The faster the entire industry unionizes, the faster douchebags in the vein of Bobby Kotick can stop grinding people into dust, firing them, and pocketing 30 million dollars a year...

I couldn’t disagree more; Odyssey is a game obsessed with handing over the only reward it can (moons) for things as inane as “look over this ledge” or “kick this one rock.” The less the game design world copies from that game the better we’ll all be.

Unless it’s his movement, or the camera. Both of those things were…

All those images of taking cover and popping shots reminds me....Kill.Switch was a damn fine and innovative game.

This really can’t be said enough – Fuck Nintendo.

‘Paras torments players in Pokémon Legends: Arceus’ is also on the list, so the fact there’s also a slide about actual murder means this list is very loose on the word “scary”.

A 25-page slideshow is the scariest thing of all.

- James Sunderland: A completely shitty person who’s quest is the realization of how terrible he is and then not being redeemed for it. Not actually a wife guy.

All their games are running on the RE engine right now. 

Lmao you don’t even know what you’re playing if you think the “vanilla,” version doesn’t already have a heavy dose of anime in its DNA. You think those motorcycles and katana came from…western influences?

Isn’t Schreier basically just a leaker too? Is the NDA the difference here morally or do people just like him better?

Or just take the sex scenes out. They add nothing and feel abusive. If the dramatic value of a sex scene is the characters’ reactions (and it always is), we don’t need to see the cause. The story can just cut ahead to later. It worked in the past and it still does. Who are the filmmakers trying to gratify with these sc…

If you haven’t played Disney Magical World yet, I recommend trying that out, too. It is more of a grind than this game, but I think I prefer its “carrot on a stick” being about collecting all the outfits, making all the food items, meeting all the characters, etc. It feels like it has more personality than Dreamlight…

Dude, Blood and Wine takes place 3 years after the ending of the main campaign

No way, I have an absolutely killer PC and would still prefer to do my recreational gaming on my Xbox (or other console) 100% of the time. I sit at this PC, in my office, for at least 40 hours a week. I just do not want to engage with it when I’m off the clock. I thought wiring an HDMI through the wall, so I could…

Alone in the Dark 08 is a very underrated and ambitious game I think. More people should play it. It had amazing physics, full featured 1st and 3rd person, drivable vehicles, semi-open world... It was close to being my ideal horror game and it was actually similar to the early concepts of Alan Wake, before it went…

It’s also not even as simple as just saying “oh, they both offer streaming for price X, streaming-box-check”. There’s a lot of nuance to how seamlessly the streaming is integrated in Game Pass that makes it really attractive. There are very few games I’d ever want to play all the way through on streaming. But the…

Someone told me that they use the same infrastructure now for their cloud gaming. Not sure how accurate that is.

Why is it odd to see a fighting game top the list? I don’t love everything about the Deck, but one of the best uses for it has been to grind practice mode or ranked matches in fighting games, at least in the ones that aren’t blocked by lack of compatibility or anti-cheat software.

“Batgirl employs some Witcher-style “investigating,” meaning that you press a button to automatically illuminate a path of footprints that show you exactly where you need to go.”

For my money I think Critical Role, Harmonquest, and Deborah Ann Woll’s several various games, and of course Stranger Things, did a lot more to bring it to the forefront of people’s brains again, and introduced it to a bunch of people who’d never played before. Wife and I watched Harmonquest and I ended up having a…
