Déjà vu. It happened when I was browsing a clothing catalogue in one of Red Dead Redemption 2's general stores. Among the abundance of cowboy hats, a lone flat cap. After equipping that careworn burgundy outlier, a decade melted away. I was no longer crotchety desperado Arthur Morgan. Instead I had resurrected Sean Devlin, gutsy Irish racing daredevil, two-fisted scourge of jackbooted bullies and indefatigable liberator of occupied Paris. A memory rose, unbidden, of wild nights in the City of Light, incinerating Nazi zeppelins while yelling: "My toothless old gran's tougher than you!" … [Read more...] about The Double-A Team: The Saboteur’s shameless Paris sojourn offered up cabaret and carnage

The Bad Batch members are clone action-movie heroes. As a group, they come off as a clone version of The Expendables. Their leader wears a Rambo-like red bandana, another fits the grizzled sharpshoot mold, one is a hulking bruiser, while the fourth member is the "techie" of the group. Where Rex and his kind value discipline and order, the Bad Batch's unique talents allow for bolder actions. The episode pays off the potential therein to its fullest. The animation in general looks better than ever, exceeding that in The Clone Wars' successor, Star Wars Rebels. But the teams behind the episodes take it further, creating long action scenes shot from over the clone's shoulder.

Auto rifles are being adjusted with the goal of making them a little more effective in the Crucible, although the changes will have an impact on PvE as well. "The nature of the way Destiny is played tends to have Semi-Auto based weaponry be more effective in general and so we’re compensating for that with these tweaks," Bungie explained. "These are fairly modest changes intended to give Auto Rifles more of a chance in an open fight without attempting to drag the TTK of the entire game down." … [Read more...] about Bungie details a big ol’ bunch of nerfs coming to Destiny 2 in the next season

“Firing a gun is a binary choice. Either you pull the trigger or you don’t” – Max Payne, Max Payne 2 Max Payne is mayor of the indulgent noir aphorism. If he had a sidekick she would be called Polly Pastiche, and then she would die. Officer Payne gets a lot of good lines. “I had a bomb ticking in my head,” he growls. “No amount of painkillers would disable it.” In Max Payne 2 he smooches Mona, a woman who is also a proponent of fair bullet distribution among the masses. “Kissing her,” he says, “I think of the cold laws of cause and effect.” This man is a machine of wild dialogue, capable of delivering multiple-clause contempt even as he unloads shotgun shells into unprepared bellies. He is what would happen if Raymond Chandler stepped into the machine from The Fly, and at the last second a wandering Tom Clancy flew in and closed the door. Rom Chancy. … [Read more...] about The 12 most extravagant lines of dialogue in games
