This is true for Doom but I'm afraid it's simply false for Quake and Quake II. I don't know how to argue further than that - the developers themselves were pretty clear - Quake and Quake II were designed with multiplayer combat in mind much more than they were with single-player campaigns...

Sure, but if that's how it works, how well-selling a game is, we should note that #3 on N64 is like #300 of "all games" if that - it might be much further back given we fairly often see indie games sell several million copies. I mean, if we look at the list of "best selling videogames" on...

In this house, our only faves are problematic!

I had the "delightful" experience of turning my work laptop on a few weeks ago and finding that my documents, downloads, and desktop folders were empty which was, er... terrifying, given how many days of work that would have lost (yes, yes, put it in the document management system I know, but...

Yeah I thought it was, but I didn't want to get overexcited because she hasn't had a good role for a while, and having checked her IMDb didn't see anything. But I see from a Eurogamer article that it is in fact her, so that's really good!

Look, I don't mean to be rude, you seem like a cool guy, but this is just wrong and shows you don't actually know gaming history re: Halo, and instead are just making claims that "feel right" to you, but aren't supported by the facts. Halo wasn't even originally designed as a console FPS! It...

It absolutely was not, and you basically admit that in your post! It's a US Millennial blip. Is this some kind of typo, like you meant to say most households DID NOT have a copy? Because otherwise it's just factually wrong, and a deeply weird false claim to make. The vast majority of...

The YouTube one works for me! Weird. I do think it is effectively a leak, because it's extremely low-quality and not any official sites, and indeed most people who have some of it, don't have the full 2 mins 16 seconds we have here. So good job locating it @trappedslider! I mean that! The...

I suspect it didn't do much harm, because honestly, much of the movie felt like countless WW2-set movies from the 1950s and 1960s that I watched growing up aged like 5-8, including lots of people dying heroically etc. etc. If they were like, 2-5, well, even the original SW films are way too...

"wind up on consoles" is an incredibly creaky load-bearing pillar that looks to be in danger of collapse at any moment there imho lol! But I do agree that's why it had any cultural influence at all. All these people who didn't really play games much growing up but did get an Xbox when they were...

I feel like their choices of inductees have been a bit weird and inconsistent, not to mention deeply US-centric (which is somewhat to be expected). What I do think is genuinely odd is a lot of their entries are kind of what is essentially the same game repeatedly. For example, they inducted...

I think these are all great suggestions except Bioshock. I disagree that's it's a case of "looking back". At the time, I said it was a mediocre-to-bad FPS with amazing visual design and a fancy-but-ultimately-kind-of-stupid plot, but which was a big downgrade gameplay-wise and conceptually from...

That was top of my list too, like when I read the thread title. Certainly the only one to really hit that hard in the last say, 20 years. Incredible movie and that night was one of top movie experiences ever. Before that it'd definitely be HEAT. At 17 that was perhaps the most emotionally...

Sometimes that's the case but often not. About least equally often one person is attempting to make an actual argument, engaging with what the other person is saying, and so on - which is absolutely not "talking past" them, and the other person just... isn't, and is just saying whatever they...

If it was the start of a console generation, and there were thus going to be other exclusives/time exclusives to look forward to, I'd probably sigh and start putting money aside to buy a PS5, but given we're like, 75-85% of the way through this console generation, I'm not feeling the same...

You don't? Super Mario RPG (1996) doesn't ring a bell? That does, and I thought personally that it was fairly well-known. As do all the sequels. Indeed I've seen multiple reviews of Clair Obscur specifically reference Super Mario RPG. You press buttons in a timed way to dodge/parrydefend...

Looks fantastic, but does it look "Buy a PS5 good?" is the question, given it's not coming out on PC at initial release (and there is obviously no point in buying an Xbox Series X/S). And I'm not sure of the answer to that. I guess I have about a year to work it out!

My brother has reached this point in BP, and I'm like "Well I dodged a bullet with that one...". I'm glad people are enjoying it though! I have to admit it would probably have got me if they'd just gone for like, "ancient lost civilization" aesthetics (i.e. exploring ruins and tombs) rather...

No. This is unproven nonsense with no scientific basis. "AI addiction", from a scientific perspective, is an absolute fiction. There are properly-conducted, medically-based studies that actually support it existing, at least that I am aware of. The article author certainly couldn't find any...

I feel like the first point is disingenuous, because the only way it can be argued to be true is that alcohol and gambling are under-regulated when compared to the massive weight of evidence about the very real harms associated with them. But they are still "heavily regulated", as you actually...
