I’m 7 hours into Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, but I haven’t even beaten the 2nd main story quest yet. I’m just running around, discovering sidequests, breaking into places I don’t belong, finding more sidequests, playing detective with names and passcodes I find, and finally beating sidequests (but not before finding more sidequests).

Oh man, I still look forward to playing Dark Souls 3. I had totally forgotten about that one! I also haven’t put my money down on Doom.

For me, so far I’ve loved Overwatch, Superhot, Uncharted 4 and Darkest Dungeon (although I technically started the game  in Early Access in 2015).

I feel like this is one of those times when if you just wait a little, the next article will have the information we don’t yet.

That makes sense. Features that break the game are generally not good design, I would venture to say, despite how controversial that may sound.

If the only problem is the balance, doesn’t that get fixed after the Beta? I mean, it’s one of the things a beta is built for.

Oh, no, I don’t know if I could pick a top favorite franchise.

Gun to my head: The Legend of Zelda franchise. It’s just been with me right from the start, and I’ve been with it from the start as well.

The runner ups include maybe Half-Life, Smash Bros, Metroid, Call of Duty (despite being burned out now, it was a large part of my gaming life),…[Read more]
