Yeah, I view the sub-scores as a reinforcement of the overall score, but they are not mandatory. The overall score is only required because we take an average of that score and apply it to the game on the game specific page, otherwise that probably wouldn’t be required either. I do feel it is important though, if a game averages 75 but has a lot…[Read more]

I’d prefer we tried to keep them to 1920×1080, but truthfully as long as they’re 16:9 it should be fine. The ratio is the most important part of it, since the whole site design is based around a consistent ratio. 1600×900 and 1280×720 are the smallest sizes that can be uploaded in my opinion. While the smaller sizes aren’t an issue right now, my…[Read more]

Not weird at all. That’s basically how I try to write my own reviews. I can understand the argument against having a score, but considering elhebers point about the reviews not always matching the final score, I think having both options is good. It lets others use the standard they prefer to gauge their own interest in a game, while also…[Read more]

Hah, hopefully there’ll be many more to come. The more people posting, the faster this place will take off. Once that happens, we can start trying to make some money, have the site pay for itself, and maybe even have enough left over to reinvest some of that back into you guys via free games or pledges on patreon.

I’m not sure what would cause you to not be able to edit the post, doesn’t look like a permissions issue so I’ll have to research it this week if I have time.
As for images uploaded, for now we can upload them here and we’ll see how that goes, please keep the images limited to 1920×1080 though. That image on the blog post took forever to load.

I think nitpicking is an easy trap to fall into when you simply do not enjoy something. The more a game fails to meet your expectations, the more you search for a reason why.
Now, I respect that Craig found the game Life is Strange to be cringe worthy. I don’t expect us to always agree on these games. This is the exact reason why I specifically…[Read more]

Yeah, he wasn’t very happy how they insinuated that Nate would die, or someone close to him.
When Nate and Elena fell after the exploding mummies, and Elena played dead, I thought that was the moment. I was just waiting for something bad to happen.
But I was glad it didn’t. The hint that something bad would happen created some extra tension. It…[Read more]

Yeah, I think I touched on the controls of the previous games in my review a bit. I really felt that Uncharted 3 was very loose, very imprecise. I noticed how Naughty Dog had tightened up the controls on Uncharted 4 right away. I’ll be honest though, I don’t think that I ever had the camera fully rotated to one side or the other, you really don’t…[Read more]

I wasn’t feeling good after work today so I came home and went to bed. I’ll try to take care of this early in the morning, comments will be re-enable on mobile until we have a need to use a button to load the comments.

I had intentionally disabled them on mobile with intent to add a ‘Load Comments’ button. I’ll add the button tomorrow when I have a free moment.

It reminds me of the healer class in The Division, one of the upgrades lets you shoot your healing aoe at another player or heal yourself. Added bonus of being a sniper is a plus for this though, I love sniping, […]

Spent some time tonight cleaning up the site on mobile devices a bit more. The mobile menu should work better for most. I also cleaned up the top nav so that the link to the dash area is visible on mobile as well. Non-featured news is now back on the homepage on mobile devices as well, this area was a trouble area on mobile for a while. Top…[Read more]

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

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]

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]

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]
