I just checked it out on YouTube, it was in the Tomb Raider reboot from 2013, called the ‘Climbing Axe’.

Oh, I didn’t know RotTR had something similar. I supposed they were both in development at the same time, but if it was in the first Tomb Raider then I’d certainly call it unoriginal. It’s like when Resident Evil 4 and God of War both came out at about the same time with quick time events (it was lauded as a cool feature at the time) but you…[Read more]

To be honest I kind of frowned on them adding that late in the game too. But not just because the game is 75% over already, but because I saw it as a clear attempt to mimic what Square Enix did in Rise of the Tomb Raider(I’m guessing it is also in the first TR but I didn’t play that one yet). It’s basically the same as Laras pickaxe tool, which is…[Read more]

…when you have the camera sideways, Nate all of a sudden doesn’t know in which direction to climb. At times like this, games either have it so pointing in the direction of the wall makes you climb up it, away from a wall makes you climb down it. For Uncharted 4, when you point the analog up the game doesn’t know if you mean you want to climb up…[Read more]

Yeah, 97 was my overall score, and I gave the game a 95 for game play. I think when it comes to giving these games a score I tend to think back to my youth reading classic magazine GamePro. Back then it wasn’t really a matter of what arbitrary number did the game receive but rather was it fun! I view my score as a numerical representation of how…[Read more]

Let’s do Uncharted 4 then. I didn’t get to see your overall score, but you gave it 97 for gameplay and 99 for everything else so I’m guessing you’d give it a 97 or 98/100 overall. I myself gave it an 89/100, just under the 90% threshold. Let’s debate that 8% margin.

I thought the pacing for U4 was all over the place. Sometimes it was really good…[Read more]

See, even that would be a good debate though, as you can usually rationalize what you enjoyed. That’s all that really matters in a debate.

I believe I mentioned this in the Error Reporting section last week, but I am hopefully on the way to getting over my health issues that have plagued me for the past 6 months. I had a severe Vit D deficiency that left me feeling completely drained almost the entire day while also battling insomnia. I’m not entirely over it but I feel a lot better…[Read more]

I always feel like being a negative nancy doesn’t work out in the long run. I try to remain positive while being constructive about the flaws. It’s hard sometimes, but there’s actually a lot you can do with constructive feedback.

On a related note, I’ve always wanted to do a debate with someone who has a differing opinion than me on a game.…[Read more]

I was working on an editorial for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but after writing most of it, was wasn’t happy with it anymore. I don’t want to be known as the guy who has a negative opinion of every beloved upcoming game. I had already said Nintendo was ashamed of Star Fox, I’ve been down on the System Shock remake, and to come out as…[Read more]

Also, I know I am missing a lot of games for PC, I’m really far behind on data entry. So if you need a game added to the database, or have a list/spreadsheet of games to add to the database, let me know and I will get the data sorted out. I’ve had a bunch of help from some really great users on here so far, but the behind the scenes stuff is still…[Read more]

What’s up Thranx! No, we don’t have anyone who specifically covers PC right now. Though even if we did you would be welcome to post as much as you would like. You can post whenever you want, there is no schedule or minimum requirements. There is also no restriction as far as posting about one platform or another. If you see something on…[Read more]

*waves*  Anyone covering PC related news around here?  I may begin contributing… the PC link returned nothing, sadly.

Dig the concept tho.  Like the layout as well.
