I think new heroes are fine, the problem is that Blizzard is just bad at reactive balancing and it’s clear their pipeline doesn’t let them rework the heroes on time. I mean, Lifeweaver came out with a passive that was blatantly not play tested; Ana was made and pretty much dominated metas for a year with Blizzard…

I imagine it’s a different team or something. Different genre, but I was super surprised that Amplitude’s Endless Space 2 had a lot of QoL and design stuff that made it incredibly comfy to play only for none of that to find its way to Humankind.

Cena was also WWE’s ambassador to China to the point he even learned the language, so he was in a doubly precarious position.

Mostly because in games of this magnitude, a lot of those things can actually end up breaking the game way down the line for normal players. BG3 is a very buggy game with tons of outcomes and flags. Case in point: I play as Dark Urge and immediately after a prologue, I received Inspiration for watching someone die. I…

Alex Dunphy. She’s hard to immediately recognize because she’s no longer being made to look super dumpy (which was by accident - she was an extremely early bloomer and she basically hit puberty like a speeding train right after season 1).

I disagree, considering how shit mouse & kb handles the atrocious inventory and how the highlight button for interactables is just inferior to the action ring you get on console when you just hold A/X.

FSR 1.0 makes the image very blurry. It looks alright enough on the Steam Deck’s screen alone provided it’s properly zoomed in, but it’s absolutely unwatchable if you hook the Deck to a screen. I didn’t notice it either but since I wanted to just play the game on my monitor screen at my desk, FSR makes it look like a…

It’s not at all like DOS2 in tone. Astarion is indeed a dick, but he’s actually quite layered in that he’s a victim of abuse - he’s not selfish for the sake of it, he’s selfish because he’s endured years of not being able to be selfish and he’s drunk on the momentary bit of freedom he got. While he can be an asshole,…

Jesus Christ this place is really the pits now that all these fucking bootlickers are arriving. Shut this site down, they already have their avenues for skullfuckery on Twitter.

Throne of Bhaal was the expansion, Shadows of Amn is the subtitle of base BG2.

The idea behind it is very good - every wrestler in the game is a toy and aware of it. Every character is also aware that wrestling is a work... except the protagonist.

Eh, both Fell Seal and Triangle Strategy managed to nail the concept really well. They aren’t repeating the FFT formula exactly, but that game is also lightning in a bottle.

And you know at least one will be posted by Barsanti, after he watches half the film.

FLCL: Grunge looks like shit. Quality of the sequel series not withstanding, it’s just ugly and the particular quirks of that animation style translate terribly to 3D. Haruko’s duck face in that one shot looks like absolute garbage.

Like...I can believe her having a complete mental break when her 12 year old son basically disintegrates in front of her eyes while the kingdom she sold out everyone she knew for crumbles, but it really felt like the writers just were like “and we’re done with this character.”

The Wire was never gonna win anything due to the way the Emmys make shows fall into neat structures, like giving your actors “limelight episodes” where they get a big scene or monologue to secure that acting nomination. Like, I struggle to name any episodes of The Wire beyond “Boys of Summer” and “Clarifications”…

Xenosaga is seamingly being integrated into the Xenoblade canon, so who the hell knows how it will develop.

Papa NieR is in the game, voiced by Jameson Price, too - he’s in the combat arenas that were DLC for the originals. 

This comment is great to show to people who are absolutely sure their posts on the internet are worthwhile because at one time, you probably thought the same thing

It’s a limited series, so no.
