My awe at how many NPCs it’s drawing on the beach fighting with my real life “Nope, this is way too crowded, I’m hitting a different beach”

I am mainly wary of two things:

“Next-Gen” in 2025 will be five years into what is often a seven year cycle. Unless the PS6 and XBox um... Series X-1 or whatever are coming out early.

It’s like this:

I mean, Yes.

It’s entirely possible for both monetized games to be incredibly predatory AND for parents to be doing a terrible job of protecting their kid from being exploited by them.

Season 2 is the current season. Season 1 was last year.

I might quibble a little over the order (and deal with the assumptions that currently airing shows will neither rise nor fall in quality), but this is a pretty solid list. Though I am really enjoying Faraway Paladin.

It was fine. It wasn’t great by any stretch of the imagination, but it was definitely better than people made out. Call it Saint’s Row: Andromeda.

The question is, does it have an online PvP mode where I can just sit on a bench for five minutes before stabbing someone in the face?  

This is always my favorite self-selected difficulty setting. Run around and power up and the boss fight can be pretty easy, or go straight to the boss fight and it’s extremely difficult. Breath of the Wild being a good example of this.

Baldur’s Gate Early Access was three years ago. No one cared that it took almost three years from that already playable point because the final game is great.

Not that I feel the need to replace mine, but are they at least making an attempt to fight resellers this time around?

Conversely, all of the Crimson Fleet / UC SysDef quest markers were bugged out of existence on mine, so I ended up having to look up walkthroughs just to figure out where the heck I was supposed to go. Quest was still good, though.

All I’m saying is that in early 2000s, I had a friend who was a secretary in a law firm. None of the lawyers knew anything about computers, so when they told her to buy whatever she thought would be good for the office, she bought a bunch of gaming desktops and on weekends when no one would be in the office, she’d…

Best thing about The Last Nova is the air hockey table, five feet away from a literal window to the void of space.

They definitely need more assets. Every abandoned mine or spacer landing pad is the exact same abandoned mine and exact same spacer landing pad. Right down to the guy you need to get being on the landing pad itself.

Can you imagine the joy felt by the absolute first person to try the bucket trick and then discover it worked? 

I do realize that. But I also realized that my Valhalla character and your Valhalla character have the exact same skills at the end of the game.

I would strongly recommend against the 4th level of Security. Once you can unlock all lock levels, you’re good. On several skills, the last level is either OP or a little questionable.
