Alex responds to yesterday’s Cryptonomicon post. He’s got a chart!
Deus Ex and The Treachery of Labels
Deus Ex Mankind Divided was a clumsy, tone-deaf allegory that thought it was clever, and it managed to annoy people of all political stripes.
Tenpenny Tower
Bethesda felt the need to jam a morality system into Fallout 3, and they blew it. Good and evil make no sense and the moral compass points sideways.
Silver Sable Sucks
This version of Silver Sable is poorly designed, horribly written, and placed in the game for all the wrong reasons.
If Star Wars Was Made in 2006?
Imagine if the original Star Wars hadn't appeared in the 1970's, but instead was pitched to studios in 2006. How would that turn out?
The Terrible New Thing
Fidget spinners are ruining education! We need to... oh, never mind the fad is over. This is not the first time we've had a dumb moral panic.
Hey Shamus! Just a heads up; Massawyrm at AICN has been beta testing 4th Edition D&D, and has posted a review here. Just thought you might be interested!
HOMG that 4E review is awesome!
I agree. I read that this morning and almost creamed my pants reading its awesometasticalness.
I’m not sure I believe that review—it was just seemed so one-sided and exuberant. As if they squared the circle and removed all the tradeoffs in game design, e.g.:
“There are benefits to playing WITH type, but never penalties for against. And that makes a WORLD of difference.”
