    Do you have to complete a game 100%?

    I used to platinum every game I could (or at least try..) but then I realized that it was actually hampering my enjoyment of the game. I ended up playing with the intention of getting the platinum, instead of trying to immerse myself in the game. I would reset if I missed a trophy, or find all...

    How often do you preorder games?

    I try not to pre-order games anymore, as I don't want to support the shady practices that come with it. To me, when you pre-order you are basically telling the developer that they don't have to release a good game, and that they can include day 1 DLC with no repercussions. Personally I wait for...

    What 'Type' of OS do you use?

    Currently, I am dual-booting between Windows 10 and Ubuntu. Generally I use Windows 10 more often, as I can play way more games on it compared to Ubuntu. For everything else, Ubuntu is way better to me. Windows 10 just annoys me because it feels like Microsoft is pushing their agenda of making...

    What is your favorite Legend of Zelda game?

    I can say that three of the games are definitely my favourite, but past that I don't know if I could rank them. Those games being Breath of the Wild, Ocarina of Time, and A Link to The Past. Those three games in my opinion just perfect the series in their own way. Breath of the wild truly feels...

    Xbox One or Play Station 4?

    Personally I would go with PS4, but that's just me. What I would do if I were you is look at a list of the best exclusives on each console, as the biggest difference between the two is the console exclusive games for each machine. PS4 has games like Bloodborne, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Uncharted...

    Indie games aren't all they're made out to be

    10 years ago, anyone wanting to enter the game industry would have to have an entire team behind them. But now, as can be seen by the countless shitty Kickstarter campaigns, anyone living in their parents basement can make a game. Is this really good for the gaming industry or is quantity...

    How did you start playing games?

    I began playing as a small child, as my family would sit around the tv and play the old Super Nintendo. Super Mario 1 and 3, Super Mario Word, Donkey Kong Country etc. were all classics that I spent many hours playing. From there I think we got a Gamecube, and I play Mario sunshine, and Kirby's...

    When did you last upgrade your PC hardware?

    Well last time I upgraded was when I actually bought my computer back in 2012, to replace my dying laptop. If I had more money, I would probably upgrade every 3 years maybe? But alas, I usually end up waiting until my PC starts to bottleneck quite hard with one of the parts. At the moment, that...

    Keep Minecraft Interesting

    The first thing I do when I begin to lose interest is I start playing mod packs. Something like skyfactory etc. is amazing as it just adds so much content to your game, that it almost feels like playing Minecraft for the first time again. Be warned, however, you will definitely need to read some...

    Minecraft best on what console?

    Well I think its pretty obvious that the definitive platform is PC, as it always has been. Not only does the game run graphically the best (depending on your machine's specs of course), but it is always at the forefront of development. This is because the main Minecraft team work to give weekly...

    NES Classic Hype- Where did it go?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the issue isn't a matter of hype dying, rather Nintendo just stopped making them. From what I know, they were only supposed to be a limited run item, but made way less of them then people expected. In my area, they sold out with in days of putting them up...

    What's your opinion of "Freemium" Mobile Games?

    With Freemium games, I go into them reminding myself that the experience isn't going to be the same as a full payed game. So essentially I put my hopes down, and most of the time I am happy with the experience I get, as I'm not expecting something amazing. I just see it as a small timewaster for...

    The next big thing? Or are MMO's dying?

    Recently I've been looking around for a new online experience to play, and I haven't found anything that really holds my interest. From my point of view, it seems like the only huge and growing MMO's are either in their later stages (WoW, GW2, FFXIV) or are grindfests (Black Desert online...

    Nintendo Switch - is it worth it?

    You guys seem skeptical, but the sales are showing it to be quite a strong console already, without even going through the Christmas season yet and without a Mario game yet. This article by IGN shows really strong sales so far with only 4 major first party titles. The console is a little...

    Hearthstone p2w yes or no?

    It is a free game with a competitive aspect, so you do have to consider how they would make their money other than P2W. So, yeah I definitely think it is. If you want to make a random deck with the cards you have, go ahead, but ultimately you will get destroyed by the current meta decks that...

    PS4 What are your thought on the PS4 Pro?

    I am kind of on the fence about it. If I had more disposable income, I would definitely consider getting it, just because I think it would be a good long term investment. Looking at it price wise personally I actually think its quite reasonable, as getting a gaming PC that could run 4K at that...

    Can you believe the Xbox 360 outsold the Wii U?

    That honestly seems very believable to me, as the Wii U was just a concoction of failure on Nintendo's part. As SeanP said, the marketing was just so terrible. It was like they didn't even try to differentiate from the Wii. I can't tell you how many non-gamer friends and family though it was...
