    Tekken 7 Director Reveals New Character, Clarifies "Lucky Chloe" Situation

    ::Raises hand:: as someone who cares a little bit (only a little, I have no Tekken-related tattoos), my issue with Lucky Chloe is that she could quite possibly be a barometer for the series' direction. I don't personally care if there's a cat-girl in the game -- had no problems with Felicia in...

    My First Assassination - Hands on with Assassin's Creed: Unity

    This article reads like a plea for help. Specifically 'Help! I don't like this game, but they paid for me to parrot the preview talking points from the conventions and hype engine!' Seriously, we've been promised richer combat and a greater emphasis on stealth with every single new...

    Destiny Ushers in a New Era of Blatant Cash Grabs

    Destiny is a list of gameplay elements that look good to investors. I can tell from playing it that the creators were gritting their teeth as they made Destiny. 'This is what gets me paid' was probably on a plaque in each cubicle.

    Zero Punctuation: Destiny - Always-On Grind

    I have nothing further to add to this video. Except that after playing Destiny, I can only imagine some investors somewhere saying 'Has it started producing money hand over fist yet?'

    Um -- isn't that just bits of the previous gameplay trailer and the cinematic trailer all frankensteined together?

    Jimquisition: The Poison of Pre-Order Culture

    So, uh, what do we do about it? I've tried setting my heels and standing on principle before, and I've noticed two primary reactions: #1. The people who make these decisions interpret me not playing their game as a lack of interest and murder the game/genre in its crib #2. The tide of...

    Lucasfilm Makes It Official: Star Wars: Expanded Universe Is Dead

    As someone who never liked Star Wars: I've been subjected to a lot of Star Wars related tripe through my dad and my first girlfriend, and I can't really muster up that much sympathy for the EU's death. The three characters I actually did care about -- Vader, Starkiller, and the Exile -- were...

    Aversion to Children

    I don't like infants, babies, and toddlers. Once kids hit about 4 years old (varies by development, all kids are different on the maturation scales), when they can communicate and understand that other people exist, they get loads more tolerable. I think a large part of it for me, is my...

    Escapist News Now: Is a Borderlands 2 Prequel Coming?

    The fight with Wilhelm is supposed to be easy. Handsome Jack sabotaged him so that you could get the fakey pants power core and plug it into Sanctuary's shield generator. Listen to Wilhelm's dialogue during the fight -- he talks about how he can't move properly and his shields aren't working...

    8 Reasons Why Games Workshop Loves You

    I had a friend once. His name was Steve (isn't wasn't actually, but I'm not going to use his real name without his permission). Steve loved him some Warhammer 40,000. He was a Space Wolves player. One day, Steve saved up enough money, and made friends with the right investors, and...

    Jimquisition: The Adblock Episode

    I prefer a little discrimination in my ad-blocking. Specifically, I don't use ad-block. I just don't watch content loaded with ads that I feel are contemptuous of my intelligence (like the sessile ads on this site -- I just don't scroll down to them). But the majority of the video ads here...

    Psychological phenomenon -- don't know its name, help?

    Hey fellow Escapists, I'm working on a video I plan to post on Youtube as relates games, but my research skills have failed me. I'm kind of hoping one of y'all might know the name of what I'm looking for. Basically, it's this phenomenon I've noticed in my own life, so I gotta figure someone...
