Of course, there’s been similar nonsense in previous Fallout games

That’s really unsettling. Mobile, microtransaction-driven games are some of the most exploitative in the industry, with people with addictive tendencies being actively manipulated into financial oblivion; what we are witnessing are the AAA companies going all-in on that exploitative craze; and gaming journalists are…

I wear my Jordan XI Breds with my black suit.

Jason, I’m far from a Diablo fan myself (I’ve never played Diablo II and so far have only spent a few hours on Diablo III), but I take some issue with this part:

But isn’t that the point? This idea that women should never be spotted with their “natural” face on is dangerous precisely because it shapes and distorts men’s expectations (and their idea of what it’s like to be a woman) from a very young age.

Thank you for that. I wish people would just stop belittling other people for style and fashion choices. I hate this whole “- makeup is a lie! - no, not wearing makeup is a lie!” debate.

I’m kinda torn here.

Now, it’s just a theory, but considering Sapkowski has somewhat of an “arrogant asshole” reputation here in Poland (though obviously we consider him a national treasure as well), it seems to me that his negative attitude towards CDPR and the Witcher games in general may be partly due to the fact that they’ve captured…

Technically, you could only “queue” actions with Cooper (the gunslinger ability you’ve mentioned); for the rest of the team, you could only pre-program a single action. But it was still enough to execute some pretty nice western-like action sequences.

Well, the whole genre - Commandos, Desperados, Robin Hood, Chicago 1930, Star Trek: Away Team (does anyone remeber this one?) etc. - is notoriously hard to describe. They’re not puzzle games, although there’s a lot of sandbox-style puzzles (almost always there’s at least a few radically different approaches to any…

It may seem silly, but for me personally this is probably the best video game-themed news I’ve heard all year. Back in the day, Desperados was my favourite game of the genre (better level design, both gameplay-wise and artistically, than Commandos 1 or 2, a more interesting cast of characters, and unlike Commandos the…

That’s honestly in the top5 good news for this year. World is a much friendlier place with Fahey back at the keyboard.

Spintires: MudRunner.

And a Two Thrones reboot... In general, I wish they had enough money/manpower to do what TCA is apparently trying to do with the Total War formula - smaller, narrower, more focused games set in a more specific framework.

I mean, *technically* the headline’s right. Deadpool can indeed fuck off, if he wants to, in a time and place of his choosing. I doubt if he does, but still.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Rebellion quite a lot, but it’s far from a perfect Star Wars game - in that it manages to simulate just a few of the things that make Star Wars great (interplanetary politics & warfare, the game of cat and mouse between an evil empire and the brave resistance fighters etc.). But if you want…

Yeah, nothing screams “I want to show off but I’ve no idea what I’m doing” louder than a matching pocket square. Ffs, just don’t use one if you don’t know how, there’s nothing wrong today with not wearing one at all (which is a shame, but still, an empty front pocket is better than this atrocity).

You definitely shouldn’t tuck your tie underneath your vest. It’ll get all sweaty.

I’d go for Dragonfall instead of Hong Kong. The ending is much better, and overall the plot is arguably better written. Agree on the general sentiment and the rest of the list tho.

The skill in HS is understanding why you’d be better off playing a better game.
