If you know any of my writing on this site, you know I've been just a wee bit critical of Dungeons & Dragons—while I did like the 2024 ruleset overall, I have larger structural issues that have more to do with Hasbro's bungling of just about everything—and the idea of D&D as a whole stagnating. The departure of long-standing talent and the layoffs haven't helped.Still, there's a glimmer of hope...
If I were writing the big book of maintaining morale, my number one rule for keeping the talent happy would be: don't threaten to take them to court. But those mavericks at Ubisoft have always done things their own way. According to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag voice actor Matt Ryan (who played protagonist Edward Kenway), Ubi was a tad miffed when he got loose-lipped about the unannounced Black Flag...
The best superhero TTRPG—ranked second in my list of 'tabletop games I cannot stop yapping about at every social function' next to Pathfinder 2e—is getting a new edition, and I could not be more excited to yap about it further.Alright, that might be a little unfair. There are plenty of good superhero TTRPGs out there that I've heard lots of good things about (Mutants & Masterminds, for example), but Masks:...
In a note to developers, Itch.io founder Leaf Corcoran has confirmed that free adult content will be re-indexed on the platform, alongside a new content warning system. It follows the wholesale de-indexing of adult content on the indie game marketplace due to pressure applied by an anti-pornography lobby group on major credit card processors.Since Itch.io is much smaller than Steam, and is a user-generated content platform where material can be...
I wasn't excited about the Battlefield 6 announcement because I didn't think my aging PC would run it well. But that's not the case at all: the Battlefield 6 minimum requirements are definitely manageable, and even the recommended specs aren't too crazy.If you're rocking the six-year-old RTX 2060 with an i5-8400, and have at least 16GB RAM—which is basically essential, nowadays—then you'll be able to play Battlefield 6, or so...
The essential core of the democratic process is voting. A free, fair vote is not just essential, it is sacrosanct: Without it, everything else collapses like a house of cards. And that's why it's so disheartening to know that there are those among us who would prey upon our delicate democracy and twist it to serve their own selfish purposes. That's right, I'm talking about Digimon fans.Luckily, just as there...
I still remember the very first time I tried Team Fortress Classic's VIP mode, which was also called The Hunted. I spawned into my first match and saw that instead of a gun I was holding an umbrella. I was the VIP! Hell, yes! But also: Oh, no!In TFC VIP, one player was the 10th class, the Civilian (because VIP and The Hunted weren't enough names for him, I guess),...
Battlefield 6 has made its debut, with Electronic Arts providing the first big look at its sprawling first-person shooter, including hands-on with its often-enormous multiplayer mode. I engaged the enemy across four of the nine maps Battlefield 6 will include at launch, which took us through a range of battles: from the vehicle-filled All-Out Warfare modes, to smaller, close-quarters battles. The franchise heads back to its roots with Battlefield 6,...
2K revealed the Mafia: The Old Country system requirements back in May, leading PC Gamer hardwaremeister James Bentley to suggest that it might be time for an upgrade if you're coming at it with a lower-end rig. Today we got a detailed breakdown of what the game will offer in the way of eye candy and what you'll need to enjoy it, including a new "Epic" specification that is, well,...
You might not think it from its cutesy miniaturised setting and charming characters, but Grounded 2 can be a hard game, especially at the start when you've got bugger all to fend off the park's most fearsome critters. And to start getting better equipment and materials, you need to somehow overcome those threats, like poisonous scorpions, hordes of spiders, gigantic cockroach queens, wolf spiders—the (horrifying) list goes on.To have any...
