Random video game news... the critical eyes have it

I never understood the difference between Abort and Fail. Both meant your job didn't get done, no? -

Like stomach ache after too much pizza, hours of gameplay are ephemeral. Unlike the living one, who transcends hours of gameplay and will live again On WINGS OF FIRE... No, that's not right... ... ... Will be reborn. That's it! The Living One will be reborn ON WINGS OF FIRE. -

It is difficult to get Hawaiian over here. Otherwise 9-15 euros for a normal sized 8 slice pepperoni depending on where you get it (delivery, which delivery, restaurant, which restaurant) -

I now compare it to the price of pizza and the grief my stomach will give me , now that I am over 40 and a late pizza plays hell on my metabolism. -
I think it is great when hidden characters get unique dialogue in scenes that aren't specific to them.

I never managed to punish myself to read as far into the Horus Heresy as to encounter Jaghatai Khan. The books get so terrible bad, and the words in them inconsequential, I prefer watching paint dry.

No branching and no real surprises. It's a pretty straightforward story. They added a couple of twists, and one of them I didn't see coming. At least not the way it did. But the story itself held no surprises. The sponsors are irrelevant to the story. It is just a secondary upgrade system, where at each game threshold you get to choose between three rewards. First choice is 1000xp or 3 medkits or 3 frag grenades. Later a choice is between a 10% melee damage boost for all characters or a unique implant for the main character or... can't remember. So just small boosts. Play the game once, you have seen everything and unlocked everything. For people who like xcom style gameplay and running man like plots, this is a recommendation if you get it at a price you are okay paying for 15 hours of gaming time. Because unless you say you want to play the exact same content a second time, you won't get more playtime out of it. There is only a handful of arenas where you have enough choices of characters to play them with a different line up.

I finished Showgunners. Overall a positive experience, with only a few minor points of criticism based on personal preferences. It is a turn based tactics game made by the people behind Hard West and Phantom Doctrine, where the player takes the role of Scarlet, a contestant in a Runningman style reality TV game show. The game has 7 "episodes", as the show follows the protagonist over a span of a week. Each episode has the player explore a map, avoiding traps, fighting minor ambushes, signing autographs. and entering combat arenas for the large highlight battles of the show. There is nothing random in the episodes - the ambushes and other surprises are scripted. Between episodes the player rests at a hub location, where they can interact with team mates and npcs. The plot is predictable but works. The combat is fun. Character progression has you spending points to unlock bonuses and abilities, but at max level everything will be unlocked - you choose the order in which you unlock, not what. You also unlock sponsors based on your fame and personality. The choice of sponsors is the only thing that really changes between playthroughs. A playthrough is around 15 hours. I would have liked each episode to have had a named mini boss instead of simply introducing a new enemy type. I would have liked npc contestants at the hub, to better show how others are participating in the show. I find it silly they went out of their way to make one character Ukrainian.

Why? They were all idiots or crybabies. Except for those who were idiot crybabies.

Honestly, the best thing about World of Warcraft was that at the time they used very simple graphics to make the game look pretty, compared to a lot of other MMOs that went for amazing but ran crap on a lot of people's hardware. -
