I am, admittedly, the biggest Marvel whore there is. I am a mark, I am a sucker, it takes very, very little to get my excitement and money, and yet...

Guardians is doing nothing for me. That should have been an easy ass slam dunk, but it doesn’t look all that great to me, and the idea of a Guardians game where I can

Maybe if you’ve only ever seen little clips of very early game Nier Automata, and never played it or Replicant, I guess I can kinda see a very minor resemblance...otherwise, no, they look absolutely nothing alike.

The main distinction being BF looks boring and bad. So much build-up and hype for...this? Really? A

Amalur had some wit and flair to the writing at least, Godfall is just the most bog-standard fantasy bullshit.

The dev did say on the stream that there will be “multiple subgenres” of metal. I’m willing to bet after 10 years of the first game, they know who their actual audience is, and will double down on the kinds of music those players actually want...which, hopefully, is nearly all rock and metal.

Did everyone forget the huge backlash to the whole HitRecord thing, or Michel Ancel being accused by numerous staffers of “toxic mismanagement” and then immediately leaving Ubi?

BG&E2 is dead, at least in the form it was in. One of two things is happening, either it’s been quietly cancelled and they’ll never speak of

Heh, nope, middle of last year...right before everything went tits up.

I got it free with my gpu, so I put about 2 hours into it. It’s pretty, even if they went a bit overboard with the bloom and the redish gold filter over everything made my eyes hurt after a while, and the combat is solid...but, man, there was just nothing else interesting or engaging about Godfall.

It wasn’t bad, I

Again, no, I don’t care about his race. What color Wesker is makes zero difference to me and has no bearing on the character.

Go look up the plot synopsis, it has only the vaguest, most tangential ties to Resident Evil, THAT’S what irritates me.

That’s it exactly. I do not give a shit about the race of any actor they cast in any part, I care that the entire premise of the show has fuck all to do with Resident Evil.

I specifically said nothing about his race on purpose, because it doesn’t matter in the least. Best actor for the part, as always, is the approach I want every casting director to take. I do not care about the show changing his race. Having someone as dope as Lace Reddick playing the character is the one thing that

I love Lance, I will watch damn near anything he does, but as a Resident Evil fan...

What the actual fuck?

Stop it. FUCKING STOP IT. What the fuck is wrong with these suits who continuously make these decisions? What kind of asinine, backwards ass thinking leads to these “Lets spend millions to license this IP, but chang

I think you’re right on about why most people hate Ava, and I fully admit that I generally do dislike the bratty teenage characters in media like this. I know the archetype all too well, I expect to dislike those kinds of characters...at least initially, until they go through their arcs and eventually become an

Man, Microsoft really is shit at this naming thing, huh?

Summer Demo Fest” done up in the same typeface and styling as the Summer Games Fest logo.

There, it’s that easy...you’re welcome.

I could write a thesis on why BL3 doesn’t work, but I’ll try and keep it quick-ish and concise.

99.9% of it is the writing. BL1/2/Pre-Sequel (and even Tales), set up some super, super interesting things. They built a crazy fun universe and filled it with super cool, super interesting characters with tons of potential

If nothing else, I’d just say trust Firaxis, they know what they’re doing and haven’t let us down yet!

I thought the same, too, initially. Then I thought about it some more, and suddenly Chimera Squad made a LOT more sense.

Not that I was crazy about Chimera Squad, I honestly didn’t think it worked and actively took away from what I love most about XCOM...but, as an experimental dry run for something else, I can totally

*Qualifier: The best piece of content in mainline Borderlands.

Assault on Dragon Keep is the single best piece of content in all of Borderlands, so a big standalone game using Bunkers and Badasses (the Borderlands version of D&D) as an excuse to go full fantasy is a great, great idea.

BL2 is one of my favorite games of all time, but I absolutely loathe Borderlands 3. Since this

My #1 E3 gatorade-get-hype-moment would have been a reveal for XCOM 3 (which I know we’ll still get, eventually, and had BETTER be Terror From The Deep) but, as someone who has been a die hard Marvel nerd for damn near 40 years, I will absolutely wait a little longer if we’re actually getting a Marvel themed XCOM.

There’s a steam page for each entry, so I’m still confused if you have to buy them all individually of if you get all three when you buy any of them. And what is this “deluxe edition”, there’s no listing for it!

Jesus, Tecmo...shitty ports AND shitty purchase options, it’s a 1-2 punch of garbage!
