    Portal 2 (discussion and co-op hook up)

    Portal 2 was a game released in 2011 by Valve set in the Half-Life universe but exploring Black Mesa's competitor company Aperture Science. It continued the wormhole based puzzle game story from Portal 1 with you once again taking the form of Chell. I didn't really create this thread to...

    Earth Defense Force games thread.

    I decided to make a EDF mega thread because it seems that SV doesn't have one. EDF is a game series that started back in the 2000s. It has the players fighting against giant insects and robots with a arsenal of weapons that would make Cable feel inadequate, and has a fully destructible...

    The pressure to constantly update games is pushing the industry to a breaking point | PC Gamer When you combine unreasonable gamer expectations, unreasonable corporate expectations, and unreasonable self-evaluations of the developer's ability to deliver content, you get, well, this. I think...

    Accessibility in Games

    So I have mentioned once or twice I am legally blind - no vision at all in my right eye and very bad vision in my left - but it's not something I like to bring up. I consider it an unimportant part of who I am and not worth discussing much. But in a discussion on QTE's elsewhere, somebody did...

    Why do Videogame Adaptations suck so much?

    Discussion 
    It appears that Detective Pikachu may be the first videogame movie to achieve fresh status according to rotten tomatoes among critics, though a few others (Warcraft, Rampage, Resident Evil, Silent Hill) did so with audiences. Its also rare for them to be box office successes either. But why...

    Sword and Shield: Not just a Ghost/Steel type anymore (Pokémon Gen 8)

    I'd give a summary, but there isn't much to summarize here. New region (the Galar region), new trio of starters, and a vague release date (late 2019; I'm guessing sometime in November due to the last couple releases). Also, they're going to be on the Switch, but that went without saying.

    PC Gamer The Verge So last year Warner Bros advertised for a writer with "a deep understanding of British culture", for a new game they were working on. Well, if supposedly leaked footage is to be believed, that game is a new Harry Potter title set in the 1800s. Supposedly, the player will...

    Old games you feel have aged poorly?

    Well, in a world where retro gaming, emulators, indie games inspired by old games and stores like GOG are a thing, it's clear that games of the past haven't been forgotten, with many people still saying that old games were better or putting some old games as their favorite games ever. Yet...

    What if Video Games had been marketed to girls since the 1980s?

    What if? Idea Post-1900 
    So I was reading this thread on alternate history and was interested in its implications: DBWI: Video games were more heavily marketed for boys. In this case the thread is about an insider considering "alternate history" possibilities of their world. But it had me thinking. We known that video...
