Don’t you dare use our cost of living crisis to justify your dissatisfaction with a lost opportunity to become even more obscenely rich than you already are.

Lightfall doesn’t fix the core problem of Destiny, which is that it isn’t rewarding to just play for an hour or two a day. You’re not getting anything out of it unless you’re devoting serious time and/or money, and it’s really bad at incentivising that without resorting to FOMO engagement tactics.

Shouldn’t they fix the game before talking about DLC?

Horizon often gets unfairly lumped in with Neo-Assassin’s-Creed map clearing games, and suffers because so many people are already familiar with those. That overshadows the fact it’s one of the most creative and attentively-written settings I’ve ever had the pleasure to play in. ‘Open world’ isn’t at the core of what…

Somebody got dismembered by a lightsaber in every Star Wars film until The Force Awakens (Disney’s first one in 2015). I can only think of one on-screen dismemberment since then, but I haven’t seen every piece of new SW media.

I’m all for dunking on Fortnite, but honestly I’m not seeing it.

Eurogamer is reporting this won’t be coming to PS4, which is unfortunate for me. I’ll be happy if the game makes it to PC soon.

Sure publishing habits are gradually getting worse, and the pandemic has wrought some changes, but I think it’s too early to make an assessment on the future of big releases. The distinction between “AAA” and whatever’s below it is arbitrary and there is no shortage of premium games. Would you not consider Dying…

No, but it falls under the umbrella of The Pokemon Company, is indicative of their overall strategy and is a reflection on both them and Nintendo. The issue people have with those games is that the goal of a remake is to bring a beloved setting into modernity in terms of technology and features, and BDSP have instead…

I remember playing Pokemon Legends: Arceus this year and thinking ‘wow, this is the dream Nintendo were trying to sell us on when the first games came out all those years ago, and I really hope they build its DNA into the main series’. The Switch is capable of realising that vision, as its flagship title clearly…

The writing’s been on the wall with this series since at least Sword/Shield. The devs have clearly had trouble adapting to the Switch’s more powerful hardware, and the games are no longer indicative of Nintendo’s usually-excellent quality standards. The Pokemon Company needs to either loosen their schedule…

I was really worried I was about to be shown the death knell of ME3 multiplayer, since people have had trouble accessing that on the new EA Play app, but hopefully that’ll go on for a good while yet.

This is big news as wikia/fandom has undoubtedly supplanted gamefaqs in the past decade for unofficial sources of information on most games. That’s a shame, because despite some exceptionally well-run wikis the user experience on fandom’s site is not good.

I love HZD, so I have no complaints about this. It’s still a ridiculously gorgeous game though, and I’m not sure there’s much point remastering it unless they were to bring its facial animations up to Forbidden West’s standard.

I think I’d keep everything except the combat mechanics (which are simplified compared to those of the base game and wouldn’t work well in multiplayer battles) and the bait-hurling, projectile-dodging boss fights. There are so many little improvements, like being able to rename mons and fully manage their movesets on…

Kill that “Only KotOR 1" qualifier! KotOR II is the best one if you’re on PC, between it having received a modernisation patch that KotOR 1 didn’t get for some reason and the fantastic Restored Content Mod.

If there’s one series you shouldn’t encourage by buying pre-orders, it’s probably Pokemon.

With any luck, we’ll be able to customise our appearance and it won’t matter.

Frostbite isn’t just EA’s own engine, it’s DICE’s own engine. Made for Battlefield. If that’s no longer suitable, either the engine or the game has evolved way out of its remit.

Uncharted didn’t need a movie. It alread was a movie.
