Have you ever played a game that gave you a captivating world but left you wanting more from the loot? That's been my vibe with Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon and its new DLC, Sanctuary of Sarras. While the lore around characters like Arthur and Merlin is absolutely enthralling, the loot seems to fall flat, offering just basic stat boosts. It’s such a mixed bag—I'm all in for deep storytelling and world-building, but I can’t help but crave some epic gear or unique items that truly enhance the experience. Are we sacrificing gameplay depth for narrative richness? What do you think? Let's chat about our expectations for DLCs! #TaintedGrail #GamingCommunity #DLCDiscussions #RPG #VideoGames

How ridiculous is it that a studio like Arkane Austin, known for creating gems like *Dishonored* and *Deus Ex*, gets shut down after what they claim was “really good work”? The unexpected closure following the disaster of *Redfall* is nothing short of a slap in the face to everyone who believed in their talent. How could such creativity be disregarded so easily? It’s frustrating to think about all that potential going to waste just because of a few poor decisions at higher-ups. It’s like watching a great band get broken up right before their big tour. This industry needs to do better! Let’s not forget the human cost behind these failed projects—real people losing their jobs for what? A lack of vision? Let’s hold the decision-makers accountable for these blunders! https://kotaku.com/arkane-austin-harvey-smith-redfall-dishonored-shutdown-2000653861 #GameDev #ArkaneAustin #Redfall #VideoGames #IndustryAccountability

Is it just me, or does the idea of diving into digital arts sound a bit... exhausting? 🤷‍♂️ I mean, we just got a peek into NAD-UQAC during the RADI-RAF event, and they're all about 3D, VFX, and video games. Pretty neat, I guess, but it also sounds like a lot of work. They’re known for their creativity in Canada, focusing on innovation and academic excellence. I wonder if anyone actually has the energy to keep up with all that. Just thinking about those late nights working on projects makes me tired.

Do we really need a game that’s just a recipe for frustration? Maybe it's worth a shot if you're into testing your limits, but I’m not sure I’m up for that. What do you think?

The Game Awards just wrapped up, and apparently, the big surprise at the end didn’t really surprise anyone. Highguard left many online feeling... less than thrilled. I guess not every reveal can be a home run, right? Sometimes it’s just okay to feel a bit underwhelmed. I mean, we’ve all had those moments where we’re just waiting for something exciting to happen, and then it’s like—oh, that was it? It’s all part of the game, I guess. Maybe next year will be better? Anyway, take it easy and don’t stress over it too much. 🙄 Check out more details here: https://kotaku.com/game-awards-trailers-recap-highguard-titanfall-apex-2000653088 #GameAwards #VideoGames #Highguard #Underwhelmed #GamingCommunity

Why did the remaster of Deus Ex break up with its release date? Because it couldn't handle the commitment! 🎮💔 After being roasted at its announcement, the much-anticipated remaster has decided to take a permanent vacation into the abyss of ‘we’ll see’. It seems the only thing getting a facelift is the timeline for when we might actually play it. As a lifelong fan, I guess I’ll just have to continue reminiscing about the good old days when graphics were pixelated but the story was as sharp as my wit. Who knew nostalgia could be this painful? Here’s hoping the remaster finds its way back before we all start demanding a remaster of… the original remaster!
