It’s been going on since long before the Switch era - look at Dynasty Warriors Gundam or Dragon Quest Heroes, for example.

Yeah, Fata Morgana is fairly dark in places and even difficult to stomach at times, although as far as being ‘fucked up for a visual novel’ it’s only kind of scratching the surface. Admittedly, most of what’s out there that’s consistently darker is either censored on Steam or banned from it altogether.

This is an impressively needless article, since we’re clearly going to see more of Fisk in Maya’s show. He’s not going to just die offscreen after being brought in to walk away from arrows to the chest, a low-speed car crash, and a point-blank explosion. If he’s such a central figure in Maya’s life, it seems obvious…

I dunno, I think it’d be somewhat fair to think that Yelena’s ‘hunt’ might’ve been saved for some future Black Widow/Hawkeye film or something - think about how long it’s taken some other MCU setups to pay off. How many years was Thanos teased for? Would they really set up a stinger for something to be resolved in a…

Yeah, the Xbox app is complete garbage when it works at all, and the fact that all (or at least 99%) of the Game Pass games install as UWP apps is just icing on the cake.

$70 for a day-one, cross-platform release on multiple storefronts? I could get on board with that.

I honestly don’t see this being worth $60 unless they managed to (re-)license the entire original soundtrack, which they haven’t yet confirmed, to my knowledge.

I dunno - I like that they’re doing something different, but it feels too similar thematically to the final season of Agents of SHIELD for me to get excited about it. It still feels like Legends at its core, at least, but I guess I’ll have to wait and see.

The biggest issue is that they dedicated themselves to (or were constrained to) remastering ALL of Diablo 2, networking included, rather than remastering the client - the thing the players actually care about - and rewriting the server-side handling from scratch, with modern design paradigms in mind. The internet is a…

Realistically, it’s Melty Blood in name only - it’s a fighting game by French-Bread featuring Tsukihime characters, but it’s based in the Tsukihime remake universe (or multiverse, I guess) and tells its own story (which I can’t say much about since I won’t have time until the weekend to try it out). The combat style…

The biggest problem I have with this is the timing of the game forcing the roster to be so small. The original Melty Blood, and its subsequent updates, came after Tsukihime and its fandiscs/sequels, allowing for both a bigger roster of Tsukihime characters and a fresh story that made room for a number of new fighters.

I’ve been a Genshin Impact player since launch, and over the past few weeks the community’s made it awfully tough to openly admit being a fan. There’ve always been portions of the player base whining about gacha, the CCP, whatever, but since the 2.1 update a very large portion of the fanbase has just been openly toxic…

I mean, since MiHoYo relies on their fanbase to do most of their advertising for them (see: most of the social media “giveaways” for the anniversary event), it makes sense that they’d do as little as possible to alienate such an exploitable community.

This is what’s consistently baffled me about the PC release of the Master Chief collection. I just don’t get how they figure doing seasonal rewards for multiplayer is more important than the core features that made people buy Halo in the first place. It’s not like it can’t be done inside the current Microsoft Store…

Also photographed for the short-lived eBay listing were two all-black DualSense controllers, contrasting the more prominent two-toned color schemes of the peripheral’s currently available designs.

Might’ve leaned too much into the cheese at times, but this episode was the closest they’ve come to absolutely nailing Constantine as a character since his own series got cancelled, and I’d like to see some more of it in the future.

right now halo’s matchmaking requires eac, which won’t work, but there’s an option in the launcher that lets you start the game without eac, which still works with custom games and multiplayer campaign mode.

As long as I don’t need to replace and solder new capacitors on the board every few years, I’m sold.

Kinda weird to see Soul Hackers as one of their example ‘inactive’ IPs; properly speaking, everything Megami Tensei related (save for Persona) in the last 25 years or so should fall under the Shin Megami Tensei umbrella, including Soul Hackers. Being that Soul Hackers was one game in a sub-subseries that would’ve…

Is the translation actually good, or just passable enough to get the point across? MAGES’ in-house localizations have a spotty record at best, and with games like YU-NO, Robotics;Notes, and especially Steins;Gate 0 you’ll come across a bunch of stuff (mostly side dialogues, text messages, or other texts that might’ve…
