I only played the trial on EA Access but lifeless is definitely the vibe I got from it. Just the old game in an open world shell. But when the whole world is white walls and mirrors it's just kinda like…meh, this isn't pulling me in. Read more

Still working my way through Dark Souls. Got frustrated in the Tomb of the Giants because of the darkness and crawling skeletons and decided to try the Duke’s Archives instead. It’s like a maze in the most ironic way; everything looks so samey that it’s hard to remember where I was going. Read more

I sure wish the trailer and teaser weren’t so rapey. I know it’s part of the story, and an important part at that, but it’s sort of like the Barbara Gordon Joker cover controversy last year. We don’t need Caska’s rape sold to us again, we don’t need it to be a tool to sell a product, and it’s I think unfortunately… Read more

No Captain Marvel in trailer so I'm not yet interested. Also the inevitability of it running on the MK engine means I won't pick it up for two years, when it's on a Steam sale for $7.99, then I will play it once and never again as I did the first. Read more

I recently decided to go back to my child-with-a-Gameboy-and-a-copy-of-Mega-Man-Dr-Wily’s-Revenge-and-no-Internet roots and finally fling myself at Dark Souls in earnest. I picked it up a couple weeks ago. Started two 3-hour play through before a friend caught me and made me start a third one, with some pointers on… Read more

Lucky you. Read more

Only recently. Post-Christmas $50 price drop to $350, then rather than making that permanent, they went all-in and dropped the cheaper SKU down to $300 like a week ago.

I bought mine because at the time the PS4 and Xbone seemed equally shitty, but I liked the Xbone controller better, wanted to play Titanfall, figured everyone I knew had a 360 as their main unit and would also gravitate to Xbone. Then I bought it. All my friends bought the PS4 instead. The packed-in Xbone controller… Read more

Jim Sterling just did a good video about this yesterday (I believe) on his Jimquisition YouTube show.

Most of my friends and I only play Magic: The Gathering in a casual format. So we build decks that are composed of all sorts of different cards. And I built this life gain deck that could get pretty ridiculous. Anywho, I traded decks with a pal once and while he was playing my life gain deck against me, he got all the… Read more

Playedthe Mirror’s Edge EA Access trial for a while. It was definitely Mirror’s Edge. So eventually I stopped. Read more

Holy fuck. That’s the worst. Oh my god. It’s so tone deaf to the audience who already want it and who they need to be trying to reach. I mean, Jesus. Read more

Thank god. Read more

I sure would love for this to work out. At least based on all the people I pal around with, I’m in a minority, loving FFX. But I do love it, and I’ve considered buying it on Steam. Not that this 60fps issue would make or break that sale, but it sure would be a treat. Now, if Square could just get their shit together… Read more

I suppose nothing last forever, particularly something as potentially flash-in-the-pan’y as toy-based NFC-expansion games like this. It’s a shame, though. I’d always thought that if they just cooked up a game with a better...ya know, game...that I would look into picking it up. But I will say that, given Disney’s… Read more

Holy shit, that is gorgeous. Even in GIF form.

I haven’t disliked it; YouTube’s done a great job making me forget it even has a rating system most of the time. But I do find myself, I think, finally at the breaking point with this series. I’m not interested in their stupid space game anymore than I was interested in their last quasi-futuristic game. I’m not… Read more

So I said some years ago to anyone who’d listen that Call of Duty needed to evolve into a proper platform rather than a series of disconnected and quasi-experimental installments. This title would the right one for that idea. Read more

God I love Miles Morales. Read more

My god, what an entertaining and well-written thing to read. You're a clever writer, Nathan Grayson. Read more
