It looks fairly accurate when compared to the mapbook approved by George.

Wow that looks really good. Might finally have to pick up Gods & Kings. And probably become hopelessly addicted to this game again...

Do we know if these can be used in conjunction with the normal rulers as well or does the mod override them? AKA Can I have Robb as my ruler and do battle with Cleopatra?

Wonder if Tywin has a "Red Wedding" strategy move...

To access the Game of Thrones mod, you have to go through a special mods menu, where it then locks off the standard civs. If you load a save outside the mod however, the game will reinterpret the GoT Houses as the classic civs again (our Robb save was interpreted as Germany!)

Blizzard, 2K Games And More Formally Return To PAX East

PAX EAST has officially confirmed that Blizzard and 2K Games are amongst the bigger names attending the show. This would be two of the bigger names to return to live U.S. shows since the Covid Pandemic.

Good to hear. Past couple of years the show floor is getting smaller & smaller, with more space everywhere. Food truck trucks made their way on to the expo hall floor last year. Haven't seen that since 2012.

We stopped going to PAX West and let local team cover it. We could not justify airfare, rental car, food, hotel, etc for indies.

In Praise of Mafia III’s Voice Acting

Shaz from Pixel Swish: "The Mafia games have always excelled in storytelling and voice acting. Though Mafia 3 faltered in some gameplay aspects, its story and, particularly, voice acting are tremendous."

Mafia III had a great narrative and some truly incredible performances. The gameplay loop had its issues but the story, acting, world and atmosphere don't get nearly enough credit.

Profchaos92d ago

I loved the story elements butbfirnme the gameplay loop went behind issues it was utterly dull and it's structure was it's downfall.

Go to area of map disrupt business through open world shenanigans that feel extremely rinse and repeat many times until cutscenes and boss fight then repeat again

They had so much potential especially in the CIA angle but it was squandered.

I wish they could do it over and focus on the narrative like a more traditional GTA game

VivaChe92d ago

First few hours: "This game is incredible!"

Hour 10: "Wait, that's it? I'm going to be doing the same thing over and over for the rest of the game??"

2K Games Can Now Launch on Steam and Epic Without the 2K Launcher

As of November 25, the 2K launcher is no longer required in any 2K published games on either Steam of Epic Games Store.

1nsomniac200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

Much like Bethesda’s & Paradox’s, I never understood even the notion that these launchers should be required. Even from their own business perspective I could never even imagine someone purchasing a game through them and not being recognised as a hinderance more than anything else.
