bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Platform definitions on Giant Bomb make NO SENSE. on the Wiki board Apr 12, 5:47am

I don't disagree with you, but as for why it is the way it is it's an artifact of the time the website was created. It was during the early 360/PS3/Wii era when XBLA, PSN, and Wiiware were really co...

bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic What game genre do you wish would end personally?. on the General Discussion board Apr 2, 10:14am

@tartyron: But that Pyre tho.I can't imagine wanting any genre to end unless it was actively harmful to people. So I guess rape simulators, which contribute to misogyny and a culture of violence again...

bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Countdown to Shut Down: Last Minute Recommendations Before the Wii U/3DS eShop Closes. on the General Discussion board Mar 28, 3:36am

@broshmosh: At least for now, yes. Nintendo is allowing you to redownload stuff. Personally I never had a Wii U and I kind of hated the 3DS as a device (I generally don't like hand-helds, though the 3...

Look, I'm not going to bash you or anything, but the thing is...it doesn't have to be this big dramatic thing. You can stop listening for awhile, see how that feels, drop back in to check out from t...

@linkarterius: The original difference was between JRPGs and CRPGs (computer RPGs, which later became Western RPGs as they started appearing on consoles)The major differences were that JRPGs focused o...

@grayfox666,: basically any talk from game journalists from 2000 to 2015 and you will see if not blatant racism but complete disregard to any game that was from Japan.What? I can name dozens of games ...

bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Great Games You Think People Forgot About. on the General Discussion board Feb 19, 11:06am

@zombiepie: Mark of Kri is on PSN so it's easy to put your nostalgia to the test. So is the sequel Rise of the Kasai, which is even more obscure though maybe not great. I see where the Arkham compari...

@cornfed40: Your answer will always be Ghost Trick even though they announced a remaster? Kind of hard to argue that a game is forgotten when it's getting a remaster, which got prominent placement dur...

I finished Horizon Forbidden West and it's just like [redacted] Spoilers inside.

Mass Effect 2. Holy shit was this game basically Mass Effect 2. From its focus on recruiting and preparing a team for a final rush against a big bad enemy, to the aesthetics of the Zeniths to its fina...

I'm so very tired of games still limiting saves the way they do.

When it comes to video games I'm a frequent saver. I grew up in a time where autosaving was far from the norm, and playing my share of dastardly early PC games that were more than happy to kill you ou...

bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Favourite odd gaming idea that had a good run but went away?. on the General Discussion board Feb 11, 9:54am

@drgonzo456: I think you can argue there is a version of this in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. You get characters called "blades" in that game and they build trust with your other characters as you use the...

@judaspete: How have offline multiplayer games gone away? There are literally TONS of local multiplayer games coming out constantly. I don't understand this one at all, except that one particular ga...
