Even the originalDragon’s Dogmafeatured a move calledHelm Splitterthat players could use to negate fall damage — and also to look ultra cool:...

I mean, I saw the warning signs very early after having a string of very boring matches, but I decided to give it more time just to see if that was a temporary rut. No, it’s inherent to the design of the game — at least for me. If you’re still enjoying it though Turtle Rock Studios is putting out an “Observer Mode” function soon for all platforms for free....

I think a lot of us have a similar story when it comes to how we were introduced toKingdom Hearts. We grew up in a nightmarish hellscape of capitalism where all you had to do as a marketer to get the kids’ attention was slap a Mickey Mouse sticker on your product and call it a day. So, seeing an overly edgy but also incredibly heartfelt adventure featuring Donald Duck, Goofy, and an anime boy with an outfit consisting of one too many zippers was a dream come true for nerdy millennials like us....

One of the top requests from fans was “more challenging content” Right from the get-go, there was a wide variety of reactions toStranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. The copious “chaos!” exclamations in the reveal were definitely a driving factor in that divide,but as I dug into the game at launch, I found a lot to like, including some of the bolder and somewhat out-there choices with the narrative. We sat down recently with director Daisuke Inoue and producer Jin Fujiwara to really take in the game’s impact thus far, and where it might be goingnow that the DLC campaign is underway....
