Video of the Day, I Am Being Persuaded To Buy SPACE MARINES 2 edition.

This is legitimately funny.

Modders unlock full BALDUR’S GATE 3 mod kit. :wink:

As I understand it, when Larian Studios released the mod kit for BALDUR’S GATE 3 a few days ago they left some of the tools greyed out and inaccessible. Why? Well, they say ‘complexity,’ but I suspect they mean ‘Hasbro.’ Copyright violations of D&D, copyright violations of other IPs, copyright violations involving porn* – take your pick, the company’s probably going to freak out over it. So they released a restricted mod kit.

The “Just here for the memes” WARHAMMER 40,000: SPACE MARINE 2 trailer.

It may be for the best that my computer probably couldn’t handle WARHAMMER 40,000: SPACE MARINE 2. By all accounts, this game is making a lot of people drool. I already have a backlog of games to play…

The “Now holllld on, I know that engine” MOUSE: P.I. FOR HIRE gameplay trailer.

That’s BIOSHOCK: INFINITE, that is. They even got that skyrail hook thing.

SQUIRREL WITH A GUN may be the single stupidest idea for a videogame that I have ever seen.

I purchased it immediately.

Via GeekTyrant.

This is why people still play/mod Fallout and Skyrim.

I’m exaggerating for dramatic effect, sure*. But headlines like this do not help inspire confidence in new games: Early Star Wars Outlaws PS5 players paid $110 only to have Ubisoft issue a new patch and tell them to start a new save file or face game-breaking bugs. The company has since tried damage control, but only because of all of the screaming.

The very belated STARFIELD: SHATTERED SPACE trailer.

I am way behind on getting back to STARFIELD (I’ve been actually running through a complete FALLOUT 4 run, just for the heck of it). I should check out the game again once I’m done with said run. At the very least, see what got updated, now that modders have the Creation Kit…

The FALLOUT LONDON launch trailer.

I probably don’t have time to play this.

You can pick up FALLOUT LONDON at GOG, and they’re kind of suggesting that you grab a copy of FALLOUT 4 GOTY there and disable updates. This seems like a very good suggestion, because apparently it won’t work on Next-Gen Fallout and the developers aren’t even going to bother trying to keep up with the updates. I can’t say that I blame them much for that, either. Besides, I also think this replaces the base game, and people are still playing the base game. Heck, I’m finishing up Far Harbor as we speak.

Oh, hey, they finally did a real sale for BALDUR’S GATE 3.

20% off on Steam Summer Sale. There’s a bunch of others, too, but BALDUR’S GATE 3 is the one most relevant to my interests. Not that I’m going to play it for a while, given that I’m trying to get an anthology out…

The “…Well. THAT looks like [expletive deleted]” DRAGON AGE: THE VEILGUARD reveal trailer.

I mean, I kind of felt bad after the DRAGON AGE: THE VEILGUARD trailer. Bioware’s dead to me, sure, but I’m not into watching EA violate its corpse like this. It’s… unseemly.

PS: What do I hate about it? I dunno, everything? The aesthetic looks like EA heard ARCANE was cool but wasn’t sure why, the storyline’s all over the place, Dragon Age has never really been able to decide what kind of fantasy setting it is and they keep making things worse with every game, I haven’t been happy with the gameplay since ORIGINS, and I have an almost irrepressible urge to just haul off and punch the featured NPC above in the nose. It’s not even because I dislike the NPC. It’s just that s/he/it/whatever has a very punchable nose.
