I saw this on /v/ earlier today and thought it was fake or something. Glad to see it’s actually real. Ubisoft have some balls and I like it.

There will be lots of really bad hot takes for this, and I am here for it. This cover rules.

Some of my favorite books this year include Chloe Benjamin’s The Immortalists, about the lives of four siblings who learn their exact (and varied) death dates as children; Justina Ireland’s Dread Nation, a YA historical fiction novel where a zombie uprising interrupts the Civil War and African-American girls are…

Very much enjoyed this perspective, it’s passionately written and a cool story of working together with other players. But I also think it’s very rare, and will stay that way with the game as designed, because Bethesda has done nothing to train people or incentivize them to work with random strangers. They’re…

THANK you. I’m glad I’m not the only one who read this article, and wondered afterward if I was looking at a physical or virtual object.

Edit:
Yep, spinning fiber optic thing.

Yu should mention this is launching on Xbox Game Pass too this week. A lot more folks will have an opportunity to try it out!

I’m surprised so many people complained about getting the nylon bag, as doing so requires that you admit to others that you spent $200-$300 on Fallout 76.

Well, you have to remember - first they have to port Skyrim to the Apple Watch and old HP calculators to finish it’s takeover of every platform in existence and then they will get to work on the next one. And by then microtransactions will be SO 21st century.

Superb list from this blessed site as always, /cheer! ^^ Covered almost every one of my top titles for this year (God of War, Unavowed, Spider-Man, etc.). So I’ll just single out a space here for a personal favorite—I loved Yakuza Kiwami 2 because it completed the reflective trilogy that started with Yakuza 0. It’s The…

/cheer to you! I enjoyed that game too!

This year had a ton of great games. I honestly don’t know which one I’d call the best, but I know the game that I’ve most come back to throughout the year: Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire.

I’m not a big gamer, and the only thing I actually played in 2018, aside from my apparently endless Bloodborne addiction, was Red Dead Redemption 2. This game is pretty much perfect for me. I’ve always loved westerns and was a huge fan of the first game, and this one has improved on it in every way that matters to me. …

The highlights of this year were God of War and Spider-Man, so I’m glad to see them on this list. I used to think that a video game story could never make me cry, because I never really gave a damn about the stories and was just in it for the gameplay. These two games proved me wrong. I’ve rarely been so moved by and…

I liked 428 Shibuya Scramble because it tells a complicated story about how our decisions affect those around us. 428 Shibuya Scramble is a visual novel that follows five protagonists through an eventful day. Each protagonist has their own goals, but their stories intersect in various ways. Seemingly innocuous…

I liked Yakuza 0 because it’s a complex, emotional, and well-acted crime saga which also offers you the option of wearing shoes that squeak like a cat when you walk and make other pedestrians want to fight you.

I liked „Where The Water Tastes Like Wine“ because it’s an exciting scavenger hunt for people who are deeply in love with folklore, made by people deeply in love with folklore.

God of War is a genuine masterpiece to me.

Fallout 76 is no where on the list, not surprising but still so sad. Can’t believe Bethesda shit the bed so bad on that game

Spider-Man has to be in there too,  unless you don’t have a PS4

I haven’t played it, but looking at over sites, I get the impression that Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey has a solid bronze medal placement.
