Similar to @Colif, I made an OS choice for a single game: Just Cause 2. That game forced me to finally abandon Windows XP for Vista as it didn't run on XP. I also, like many probably, played Morrowind for the first time with the lowest possible draw distance just to make it playable. Many...

Came here to post this. Arkane later made Dishonored which had a very similar feel to its melee combat but since it wasn't a focus it didn't feel quite as developed. Just the combat animations for the daggers alone put Dark Messiah above every other example of first person melee, and the...

Yep. They operate on the same principles of flight as an ultralight plane so they can sacrifice forward momentum for altitude when necessary. I read something a while ago about a flightsuit so efficient that you could conceivably make a safe landing on foot by carefully bleeding speed with short...

I still put close range attacks/weapons/spells in 3 as well! In fact I seem to recall seeing a thread online ages ago where someone was complaining about a game putting an assault rifle in 3 and the shotgun in 4 or 5 and they were livid.

Part of me really misses the old-school FPS trope of filling in your number keys from left to right throughout the campaign. You know what I mean, you start with a melee weapon and a basic pistol in keys 1 and 2, maybe get a submachine gun or assault rifle in 3 after a level or two, then as...

Hanging off the world, or wearing it like a jaunty cap?

They're basalt columns, like at The Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland. Very striking geology:

As someone with zero attachment to any of the Blizzard IPs and very few of the modern Activision ones I feel like I won't have a horse in this race until the rumour mill starts promising me a reboot of Interstate '76 or Heavy Gear and I completely melt down. It does make Gamepass more attractive...

I use it as a panic-attack simulator so he's not wrong.

The scariest scenario that could result from this would be the surviving company taking over the IPs of the other two. Imagine if EA were given WoW, there'd be more paywall than game.

@FreezerBurn is correct! The Brotherhood Of The Wolf (Le Pacte De Loups) is a wild ride, adding to it's already strange mix of genres; a man-eating monster lurking in the woods, a dude with a whip-sword like Ivy in Soul Calibur and an Iroqouis martial artist. Highly recommended, especially if...

Wordle 209 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩⬜⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 This one suuuucked. I kept coming back to it between moving kegs at work.

Maybe you should say the answer, because my next clue and a quick google will probably do the trick. Genre-wise, this movie is listed as a 'Period-Action-Horror Film'. But I'd throw Martial Arts in there as well.

Wordle 208 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 My luck really turned around on this one.

Not Clive Owen either, this dude has quite some range with just his eyes clearly. This is a french action film, set in the late 1700s. I know, I know, foreign films are hard but this one has a bit of a cult following so I thought someone might recognise it. I'll start dropping regular hints so...
