And the last act was roughly 90 minutes, had a weak final battle, and your character cap was at (IIRC) level 12. Par for Obsidian’s course, right as shit gets interesting and just as you start to feel a little bit powerful: roll credits. I’d be 100% behind them outsourcing out the last 20% of their games, because the…

I have enjoyed every single Obsidian game ever made. A lot, actually. Until the ending. They’ve been failing at ending their games for going on 15 years now, starting with KOTOR 2 up through the first Pillars game, and I’ve come to expect it from them. If me pointing this out is me not letting “people enjoy things”…

Will it have great writing and an amazing first 2/3, only to fumble down the stretch and deliver an extremely rushed and subpar ending?

Looks like what Destiny should have been. Hopefully they don’t screw it up.

Ori and The Blind Forest is one of the best games to come out in the past few years, and one of my favorite ‘Metroidvanias’ ever. Can’t wait for this one.

The show runners at the con are a joke. They kicked out ultrasabers, made people wait in 3 hour lines in 100+ degree heat (which they also did last year without any security concerns), and generally don’t give a shit about the attendees. They were going around yesterday and asking the booths if they wanted to pay in…

Another day, another shitty Kotaku article about ‘shipping’ Overwatch characters. How many does this make? 30?

Thought the book was extremely underwhelming and I fell asleep halfway through the first episode.

Not insecure, just, you know: hypocrisy. Don’t care who the ‘author’ of the articles are, but there have been a multitude of articles on this very website lambasting one game for its shortcomings, then to turn around and praise another for the very same thing. As for my ‘disingenuous argument’, what argument was I…

Maybe you missed the multiple Kotaku articles this last week talking about Mass Effect’s technical shortcomings. Maybe.

Zelda and Nier should be praised for their ‘shortcomings’, but Andromeda must be raked over the coals because their facial animations are dated. Got it.

Hold Up: The Game

Looking back at my post, I can totally see that. Was not my intention, honestly. My wife and I found Jubi a few months ago and love it, and I found that it makes my gaming sessions better, hence posting in this article. In all seriousness, my wife has a very high stress job and this drink has been a godsend, so I…

The only thing I’ve ever taken that Has made me feel a noticeable ‘edge’ has been the nootropic Jubi. Take one every 2-3 days. Relieves stress, makes you feel more focused, and has the amazing side effect of making your gaming sessions flow much smoother. And, since it’s a stress reliever, when you lose you won’t give…

I’m about 99% sure you meant Milla Jovavich instead of Gary Oldman for the ‘raspy and insecure tone’ of the characters voice... but DAMMIT, now I want a protagonist based off of Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zoeg.

That’s what I hear, hence my ‘current events (!) in the post. I do about 90% of my comic reading in Marvel Unlimited, but am debating breaking convention to go pick up these issues.

Nova (Richard Rider) is my favorite Marvel character of all time, so much so that every time I try to read Alexander’s Nova series it just makes me lament Rider’s death. I’m not sad that they’ve kept him gone for so long - barring recent events (!) - because he had one of the best arcs and heroic deaths of any comic…

‘Lifespan of 30 to 200 years.’

No shit Sherlock, and the video game industry has not followed the inflation curve. Instead of raising prices again (remember the backlash with the $60 raise of the 360/PS3 era?), they’ve tried to add on DLC, Season Passes, and multiplayer codes - and none of them are working. So guess what? They lay off half heir…

Read my last post. And if you feel like responding again, just go ahead and assume my response would be the same. Again. You’ve said your piece; I’ve said mine. No minds are going to be changed and I really don’t feel like circling the wagons with you. But if you want to continue being a dick, the publish button is…
