Well, at least we the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV which has free trial and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime.

The Olympics are just tournament arcs anyway.

I think LeVar Burtan is a very good fit, if not the best replacement for Alex. I figure the only real reason against having him is his age. Not saying he’s old, but he’s getting there, and the studio may be wanting a younger host to hold the mantle for as long as possible. 

Vergil still has a shot.

Just when I thought Florida couldn’t reach a new low.

I always do a double take when I see real life things in video games (like Link wearing Switch t-shirt), but this sings way better than a product placement.

No. I’m pretty sure he caught a virus.

What’s an online only multiplayer game that hasn’t had a botched launch? Knockout City? Is that the only one? Really?

It would not surprise me in the slightest if story in a Battlefield game was an afterthought.

When asked about his large stash of manga he’s collected through the years, Hoshino remarked he hid it in one piece.

Reminds me when Metallica played live music on Twitch and was muted for playing Metallica music I guess. It really seems like they have no idea what they’re doing or how to follow their own rules, which is insane considering Amazon’s backing Twitch.

I recognize the name Suzie Yeung. She plays the new character Eula in Genshin Impact. She did a... okay job in that role. Which is probably what the direction was going for since her character has a different, weirdly stilted way of speaking because of the character’s upbringing. I hope Yuffie allows her to more…

I remember reading stories about why people leaving China fear speaking out against the Chinese government, since that could endanger the livelihoods of the relatives who stayed back. In the same vein, I hope the IGN staff stay safe. I can only imagine making strong statements against armed extremists will result in…

Slim version when? 

While I doubt this is the whole picture, it’s interesting to know how a big company like Epic values others. And also how certain companies value themselves and their games. It’s like seeing the back and forth negotiation of someone trying to sell their car or house, but in this case it’s how much money can cover…

From my understanding of Yoko Taro, he loves it when people sexualizes his characters. Even more if people make lewds of his characters and send it to him in a zip file. And looking at the character design of Kaine, it checks out.

In regards to Genshin Impact updates, I wouldn’t call it “unhealthy” for developers. Most people would actually call these updates unsubstantial and lazy at its worst since they don’t really add all that much. I’m pretty sure 1.6 is the same deal even with the housing system added. The game will now have a side…

Correction. While it’s true there’s a very small chance to get Venti on the Venti character banner, but there is ZERO chance to get Venti on other character banners or the normal banner. The only time people can get Venti is now or whenever Mihoyo decides to rerun his character banner again.

Their next game is probably going to be in like 5-7 years. This really means nothing until they actually create a deadline.

The most important part of any jump is landing. It doesn’t matter how high or fast you are unless you stick the landing. That said, Tony Hawk Pro Skater has the best jumps, because being able to stick the landing of a jump after a bajillion tricks is so so satisfying.
