Meh, they kill one and two more will pop up. Read more

Good. It’s an illegal operation and he should be held account. People can do all the mental gymnastics they want to try to defend their piracy but at the end of the day it is theft digital or otherwise, still the same thing. Read more

As someone who has torrented games in the past I can say that it’s not really viable the way games are today. Even some of the most polished or big named games require a patch or two to correct bugs even after launch. Also with steam refunds in place and with titles tipping the download scales at +50gb why waste time Read more

Sony knows that if they allow cross platform multiplayer their sales would go down. People tempted to buy a PS4 just to play with their friends wouldn’t be forced to actually buy a PS4 anymore. Being the PS4 the top selling console at the moment I bet this happens quite often. Pair that with a clever price drop on Read more

Really? Cause I remember the FF14 devs saying the reason the game isn’t on Xbox One was because Microsoft was unwilling to share servers with PS4 Read more

Sony has been doing it for years, and when Microsoft wants to finally get into cross platform gaming, they’re seen as the one true pioneer spreading the gospel. Read more

At least the devs responded compared to NRS where they completely ignored the complaints from PC owners of MKX Read more

By the time it’s actually released, almost nobody will care. They’ve done a really poor job with their console versions. My girlfriend bought the game on her Xbone because she enjoyed it on my PC, and couldn’t even get into a game with other players because of the matchmaking issues. Now she doesn’t even care because Read more

Speedrunners need to find an exploit using the enigma that is the poise stat. Read more

This is the best combination of Terry Crews and video games since Super Spice Bros.

Watched this when he first released it, put a smile on my face. He’s just a really nice dude. Read more

It’s just like regular betting. You put a item in a pot, as do others, a spinner is spun, and whoever wins gets the entire pot. Read more

Basically, you see a very rare gun from Counter Strike and you and others bet from the lowest price until no one bets from one person and when the person wins, they go to the betting site’s account to trade it. Read more

People put weapons skins on the line, which get put into a giant pot. A roulette is then spun, and whoever it lands on gets the whole pot. The skins vary in price that they can be sold for, so these pots usually contain some very valuable skins, some of which can go for over $100-$200 Read more

You gamble and bet on games using CSgo’s equivalent of TF2 hats: the stuff has cash value and the gambling has been quietly funded and loudly advertised by popular csgo streamers Read more

Can anyone explain in one sentence what this counterstrike gambling thing is and how it works? Read more

Its funny its getting this praise now days as being underrated. I played it a ton when it came out but never really liked it. It had so many problems that I (unlike many apparently) actually felt were fixed with Resident Evil 6. That isn’t to say Resident Evil 6 is a good Resident Evil game. But I feel it is a way Read more

Resident Evil 5 is my brother and I’s go-to co-op game; we both picked it up for the PS4 this time around, and I can’t wait.

We decided to change things up a bit, this time we’re turning on friendly-fire, starting on Veteran difficulty, and my brother is going to try playing with RE4's control scheme since he’s finally Read more

Perfectly fine game. Great co-op experience. It just didn’t have the luxury of being the game changer that RE4 was. If 4 hadn’t come out, this would be the game that got all the praise and accolades for revitalizing Resident Evil. Read more

Nice. I really enjoyed the first game, despite how brief it was. Read more
