Even IF Hogwarts Legacy managed to “distance” itself from JKR and her “comments,” how could they distance their game from the plot, which was largely about stopping Goblins from getting equal rights in the Wizard World, or the references to a historical pogrom?

My money is on Bethesda having planned DLC for just the base building, and that it was stripped on purpose during release in order to sell you the “complete” base system later. But with how quickly the game seems to have fizzled in the zeitgeist who knows what’s going to come out or not to add to game. Something tells…

The great thing about Skyrim and Fallout 4 is that every single square mile is filled with so many things to find outside of any quest lines... little caves with the remnants of drama, pipes that take you somewhere special, oho a little puzzle treasure vault! And every single one of those things is there for a reason,…

The problem isn’t the size per se but more that the size was the selling point and then it was implemented so poorly. At least in terms of gameplay. Exploring the many systems is neither particularly fun nor particularly rewarding. And it doesn’t tie in to the story. This isn’t a game about interplanetary exploration…

I was expecting a straight Blood Dragon story (no pun intended ) but instead its basically UBISOFT allstars .

I’m watching it right now. I was not expecting this to be so engaging. I thought it was gonna be a Kung Fury fully absurd pastiche, but they do enough with the setting and the characters for it to have its own sort insane internal logic that works better than it should.

Looks like AC Mirage is going to be getting an unexpected boost in its marketing budget.

Odyssey was the AC game that got me into the franchise, so I’m always more favorable biased towards the RPG versions of the series. However, I played pretty much all the originals in the first year of the Pandemic, and I gained an appreciation of the pre-RPG versions of the game (ended up beating 2, Brotherhood, 3,…

Less than that, really. It’s easier to think of your two lead characters as a single combined protagonist. You can swap between them freely at campfires and it only changes minor dialogue depending on who’s in the lead. They’re not quite “silent protagonist” but are definitely left as rough character sketches for the…

When they first announced it, I remember saying; “of all the anime they could realistically adapt, One Piece is the worst choice due to how wacky it is and it is destined for failure.”

I definitely ate my words because they made the best choice by actually leaning into the wackiness and embracing it and they knocked it…

As much as I liked One Piece Live Action, I would rather wait for the strike to settle positively for the actors.

Cool so it took 1 person a few days(?) to completely overhaul and fix the game’s terrible inventory system? It’s a good job that Bethesda aren’t a billion dollar development/publishing goliath with a track record of their games needing the same fixes from community mods of every game they release or this would be…

The irony of someone using Hasbro-owned D&D to protest soulless corporations screwing over creatives is absolutely magnificent. 

i can’t wait until Netflix, Disney, Amazon start announcing new content agreements with more overseas companies.  Disney already grabbed Dr Who.

This was excellent. Thank you, Linda, and thanks to the people who organized this and Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Just when I think Brennan cannot get any hotter. Yeah, organize that labor, Dungeon Master. 

A great story for labor day: working class people building community and standing in solidarity. For sure, life isn’t a movie, but it is poetic that the powerful sow the seeds of their own destruction by their inability to restrain their greed. I mean, it’s only comfort that keeps the average person from organizing…

I just finished watching it and really enjoyed it. I wasn’t overly familiar with any of the other versions but live action will always require some changes. My only complaint is that there were only eight episodes. Hopefully a potential season 2 will be a bit longer.

I like this because it opens up the setting and adds more chaos.

I’m glad we are getting more force attunement through training/experiences rather than through gifts. we saw it a bit in Rogue One but so far that’s really the only other time we’ve seen it aside from maybe broom boy.
