    You get to remaster one game/franchise...

    A bit was lost between Daggerfall and Morrowind, but you are vastly overstating what was lost in that transition. Morrowind *does* have ownable houses in it-three in the base game and two in Bloodmoon. There might not be ownable boats or horses in Morrowind, but there are *plenty* of other ways...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi Official Teaser Trailer Released

    I spot little metal strips like those that went around the eye holes on Kylo's mask in the debris, so I think it's his.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi Official Teaser Trailer Released

    I really hope they don't follow through on that and have Luke abandon the Jedi order to extinction. TFA already blew away so many of the 'happy endings' of Return of the Jedi...it's kind of depressing to think about. At least in the EU Luke's new Jedi order got to be a thing instead of getting...

    Our First Look at The Last Jedi's Finn, Rey and Poe

    I think I prefer her old haircut, actually. Hopefully the rest of her outfit remains more or less the same. Wasn't Kyle a mercenary and an ex-imperial officer who stole the death star plans and put a stop to the Dark Trooper project *before* he became a Jedi? The guy was practically a one-man...

    Franchises You Want Revived

    Whenever a thread like this pops up, it saddens me to reflect on all of the games that defined my gaming experience during my childhood through young adulthood. Particularly in the fifth and sixth gens for console games-so few franchises have fallen by the wayside in some manner or another, or...

    What are your favourite races to play in games?

    Elves usually. Even in RL there is just so much going on, so many different cultures and locations and occupations that I think would be fascinating to explore-but human lifetimes are far too short to experience them all. So the expanded lifetimes of long lived species like elves is rather...

    Which PS1 classic RPG to play?

    Breath of Fire III or IV. III is more of a traditional jrpg, but has a little bit more charm than IV IMO. (might be biased-Breath of Fire III is the first jrpg I played). They are both excellent though.

    Feminists next target; Battlefield 1.

    They promised playable female soldiers, and even advertised one in the first trailer,before going back on what they'd said. I'd say there's plenty there to criticize. Lots of folks bringing up that female soldiers were rather rare in WWI, and that's true. However, the Harlem Hellfighters...

    Feminists next target; Battlefield 1.

    The omission is a bit glaring considering the fact that a female soldier was featured rather prominently in the trailer. Yes women had a rather limited frontline combat role in WWI, but from what we know about the game so far, they aren't exactly shying away from some of the less prominent...

    Watch the First Teaser for the New Star Trek Series Right Here

    It did look rather low budget. Like something one would expect to see in a Star Trek Online trailer.

    Watch the First Teaser for the New Star Trek Series Right Here

    ST II-ST VI is the era I most desperately have wanted more of for such a long time. I'm hoping the rumors that this will be the era visited first are true. Hopefully lightning will strike twice with Meyer and it will be everything I hoped for. On the other hand, I don't particularly care for...

    Star Wars Battlefront Bespin Expansion Announced

    Lando and Dengar are much better choices than Greedo and Nien. I'll give them that much. ATATs on Bespin is ridiculous though. The game still has a long way to go before I'd go near it with a ten foot pole.

    Darth Vader Could Have A Major Role in Star Wars: Rogue One

    I don't think there's any relation between them and the royal guard. The Royal guard were in episode III, so the predate the stormtroopers. They seem to be based off of either the Shadow Stormtroopers or Shadowtroopers (similar name, different thing) from the EU.

    Darth Vader Could Have A Major Role in Star Wars: Rogue One

    Shame it won't have Kyle Katarn in it. They are already fanservice milking with the Darth Vader movie (this one), and the upcoming young Han Solo movie and rumored Boba Fett movie, so why not Kyle Katarn? Already got Shadow troopers in the movie (even if they are renaming them 'death...

    Controversial Fire Emblem: Fates Scene Dropped From Western Releases

    Yeah, I'm aware of this aspect of the culture. It's messed up and IMO probably not something that we need more of in games. Particularly in ones that are ostensibly trying to be more progressive in regard to LGBT issues.
