So, eventually all gangbangers will be undercover cops. Fair enough.

This is essentially the plot to G. K. Chesterton's novel The Man Who Was Thursday that shows up in several places in the first Deus Ex.

b) Good luck tracking down where exactly your carry weight is being used.

It's actually incredibly easy because you can sort your inventory by weight.

in fairness to Watch Dogs guy I still mutter "Aiden Pierce's Iconic Hat" to myself prodromally at random intervals whereas I cannot remember a single memorable thing about new Lara

:same:

It turned out to be very iconic, but not at all in a good way

It feels like the adventures of 4 jaded 30 somethings and the two rascals they babysit.

FF12 suffers from a bad case of anime age and Ashe is closest in age to Vaan (19 and 17). Balthier is 22 which makes probably the least sense here, Basch is 36

Jesus, of all the games to make grindier.

It's real bad in a multitude of ways

FFIIIDS was directed by the director of FFXI and FFXIV 1.0, Hiromichi Tanaka. Dude's whole thing was being stuck in the past and not seeing that video games and their audiences have changed over time (he joined Square in 1983 and worked on the first three FF games as a designer). Like XIV (2010) was explicitly made as a sequel to XI (2002), completely ignoring a little game called World of Warcraft (2004) that revolutionized what MMOs were and what people expected from them

Is it still on the gamepass thing?

Yes. Microsoft owns Obsidian so The Outer Worlds will stay on Gamepass permanently, afaik

It's almost like ME2 was an incredibly awkward attempt at making an action game by a company that had never made an action game before. :)

The first game Bioware ever made was an action game

Being able to buy every trophy in Automata was pretty glorious trolling.

The best part is that the trophy for having 100,000 G costs... 100,000 G
