Nathan, how’s the character progression over the course of the campaign in comparison to XCOM? And any rough estimate on length? I’m nearly ready to click the Purchase button.

I can put up with nearly all that so far, but BY FAR the biggest headache I have is the fact that every time I loot something - a body, a crate, whatever - after hitting “X” to take the items I want, I instictively hit the Circle button to back out of the loot interface... which ends up bringing up the GODDAMN…

I liked it too, and don't understand a lot of the hate. While it's certainly the most "traditionally Bond" of Craig's tenure (for better and for worse), I think the prior three films had all been leading up to this - Craig's Bond has "earned" the tradition now. Not as epic as Skyfall, and perhaps a little too forced…

Steve McNiven, for me. Can't explain it.

I’m gonna have to play on PS4, and I’d very much like to know whether the late-game memory leak/slowdown/freeze issue that plagued Skyrim and F:3/NV is present here.

Wow, the heroin revelation suddenly makes Echo a LOT darker and more fascinating than it already was, and adds a whole new layer to a lot of the songs on there. I wonder if the recording was contemporary with the addiction or post-recovery?

Hey, I do too!

Question mark?

Yeah, I really wish they would have ported the setup mechanics for CotW back to the original scenarios and PoD expansions - it's just so much more streamlined and harder to screw up, it really feels like MoM 2.0.

I hardly ever recommend this game to anyone, but Mansions is one of my favorite games of all time; unfortunately the number of bugs in the base game scenarios and the effort required to set it up (kudos to you for getting it down to 30 minutes) killed it with my current group. It's a great experience though, and the…

It puts a lot of really good ideas in the Legendary system, and really does capture the tense feel of the films; my only complaint is that the art (outside of the cards depicting the Aliens) is pretty eye-scratchingly terrible IMO.

I simply cannot wait for the universal truths that will enlighten our greater selves we will learn from… um… watching a best-case-scenario-it's-the-fourth-best-version of the Joker? Lots of rule-breaking ground-striking going on here, I'm sure. Shamanism? What-the-fuck-ever, Leto.

Any new Bowie output at this point is house money (and The Next Day was like getting dealt blackjack with that money, as far as I'm concerned), so I'm grateful for all of it. Can't wait, as even his misfires are (usually) fascinating.

Having been pretty disappointed with every single Transformers game so far, I'm tempted with the simpler approach here… but then I see that price. I just don't think a repetitive beat-em-up with a nostalgia theme is worth 50 bucks, no matter how badly I want it to.

I must have watched Runaway a thousand times on cable; it's exactly what he says it is, a fun futuristic cop movie, with Gene Simmons looking creepy as hell.

Hot take here, I know, but half the appeal of any Iron Man comic book is seeing badass armor. This new design fails completely to generate any excitement, awe, or cool - it's too… I dunno, plain, like a sci-fi unitard from the '70s or something. It's like surfaces are broad and flat where they should be narrow and…

Wait a minute, what in blue hell have they done exactly to ‘upgrade’ my favorite game soundtrack of all time? Is this a full-on replacement, enhancement, or addition?

I'm down for a Del Toro-flavored Wilkie Collins-esque joint, so… yeah, this looks pretty good.

Remains of the motherfuckin' Day, motherfuckers. That shit makes me cry like a goddamned baby at the end, that last look from the train platform, and the rain, and the.. the…

Man, this probably doesn't bode well for Public Morals. I've gotten weirdly attached to that show.
