What was the first game that had a story that was genuinely captivating to you?

I enjoyed game stories prior to this, but I always say 2012 was the year I really realized the potential of them, after playing the trio of Walking Dead, Far Cry 3, and Spec Ops The Line almost back to back. ...

When it comes to the hardware necessary to play games (ie console, PC), do you think of them as just what they are, or would you either buy or refuse to buy a product even if it means you can’t play a game you wanna play?

Ubisoft Isn't Bad...

How could someone possibly make this claim? 

Ubisoft so obviously sucks! 

From the obscene monetization of every single one of their games to the never ending bugs, and cookie cutter content that's been copy pasted, also, into every single one of their games.
