    Arkane PREY - Arkane's immersive coffee cup transformation sim - now with Mooncrash roguelike mode DLC

    To be fair, it's more like the last third (maybe even quarter?) of the game. But yeah, that whole final part was pretty weak.

    Do you ever have anything of substance to say, except old game = good, new game = bad?

    Alpha Protocol

    If the game was made by anyone else, it wouldn't be talked about, as the only things good about it are its writing, C&C, and atmosphere - all of which are entirely CA and Obsidian. As it stands, the game is a janky, though memorable, entry that still largely hasn't been topped in terms of sheer...

    KickStarter Mechajammer (formerly Copper Dreams) - cyberpunk RPG from Whalenought Studios

    Immersive Sims

    Why the hell do people keep insisting that VTMB is an Immersive Sim? It's a clear-cut example of an RPG. Yes, you have multiple ways of approaching most objectives, but there's no emergent gameplay (a core part of any true Immersive Sim) that allows you to, for example, stack boxes so that you...

    Eternity Josh Sawyer reflects on his failures with Pillars of Eternity

    While I generally appreciate JS, it's always fascinating to see how his autism prevents him from missing the obvious reasons elements of his games don't really work. The main reason why PoE 1 and 2 weren't as popular with the nostalgia crowd is not down to the retro design choices themselves...

    People News Chris Avellone wins settlement after lawsuit over sexual assault accusations

    Textbook case of Cognitive Dissonance. Normal people can change their minds when presented with enough strong evidence. Ideologues such as these, on the other hand, can't admit to that - as it would invalidate too much of their core beliefs.

    People News Chris Avellone wins settlement after lawsuit over sexual assault accusations

    He almost certainly won't. Knowing him, he's just happy this is all over (of course, it's far from done when it comes to his future working prospects, which are still up in the air), and going on a suing spree would probably just result in him losing the good faith he managed to win back with...

    People News Chris Avellone wins settlement after lawsuit over sexual assault accusations

    The Gamer was the worst of them, as Sean Murray wrote that he drugged and raped countless women. I think that this is the toned-down version of the article, as the original was even crazier. Speaking of unhinged wackjobs, Jim Sterling, that miserable fat fuck, also noted in one of his videos...

    The Wolf Among Us - Fables Telltale adventure game

    And what a glorious QTE-infested, your-choices-matter-but-not-really time it was!

    Best Larian game?

    Personally - Divinity II: Ego Draconis. It's the only Larian game where the humor worked (at least some of the time), and the game was often charming and fun without being obnoxious (like their later titles). Also, while the story was never its high point, at least it had a clear goal and you...
