As deeply flawed as Dragon Age 2 was, I still think it’s one of BioWare’s more interesting and experimental games. You’re not the chosen one, you don’t save the world, you don’t even save the city, and there’s not even a main villain, just a bunch of people whose idea of “the right thing” is directly opposed to a…

I played the Dragon Age games for the first time last year and came away liking DA2 the most. Despite clearly being a rush job with reused maps and every seam showing, it was the most focused and thoughtful of the series. DA:O felt like work (it was actually the only time I’ve had to turn difficulty down on a game- I…

Hell, not only didn’t majority of that 30+ hours in DAI nothing of extra value, because they designed the different regions with the idea that you could go there in any order, none of them could truly inform and support the central story. Hence you go around doing sidequests, but they are completely independent of the…

It’s kind of funny as the more I look back on Dragon Age 2, the more I think its release and the aftermath that followed is one of the more critical points in cRPG history. Before going deeper, I want to be clear that I absolutely love that game, thought it was ahead of its time in so many ways and it warms my heart…

Oooh, an Insomniac-developed Sonic could finally challenge Sonic Adventure as the top Sonic 3D game of all-time.

I think for SOME people, WFH is better.. (less distractions, they can work at their most productive hours, a better (theoretically) work/life balance, cost savings by reducing/eliminating commute costs, etc...)

But it also helps when those people take to WFH as a perm shift and have the space/resources to dedicate a…

this is my exact take on all things like this. Like Cowboy Bebop, the reaction to it was fucking nuts. It was an OK show, and if you really think it somehow tarnished the IP, turn it off and watch the anime?

Chief: “Squad, we have to take out those Covenent forces at the top of the ridge. There’s a Scorpion. Get in.”

Real question here. Am I the weird one here?

you’d have to kinda go outta your way, either with a Wii or an emulator, but Batman Brave and The Bold, one of my favorite carroon depictions of Batman and his comrades’/rogues’ gallery, has a fun side scrolling action game. also doubles for Wii’s lovely affinity for having great drawn art/animation games. super…

I still think Origins is better than City.

Any word on if they’re bring back important Arkham series features like being constantly called a ‘bitch’ while playing as a female character modelled like a sex doll?

As a PAX Enforcer this is obviously tragic news. I would like to urge people in the comments to refrain from blaming this person, a real person who is now dead, for her illness and death.

My issue with a lot of this stuff stems from the unspecified economic relationship between the gamer/”time investor” and the game. Out of the objectors, how many of them are upset because they’re streamers who view “getting into a game” as an actual business investment and object to delays because of this? The way…

It amazes me how companies completely muck up their battle passes when the industry leader (Fortnite) has the best model (at least IMO) and they could just copy that. Fortnite has had, for as long as I can remember, the “free money” system where you can earn enough to buy next month’s BP.

I can’t believe they showed us his master cheeks.

We didn’t have any of the stuff from the video but we had the whole Handy Boy setup when we were kids. It didn’t take us too long to realize it was a waste of time and super uncomfortable to use BUT I vaguely remember keeping at least part of it attached for a week or two in order to use the included light source.

I think the intention is to make these challenges theoretically possible so that it can be written somewhere that “You don’t need to buy anything”. This game and others have demonstrated that implementing frustration into the game is how to get players to buy sh*t.

I think the mode is a lot of fun, but absolutely agreed on the challenges. The ultimate challenge for week 1 was 25 mangler kills, and I literally played 18 total games before I got the 3rd mangler game to get my last 2 kills. It was awful. They absolutely either need to make every option available for selection as a…

I have an Alienware laptop with an RTX 3080 and I cannot get this to run at all without crashing. Installed it twice and still stutters then crashes with a message that my frame frate isn’t good enough to play online. I am searching for a fix, but at this point I’m just going to ask for a refund. I can play Horizon…
