As an Englishman, and a scholar.

Ohterwise, it's LOL. 

I still don't get how you can have a single person writing and scoring a game on big sites like IGN. Everyone has different preferences. 

 

Who gives a piece of flying monkey poop? Just don't follow reviews of him if you disagree. Subjective reviews are awesome. 

To the violence debate:

That's the same level of selective and opinionated rubbish like Sarkeesian's though. 

Does it matter that much anymore? With metacritic, it's easier to see a single review relative to everything else. 

You see what you want to see. 

Her cleavage was insignificant though.

I mean, exactly, that's the sad thing about videos like that. 

 

Seems its on sale. Thoughts? Worth ?

I came by to check out some worthy games... 

Sounds interesting, installing it now.

...they want their graphics back. 

I think your memory of Hexen 2 may be a little rose colored. 

I'd say rose tinted, but online it seems coloured (or colored) is more common. 

This is what hexen2 looks like: http://www.quakewiki.net/archives/cronos/hexen02.jpg 

I tried it a bit, but the gameplay felt quite flat. You pretty much just spend your time circle strafing around groups of mobs, and the weapons I used didn't feel very satisfying.
Kind of reminded me stuff Dungeon Defenders or Orcs Must Die, but without the Tower Defense aspect. 

Looks like a Borderlands clone, straight up. Am I wrong? 

I agree with Bal.

The levels were pretty boring too. Art is pretty and high quality, however generic. The geometry is sparse and samey. The game is a rouge-like FPS. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to either very well, or very much... not a whole lot of content or richness in any of its components.

Great basis for a more enriched and focused game, though. Maybe Ziggurat II is where it's at! 

Just like Wolfenstein : The New Order is a Doom clone because they both have 1st person and you shoot stuff. 

I mean a squad of four go rampaging through various wastelands shooting waves of enemies for loot. They use a range of vehicles too and the focus is mainly on online coop. Sounds like Borderlands to me. The GFX in Destiny looks cartoony enough too...... Just saying. 

Ziggurat looks okay, I just hope it has some linearity and doesn't just spawn hordes at you in one room, rinse and repeat, like Painkiller. I don't remember Heretic/Hexen being that lazy. 

It's free, and it's really fun. I'm really getting addicted to it.
