the ASCII graphics aren’t integral - it’s more a callback to the old roguelikes and ZZT which used character-based tilesets. Since there aren’t too many notable items that share both the same color and glyph, the character/color combo can be replaced with sprites.

Why mention the bit about the games being “free” if you have a PS+ account if that is the only mention of “free” in the entire article?

Im irritated by the use of the term downgrade. Downgrade implies there was a perfectly stable predecessor that performed better. 

Flying is just controlled falling.

Anno 2070 had a similar mechanic - while taking place after the effects of global warming, certain building could produce a negative effect on the environment which could start producing one of a number of ecological disasters.

Here is my question: have you even looked at the longer video that shows the event? You call this kid a “racist shitheel” when there is no evidence of him even doing anything wrong other than by supporting Trump. Have we stooped this low that this response is warranted?

Here’s the reality though - Mueller is not done with his report. A good chunk of what Trump claims as fake news involves the investigation, or things that are attributed to anonymous sources. Without a piece of hard physical evidence to back it up, the credibility is suspect and requires taking a sip from the cup of…

In an odd twist of fate, gonna have to side with the WH on this one. Independent of the credibility of Buzzfeed’s story, other major outlets have done the public a huge disservice. Gonna pick on CNN here, since they happen to be the first outlet that irked me with its reporting.

Are you legitimately saying you would have played Smash Ultimate 7 hours less if the game came with all characters unlocked?

It depends on how you look at it. Some people don’t actually like the grind of leveling up - they want to be at max level or as close to it as possible and play the game from there to experience it. That’s not to say they will be playing the game any less, but rather speed through the parts that may seem tedious. For…

Why not?

Personally, Chapter 9 was where the game started to fall apart. There were leaps in the narrative that just had me going wtf is going on, which I couldn’t resolve until I had read a plot guide. On the other hand, I did enjoy the mood of the next few chapters, even though the story was suffering.

I put it down for a few months to play other games, but it still holds up well. At the same time, I started picking it up again during the winter event which led straight into Arch-Tempered KT.

I partially agree with your article. While it is true that a game engine is comprised of many different components, typically when a game is using the same engine it is using the same core components. Again, that’s not to say that the core won’t change, but perhaps the way one interacts with the engine would be…

I haven’t determined yet if punching someone in a fistfight kills them all the time or just when it is plot related, but if you want to be a “good guy”, equipping your lasso while in a fistfight allows you to dive in and hogtie your opponent.

The VC stuff has been around for a number of iterations. I got introduced to the series with 2k15 and VC was needed for player progress back then. Why is it any more disappointing?

Emmett Till’s mother was worrying about her son a long time ago.

Im sure if the refs pulled out a folded piece of paper the raiders would have had the short end of the stick.

The licensing agreement for its music expires soon.

What I want to know is how the Germans got the skid-steer loader down there if the entrance hole is so small.
