The hits just keep coming. Fallout 76 players have been quite vocal about their displeasure with the West Virginia Wasteland. A thin story, poor multiplayer implementation, a tedious inventory system, and bugs galore plague the latest ...

I have my personal issues with The Game Awards. To me, it's nothing but a glorified advertisement with some awards thrown in to pad the time. There is more emphasis put on the announcements than the awards, and even then, the awards are pre...

One of the changes at the top of the mind for nearly every Fallout 76 player is an increase to stash size. Your personal stash is the one safe place in Fallout 76. Putting items in there means they (theoretically) won't disappear. That...

Thanksgiving week was the perfect occasion for me to dive into a nostalgic and relaxed game like Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu. I knew that just like the originals, once the adventure started in earnest, I wouldn't want to stop. I block...

In today's episode of Impulse, I sat down once again with Sam Mui from Infinite Backlog to discuss our brief thoughts on Pokémon Let's Go and what features we'd love to see carry over to the next mainline game. But, obviously, ...

I’ve grown increasingly exhausted of Pokémon with each generation, despite feeling the games are improving overall. From Gold through Pearl, I had unyielding optimism to "catch ‘em all" and excessively grind my team up fo...

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's "where does it fit on the timeline" fiasco has been a ride. First we all kind of assumed that it slotted into the end of the chronology and famed Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma was undecided. Then he was es...

Can you believe that Kingdom Hearts 3 was announced at E3 2013? And that the team had talked about following up Kingdom Hearts 2 even earlier than that? It's crazy to think that after all this time and all of these spinoffs, the 2005 narrat...

Possibly the most interesting thing about Fallout 76 is the way it approaches its end-game content. Players gather fragments of nuclear launch codes and work together to push the big red button. Then, a nuke heavily irradiates a secti...

There's a lot of heavy-worded pomp and circumstance in the three-minute Darksiders III introduction video. Well, until Fury gets a chance to say her piece. She'd rather just get on with the killing. Shortly thereafter, the narrator st...

A contentious and almost-universally hated constraint in Fallout 76 is the stash limit. This game that incentivizes grabbing anything that isn't bolted down will only allow you to keep a collection of items that total 400 weight. It's ...

I don't remember exactly what compelled me to rush out and buy Pokémon Red before the craze began, but I vividly recall the day I went to Toys"R"Us after school and picked it up. I got to Mt. Moon in one sitting and promptl...

Fallout 76 has a haunting isolation about it. There are no non-playable characters in this game. There are no dialogue choices to make. There's no right or wrong. The towns are all deserted. It's just you, your thoughts, a million mile...

Many of you will have to slog through the Hundred Acre Wood and all its mini-games when Kingdom Hearts III releases on January 29, 2019. For that, I am sorry. A place as magical as Winnie the Pooh's hood shouldn't be met with contempt ...

Watching the reaction to Dark Souls on Switch has been fascinating. It's like a time warp into the year 2009, where I was able to witness all sorts of "nope, I'm giving up" reactions after people's first foray into the Souls series (wi...

November is cold but Monster Hunter: World PC players won't have to worry about that. Soon, a dragon is landing and she'll raise the temperature by more than a few degrees. Capcom has confirmed that Lunastra will be available to fight ...

Bethesda has flipped the power switch for Fallout 76 hours ahead of schedule. Originally set to launch at midnight in every respective time zone, Fallout 76 is playable now. This is seemingly born out of a bug that wasn't worth fi...

Looking back inXile has a history of buddying up with Microsoft, so when recent rumors suggested that they were working out a deal to become acquired by them, it made sense. Back in 2013 its CEO Brian Fargo talked up Microsoft's approach to...

Fallout 76 is an odd one. I don't think any Fallout fan suspected this would be the next step from Bethesda. As I mentioned in today's episode, I also don't quite know who they were aiming for with this game. The verdict is practically out ...

Following his extensive work digging up unused enemies and a scrapped time-of-day mechanic, Lance McDonald has discovered another Bloodborne boss that didn't make the cut. I'm of two minds. On the one hand, we can never have enough From So...

Today, again already, is N7 Day. November 7 served as a once-important date for Mass Effect fans. It was a day to celebrate Mass Effect and to look toward the future with bright eyes and lots of hope. But, if every previous N7 Da...

The news that The Witcher 3 just got simplified Chinese language support broke in the best way: as a response to a "what in the world did this 500MB update do" forum post. After questioning why CD Projekt Red pushed a huge new patch for The...

There's going to be one final play session for the Fallout 76 beta, but after tomorrow, Bethesda will pack everything up until the game properly launches on November 14. Given the drastic shift to a multiplayer-centric design, the developer...

It took them a while, but Square Enix eventually cashed in hard on Final Fantasy VII in the same way they're doing with Final Fantasy XV right now. It got a full-on film in Advent Children, PSP and PS2 spinoffs, and all sorts of ports and e...

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is giving its most experienced misthioses plenty of reasons to keep playing. (I have no idea what the plural of misthios is. That's my best guess.) Ubisoft has outlined all of its Assassin's Creed Odyssey ...
