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.
Spec Ops: The Line
A videogame that judges its audience, criticizes its genre, and hates its premise. How did this thing get made?
Lost Laughs in Leisure Suit Larry
Why was this classic adventure game so funny in the 80's, and why did it stop being funny?
Spider-Man
A game I love. It has a solid main story and a couple of really obnoxious, cringy, incoherent side-plots in it. What happened here?
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.
If the GM actually observed the players, and wanted to run a game (as opposed to narrating the movie in his head) this would be a good way to introduce a McGuffin.
It’s nice that the players are at least attempting a bit of roleplaying here after throwing this major wrench in the DM’s plans.
Is it role-playing? Ok, feels like in DnD /ADnD where the rogue got additional XP for the work of the treasures they could pick up. I hated that rule…
And it seems like all characters have secretly being multiclass Thieves.
Oi! Seems like next week page is missing again.
