I didn't know, that does help

It needs a spell/weapon wheel of some sort, the UI is garbage, and selecting a spell in the middle of combat sucks.

Holy shit is Elden Ring out? Since when? Why haven’t there been articles about it?

PC gaming for the last ten years isn’t going to change because you don’t understand it. If you don’t like launchers you should dust off your XBox again and shelve the PC. (I’m not saying i enjoy the launchers but they’re an unavoidable “problem”)

Ubisoft games are launched from Uplay.
EA games are launched from Origin
Epi…

we did get dark souls 3 and bloodborne though

Yeah, but hiring someone with pretty impressive fantasy chops, presumably for the express purpose of making a fantasy game, and then undercutting that person at every turn is a pretty shitty way to run a company.

I don't know why this feels like the best piece of news today but I'm living for it. Good on them PS3 MGS players. 

His house, then use the proceeds to buy a place without an HOA?

As a reminder, besides his sexual misconduct, Hascoët was also the shitheel who thought an AC: Odyssey with just Kassandra would be a failure (so they shoe-horned in the much more boring beefcake brother) and kept us from playing Aya for much of AC: Origins. Because again, feh, women, what are they good for? Le…

It’s wild to hear that one of the largest developers in the world gives so much creative control to a single individual - I’m not sure even Miyamoto has enough influence at Nintendo to unilaterally can a project just because he doesn’t like one aspect of it. From Jason’s article, it also sounds like this CCO was one…

Yeah, but if you by ONE HUNDRED games at $9.99, you save a dollar, so who’s the smarty-pants now?!

why didn’t thye just use their cars to block the street and keep the cops out?

That’s a pretty cool anecdote. It seems fitting for a movie about “illegal racing” to also have a story about “illegal film production” tied to it.

“I will not pay more money for the privilege of having a worse car.”

But you do sometimes have time to play them twice! A curious distinction, ha. I rarely have the time / attention span for one full playthrough, let alone multiple, alas.

For me the fun is in overcoming well-tuned challenges, so if the game is good enough (and not overwhelming to me) I favor harder difficulties. I like…

Oh sure, FOMO in live games has really burned me out. I try to ignore it when I can, but with it becoming more and more gameplay/event related as well as cosmetics and the like, gaming is clearly leaning on the compulsory need more than ever.

For open world games, I can say from experience that the Ubisoft model is…

“Another open world game” has been my problem this generation. With more and more games coming out all the time, it’s become more of a problem picking out what games to play and when. This generation has been rife with open worlds and live games that are only getting bigger and demanding more and more of our time.

I feel like gamers just have too many options nowadays. There’s a lot of bits of specific language in this review - checking your phone while watching the pre-duel cutscene, audibly sighing when cresting a hill and seeing more things to do, “The layer of Japanese aesthetics barely hides the fact that the world is just…

At this rate we’re definitely getting a real assassin’s creed japan from ubisoft... and some time in the far future when 2020 is old history, an assassin’s creed Florida with a karen DLC.

Between the migration of the douchebros to Tesla and BMW charging a subscription fee for things that you can get on $7k used 2016 Chevy Sonic, my hunch is people just aren’t trading for BMWs as much.
