  • Very detailed and informative post as always! This is how video game journalism should be done.

    You’ve convinced me to give Death Standing another go. I bounced off of it 30 minutes in after the 20th minute of cut scenes but there seems to be more juice to it further in so I’ll power through another hour or two and see if I can’t find the hooks!







  • Software often loses its value compared with other newer better offerings that come out with time. I doubt very much anyone would pay $50 in 2025 for Heroes of Might and Magic 3, a very well regarded game released in 1999, that tons of people gladly paid the full $50 MSRP price for that year because it was cutting edge.

    The game is still great even today. It hasn’t changed one bit but people aren’t going to be willing to pay the same price for it today that they were willing to back in 1999 because there are more competing options with newer tech/ideas that have released since then. However it is consistently one of the top sellers on Good Old Games at around a price point of $5 today



  • I dunno, everything storywise starting with when they put in pandas has read like bad internet fanfic. I recall a blizzcon I went to they were showing the trailer for Battle of Azeroth. There was one scene where Sylvanas yelled “For da horde!” that instantly made me cringe. And then the crowd around me just went fuken wild and I knew I had to get out of there right now.

    That was my last and final blizzcon.
