Traditional publishing contract, at a guess?

It sounds like the sector downloads are really disguising your objectives. Click on the right doodads and your download is ready and you can move on, but this provides a reasonable explanation for why your character is watching log entries and stuff.
Honestly, that right there is why I bought the Necromancer pack.
If you do, make sure to get RoS. The story is better than vanilla D3 (thought still far from a classic), the new Act is great gloomy fun, and the Crusader is a total blast to play. Adventure Mode might also be locked behind RoS? I’m not sure about that.
That’s terrible. My sympathies to his friends and family.
Right up until probably the last two minutes of Gone Home, I was convinced it was a horror game with a REALLY slow burn.
Awesome story! Even today it seems like too many stories about gaming culture are about how sedentary it can be. Great to see examples of the reverse.
I love everything about this story.
Yeah. It’s especially confusing given that one of the things the developers have mentioned repeatedly is that they’ve got a Tolkian scholar on-hand to make sure everything fits lore-wise.
Seems like that’s just the way Boss Fight Books is - all their books are simply named after the game that is the subject.
Jalopnik already figured that out:
Spoiler-free description of spoilers: It’s got really interesting gameplay/story mechanics that will heavily influence your choices at key moments with both positive and negative repercussions, but this mechanic doesn’t come into play for several hours, which could be irritating.
Probably because, much like Ubi and the AC series, Bioware has a pretty good track record?
Smashcast sounds like a low-budget dystopian sci-fi movie from the ‘80s. Probably starring Rutger Haur.
Fair enough. He may also have meant that it was impossible to ‘retrofit’, for lack of a better word, a Replicant for a longer lifespan; you could create one with whatever lifespan you liked, but it couldn’t be changed once the Replicant itself was born or manufactured or whatever.
Replicants don’t INHERENTLY have a short lifespan, it’s an intentional design. So it would make sense that, if Deckard was a Replicant, he’d be a special one without the built-in expiration date.
I assume the reference was to Human Revolution and Mankind Divided, since not even the most fervent Deus Ex fan would call the first game ‘beautiful’.
Hey, there have been tons of games in the Blade Runner setting, though a bit removed from the geographic location of the movie. One came out just a few years ago and most people liked it quite a bit: Alien Isolation?
