I always wonder what the games would be like without the constraints of the engine they were built on.
Fingers crossed that TES VI (I know) has some sort of overhaul to the game engine so that the ***final battle*** isn’t just 6 NPC’s fighting in a field with some smoking rubble peppered around.

Religion-centered media that doesn’t come across as preachy.
*Faith, the Unholy Trinity:* Based partly upon the experience of the game‘s creator when he was a missionary in Argentina, the game has very little in the way of explicit moral demands of the player d...

Who else was REALLY disappointed that we didn't get Mark's Earth nightmare as the intro the the finale?
Not that the whole point of the show is the gore, but most of those characters never get all gored-up, and this is one of the gory parts of the series, so I'm very surprised they didn't go all out for...

[Loved Trope] "It was all just a dream" but it elevated the value of the story and the events
Example 1: Prey (2017) The entire game was a simulation using the in-house Looking Glass technology, all hinted at through the Project Cobalt recording you find throughout the game. You are not Morga...

Am I the only one who thought this dude was going to play a bigger role?
Seemed like he is OP and had a cool story arc to have him be a key part of the boys story I know it's been discussed they didn't want to tie gej v too closely to the boys but I feel like it would hav...

I almost quit my current game because of this
* Game is going great, overall! * I'm galactic custodian * Started losing control of the level 5 federation * This is awesome! Cetus 4.3 made the game less easy to dominate in several ways, just li...

I may get hate for "nostalgia posting", but this is the truth
I'm probably going to get people in the comments lecturing about "rose-colored glasses" and all that (and I sometimes suspect foul play in those comments), but this is the truth: This is why we joine...

Religions discovering their entire belief systems were false or built on a lie
Halo 2 – The Covenant are the main antagonists in the Halo universe, believing a single, absolute religious truth that the Halo rings are divine instruments that will usher believers into the “Great J...

Done with No Mans Sky for good.
So sounds dramatic but I stand by it. My game glitched while I was playing with my brother, crashed no different than usual as no man’s sky occasionally does except this time when I booted up it tried...

I find it hilarious how Rumi basically ghosted Celine
One thing that I actually found hilarious is how Celine is never seen or mentioned again. From Celine's perspective, she just saw her adopted daughter go demon mode; for all she knows, the world is de...

Who could have thought that toning down her sexist gimmick and expanding her kinder traits would make Tenko more tolerable?
You should read it if you want to see Tenko with a better characterization, and more of >!Kaede and Ryoma!<. It's basically V3 but 2×2

This expansion's pacing is much too quick
I find it to be ridiculous that the sunwell doesn't even a thing anymore. I ran an 11 Magisters and went, "oh yeah" at the sunwell blasting its rays upwards. The dawnwell shit is REALLY COOL but the i...

Just finished the Original trilogy...
Hi guys, might be a bit of a repetitive post here, but I can't help but share my feelings. I'm just getting into halo. Loved the first game and absolutely devoured the 2nd and the 3rd. The ending was ...

All things that need to happen in the next 3 episodes. Otherwise the show is forever cooked.
1. Homelander needs the v1 boost and go on a killing rampage. I mean demolition of cities, space flight (poster style), and tank weapons. He needs to take white house seat, kill the president, and go ...

Was really glad to see them again, feels like their story just abruptly ended in 6.5

Today I learned that Will Wright conceived The Sims after he lost his home to the Oakland firestorm of 1991.
Photograph taken by the San Francisco Chronicle. I was reading up about wildfires in the Bay Area. [In a Wikipedia article about the Oakland firestorm of 1991, I stumbled upon this paragraph.](https:...

I just played through the Omega DLC for the first time and Nyreen has to be the absolute worst waste of a character Bioware has ever done, and one of the lamest deaths.
I never played the Omega DLC when ME3 first came out so I never encountered Nyreen, but when I played this time round I was intrigued. Such an interesting character - a Turian biotic! A *female* Turia...

What if Kratos and Freya had got together soon after the end of Ragnarök?
What might bring Kratos and Freya closer is the shared affection they both feel for Atreus. Freya is the second woman from the Nordic lands to know Kratos intimately, to know his complicated past in G...
