No! It's madness!

I'm just really hoping PCG posts a mouse+keyboard rosetta stone for us. The control port is so frustrating and while there are a bunch of partial controls lists out there none are complete. For example finding out that holding spacebar is sprint, or that shift+E is two-handing is crazy pills...

I pre-ordered the game as soon as it was announced. I usually don't do this, but I was really into the idea of a viking-themed AC and when they said they were going "even more full-on RPG" I just went at it. Having seen the game-play leak that is now the game-play reveal trailer, it does look...

So I'm interested in this title.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (vr edition) Rate it 10/10. Can't wait for Hellblade 2!

In 2020 I was always a netrunner with a sweet nomad background (remember the picture of the nomad sitting on his rad tron bike?). I'm a little concerned that netrunning isn't going to be cool enough in 2077.

I've been playing it and the animations seem pretty darn smooth to me. But, I agree about unrealistic combat as a general statement. In the combat RPG of my dreams every strike would matter. If you're hit, even in your armor, you should suffer for it. Getting pierced through your body or hewn...

I think they should rename the series and do away with the whole animus thing with the Templars and stuff.

Two reasons. Firstly, my ancestors were Celts, which means they were rad pagans who fornicated in the moonlight and ate mushrooms and painted their faces and stuff. Secondly, because Christians RUINED EVERYTHING: They're all about "don't drink ale!" and "Dont lay with women!" and also "There...

I'm super jazzed for Valhalla! I think the Assassin's Creed franchise has made steady improvement over the past few iterations. I hope it stays too huge and adds more depth. I also want to kill loads and loads of Christians and rid the land of churches and their absurd god!

Yep it's a bit janky for sure. I think the Boneworks movement scheme would be great with Half Life. It actually feels a lot like a Valve game, what with the sort-of Portalesque environments. Especially since Alyx has such great physics, it would be ideal. It's possible my height wasn't...

Ah! Thanks for the info. I think Lone Echo is the most outstanding use of VR atmosphere and controls to date. The control scheme for VR needs to be either Lone Echo or Boneworks. I'm playing Half Life; Alyx and the movement is really annoying. Can't wait for LE2!

At 3am PST, a bleary-eyed Lewis and myself waited patiently for the BUY button to appear on Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord's Steam Store page. At the stroke of three, a live-stream launched and we watched the viewer counter. 100k viewers, 140k viewer-- after about 5 minutes the buy button...
