Echoes of Aincrad Preview: Already an Anime-Styled Single-Player Action-RPG Delight - IGN If the single-player action-RPG Echoes of Aincrad can nail what it’s aiming for, it should, based on what we've played so far, be a chance for seasoned vets and newcomers alike to get into the Sword A...

Since it’s finally been announced: I got to play Sword Art Online: Echoes of Aincrad a couple weeks ago, and I wrote about the experience for @ign.com. It's very pretty, and also has the meanest wasps to ever appear in a video game, and I mean that as a compliment.

*Turns instantly into dust*

It'll be the one thing that won't be out before GTA6

Banana bread? At fucking *work* dude?! Hell yeah. Hell. Yeah!

It would be SO good. Such a weird looking hero suit, but it really grew on me.

I'm still bitter about the poll a while back where the G-Self won the popular vote to be the next ver. Ka kit but it hasn't manifested yet

CAN I GET A HELL YEAH?

Troll from Nightreign, standing on castle, holding a massive stone cauldron aloft over their head. Their eyes are glowing red and they look like sinewy, naked old men.

Saudi Arabia bought EVO. We can still fight for the FGC's soul On what the new change of ownership means for EVO and the Fighting Game Community, and what we can do about it.

I got real mad and wrote about EVO.

Honorable mention goes to Pusher.

A lot of folks have (rightly) offered up Requiem for a Dream, but no one has mentioned the somehow even more unsettling Irreversible.

Mission accomplished.

If I were really committed to the bit, I should've maxed out Familiarity before posting.

(But alas, I suck at Nioh)

Screenshot of the weapon detail screen from Nioh 3. The weapon displayed in bright yellow letters is called "Rusty Hoe" of uncommon rarity with marginal stats.

Oh man, that's so wild. I didn't realize that your mom had a cameo in Nioh 3:

Surely it ships with Jack Bros?!

The pressure to constantly update games is pushing the industry to a breaking point Live service games have trained players to expect a constant stream of new content, and only constant work can deliver it.

2019.

Motorsport! F1/Indy/NASCAR. Drag racing is turn-based tho, but specifically the gunblade mechanic from FFVIII

Baseball is extraction PvPvE

Cricket is turn based. Golf is an Idle clicker RPG.

I peeled it off clean, but it's going to have to get transplanted to my spray booth...adhesive stayed behind 😭

IT is replacing my old laptop this week; goodbye wonderful laptop stickers...I will miss you 🫡

Fuck AI, fuck ICE, and long live a free Puerto Rico.

Left Shark could never. What a phenomenal halftime show...the performance and the camerawork together were in, in my most earnest use of this phrase, next level.

That Dunkin Donuts commercial was so bad, the people of Boston should dump all their iced coffee in the harbor.

"Let's go live to the field to see how the coaches will adjust going into halftime!"

No. Let's go live to the NBC exec offices to figure out how the broadcast will adjust to a defense-heavy game.

"Bench Collingsworth! Bring in cross-faded Marshawn Lynch to the broadcast booth."

No Kings includes Draft Kings

The follow-up: Taki Udon on the SuperStation Dock, and more Quest 64 Recomp Two recent topics revisited with a bit more depth.

A shortie this issue, because I am a very tired boy

Here it is: A piece I've been working on since September. I spoke with a ton of folks from across the many eras of Fallout – from Tim Cain and Todd Howard to Jonathan Nolan and Walton Goggins – to tell the definitive oral history of Fallout bsky.app/profile/game...
