Having a console that requires you to always be online sounds like a massive own goal in my opinion. As does the excessive DRM which bars people from playing used games on their console. I think it should all be taken with a grain of salt though. So far there are no official sources on any of...

I got my arse handed to me the first few times I fought her, but once I had her figured out, she wasn't too difficult. Seymour Flux was in my opinion by far the hardest boss in my opinion. I got wiped out by total annihilation so many times I am genuinely surprised my controller survived my rage.

I much prefer being evil. Like most people, I try to be a nice guy in real life, and real life generally offers plenty of opportunities to do good. Gaming to me is about escapism though, so if a game offers me the chance to cast all morals aside and go in guns blazing without a care in the world...

I lived for 2 years in Australia without going back to Denmark as much as once. During that time I didn't have much opportunity to socialise with my friends, but at every chance we got, we all got on Skype, logged onto World of Warcraft and quested for hours and hours. Being in Australia, a...

Right now it is Shameless (US version). I love how absurdly funny it is while stile offering up some quality drama every now and then. And of course Game of Thrones just started again, so that is up there too. I am also rewatching Rome for Mars knows which time. That show will never get old to...

I disagree entirely. Big budget games are about the same quality they have always been in my opinion. There's a lot of rubbish and a few treasures. What really sets today's games apart from those of yester year, is the indie scene. due to digital distribution, there is so much interesting stuff...

HeroQuest on the PC at a friend's place some time in the mid 90's. The game that really got the ball rolling for me though, was Final Fantasy VIII.

I'm not really hooked on the Steam Box personally. I don't really see how it is any different from just taking my PC, plugging it into my TV, buying some controllers for it, and turn on Steam Big Picture. And I already did all that :P People who are already PC gamers, probably aren't the target...

There's a free multiplayer version of this called The Banner Saga: Factions out on Steam right now. I only played a few games (won 1, lost 2), but so far it seems pretty sweet. I enjoy the art style a lot and the gameplay is very easy to get into and at the same time allows for a lot of strategy...

No, I would never say that. Personally, I have to admit that I don't think consoles are worth it, but value is a subjective thing and one man's trash is another man's treasure. My point was that contrary to common misconception, you don't need to moonlight as a prostitute, sell your kids, or...

When people see a new piece of hardware, how much bang you get for your buck, is a totally reasonable point of discussion. The PC is a good bench mark for comparison because you can actually go out, find the exact components you want and an exact price. pcgamer.com tried to see how much it...

I actually think there is a lot of good stuff on the PC that JRPG fans might like. Stuff like "To the Moon" and "Cthulu Saves The World" and "Bastion". Neither are actual JRPG's, but I think all of them come a lot closer to what I really liked about JRPGs in the first place than any of the...

Neither. It is safe to say that I have bought my last console :) I started out as a console gamer because of the convenience it offered at the time compared to PC gaming, but consoles seem to become more complicated and convoluted with every generation. With this current generation of...

5 generation. It coincided with what for me was the glory years of Final Fantasy with FF VII to IX and Tactics, Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot, the 2 first Gran Turismo games, Tekken, etc, etc. Plus, my original Playstation from 1998 still works to this day long after my PS2 gave up :P

Hardware seems a little bit underwhelming. For a very reasonable amount of money, you could get a PC with similar specs, stick it next to your TV, turn Steam Big Picture, and have "Next Gen" console gaming today :lew: . I see some in this thread calling it a real powerhouse, and while it...

I have also signed up for the beta and I am VERY excited about this game. There are a lot of people hating on this game, but I am pretty excited about the prospect of exploring Tamriel with my friends. Naturally not all TES elements will translate equally well into an MMO, but I am still hoping...

Wizard of the Coast are a big company who has to think about the bottom line. To my knowledge, they haven't released anything Planescape related in a long time, so maybe they are reluctant to license something and ultimately spark interest in something they no longer see as a money maker for...

Have you thought about going for a PC instead? There really is a lot of fun to be had there RPG-wise, and especially a lot of indie developers are doing some really off beat and innovative things with the genre. If you have your heart set on a console though, I would play the waiting game if I...

See? It's good that we have a place like this so that I don't make a complete arse out of myself :wacky: Thanks to everyone who has posted words of advice. It's all been duly noted. And keep it coming haha :)

Mostly for the ladies anyway, but if any gentlemen want to weigh in, I won't stop you :) I have been in a long term relationship with the same girl for pretty much my entire adult life (it ended almost a year ago though) and I have recently started seeing someone new. We went on our first date...
