Personally, I love Lucio, but play him based on level rather than hero. Since he does best when there’s a nice bottomless pit nearby, and the level encourages your team to stay together.

Don’t agree with some of this, particularly the bits about what Reaper counters. He’d be the my go-to for disposing of a sniper, but for Junkrat? No. You don’t want to use a close range character against someone who drops explosives on himself, and when he dies. Similarly, Reaper is excellent against Reinhardt, since…

I liked Wild Arms 3, while I don’t feel its as severely underrated as Wild Arms 2, it was a good game, and has held up better than I’d have thought. The fourth entry is where I feel the series really cratered. I have trouble even comparing it and five with the prior games.

I’ve got to be honest, this list makes me somewhat dubious. Not only is it all over the place is regards to console and era, but some seem to belong in the general category, while others are either so popular that I’m confused they were included (Wild Arms), or just weren’t all that good even when they launched. I…

I'm a fan of bacon jerky myself, healthy, calorie dense, and slow digesting. Other than that, I do tend to keep fruit around for marathon gaming sessions, and I agree with him on water.

Game: Diablo 3

I genuinely don't know what I think of this article, it's bemusing. On the one hand, resolution is important to graphical fidelity, but on the other... 1080p as a new buzzword? Its been a huge deal for a decade now, and if anything you're less likely to run into it these days. I mostly see interest heading towards…

So far, trying and failing to play ArcheAge. First due to the abomination of HackShield, then due to stuttering that I can't pin down to anything obvious after twenty hours of troubleshooting. It's ironic, the game has little in the way of minor issues like falling through the world, but it appears riddled with more…

Amusingly, lying down is supposedly much healthier than our normal sitting position. This reminds me that I really need a new chair. Unfortunately, finding a gaming chair that lies down at an angle is difficult. They all seem to be rocking chairs and the like rather than armchair hybrids.

To be entirely honest, while I hold some fondness for FFVI, I also hold a far more specific and intense dislike. Kefka. Perhaps my favorite example of villain design gone wrong, or even character design in general gone wrong. A villain who I actually dislike design wise more than Luca Blight (yet another area I know…

Interesting question, and I suppose it goes back a long ways to answer the first part. When I was a toddler, my parents got me an NES. I do not know why, but it caught on with me like nothing else had, to such an extent in fact that they used a game genie to bribe me to stop sucking my thumb. A few years later I'd…

I honestly have to recommend against buying (or leaving on this list) that monitor. While the TN panel is an understandable trade off given the pricing, a 30Hz refresh rate is simply too low to be practical for gaming.

Agreed. I clicked this figuring it'd at least have something mildly impressive like long hair without clipping, but not only is it lacking anything unusual, buton the whole it actually appears less detailed than most modern MMOs, not more. At a guess, perhaps a great many people who don't normally play games with in…

I'm unsure how others feel, but to me Tri-Ace has been in a downward spiral in recent years. Its gone from a company where I'll even play stuff that never got released in the US, to a company that I habitually expect to be unimpressed by. To be fair, Resonance of Fate was good, not great, but good. Infinite…

The last numbered Tekken game I remember playing is 3, and this still seems familiar. I'm not sure if that's a comment on the genre's narrative standards, or the generic nature of this trailer.

I did grow up with it Jason, but honestly it never struck me like that either. Possibly it's because a lot of people entered the genre with it? I don't know, but for my part I find Chrono Cross to be the better game by far. This isn't to say that I think Chrono Trigger is bad, I'd actually agree it's a great game that…

Seriously, hats off to you for this. Waiting on Republic of Thieves was a terrifying experience, with all those delays.

To elaborate on what another respondent said, GOG desperately needs to expand their catalogue outside their original niche. I monitored their site multiple times a day during the sale, but honestly most of the available material is either stuff I already own, or stuff I'm not interested in. While I respect the work…

I suppose Psychological really needs no explanation, although it's a particular favorite of mine that lacks any kind of real coherence as a genre in the west (although it comes somewhat closer in literature I suppose).

Well, this got out of control quickly. Regardless, in my opinion this E3 could be summarized as a return to status quo. Or to turn around something Phil Spencer said, gamers lost E3. The previous E3 was something we hadn't seen in years, it wasn't just a series of expected announcements and footage for games we'd…
