“on the PS5’s chief competition, the Xbox Series X and S. For the most part, you can just...play old games”

yeah he was the primary antagonist of “the guest”. 

what if, and hear me out, they’re not “natural” kids? there must be a twist to this. 

i like how this game is less identifiably medieval european and has its own unique grand fantasy vibe to it. yeah there are some gothic touches here and there but a lot of this feels much more original than the previous games. 

—nevermind, deleted—

this is true of only the consumer electronics industry. not the arts. 

there actually is a 4K cinema standard that isn’t QFHD— it’s DCI 4K, 4096 x 2160 pixels. similar to DCI 2K — 2048 × 1080.

i’d love to see a return to the pre-vegas game style. 

batman and superman are gay though. 

need for speed porsche unleashed is still the best one. they should’ve stopped then and there. 

yep, literally incredible—”impossible to believe”, “not credible”. but still fun. amazing how entertainment works.

oddly enough, the shooting in the latest tomb raider games, rise and shadow especially, is really good. not thematically essential, for sure, but actually quite slickly done. shadow also has absolutely incredible climbing sequences. 

alien isolation came out a year after rome 2. their warhammer games are definitely full games, too

there’s always someone on here just summarizing what we already know. 

how old are you? believe it or not, someone who maybe picked up skyrim when they were a child or teen probably feels the difference between 2011 and 2021 more distinctly than you do. it’s a trick of the brain. for those who picked it up, as i did, in their mid-20's, after the brain’s fully developed, we no longer feel…

...so that’s your takeaway on this article. 

hatchet is definitely a murder hobo

“People unfortunately tend to have a problem of looking for a reason to be offended regardless of intent”

you’re right—but it’s just a bit more odd in this instance, given that gloomhaven was already fairly inclusive in its representations. anyone who picks up the game would get the unmistakable impression that it’s made with some sensitivity towards gender and sexuality, which are also big red flag topics for bigot gamers…

table top board games still have a lot of growing up to do to match genuine role playing games. as it is, gloomhaven is just “ultra chess”. which is great, but it’s almost satirical that the goal of “kill everything” has to be re-stated at the beginning of every mission, a hundred times over.
