Jason, I think something you guys should report on is that most of the advertised content for this DLC is behind Eververse (aka the gamble boxes). Ships, sparrows, emotes, ghost shells, armor, and weapon ornaments aren’t earned through the story or challenges, only through bright engrams.

Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words, advice, and time.

I recently came to terms with the fact that I have a gambling addiction as well, and it’s something I’ve just ignored that ultimately caused other issues in my life. Huge post inc.

Thank you so much for collecting this information and reporting on it. For months Bungie ignored player posts about inconsistent exp but issued a fix just a few hours after stories broke about it. They don’t care about players. Bad press, however, motivates them.

An update - Bungie DOUBLED the amount of EXP required for bright engrams without telling anyone. This has resulted in an overall nerf. Please keep on them, they only changed when gaming outlets picked the story up.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. While playing, you’ll find food items that are expired or rotten (such as rotten meat dropping from zombies). If you eat it, you’ll take damage. BUT, if you have the soul of a flesh golem (described as “loves to eat the strangest things”) your character can stomach rotten meat, spoiled…

If you don’t enjoy the message a game is putting forward, you don’t play it. Also, games are an art medium. Sometimes, they go places that are uncomfortable because there’s an idea they want to explore. Imagine trying to defend a game like Homefront or Spec Ops. Imagine any kind of game that paints our military in a…

Although I would now consider purchasing this game, the idea that they will come back at some point still sours me on it. I have an issue with loot boxes so I actively avoid any game that incorporates them as an alternative to actual progression. I would rather microtransactions did not come back, and that they either…

No joke, this stuff is manipulative. Fortnite has something similar in PvE where their characters come in anywhere from 1-4 rarity tiers (depending on the character, some only have 2), all of them constrained to loot boxes. Higher rarities unlock more skills and have better stat scaling, meaning everything they do is…

If that’s his mouth...how is he holding his pipe?

For a while I was stuck deciding between this and the Xbox One Elite. After reading customer reviews for the Wolverine, though, they’re saying PC compatibility isn’t great (and one customer was flat-out told by Razer support that PC will never have config software for it, contradictory to your article). Given Razer’s…

I feel like they always put so much work into Life in Aggro but it’s just never funny, nor even kind of entertaining. Their jokes are either incoherent, nonexistent, or in this case, just so bizarre. It’s a shame too because the art style is remarkable.

I’d have to say the “verifying installation...” or whatever it is that pops up every time I launch Steam.

I also think back to all the times I would pre-order a game and log in to TF2 to find really cool promo items. Even if I didn’t want them I could sell them for $5-10. Good times all around.

Going to have to disagree with you there. While it definitely set the stage for the Castlevania GBA/DS games going forward, it doesn’t break a candle to them. I’d say any of the DS ones (Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, Order of Ecclesia) represent the series at its best.

This would have been awesome. TF2 is genuinely one of my favorite games (I love the aesthetic, the design decisions, the characterization, the maps, the mods!) and it makes me sad to see Valve taking a passive, money-suckling approach to it now. Just thinking back to TF2's old seasonal updates makes me feel happy.…

You are correct! I haven’t played it either so I’m not sure if it’s a play on words or something.

Speak of the devil. I booted up Battleborn this morning to see what was new, redeem any shift codes (all expired), and poke around a bit. I saw some cool skins in the shop but I figured the game would probably die soon (I could never find any matches anyway) and closed out of it. I thought about how disappointed I was…

Is Life in Aggro a Wild Arms reference? 1), holy crap, 2), I don’t get it, lol.

How does this look on a Kindle? IE are there a bunch of color photos or is it mostly (or all) text? I tried Amazon’s Kindle sample, but it’s maybe two pages lol.
