I've put in ~20 hours too, and I agree. The game has turned into a series of fetch quests and I'm less invested. I have to bring a potential companion some "asprin" for their hangover before they join my party? Yawn.

Why do I care about getting this guy's poster, or this bartender's jerseys? What does this have to do with worldbuilding?

I think this is a fundamental problem with RPGs featuring tabula rasa characters: developers l...

You have to upgrade you rmedical stat and add more items into your inhaler, so that when you heal (deafault "F" key), you will get all the buffs associated with the items packed into your inhaler.

I think the rhyming was a valiant attempt to do something different from a narrative standpoint. i can appreciate the effort.

It's the sequence breaking that annoyed me. I generally like to see everything that there is to see in one playthrough, or two. This game requires up to 20 to get all the lore!

I bought my gaming laptop with a 1060 last fall.

One of the best purchases I have ever made.

Gross. All of those are multiplatform.

With the characters the writer discusses, I wonder if there is brown exoticism at play.

It is indeed an excellent game. The System Shock remake and any other games of its genre have a lot to live up to.

Resident Evil 7 is currently on sale for 25% off on Steam. I have not checked PSN or Xbox Live. There are still people purchasing the game.

in terms of audience, IDK...I did a review of Yomawari: Night Alone while it was still a new release on Steam, but it failed to publish. Sometimes, a review does better when it's late.

When you go to tournaments, you see mostly male audiences because women gamers do not gravitate toward competitive games. They're playing a lot of RPGs though.

I'll approve your clickbait, but as BrandanT said, we all know that it's not a canon Metroid, and Nintendo is skipping a generation without giving us a proper sequel.

(and I actually enjoyed Other M...that was 2010!!!)

"One of the best things about doing videos as well as written pieces is the fact that I can explain some games better through video than through a written piece."

I gave your article an approval only because I support the existence of video game reviews, but I couldn't disagree with this sentence more, especially if you are going to say something like:

"Just because you play a lot of games doesn't make you a game reviewer. Just as h...

My personal policy, and the one that I exercise with my team, is that it is almost always necessary to finish the main quest of the game before writing a review.

The "main quest" varies by genre. For example, in Gran Turismo, there is no concrete race or circuit to determine this (though a few do roll credits after finishing). A game that goes on forever like Prison Architect at least includes a tutorial that acts like a story.

HOWEVER, I wrot...

Censorship or a correction in bad character design?

The Witcher 3 season pass will be the one that all games will be judged.

The Fallout franchise is, and especially with FO4 has been, moving toward an open world sandbox where the story is an afterthought.

It seems to me that the Wii U was Nintendo's attempt to blend the console with the tablet concept, but they never got the plane off the runway due to low sales. We know little about the NX and can only speculate; your article appears to argue that Nintendo is doubling down on what they started with the Wii U.

It's on my game of the year list alongside doom and OverWatch. And those were developed by AAA Developers with absurd resources. That's an accomplishment
