Talking exclusively to BeefJack, Sword of the Stars 2 producer Chris Stewart expressed some strong opinions on claims by 2K President Christoph Hartmann that “strategy games are just not contemporary” – and revealed that if 2K don’t want to make a strategy X-COM title, Kerberos Productions would love to.
The XCOM Complete Game Bundle includes lots of DLCs and games playable on the Steam Deck. You can save over €220 on the 17-item bundle.
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.
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.
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
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??"
