impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic Would you donate to save them from leaving?. on the General Discussion board May 5, 5:02am

I doubt money is the sole issue here. I don't want to speculate, but I've sat in a lot of underpaid jobs because I didn't like the uncertainty of leaving for something unknown.I don't think there's an...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic What is a video game thought you know is probably wrong but refuse to budge on?. on the General Discussion board Apr 22, 7:50pm

The standardisation of control schemes is bad. Games should still pull an MGS3 and make you hold hold two shoulder buttons and a face button to ADS and fire. Modern games limit verbs and methods of in...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic How do you feel about the whole "keep politics out of my escapism" Should games strive for moderate or unpolitical as possible. on the General Discussion board Apr 2, 3:20pm

@giant_gamer: Lol you could not be showing your whole ass more if you tried.'Abortion doesn't affect me, so I don't have an opinion about it' is the statement of somebody who has never been the target...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic Do you think critical consensus or critics will give Six Days in Fallujah a fair shot after the controversy. on the General Discussion board Mar 30, 9:38pm

Buddy if we gave the soldiers who were actually in Fallujah a "fair shake" they would be rotting in a cell.Anyone whose main concern about the war crimes game is that reviewers make sure to tell them ...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic Recommend Games for my GF (extremely specific taste!). on the General Discussion board Mar 21, 9:23pm

Bit out of left-field but I'd recommend Diablo 3. The switch version is pretty good and me and my partner have had an awesome time running through that game with a TV show in the background.It presses...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic Spin-Off Superiority. on the General Discussion board Mar 10, 4:12pm

I firmly believe that Gears of War Judgment is the tightest and best-designed Gears of War game. Gears Tactics is also better than most of the mainline series.

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic What's Need For Speed franchise's future going to be?. on the General Discussion board Mar 1, 10:47pm

@fisk0: I'm gonna say the unpopular thing:They poisoned the well with NFS 2015. I don't think dumb FMV plays anymore, either in an ironic or deliberately unironic sense (ala Most Wanted).I think the m...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic Which games from the 7th-gen console era has the best graphics in your opinion?. on the General Discussion board Feb 28, 5:15am

@gtxforza: Personally I don't love that idea. MGS4 is such a PS3 game. Those loading screens? That mix of high-poly models with relative low-res textures and minimal shading? Mwah, that's videogames i...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic Which games from the 7th-gen console era has the best graphics in your opinion?. on the General Discussion board Feb 27, 8:00pm

Metal Gear Solid 4 looks dope as hell while also being the most 7th gen-ass game in the looks department, so I'm going with that.

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus is not a stealth game but it is a fun platformer. Who knew?. on the Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus board Feb 23, 2:14pm

Sly 2 absolutely rules. Coincidentally, I'm diving back into the Sly games. I honestly find Thievious Raccoonus a bit of a slog - it's a pretty rudimentary level-based platform in the mold of games li...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic 10 years later Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time is a step in the wrong direction after the first two R&CF games.. on the Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time board Feb 15, 4:48pm

@bigsocrates: I agree that Tools felt like a more fleshed-out universe, I just didn't love the tone or the theming as much. A Crack in Time has a much more mystical and evocative tone than Tools' Satu...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic 10 years later Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time is a step in the wrong direction after the first two R&CF games.. on the Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time board Feb 14, 8:02pm

I think I need to revisit this one since I remember thinking A Crack In Time was return to form and potentially an all-timer for the series.It certainly looked and handled great back in the day. Sure ...

Edward Norton's gonna make a great Max Payne 2: The Fall fo Max Payne

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic Schreier says that EA is deciding whether or not to actually try and revive Anthem or let it die. on the Anthem board Feb 11, 5:50am

Reviving Anthem is pure sunk cost fallacy and they're mistakenly thinking the name has any cache with people at this point. If EA is trying (and failing) to figure out how to raise the dead it's becau...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic Will it bum you out if the PS5 doesn't do back compat for PS1, 2, and 3?. on the PlayStation 5 board Oct 5, 9:12pm

Backwards compatibility was done acceptably well on the Xbox One to the point where that should now be the standard by which all new consoles are judged. Of course the priority for me would be my PS4 ...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic I am afraid about the future of the Supreme Court and hence America. on the Off-Topic board Sep 18, 8:53pm

I would highly recommend not putting any faith into the Democratic Party to put up a fight. They had their chance to stack the courts in their favour as the Republicans have done for decades. They bli...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic Good Gaming Channels (Information/Documentation). on the General Discussion board Sep 14, 5:38am

Grimbeard is little known and highly recommended. He covers horror games and PC gaming ephemera. All his videos are impeccably edited and funny as hell. He's really come into his own in the last year ...

impartialgecko posted a message in the forum topic Gamespot doing literal propaganda for the US Army. on the General Discussion board Sep 7, 5:02am

The aggressive push into gaming by the US military, especially on Twitch, would be beyond terrifying and grotesque if not for the fact that they have been trolled viciously at every turn.I think the A...
