It’s a game I have truly had no desire to ever return to. I couldn’t even finish the first DLC, let alone start the second. I thought it started off strong and the art direction is genuinely fantastic. But then it just… peters out and starts running out of new things to say. The people you come across are either…

I don’t know if I can explain my disappointment with this game but I’ll give it a shot:

I sank twenty hours into it but after a certain point the setting and your options just felt flat. Basically every joke had the same punchline and it just generally lacked the weirdness and character it needed.

I really, really wanted to love this game, even like, but there’s too much mediocrity to overcome. My main problem with the game is that aside from Parvati, every companion is an absolute asshole that I did not want to recruit. My heart sank everytime I talked with a NPC I immediately hated only to realize that there…

It’s funny, I’ve had the exact opposite experience. Every time I tried to participate in a conversation about missing or broken features I was mocked or downvoted to oblivion. Everyone wants to acknowledge the bugs, but it seems like if you try to bring up the things that are actually not in the game that were…

Look at that, this is what happens when you *don’t* cheap out on the submarine. You don’t get crushed like an empty beercan.

If you ever only watch one of these, Dimension 20 is the way to go. Episodes are a reasonable length (as opposed to Critical Role’s oh-my-god four hours) and Brennan is both a great improvisor and DM.

Before this article, I assumed both games were made by some of the same people.

I mean you have to be pretty daft — almost willfully so — to not see the obvious similarities and inspirations between BioShock Infinite and this game. It’s not hiding it at all. 

Why would the Plot-Armored Protagonist need TT membership?

I know people will make jokes here, but that IS one advantage to having been bought by MS: they can put a lot more QA people on projects. One of the reasons Bethesda games are so buggy at launch is that they’re really a mid-sized developer wearing a large-size developer trench coat. For the size of worlds they were…

This is just generic marketing speak. More unnecessary negativity about Starfield...this is incredibly conspicuous, guys.

Superhero stories in general have a perhaps unresolvable thematic conflict with the police. There’s no real way to remove the subject of vigilantism from the equation. Regardless of whether a police force is portrayed as purely good or almost entirely corrupt, the message is that they’re unable to handle the level of…

I can’t count the number of rock-chewers I’ve come across who outright worshipped The Enclave and legitimately thought the Fallout series was about the betrayal of America by liberals and Communists.

“Hey NPC, can you tell me where to find the Sword of Radiant Light?”

“in-game character responding in real-time to words the player says out loud”

Darktide desperately needs new content.  The game is/was fun to play, but it felt very barebones in the state it was released in.  Notwithstanding the multiple crashes to desktop etc. in the first few weeks, it mostly just needs more content and a proper campaign.  I have faith in Fatshark, since Vermintide 2 is…

I kind of like it. I wish more cool franchises would loosen up their licensing. Yeah, there’s a lot of trash, but there are more gems, too.

Looking forward to Rogue Trader. Aside from that, Warhammer games are like throwing paint at a wall. Sometimes you get art, but most of the time it’s a mess.

Kind of surprised that no one has done “What if Ursula was the good guy?” yet.
