Under most other circumstances, I would say that joining the military is an honorable profession; putting your life on the line, spending years in harrowing situations and undergoing grueling training in order to protect innocent civilians is a noble and necessary sacrifice that should never be discounted.
But that’s…
Hah yeah, very true.
Basically. A fundamentally good man in a really shitty situation and having to make some harsh compromises to try and save the world.
Basically. All indications painted Duncan as a good man in a really tough position, forced to make ruthless decisions he didn’t want but felt like there was no other option. When he kills the recruit who tries to back out mentioned in the article, he comes off as remorseful but obligated to protect the Grey Wardens’…
DA2 definitely isn’t as bad as some people make it out to be, it’s certainly got a problem with reusing areas over and over and over (and over) again, but it’s definitely got its upsides. I would honestly say that Inquisition is the worst of the trilogy, which isn’t to say that it’s a bad game, but it’s definitely…
Duncan isn’t an asshole...he’s Your Dad. Follow me on this for a moment. When you first meet him, he seems like this cool, wise old dude who knows everything and can do everything and you idolize him, but then he does some really ruthless, sketchy stuff and also DIES by the end of the tutorial so you start to have…
My sense of morality follows two fairly simple rules:
It’s not just some visual customization either, this is also where they start to introduce dialogue options and morality choices. “You thought we were just a Diablo-in-space looter-shooter, but guess what, we’re Mass Effect now.”
Buckle up, Nathan, cause the mind-blowing reveals are just. getting. STARTED.
Just focus on unlocking more parts of the map for now. Don’t worry about what you “should” be doing, just progress through the map and open up access to all the locations. What will naturally happen is you’ll be steadily introduced to new mechanics as you go through the Junctions which gate off each planet: each…
I certainly didn’t romance Solas, but I was about as close to a friend to him as you could get: lore/philosophy nerd that I am, I chatted him up and stayed open-minded at every opportunity. After taking that approach, it’s kind of hilarious how remorseful and even embarrassed he is when you confront him at the end of…
I’m just gonna leave this here, in case anyone thinks promoting far-right conspiracy theories is harmless or just an overreaction by the media.
Digital Extremes clearly wants to smooth things out, to remove the barriers between Warframe’s many activities, but that’s the hard part of a never-ending game, isn’t it? It’s a work in progress.
I wasn’t super hot on Origins, it just felt like filler while we waited for Arkham Knight, but this has me interested; a game with a greater focus on the Bat Family is certainly new ground, and I’m super down for a co-op Arkham-style Batman game.
Yyyyyyikes. I’m sure they’ve got their reasons, but this is such a terrible move, it’s the jump from D1 to D2 and losing a ton of content all over again. At least this time they’re not charging you $60 to get your MMO reset...
Really wish my old Destiny friends had listened to me when I suggested they switch over to…
I would be...hesitant to call this pre-alpha gameplay, as it seems heavily scripted and throwing around a ton of different mechanics and feels more “proof of concept” than anything resembling the final product, like a short film with a UI. Does it look good? Absolutely. But I’ve seen a lot of “fake gameplay” video ads…
I mean, there’s a difference between an attempt that wasn’t perfect and an attempt that was counter-productive. This was definitely the latter, but a learning experience at least.
It’s unfortunately not hard to cross the line between inclusive and patronizing, where you try to cast the target audience in a positive light but do so by reinforcing the exact same stereotypes that excluded them in the first place, for example the Magical Negro trope in media. This article definitely falls into the…
I’ve lived alone for close to 4 years and, after living with my parents for most of my life and then living with my older sister and her family for 4 years, I can definitely say that I’m happier than I’ve ever been before. Being able to keep my own schedule, decorate and arrange as I please and have total control over…
