“Rather than designing new concepts, Amazon pushed to create takes on other popular games. A project called Nova, inspired by League of Legends, was cancelled in 2017. One called Intensity, sparked by Fortnite’s staggering success, was binned in 2019. And then there’s the ill-fated, Overwatch-like Crucible, which…

I have regularly referred to Bowser as "Scalie Bondage Daddy" for YEARS now. Thank you for recognizing this dragon turtle's sex appeal.

I don’t mean to be rude, but can someone with experience in development explain why this is significant? To my simple, naive mind it seems like it’s basically a single-player game running in split screen, wand e’ve had splitscreen since... what, the NES / Genesis days?

OG Xbox games I would happily play again: Azurik, Sudeki, Vexx, Dead to Rights, Jet Set Radio Future. Where the actual hell is Jet Set Radio Future, Microsoft???

I wasn’t totally sold until... Uh... How to say this without spoilers... The door.

Weird, I don’t see the deluge of “keep politics out of games” comments directed at Ellis. Golly, I wonder why?

So. I was on the fence about Valhalla, but now I think I'm gonna have to get it. I'm not dropping $120, but I imagine it or something similar will come to the store.

I think the big difference here is “just before launching a project”. There is likely a lot of work left to go on Everwild, and leadership still needed at this point. A full-blown freakout may not be warranted, but worry is certainly a fair reaction.

They had ADS in H5 and people still bitch.

Yeah, I’m gonna go with “Uh, duh?” What do you expect them to do? Take the time to educate people about the context and history of the armed forces and apologize for the atrocities committed?

Can this be the next photoshop contest so I can put this bland ass mofo on the cover of BioShock Infinite?

“Terminator vs. RoboCop cheapens the character’s legacy”

“Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is a transphobe. That is not an opinion, it is a fact.”

“So can we all be honest with the fact that a) Beyond Good and Evil, while certainly an interesting game at the time, is overrated and had very little impact on the medium”

I always thought it was "So long, big Bowser"

Whether you think it's "genre trash" or not, the first Telltale Walking Dead series had nothing to do with seeking revenge or playing as the "humans are animals" trope. You were always Lee, who was always out to protect and care for Clementine. This game is about seeking vengeance on someone who wronged you, because…

It would be more like watching the original Star Wars trilogy, and then watching a separate trilogy told largely from the POV of Darth Vader - including explaining his motivations and background. But they wouldn’t do that, and hordes of ravenous fanboys would never proclaim such a hypothetical trilogy as masterpieces…

... no? How is this similar in any way aside from a post-zombie apocalypse and overall brutal tone? The storylines are nothing alike.

I’d like to also suggest checking out STAB! (yes, the caps and exclamation point are part of the name). It brings together comedians who are given writing prompts a day or so in advance of the show and give their best humourous answers. A personal favorite is "I Hate This Egg," which includes a battle rap against...…

I don’t know if this is off-limits or not - maybe if someone here has read spoilers they can share? - but I feel like I need to know if this game includes scenes of sexual violence. Whenever there’s brutality for the sake of it, I too often see rape and other forms of sexual violence used as a tool. I almost hate to…
