Grim Dawn is easily my favorite from this list. Shout out for Last Epoch, which maybe you didn’t list because it’s still Early Access? It’s damn good though!

I don’t think there’s a right answer here. This game probably started development before the news about her politics broke (I mean there were signs and rumors before, but it “Rowling is transphobic” didn’t become a common consensus until recently).

You gotta release it because the people who worked hard on it deserve…

It’s not “just” a shakedown for more controller sales, because no policy decision made by a giant organization is every caused by one single factor. However don’t discount the financial incentive. It would not be hard to at all to let DS4s work with all PS5 games (in fact I suspect most of that work has already been…

My fiancee’s PS4 developed this issue too. As I understood it it’s specifically the eject BUTTON that’s acting up. It’s touch sensitive (which is a horrible idea and always has been), and changes in heat and pressure of the adjacent components can cause it to register a permanent false positive.

Some people have had…

The odd thing about this is that a mode where you fight the disease realistically could be even more bleak tonally than the mode where you are the disease.

I don’t like this season that much either, but petitioning people to “fix” endings of things is the dumbest thing ever.

I’m still really disappointed about how Sony handled this situation. Evolution was a good developer.

Thank you, nobody had ever explained it to me that well before.

This is discernibly a “thing” for Korean devs, that is, when porting to a new region/platform, to release the 1.0 version instead of the most recent patch, and then fastforward it through the patch history one patch at a time. Why do they do this? Why is it a thing? I don’t know, but it definitely is a thing!

The stories and gameplay are almost exactly the same, but the sets of Pokemon available are slightly different, to encourage trading with friends. Cynical (and fair) cracks about money aside, it's kind of a clever system!

I know it’s irritating that people always show up on melee article comment sections just to dunk on melee still having a big tournament scene, but for real: Once you’re having to ban readily accessible techniques, maybe it’s time to admit your deep, balanced, and tournament viable game isn’t that deep, balanced, or…

I think that’s a reasonable call, although it tempts me to get cute about the 2010 live-action Sorcerer’s Apprentice with Nick Cage playing a character inspired by Yen Sid, or about 2018s Christopher Robin where roughly half of the 100 Acre Wood characters were recast as Brits.

Gonna quibble on Susanne Blakeslee, because we’re nitpicking anyway:

For many characters, Disney employs people more or less equivalent to “official replacements”, i.e, a goto actor who reliably voices the character in all projects they couldn’t get the more expensive original actor to sign onto (and or, who has…

Yes. It’s weird phrasing. It would probably better phrased like this: “in what is currently the most popular video game in the world.” But honestly you could just ditch the “currently”. Just say “in the most popular video game in the world”.

Well look, the fans are clearly overreacting in a really embarrassing and awful way. But at the same time, what possessed them to give this a big reveal at Blizzcon? Even if the fans hadn’t popped their corks, it was always going to go down as a bit of a letdown, like when Sony used to spend 50% of its E3 conference…

I think we’re seeing the beginning of the end for twitter. Celebrities are slowly sneaking out, realizing the risks are outweighing the benefit. And once your favorite celebrities have all left twitter — or haven’t left, but are only using their accounts for dry, canned announcements about their projects that you…

I want Hearthstone on Switch so bad.

So, he’s allowed to do whatever he wants to protect his sanity and the sanity of his family. And he’s absolutely right that if he streamed with women people would start stupid shipping rumors. That’s a huge part of stream-viewer culture. It sucks, but he didn’t make it that way.

However, that could change if…

This is why your code needs to fail loudly people!!!

Yeah, slowclap for Monster Hunter world finally kinda sorta barely-but-not-really catching up to where every other action RPG already was for inventory management.
