Titan’s offspring, Overwatch, came out in 2016 and many of its developers returned to the WoW team; the expansion which then released later that year, Legion, was considered a return to form of the high quality of the Wrath days. Coincidence? Doubtful.

Just re-release it on steam, bake a few existing mods into it, call it Skyrim++, and sell it for a full $60 - and it would net them more money as well as not anger the fanbase.

It was 5 years between Oblivion and Skyrim and, despite the consoles being very mature quantities at that point, the game doesn’t look or play 5 years newer; certainly not the gap that you see between Morrowind and Oblivion. Ditto Fallout 3 and 4, and we even had totally new consoles with significantly more…

I agree. The rapid release of expansions totally killed my destiny boner. WoW does expansions on a much more player friendly cycle. Destiny just wants all your goddamn money all the goddamn time.

Thing is, the games you mention were basically turn-based games. Turn-based games don’t require complex controls or fast reactions, so the touchscreen doesn’t hurt them. Diablo, however, isn’t that kind of game.

That’s... one savage question, sir.

The problem isn’t that. Thing is, the Diablo fanbase has been dry since 2014. And the only good thing that has come out since LoD from the Diablo team was precisely RoS, in 2014. Everything else in the last 15+ years has been complete silence or underwhelming announcements, except for the D3 reveal which led to…

Compare the “cheers” after that presentation with the ones coming from, well, basically any other announcement that night. Heck, even the Starcraft 2 new commander announcement, which was low key as can be, made more noise.

The complete silence from the crowd after the video says everything about what a misstep this is considered by the fanbase. Easily the worst received announcement of the keynote, and the one they had hyped up the most.

The name Christmas alludes directly to the birth of Christ. While many cultures held special celebrations for winter solstice, yule being the most relevant one for Rowling’s world, they still call it Christmas. Calling it Christmas makes sense for us, who live in a society that came directly from Christianity, but the…

I’ve been on a Destiny 2 spree these last two months, and hearing the constant comparisons to Borderlands makes me wanna give BL1/2/PS a try. However, I can’t get past how the game just isn’t at all balanced for single-player, there’s no matchmaking to speak of, and servers are basically empty for low-level players…

Not likely. He sold the rights to use his world, which comes as a whole. Selling the rights to use the material in a novel wouldn’t make sense, because the Witcher games don’t follow the same plots as the novels. Generally you can sell the rights to produce a film based on your book, sell the rights to produce films…

When Rowling goes and pulls a Harper Lee or a George Lucas, then we can talk.

As far as I can remember, there are no explicitely Christian characters either.

The numbers there aren’t inherently bad, at least not til more recent releases appear. Selling 1M copies on PC only is usually considered a feat, and even 500k copies is a lot for a graphical adventure. The problem probably is that many of those copies probably came from the lots of humble bundles featuring telltale…

Yeah but it’s just a pre-order, and this isn’t really likely to ever come out at all, or is it now? You’ll likely just get an email saying the release has been cancelled in a few days or weeks.

It’s what happens when you’re given a choice between several actions but neither of them really changes the storyline much, if at all. Making an enemy in a game could, one would think, lead to them not helping you down the road and perhaps dooming your quest to failure. In TT games, making friends or enemies will at…

Looking back, this is... not surprising at all.

There were already reports some time ago, when Tales From the Borderlands was still ongoing, that said game had been a flop and Telltale had delayed its final couple episodes to focus on other games (TWD I believe) because of that. Same reports appeared once about The…

Although I played and loved Tales from the Borderlands, Wolf Among Us, Batman, and Tales from Monkey Island, the Sam & Max revival is what Telltale is to me - and that Telltale has been dead since Devil’s Playhouse ended. They stopped making humorous graphical adventures to focus on visual novels, which were good but…

Only a few. No legendary year 1 armor that I had or have found since has had random perks, and even then ones that have perks have only one instead of two.

I understand not wanting people to keep using the same armor only, so having old gear we had be underpowered by design was fine by me. It’s having new Y1 drops also…
