    And that’s when it becomes kind of dumb, no? e.g.:

    At least it’s not a “remaster”

    This would be the third game in the Baldur’s Gate series. So 3. Just like Mass Effect 3 is named Mass Effect 3. Its the third game. Did you never learn to count?

    Still not sure why this needs to be called Baldur’s Gate 3...

    She’s not wrong. Their investment in Georgia is probably generating an industry that brings in more liberal voters. Pulling out could, speculatively, make the rightward lurch worse. 

    Regardless, it’s not the real king

    You’re the Worst has a similarly cynical attitude (while nonetheless still being romantic).

    Incidentally, Fallout 2 was a direct sequel to Fallout 1, whereas Fallout 3 takes place on the other side of the country, and shoe-horns in elements that make no sense there, e.g. Super Mutants, the Enclave, and Harold. It came off as bad fanfiction.

    I’d rather they just do a spin-off instead of a direct sequel.

    On the one hand, the idea of a D&D5E (presumably) based game with a very heavily interactive environment, like D:OS1/2, is extremely exciting. It could potentially be, gameplay-wise, the best D&D game ever made. That’s assuming they stick with the same basic design of tons and tons of objects in a world, that are

    Sure, if you call “started a studio of their own that was recently bought by Microsoft” dispersed, I guess.

    My reaction to the first letter: is this a joke?

    Ehhh, I’d rather they make Original Sin 3. The story of Baldur’s Gate was definitively concluded, the team behind the franchise has long since dispersed, and anything pretending to be a sequel will be a spiritual sequel at best. It’s like writing Hamlet 2, which only makes sense as a joke.

    Technically, it was never actually a medieval torture device. It was made up in the 19th century.

    Well, the M is different... so is the O and the A...and the M...the N...the E....the D... wait, hold up... oh, my god! The I’s are completely identical! I hope Iron Maiden gets every penny owed...

    Holy crap, actual gameplay! Now we can finally ask the most substantive question possible about Death Stranding: is it fun? 

    Morrowind is more of a hardcore RPG than recent Elder Scrolls games, as it were. It was more about leveling up the right skills than action bona fides. I think increasing the acrobatics skill would lessen the fall damage.

    I think at the time, the jumps generally seem less obvious than when we made the jump from 2D to 3D.. But when you go back and look at a decade-old game, it’s jankier than you remember. Progress is so gradual now that we’re acclimate to it unwittingly. We just don’t have those giant leaps from generation to
