    They fired the Escapist's editor, and the video team, Yahtzee resigns

    To see what this site recovered from just to see it fall apart again is actually heartbreaking. Been coming to the escapist off and on since 2009. The site and these forums were a big part of 20's. Gamurs can rot as far as I'm concerned. I'll be keeping an eye out for what this crew does in...

    Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Thread

    I did the Rito section first too and I agree. The more I play this game, the more Breath of The WIld feels like it was a proof of concept for this game. Even the weapon durability isn't as bad this time around because of the fusion mechanic. Only thing I was disappointed in was that the dungeon...

    Diablo Immortal is Finally out....it's trash.

    I really hate what Blizard has become.

    Metroid dread reviews are coming in at 6 a.m. Pacific time, let us have a thread about the game.

    So it's kind of crazy how there are tricks for multiple bosses where you can either bypass entire phases of the fight or just instant kill them. The amount of possible ways to solve puzzles is also mind boggling. I could spend hours just experimenting with the different tricks you can use.

    Metroid dread reviews are coming in at 6 a.m. Pacific time, let us have a thread about the game.

    Ok so that purple EMMI can promptly go to hell. Currently stuck on that part and almost rage quit this morning. It's the one part of the game where I feel like the challenge isn't very fair. Also turns out the aiming for the Omega Canon was wonky because I wasn't using it right. I was trying...

    Metroid dread reviews are coming in at 6 a.m. Pacific time, let us have a thread about the game.

    I am blown away by how much I love this game so far. I knew I would enjoy it but I didn't expect it to dominate my thoughts while not playing it like it's doing right now. Only complaint I have so far is that the E.M.M.I. busting arm canon attack is really wonky with its aiming. The game is...

    My Smash Bros Ultimate Fighter Pack 2 Character Bingo List. What are yours?

    Mega Man, Pac-Man, Terry Bogard, Cloud, Sephiroth, Sonic, Banjo, Simon/Richter Belmont, Solid Snake, Ken, Ryu and now Sora. This game has basically become what me and all my friends wanted it to be when the original came out in 1999. It's absolutely insane the mountains Nintendo and Sakurai had...

    Speculation Into Sony’s Recent String of Anti-Consumer (Gamer) Behavior

    If Sony is going to be adding backwards compatibility for anything other than PS4 games, they're probably going to charge for it. But I'm sure they won't do it anyway because "why would anybody play this" guy is the one calling the shots.

    Your "What were they thinking." Moment while you were playing a game.

    Playing Mario 64 for the first time since the early 2000's when the All-Stars collection came out last year was... an experience. I remember playing that game so much when I was a kid and I don't know how I was ever ok with that camera.

    Your "What were they thinking." Moment while you were playing a game.

    I'll be that guy and go with this. There are plenty other issues with the game of course, but this last 10 minutes basically just threw everything the series had been building up to in the garbage. It's so frustrating when you play Mass Effect 2 and they were clearly planning something very...

    Games that are bad (or everyone else hates) that you like.

    Dragon Age II was a better Dragon Age game than Inquisition. I also really liked how they handled the morality system in that game and it is a bummer that they never revisited the concept.

    Nintendo Direct Tomorrow 2-17-21

    Pyra means we get more Xenoblade music in Smash, which is always good. Other than that I was very underwhelmed with this. I think I got my hopes up too much for Zelda 35th anniversary stuff, maybe they'll have a direct for that next week on the 21st?

    Nintendo Direct Tomorrow 2-17-21

    I think this is the first proper direct we've had since 2019, while I'm keeping my expectations in check I'm just very happy we're finally getting one after all this time. Gives me a sense of... normalcy I guess?

    Mass Effect: Legacy Edition trailer is out

    Infiltrator was actually fun in ME1 because you could basically turn yourself into a walking tank. Explosive rounds and frictionless materials to off-set the heat generation. I did my Insanity playthrough with an infiltrator and guys just went flying when I shot them.

    Mass Effect: Legacy Edition trailer is out

    I went with Control my first time beating the game pre-extended cut. Simply because my thought process was "Ok, so I'll just take over the Reapers and then have them all fly into stars and destroy themselves. That way I can still destroy the Reapers while the Geth and EDI don't have to die"...
