Nathan Grayson's discussions

just to clarify: I never said linearity is bad! I just said that’s how this game is structured. it’s a series of paths that open up into combat arenas, as opposed to, say, a more exploration-heavy game full of secrets. bright memory does have collectibles, but they’re usually hidden in plain sight Read more

this is the only funny video on the entire internet

link, even though he’s kinda bad Read more

I ran out of patience for MMOs after I invested two years into being part of a hardcore raiding guild in WoW. also used to be a big time collectible card game person when I was young (regularly competed in yu-gi-oh (lol) and magic the gathering), but burned out on that *hard* and haven’t been interested since Read more

weird answer, but first thing that popped into my head was tales from the borderlands. not borderlands itself, mind you—tales from the borderlands, specifically Read more

curiosity. best way to find good stories is to be insatiably curious about people and why they do the things they do Read more

more games with nemesis systems! good ones, too--not phoned-in crap like the mercenaries system from AC Odyssey Read more

shake shake indeed, friend. shake shake indeed Read more

mostly music (decent singing, bad guitar-playing) and martial arts Read more

sonic adventure 2 would’ve also been acceptable answer btw Read more

you spelled undertale wrong, but that’s fine. we all have off days Read more

awww, that’s incredibly nice of you to say! hope things turn out better for you this year <3 Read more

I think we all process it differently, so I can only speak for myself. some days, I can just ignore it or tune it out, but other days, it really gets to me. when that happens, I generally find it healthiest to just step away from my computer and go outside for a bit.

there still hasn’t been another mischief makers game Read more

this is a good idea! I will say, though, that when a new entry IS a good starting point, we generally try to note that in reviews. in the case of AC specifically, I would say that odyssey actually is a good place to start, given that it’s pretty disconnected from the rest of the series for most of its duration Read more

big charm and pluck fan here--BIG fan--but... uncharted Read more

ours, easy. we headlined it with pictures of geralt for, like, a year. you don’t beat geralt in a rumble. he’s the best brawler in velen, novigrad, and skellige ffs! Read more
