When the gates opened on the World of Warcraft: Forever beta, it was a free-for-all. Everyone fought to be the first to “tag” enemies with their attacks so they would count for their quests—a problem that is essentially obsolete in modern WoW. My memories of doing this in the real classic WoW came flooding back…
Lego announced a city builder called Lego Skylines last month and we all collectively said: “Oh yeah, duh.” A landscape of colorful bricks snapping together into a metropolis from the godlike perspective we already view our real life Legos just makes sense. Hold on, what about the brand I affectionately refer to as “digital Legos”?…
Bungie’s new leadership duo laid out the “next chapter of Bungie” today in a blog post with an accompanying video. The big news is that Bungie has essentially uncanceled Destiny 2, or will at least go the lengths to finally undo its greatest mistake: vaulting a bunch of raids and multiple of its story campaigns….
Los Santos Customs I’m modding GTA 5 every day in a quest to either transform it into a PC version of GTA 6 or break it entirely. Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I’ve done to Rockstar’s baby, or check out what I got up to earlier. It might feel minnowish…
While I’ve been pleased to watch Capcom begin teasing out previews of the expanded monster roster we’ll face in Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, its returning Elder Dragons have left me with a persistent feeling that something’s still missing—something utterly detestable and unsettlingly phallic. Thankfully, that hole in my life has been filled. Over the weekend,…
As someone who spent a lot of their childhood talking to trees, I’m of the opinion that videogame forestry doesn’t need to look any better than Alan Wake 2‘s Pacific Northwest woodlands. That hasn’t stopped AMD from innovating though; by leveraging ‘tetrahedral cages’ to help render a vast scene of greenery, researchers at the company…
World of Warcraft: Forever has a nice little toggle that lets you switch between Classic’s old-school models and Retail’s newer, shinier ones. But which one are you using? Personally, I’m sporting the HD models. The big braided mohawk style on trolls just looks so much better. You can see a little comparison of my current…
I swore I’d never become this evil “I think there are some genuine wrinkles in MoP: Remix, for sure. I’d like to see the shared XP buff thing return, for example—but the frog farming is only a problem if you view the event as a competitive experience, which it isn’t designed to be.”– me, May…
I’m calling it here—this is as bad as it’s gonna get. Insomniac’s Wolverine has been getting slapped around a fair bit because it’s perhaps the summit, the zenith—of ‘how much handholding can you put in a game before we all get sick of it’. And listen, I’ve actually defended yellow paint on this site before….
My God, they’ve done it. We’re finally in the era when videogame movies can actually be good. Not just good for a videogame movie, or “It’s good, but here are 50 caveats.” It’s simply brilliant. And Resi’s lovably feckless protagonist Bryan is the primary reason. But before I dive in, I need to warn you…
