*shakes walking stick*

Danelaw Britain, Cnut’s North Sea Empire and the Frankish conquest all spring to mind as utilising pretty similar assets. A Frankish assassin would give the writers loads of room to have a Europe-trotting, major-events-influencing protagonist who manages to get their DNA into particularly influential currents in the

This just in: Gamers are failing to grasp how even a single facet of capitalism works.

remember the times when there was a significant current among people who consume games journalism that thought a review should just list the technical specifications of a game and only discuss how well it runs?

...... have bioware suffered enough? Can they make kotor 3 now?

I see nothing to disagree with here

there is no way in hell the people doing this hope to get away with producing a full game

fuck gamers

fable 2 was the best fable

I like this content a lot

the sex and race of a character can have huge ramifications for the player’s enjoyment of the game, and white boys’ screeching ignorance of that simple fact of human existence is, to the total exasperation of anyone with a shred of empathy, a blight upon the medium of games

we all remember how much Pillars of Eternity benefitted from those wonderful, aesthetically coherent backer NPCs sprinkled tastefully throughout its world, right?
