  1. Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Exploration mode kills quest markers, and it's about damn time (PC Gamer) I honestly wasn't expecting much from Odyssey, thinking it would just be Origins in a new setting. But I've been surprised to discover a gorgeous, vibrant, sweeping RPG that recalls the best of The Witcher 3, with a little Mass Effect thrown in for good measure. I think it might even be the best Assassin’s Creed, but I'm saving wild statements like that until I'm more than 15 hours in. The quests are great, the world is stunning, and the freedom of the naval exploration is exhilarating. But it's Exploration mode that's really made me fall in love with this thing—and reignited my passion for open world games in general. Because it's reminded me of how joyful exploration can be when you aren't switching your brain off and following yet another flashing quest marker.
  2. If the English translation of the demand letter is even remotely accurate, then it reads like an incredibly cliche extortion letter: Even so, as is true in every case, and particularly true in this instance, considering the specific relationship between you and Mr. Andrzej Sapkowski, the Author’s nature and character, and also your own standing and business interests, we are prepared to settle the matter in an amicable – and more importantly – expeditious and quiet manner.
  3. Dirt Rally 2.0 almost killed me but Phil Mills calmed me down (PCGamesN) Hands-on with the sequel to Dirt Rally, the most hardcore racing sim in recent memory
  4. After Fred Trump’s death, his empire’s most valuable asset was an I.O.U. from Donald Trump OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
  5. That notion was very much an idea that was floated in "fringe" economic circles at the time, but has gained greater credence in subsequent years.
  6. According to sources speaking to Eurogamer, Rocksteady is NOT the developer. The developer is Utah-based Avalanche Software (not to be confused with Sweden-based Avalanche Studios) who worked on the Disney Infinity series and was eventually acquired by Warner Brothers Interactive.
  7. I haven't read Tooze's new book yet (probably going to ask for it as a Christmas present), but I have read his previous book The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy and found it to be perfectly understandable for someone who isn't well-versed in deep financial matters. Tooze very much writes popular histories for mass audiences.
  8. You know what doesn't "need work" and is totally playable now? Saints Row IV!
  9. Explore the very beginnings of Larian Studios and the Divinity franchise in our feature-length documentary. Discover the struggles the studio faced on their journey to becoming an independent studio, and how each game in the Divinity franchise laid the foundation for what would become, Original Sin.
  10. We are fully aware of the fact that the Author's claim expressed herein is not a typical request, and that demanding payment of dozens of millions Polish Zlotys is not an everyday occurrence. I see that Sapkowski went with the very best that the Polish legal community has to offer.
  11. Based on my deep understanding and significant expertise with Polish intellectual property law, I will resolutely state ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's worth a shot anyway - the worst that could happen is he gets nothing while there's the real possibility that CDPR will just quietly settle out of court to make him go away once and for all.
  12. Sapkowski's lawyer(s) claims the original Witcher video game contract "concerned only the first in a series of games, and therefore distribution of all other games, including their expansions, add-ons etc., is, simply speaking, unlawful".
  13. For me personally, the main feature for the Pro isn't its UHD output capability, but rather the supersampling for enhanced framerates/effects for 1080p.
