    V Rising

    Strong crossover choice. And it's always nice when crossover content works organically with the game's base setting.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    The first game is a, what, 60+ hour game? The actual story is contained in the first two hours and the last five; everything else is pretty much filler. So yeah, you could mash through a lot of it with little lost.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Honestly? It might be a little more connected than the typical Final Fantasy game, but not by much. You can start with DD2 if you want, and at most you might miss out on some callbacks to the first game.

    Tyranny

    I'm hoping that at some point, Obsidian will put some of that Microsoft money towards buying the IP from Paradox. Even though you can see the point where the money ran out, this game was great; it'd be great to see them make another go at it.

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    Weren't they shopping around Coyote in the first place because WB was starting to be seen as too kill-happy with their films, and directors and actors were refusing to meet with them? Would've thought they would suck it up and take an offer, even if it wasn't quite as high as they wanted. Better...

    Ashes of Creation

    That game Pax Dei sounds like it's trying to go in that direction (although presumably with fewer spreadsheets). The fact that they've got some ex-EVE devs working on it engenders at least a little optimism.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    That Wonder Woman game that was announced a couple years ago is being made by the Shadow of Mordor devs. That it will be using the Nemesis System is just about the only detail they've shared on it.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I mean, they're owned by Sony, so yeah, the exclusivity thing is going to happen. Although, Sony has started releasing games on Steam as well, just after a period of PS exclusivity. And yes, good-ass studio; the first Spider-Man game (and I think Miles Morales) is on Steam, and should definitely...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Nice, I've been waiting for this one to go live before doing a second play through. The simple fact that kingdoms will now actually die off when they lose their land without needing a mod is a massive improvement to the game. EDIT: Jesus Christ. Just took a look at the patch notes; I haven't...

    Nope, Monster Hunter was the final announcement.

    Marvel’s Blade

    Well this was a fucking curveball. The Dishonored squad working on a Blade title is a solid fit; looking forward to seeing gameplay.

    Napoleon (2023)

    They really did need to go with a tighter time frame for the story. As it is, the movie is covering so much time that it can't really focus in and tell something that feels like coherent story. Instead, it feels more like a anthology of Napoleon stories alternating between battle > being weird...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Ms Marvel had good casting and characters, but felt like they were trying to squeeze three seasons of story arcs into one relatively short season. She Hulk and Secret Invasion? Eeeehhhh... less than great.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    If it's not flat-out stated (it's been a while), it's at least heavily implied that the Bridgeburners collectively ascended as the new gods of death.

    What did you just read?

    This one's safe in that regard, at least. Eco never wrote a sequel (and the story doesn't really lend itself to one), and he's dead, so he's not in a position to change his mind on it.
