I really enjoyed it when it came out. It redeemed my GameCube... until I got an Xbox a few weeks later.

I would say an overall good review. They only thing that I had a thought about writing wise was using “her” gendered pronouns when you made an effort to point out that it a choice of gender and there is an option not to choose and use both so I think a “they” structure would have been better. I know you said you chose…

I miss me a good ol’ games industry reportin’ article by Capt. Totilo himself. (I enjoy the new content but these nuggets bring me back)

This sort of general ennui that Fahey is describing is more or less exactly what happened to me a few hours into Torchlight II. If you could drop the portions of the article that are specific to III and replace III with II it would be my review of Torchlight II.

I guess all I have to say is who give AF about their beta-characters. I’d use a jabroni straight human with no variant bonuses before I chose my favorite classes, tiefling and half-elf. I think that they are disregarding that possibility. I’m not buy the beta but I did read that some players were disappointed with the…

“you do need to be level 40 and have beaten Warlords of New York before you can access The Summit.”

I think a lot of young people over time have been into King Arthur and I had the fun and opportunity to have Arthurian Legend as one of my electives.

I’m glad it took you 10 minutes to cook that up but if it is an asset mentioned upon a pending deal you can’t alter it. Thanks Derp.

No. It’s an all cash buyout without competition considerations. Once agreed and then proffered to the government as an LLC acquisition there is essentially nothing that either party can do to hit the rewind button unless one of them straight out lied. Assumptive terms of an argument become a reality when you make a…

If you dropped Sony in there I think I may have understood it better but the way it read may it seem like ‘they’ was Bethesda. I wonder how long the Xbox coom-bi-ya for multi-platform love is going to last after this, or if Sony is going to flinch and warm to the idea.

There is no ‘deal’ when producing a game unless it is an exclusive or on contract. ES 6 can overnight become an exclusive. They have only mentioned one thing they are honoring as far as cross platform that means to me that everything else is undecided, and that is what they have said. 

I don’t know what you mean by ‘refuse’. They are an owned entity. An entirely owned entity. There is no “they let” Microsoft. Microsoft bought the whole house. The word NO doesn’t exist in any ZeniMax studio communication responding to Microsoft. Pete Hines made a paper tiger feint saying they could publish things…

But, dear God, they do!

It’s a day later and the hot-takes and analysis of some writers while not whiney are a little briny (yeah, that’s how you spell brine-y, just read salty).

I usually like and agree with Corpse Run 9 out of 10 times but there is always a place for casual clothes that may not be the most ‘on trend’ thing to wear. I highly doubt that someone is waiting to catch you wearing a Ren & Stimpy or Dragon Ball Z t-shirt to say they got you. But over sized cargo shorts on the other…

MH:W was the last mulitplayer game I actually plugged in a headset for but the somewhat frustrating gameplay cycle ensured I wasn’t buying back in, I.E. Iceborne.

I have just begun enjoying AoE:II DE (again) since I was shut down by the fact my PC can’t run Flight Simulator. I’ve never played III but I’m curious how much it actually improves on the gameplay cycle.

I think I beat Corypheus at least three times [read characters] and have tried a different approach with Solas each time (or maybe just two different approaches since it’s a pretty binary system). I didn’t really have interest in the DLCs once they eventually were spoiled, but while I thought he was a pedantic, self…

GTA Online has always been an odd duck for me. After exhausting the content that launched with it I’ve gone back a few times and having an armored Akuma (which I got around 4+ years ago) the missions feel broken and trying a heist with randos is the opposite of fun.

No, I thought you were going to say Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (MxC) with Kenny Blankenship and Vic Ramano. Also featuring Captain Teneal and Guy LeDouche.
