Isn't "Souls-like" just the focused culmination of everything gameplay that "Action Adventure" was trying to build up to?

I'm not all that familiar with the Halo series. When did they introduce Orcs?

I don't remember PN03 being that bad... a bit easy sure, and definitely wouldn't fly in today's market unless it had an oversensitive director who insulted anyone who didn't like the game.

I read it more as "backstory detected > initiate recruitment."

A better point of reference from Battleborn would be to the creative team's previous game, Wildstar, which was basically "Let's make World of Starcraft because we really liked World of Warcraft but thought it grew up wrong, so let's make our game a modern Reticle-Action MMO the way all of the...

While this sort of gameplay-gamestory interaction is nice, I always feel that it separates the player base in an awkward sort of way. Like you'll be talking to a person about dark souls lore, and a not person hears you talking about games, wonders what game your talking about and when you tell...

Bastion gets the hate because the RNG favors him for play of the game, but a better question is why use any tank except reinhart? Sure roadhog has chain and heal, which are good, but they aren't charge and shield. Also, why is EVERY mission a payload mission now? What happened to point capture?

Escapist advertising for itself, featuring mostly people that have left escapist, and several that have retired... Hmm...

For those that didn't know: Bombshell has an easter egg which is Commander Keen's obituary in the opening cutscene. Yes: 3D Realms killed off their most beloved character as an easter egg (Not their most famous, obviously.) Now when's the gritty reboot of Secret Agent Man? Apogee is 3d...

Where we're going, we won't need shirts... or pants.

I've got to ask. When the game tells you to stop and sidequest for awhile to boost your level, is it at a point in the plot where there's downtime, or is it on a cliffhanger? When a game stops and says "WE URGENTLY NEED YOU TO HERO UP AND DO THE NEXT QUEST" in a story, but then tells you that...
