Played: Shadow of the Tomb Raider Finished: Nothing Playing: Shadow of the Tomb Raider Added: Nothing When I was compiling this week’s game release list, I saw that Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is coming out October 11th. It’s one of my most anticipated games of the year, I even said that it could...

Are you sure you want to play that? "A word of caution should be given regarding the difficulty, since both regular enemies and bosses can prove to be quite hard to beat, especially during the final act." https://rpgamer.com/review/ender-lilies-quietus-of-the-knights-review/ I’m still int...

My ears don't pop up in high alert about too much in gaming or life, but I've always had a thing about respecting creator freedom, be it the written word, film, games or art of any other kind. We don't have to like what others create, and of course we're free to criticize, but to desire or expect t...

I’ve been wanting that game for a while now, I’ve been waiting for it to go on sale. Cool box art BTW.

Books are not passive experiences. The engagement is on a mental level rather than mechanical, that's all. Just because you learned to read on a fundamental level as a child, does not mean that concepts and explorations of ideas are within your reach simply because the words on the page registered ...

Yes, phase, I know you're pro accessibility. You've made that repeatedly clear. :P But my question was. would you omit an element that you saw as integral or cater to the crowd's voice?

Elden Ring (or FROM games) are not even close to the first to omit difficulty options. Many earlier games were "you get what you get and you don't pitch a fit". Of course I know that FromSoftware games aren’t the first to omit difficulty settings in them, but they’re some of the ones to h...

The difficulty is a fundamental part of Elden Ring. The struggle that people have shared is what kept that game in people's minds for months, which is evident by the amount of YouTube videos, etc. that people have made & continue to make about it. Compare that to Horizon: Zero West which came o...

One of my bigger gripes is with gamers who feel entitled to bitch and moan about a game not being what they want it to be. Well, if you don't like it, play something else or make your own damn game. No creator is obligated to do anything except what they are moved to make. But the sense of entitlem...

I'm not an advocate for difficult games. I am, however, a staunch supporter of creative authenticity and liberty. I do enjoy a good challenge oftentimes in gaming, but my own preferences have nothing to do with how I feel about this issue. Any creative work ought not be influenced by the crowd, the...
