Vanguard in the first Mass Effect isn't anything remarkable, although you get access to Warp/Throw and Pistols which is basically all you need for that game. ME2 is where Vanguards really come into their own with biotic charge and shotgun synergy. And ME3 Vanguards are basically telehacks.

Liara is the most OP squadmate in ME1 because she gets access to Singularity, the most OP ability in the game that you can also give to yourself as an Adept.

what kinds of anime are we talking? Like, is it just big tittied anime ladies in ridiculous outfits and lots of bad dialogue or is it Dragon Ball Z with cool beam attacks?

I wonder how many of those entitlements became people who bought anything else. There must be a fair few who have an Epic account solely for the freebies.

Some of the indie studios seem to have been done real dirty by this deal.

I don't really know about that unless you think the creators of Abzu were gonna make $150,000 off the Epic Store four years after the game's release.

Diablo 3 is excellent because the experience is totally malleable as to whether you want to steamroll GR90s in under 2 minutes or graduate to a bullet hell shooter in upper solo GR.

I'm sympathetic to people who are extremely spoiler-sensitive, but I do wonder if this sort of insistence that even relatively minor reveals are "spoilers" is making it impossible to write decent criticism, even if you're trying to be positive. You have to be so vague that you can't really say anything at all. It's not even just publisher review embargo restrictions, though that's certainly a big part of it (I'm sure stifling criticism is the whole point), but also the way people react if you "spoil" something in a review.

I guess it's easy for me to say because I'm not particularly sensitive to spoilers.

I have to restrain myself from looking too intensely at game trailers because I'll eventually start to figure out all the twists ahead of time.

D2's entire endgame is completely alien and offputting to anybody who grew up in this century, like you'll read a guide saying "starting a trapsin is easy, all you do is let your bot farm Pindleskin all day while you're at work until you get an HFT and find an Ith rune for an Enigma, then another 12 hours at Baal for a Shako."

Games should have stories that can stand up to the barest scrutiny

Stories in narrative video games are generally okay. Meandering, highly derivative and often nonsensical, but so is a lot of literary fiction and nobody seems to mind. Even total trash these days generally has at least some grasp on characters, plot structure, and maybe even a vision of a theme they're trying to get across. The biggest issue with video game storytelling is how much time and dialogue are completely WASTED on totally flat exposition. Like 50% of all game scripts are just people telling you what to do and other stuff that happened. It's embarrassing!

Oh ok I just thought it would be as bad as going from a 60fps to a 30fps game in terms of overall frame speed difference

The difference between 90fps and 60fps is much less perceptible than 60fps versus 30fps, with diminishing returns the higher you go. Past a certain point it's better to have a consistent framerate than a higher average.

I finally had some time to start RE 8age and I'm really drawn in despite not really having any strong feelings toward RE7 or RE2make. Game looks freaking amazin' on PC, all settings maxed out with ray-tracing enabled and my system is still pulling a clean 120fps. How do you do it Capcom! I've been really busy with work so hopefully I get enough time to finish it.

It feels more action-ey and RE4-ey to me than 7 which is drawing me in as well. Still haven't played 7 all the way through- might restart it after I finish this.

Yeah I would say out of any Resident Evil game made in the last 20 years it's the most similar to RE4 in the gameplay, look and tone. Ethan is like the dumbest most non-observant person alive, it's hilarious.

If you don't want to have complicated taxes then I recommend never owning or renting out property, never having any source of income other than a fixed salary, never having children, and ESPECIALLY never starting your own business of any kind. So far so good!

it is actually a british thing, hard cider is way less popular in the states, although they keep trying to make it happen

This was one of the long-lasting effects of Prohibition. Applejack was one of the most popular liquors in America during the 18th and 19th centuries, Prohibition caused all the major producers to go into non-alcoholic juice and cider production which ended up being far more lucrative, and they never came back after it was repealed.

I think after the failure of Fallout 76 people were just eager to slap "the true successor to New Vegas" on anything from Boyarsky and Cain, but the Outer Worlds felt like a game made by people who had been entirely out of practice in the industry for 10 years. Which it was.
