On the one hand, have a bit of faith in Machine Games. They’ve done a stellar job with the last two games, so don’t psych yourself out about their third go-around. They know what they’re doing. On the other, as much as I’ve enjoyed the darker tone as well, there does come a point (and I kind of started feeling it with…

I’m still have trouble with Barrett’s voice. It *sounds* like they tone him down maybe? But time will tell I guess.
Number one, I’m not carrying anyone’s water. When Bethesda fucks up, I acknowledge it. When they consistently develop and/or release top tier games over the course of more than a decade, I acknowledge it. Unless you’re seriously here to argue that Skyrim, Oblivion, Dishonored, Dishonored 2, Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein 2,…
So Bethesda fucks up the release of one game/releases a game that isn’t exactly what people expected, and you feel they should be prostrating themselves and personally apologizing to everyone who got their panties in a twist over their merely pretty decent product? They acknowledged that the criticisms were justified…
Why else do you hire an A-list actor and make him one of the main characters of your game except to associate your game with his face?
Let me see if I’ve got this straight:
Not super excited about Keanu’s involvement in this. Sort of detracts from the immersion of the world and makes this “that Keanu Reeves” game instead of its own thing. Feel the same way about most celebrity-modeled NPCs in games. Y’all remember that Kevin Spacey Call of Duty game? How about that Forest Whitaker Star…
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some sarcasm intended in that statement (“Oh, Russia *totally* wants him dead”), but I agree with you nonetheless. You don’t make 2000 threatening phone calls in a year — and 800 in a month — if you’re in a healthy state of mind. Guy needs some mental help.
Agreed. Something about Yooka Laylee turns everyone into a 12th degree video game critic, hyperdissecting it like it’s some sort of wine tasting and they need to describe how bright it tastes to let everyone know how cultured they are, and it really, really annoys me. Reading some of these comments annoyed me. People…
I guess I’ll go ahead and be in the minority and say I thought it was dumb. Incredibly dumb. The concept is interesting — I think the idea of video games/entertainment helping someone discover their sexuality is interesting, even if it risks crossing the line into a Jack Thompson-esque “vidya games made my kid gay”…
It took me a second to decide whether the way too long white shirt thing was just the “style” of that outfit or if it was a shitty fit, but then I realized that Trump and [Prince Charles? Sorry I don’t know the Royals] are basically wearing the same thing, and Trump is the only one who looks like a dipshit. He looks…
You can see it the most in the first picture, but this skeevy used car salesman look really puts his weird-ass balding pattern on display. He had plugs up front, but went bald behind that, so the front hair is desperately swooshed around to try to cover everything else up. And its fails utterly, and he looks worse…
This is how you fucking do it. Good job, Axios/HBO. Literally every other news network, take some notes.
Holding people to task for their actions is not dramatic. It’s the law. Nancy Pelosi is smart, and she’s stalling for time to allow investigations to proceed to the point that enough evidence is made public to shift public sentiment to the point that even Trump’s base can’t bury their heads in the sand. However, that…
Contempt and jail. The Executive branch is now ignoring both the Legislative and Judicial branches. If we just stand by and let checks and balances fall apart, this country falls apart and ends up a dictatorship. Someone has to step up to the plate, and since the Legislative branch seems to have made itself…
I’m reasonably certain that “Homo Demons” is meant as a species-variation name (like Homo Erectus, Homo Sapiens, etc.), rather than any sort of untoward reference.
Yup, another name for it is the Corpse Flower (although there are a few that go by that name). Venusaur! You know, for kids!
He has compared U.S. immigration policy to exterminating rats. He called the Affordable Care Act a “national embarrassment.” And he has downplayed the factors that cause climate change.
I don’t think it’s on her Artstation, but she’s done some honest-to-goodness vidya game artworks as well:
