I think one of my key takeaways from Summer Game Fest was that the video game industry has learned the lesson the movie industry is refusing to learn: Mid-size, mid-budget projects are good! There's room for CoD and Assassin's Creed alongside Kunitsu-Gami and Lego Horizon.
Honestly, a pretty refreshing Summer Game Fest, with a huge focus on indies and some honesty about the state of the industry. But mostly Killer Bean.
Absolutely fascinated by the complete undoing of @helldivers2. Easily my favorite game of the year so far, warts and all, until the team completely unbalanced everything to the point that it's deeply unfun and tedious.
I have no doubt Arrowhead is working its butt off to fix everything that's broken and making tons of new stuff that will improve the game. But the foundation was so solid (gameplay-wise, maybe not technically) at launch, and so much of that has just inexplicably vanished.
A ridiculously cool mailer to celebrate the premiere of #SoloLeveling on Crunchyroll.

Hilariously depressing as a Braves fan that this is the only post the team's official account has made more than halfway through a playoff game because there is literally nothing to post about. Ya gotta laugh (to keep from crying)!
Go time.

So glad I jumped on the Bama Basketball bandwagon back in the Trevor Releford days so the decaying husk of our football team doesn’t ruin my entire fall.
I know Cyberpunk 2077 was broken at launch, but I played the absolute crap out of it for weeks. Beat the campaign, did a ton of side quests, and was happy just running around Night City causing havoc. Can't wait to jump back in with Phantom Liberty. youtube.com/watch?v=03VWLu-t…
I think what's really jarring about Starfield coming out at this particular moment is just how expertly other recent games have embraced and navigated around their limitations. Starfield feels like it's fighting against itself every step of the way.
I don't know if restricting Starfield's game world to a single galaxy would have solved any of this, but not having the impulse to chart my own path in a Bethesda game - especially the biggest one ever - just doesn't feel quite right.
Anyway, I didn't get a code until Monday, so I want to play more before I issue a final verdict. In the meantime, I wrote about my first 10 hours here: bgr.com/entertainment/starfi…
