nuclear Throne ever since it hit early access. I’d heard it was awesome, but the art looked bland, and the gameplay videos did nothing for me.

When I was reading this sentence (that it’s a “riff on the traditional Star Wars opening text”) I was totally expecting the whole thing to to just be YRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNH!

Well it’s always easier to make a drawing/illustration look good within it’s own “realm” of rules and stylistic design choices.

Whereas blending cg and reality is a whole different ball game! Make things look real is incredibly difficult and time consuming. Something as little as a slightly “off” movement can make a CG…

Afaik it comes down to funding. Something I read frequently on the internet (so yea, not really confirm-able) film is treated like an ugly stepchild compared to what a tv-show might get.
