Amazing that they even write an entire article, because a Wii U was sold. I had to check the date if this is April Fool's day. It's a retro console and maybe they wanted save it. Or want to download roms to play for free on it (as the shop is not supported anymore) for authentic experience, instead emulating it. It was probably very cheap too.

This could either be really good or horrifically awful. However unlike The Witcher show, I feel like it has better chances. Source material doesn't matter too much in that V's story can be pretty dynamic with how its told and The Witcher has a very linear story line and strongly solidified characters.

Adapting existing stories and changing them has to be done really well for people to appreciate it and The Witcher just didn't have this going for it. 2077 on the other hand has so many places it could go, characters that we've yet to meet. I mean really they have all the options as long as the dialogue and delivery is done well.

It doesn’t have to be V’s story. Like Edgerunners proved, you can tell a successful Cyberpunk 2077 story without retelling the same story.

Megaman_EXE, do gaming w Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty almost corrects the past

Well I guess now is as good as any to finally try the game again. I was one of the foolish people that had fallen for the initial hype of the game. Tried it on launch day and was insanely disappointed. Time to go find a cheap used copy

sculd, do gaming w It shouldn’t be this hard to play old Armored Core games

haha…I play AC3 Last Raven on my PSP Its going to break my hand

xNIBx, do gaming w Palia is the perfect game for chill vibes, either alone or co-op

This mmo might become a big hit. It is basically animal crossing/stardew valley/sims but on an mmo setting. The graphics/artstyle are decent and the monetization doesnt seem that bad(only cosmetic and only clothes atm).

yads, do games w Kickstarter rival Backerkit exits beta on the heels of a successful Gloomhaven campaign | Polygon

I didn’t realize backerkit was a Kickstarter rival. I always thought they were like a companion to them.

Aurenkin, do games w PS2’s Two Towers was the coolest way to miss the whole point of the Lord of the Rings

To be honest as awesome as this game was I just want a new Battle for Middle Earth game.

Mutelogic, do games w PS2’s Two Towers was the coolest way to miss the whole point of the Lord of the Rings

Good write up! It certainly made me nostalgic for the games of that era.

Cqrd, do games w PS2’s Two Towers was the coolest way to miss the whole point of the Lord of the Rings

I expected this to be bashing from the title, but it took a pleasant turn. Makes me want to play the game now.

mooseknee, do gaming w Warhammer’s upcoming fantasy RTS is simple, sleek, and thrilling

As a lover of RTS games, I am cautiously excited. A friend and I were talking the other day and we came to a realization that might sound mundane. Some of the things we miss about older games (specifically RTS) is that balance is so much more important now that a lot of the time, character and uniqueness get lost. If things aren’t as close to perfectly balanced as possible, gamers get real angry. There were some truly unbalanced RTS games that were incredibly fun. Battle for Middle Earth had some great mechanics that were incredibly fun, but I don’t many would say those games were balanced lol

HappyMeatbag, do gaming w BattleTech community closes ranks to support the creators of an LGBTQ fanzine

But users pushed back, noting among other things that the existence of queer people is not a political issue at all — their erasure, however, is.

Best line in the article.

I’ve been seeing them at Best Buy now too.

commander, do games w Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?

No. They aren’t available widespread enough off the Internet, not marketed enough, too heavy. Maybe a hypothetical future Switch 2 and Switch Lite
