If Warren Spector is actually involved I'll give it the benefit of the doubt but I'm not thrilled about the competitive multiplayer aspect and the trailer presentation made me think "hero shooter" more than Deus Ex/Thief spiritual successor. Also Spector's track record over the 20 post-Eidos years isn't exactly glowing.

I never understood the "don't nerf things, buff other things!" argument. Power creep is a very real issue and much more tough to deal with than players getting upset briefly.

Ragebound sounds about right. I had Ninja Gaiden on my original Xbox back in the day and while I loved it and played the shit out of it I never beat it. These games were fucking hard.

I'm starting to really despise this franchise, studio and/or publisher. Fuck off with these remaster cash crabs two years after a game is released. Are we due a The Last of Us: Part 1 Remastered - Remake too soon? Get out of here.

Didn't the remake rip out all the amazing period songs from the original OST? I remember vibing to Django Reinhardt as you're driving was a huge part of it for me.

I was praying for Letho even though we all knew it was going to be Ciri (for better or worse, we'll see).

Leaning into the moral grey of the Witcher world with Letho would have been awesome, he says (in one of the endings to his story) he'll head out east over the mountains so we could have gotten some all-new environments and it would have been 100% CDPR IP so they could have done whatever they wanted without trampling over lore too much. Plus Letho is just an amazing character with huge protagonist energy. Oh well.

Deadlock killer?

FFXIV: A Realm Reborn is a fantastic trailer but it's almost cheating because Answers is such an unbelievable Uematsu banger that it carries it on music alone.

Assassin's Creed: Unity had one of the best trailers of all time, and it will take something truly special to dethrone it from my personal nr 1.

Portal 3 Kingdoms was a mistake.

I haven't played MTG in a few years (and don't intend to come back what with the SpongeBob crossover and all) but Magic used to at least try to limit mental math in terms of changing values on cards. Buffs lasted a turn, and anything permanent was auras or equipment or +1/+1 counters.

Gwent has a lot of numbers changing value contextually, often by multiplication instead of simple addition. Now, combat math and all that is way more complex in Magic, but Gwent does have lots of changing numbers to track.

What do you mean, the Cretaceous period was just yesterday.
