The secrecy must be unrewarding, but it’s the best defense against lawsuit-happy IP holders. When word of mouth begins to spread, you better be ready to release and run because it’s only a matter of time before Nintendo’s lawyers start gunning for you.
Yes it seems Bridgy Fed is opt-in for pretty much everything, so using a fediverse account to access bluesky content is not really an option.
That’s barely 15 months of console exclusivity for a flagship title. Sony’s getting there with PC releases as time goes on.
Reminds me of Guns of Icarus, but on land and extraction shootery.
Sure this is about protecting their bottom line. However the argument that this contradicts the Apple vs Epic verdict seems sound.
Pretty original mix of brawler and tower defense, with a presentation reminiscent of Okami. Avaiable on Game Pass and has a demo on Steam.
Like its predecessor, it’s basically “2D XCOM with skill shots instead of randomness”. Highly recommended, perfect for gaming on the go with a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch.
Phenomenal game, if a bit short. And another impeccable PS5 to PC port from Nixxes.
OMG it’s finally happening !
He’s well liked because he came from the trenches and has a good track record of knowing his shit. When compared with the likes of Kotick or Guillemot, it’s a breath of fresh air (despite being such a low bar). However as one of the highest execs in the entire gaming industry, this is the kind of stuff he does all year long.
Plus you know, his public-facing image is well curated and people like it.
Nostalgia drive engaged !
The Crusader series (No Remorse, No Regret) could have been built upon, with its famously cheesy live-action cutscenes.
The Quarantine series disappeared after its second installment, Road Warrior. Come to think of it, most mainstream vehicular combat games went away, like the Interstate series.
The Discworld adventure games (1, 2, Noir) were famously convoluted, but they did a pretty good job of adapting Pratchett’s world into video games.
Finally I would have liked to play the initially planned sequels to Advent Rising. I have (probably rose-tinted) fond memories of that game, but hey, you asked.
Since you enjoyed BG3, I’d strongly recommend Divinity: Original Sin 1&2 if you have not played them already.
Other than that, a few random suggestions with sizeable coop campaigns:
In the space hulk og board game and most video game adaptations, Space Marines die very quickly to genestealers and such.
Even in the first SM game, the resilience came from doing melee executions (akin to glory kills from doom) which triggered health regen. And you were not even immune to damage during the animation !
Yeah, that’s PR-speak for “our game design and/or performance does not scale well to more than 3 players”.
In the middle of their marketing blitz they try and cover all their bases I guess.
Same here. My main issues with Anthem were the technical issues at launch and that they abandoned it so fast.
I really enjoyed the gameplay and visuals. I sometimes fire it up again, only to find I already know pretty much all this game has to offer.
A bit of an acquired taste, but the entire Earth Defence Force series can be played split screen (2P only). The best entry point into the series is EDF 5 (story reboot, QoL tweaks) which is often deeply discounted. Plus its direct sequel EDF 6 just released in the west last month
I did multiple playthroughs, over ~150h. I do not expect to return to it, now that EDF6 is out. It reaaaaaally resembles EDF5. From what I have seen thus far, it could be called an “expandalone”. There is much more difference between EDF4.1 and EDF5 than EDF5 and EDF6
It’s really good but like 30% too long for my taste. I had to push myself forward to complete it.
Guild Wars 2 has been my theme park MMORPG of choice on and off for the last 12 years, with >2500h. I have also spent ~1000h on Elite Dangerous.
