    Blizzcon 2018, Major announcments on Friday. Highlight being something new for Diablo.

    Well...you got it. I just don't think it's what you were hoping for. It certainly wasn't for me.

    Yahtzee nailed it (Games that beat me)

    For me, it was Far Cry 5. I think I got about two-thirds of the way through it before I got tired of getting kidnapped every time the game wanted to dump some story. I mean, I despised getting interrupted every time my resistance meter gained another level. I'm just minding my own...

    Mass Effect Andromeda is abandoned by EA. A big warning sign for the "Games as a Service" Culture.

    I don't quite agree. I imagine that they way they see it, they can afford to half-ass most of their games, because they have the license to make FIFA, NBA2K, and Madden; if their other games don't sell, they don't give a shit because they know that their sports games will. If their other...

    Blizzard Launches Public Test Realm for Warcraft 3

    Fantastic! Maybe now they'll fix the missing building summoning animations. My Night Elf and Undead armies' buildings just materialize out of thin air whenever they're being built, and I can't figure out how to fix it. It drives me insane.

    A reflection; is Overwatch a good GAME?

    Except when I'm standing on top of a building, or on one of Volskaya's floating platforms. Or jumping off of a launch pad on Oasis. Pharah is hardly the only character who exists on a 3D plane; anyone else who is smart enough to find the high ground also exists on a 3D plane. It's not very...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Now Has More Concurrent Players than All But Two Games on Steam

    That's the primary reason why I haven't picked up PUBG myself. It looks to me like a buggy, unpolished mess that people only play because it scratches an itch that nothing else does. I'd love to play a game like it, but one with decent production values that PUBG just doesn't have right now.

    Doomfist's Rocket Punch Gets a Quick Nerf in Overwatch

    But it is unusual for Overwatch, at least. I'd have to do some research, but I'd wager that there's less than ten times that Blizzard has made a change to something that was already on the PTR. They nerfed Orisa on the PTR before she went live, they changed Mercy's staff to give a 50% damage...

    Doomfist's Rocket Punch Gets a Quick Nerf in Overwatch

    It's also worth noting that Blizzard rarely makes changes to game balance on the PTR. In most cases, what you see on the PTR will be what you get on live servers, so to see something nerfed on the PTR so quickly is noteworthy. Besides, Doomfist had no right to be as mobile, tough, and...

    Bioware Says Anthem is "Science Fantasy" Like Star Wars, Not Hardcore Sci-Fi

    Ten years? Unless God Himself descends from the heavens and declared Anthem to be The Greatest Game of All Time, it probably won't even be relevant two years after launch. But in all honestly, it will depend on how good the game is...and how good Destiny 2 will be by comparison. And...

    Ubisoft's Skull & Bones Will Also Include a Story Campaign

    Well, Ubisoft said the same thing with For Honor, and we all know how that turned out. I guess we'll wait and see.

    Twitch Grabs the Rights to Blizzard Tournaments, Adds Twitch Prime Loot for Overwatch

    Okay, the Golden lootbox is borderline insulting. There's no guarantee that the legendary item I get won't be a duplicate, and for many who have been playing since the beginning, the odds of that happening is pretty high. I defended Blizzard's lootboxes in the beginning, but they've since...

    Bioware's New IP is Shared-World Action-RPG Anthem

    Why should I play this game when Warframe is a thing? Whelp, I need to go dig a grave for Bioware. They've finally completely lost me.

    Overwatch Anniversary Kicks Off with New Skins, Dances, and New Arena Maps

    Translation: "This is the most expensive event we've put out yet. All of the new skins are Legendary, so good luck grinding out enough coins to get them all! Also, the dance emotes are event-locked and 750 coins each. Fuck you, pay me." Yeah. This is definitely the event I'm gonna skip.

    Destiny 2 to Ditch Grimoire Cards, Keep Lore In-Game

    To clarify, I'm talking something like WoW's Raid Finder. You enter your character class, your spec, and your experience level and it enters you into a database that groups can look through if they need to fill a spot in a raid. You can also post your group and the things you need, and people...

    Destiny 2 to Ditch Grimoire Cards, Keep Lore In-Game

    And nothing of value was lost. Hell, I would've been okay with them giving us a way to access them in-game, but I'm totally fine with them ditching Grimoire cards completely. I wonder if this means that they're gonna include a more traditional in-game codex instead. Now all they need is...
