It’s pronounced Laurel.

I know I’m supposed to be grossed out by this. A decade ago, I would’ve been. But I’ve been so turned around on how great rats are that now I see that swarm and I can only see this:

That is proof to me that you are Oldtaku. Only Oldtaku knows of Tim’s massive, sometimes scary love of words and how they can be used.

When are we getting Tim’s next 34,000 word column though?

Then indeed the game is not for you, and thats totally ok. Sometimes is the genere itself what turns us off, sometimes even jsut the execution. All my friends told me Witcher 3 was one of the best games ever made. I tried so hard to like it, but I just hate every part of it, its unplayable to me. To each with their…

What about character creation, multiplayer, and PvP? Any info?

If nothing else, kick it down to Easy and get the story in. If you’re one of those that doesn’t admire storytelling in video games (I know some of these monsters) you can safely move on and know it’s not for you.

i think the fun/enjoyment is that it’s character/story-driven, but takes place in a cruel environment. the gameplay isn’t revolutionary, but given the setting and limitations in place, it’s challenging.

I agree with some of the others. It’s not really much “fun” at all, but as a character essay it’s pretty brilliant. That being said, I have no desire to return to that world. I really liked the ending of TLoU, and felt that’s where it should stay.

The zombies are the worst part of the first game, but fighting human enemies are really fun. The shooting mechanic is really grounded, it keeps you feeling underpowered and pushes you toward better tactics.

Easy: it’s not a fun game.
