God, i know its unrealistic, but within this genre, its always such a drag when games don’t allow you to swap ships without consequence.

Yes, it doesn’t make any sense to be able to sell something for the exact same amount of money as you bought it for, but these types of games are always all about exploring and…

The space combat aspect of this game makes me remember fondly of the Freespace games. They were some of the best space combat sims *ever*, and they have most, if not all, of the practical fight/flight features you listed here. I thank the moist gods above that the modding community has created mods that update the…

If you liked Privateer or Freelancer, you’ll definitely enjoy this game.

The first one had a focus on bigger ships. Looks like this is going with the fighter angle more? I like it! I'll check it out. 

This is the sequel to wing commander privateer the world needed. Sorry Clive Owen.

Yeah, so almost everyone ignores the game’s story in terms of it being ‘their character’, and has that just be the ‘story of the warrior of light’. I think some very very few people play as “knowing” the WoL, but it’s considered bad form to talk about that kind of thing in open RP areas. That’s something you’d usually…

I mean, there’s definitely other characters with the Echo, so that’s easy enough to point to.

If I recall in one of the cutscenes way back when, your character wasn’t the only one who experienced the “meteor rain” thing that those who gain the echo experience.

Varies from group to group. Most I’ve interacted with none of them are. They tend to gravitate more toward slice of life and day to day storylines than the big SAVE THE WORLD stuff.

Hey Heather, I’m really curious. How do the RP communities in FFXIV handle the fact that your character is the Warrior of Light?
Is everyone their own WoL?

I’ve thought about switching to an RP server for FFXIV (I used to RP in SWG way back when, and started WoW 10+ years ago on an RP server), but I think it’d be…

yeah, because that’s the tone of an innocent man

Moronic gamers: “I don’t know what a competitive market looks like.”

Exclusives are a way of creating competition between storefronts. Epic has drawn a line in the sand labeled 12% and now expects Steam to step up if they want games to be drawn back to their storefront. 30% is an INSANE royalty rate and they only got away with it because there wasn’t an alternative. Now there is.

thats not how competition works

Brian, I think this article could use a little explainer about the “part-timer” economic phenomenon in Japan. It’s been a while since I’ve read about it, so I could certainly use a refresher myself. But my inference, since attention is called to the “part-timer” moniker, is that this might be borne of a specific…

I played a lot of Titanfall 2 and I’ll toss out some suggestions off the top of my head. I thiiiink there’s some newer stuff here (or at least stuff I don’t remember or has been slightly changed) so folks can feel free to chime in with their recommendations too.

Assault Rifles - The R201 (I think it’s the 301 here?) is…

... Forza Horizon 4 had dances? 

Did you really think you could burn Schreier with your l33t knowledges? He’s a genuine journalist in a field where there are relatively few.
