I Wish I Could Just Focus On One Game Like Baldur's Gate 3

I often think about going back toBaldur’s Gate 3. It took me a year to wade throughLarian Studios' massive RPG the first time I played it, so it’s always surprised me how many of my fellow fans have logged thousands of hours over their dozens of playthroughs. This isn’t aResident Evil game that’s designed for speedruns; it’s the most expansive RPG I’ve ever played. When I hear about players beating the game on Tactician or Honour Mode, I’m impressed, but in the same way I’m impressed when I hear about something like the Greenland shark, which can live upwards of 500 years....

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Isn't Made For You, It's Made For Your Parents

I didn’t know what to expect fromNintendo Switch 2Welcome Tour. For one, it isn’t free with the console, despite being marketed as an introduction to everything it brings to the table. At $9.99 it’s hardly a premium product, but selling for anything at all means we must view it with the same critical eye as we would everything else. From what I experienced at an extensive hands-on event last month, it’s shaping up to be a charming, stylish, and surprisingly comprehensive glimpse into the Switch 2 hardware, along with detailed explanations of modern gaming terminology and technology that the audience for a game like this might not be familiar with....

Summary The officialOnimushaTwitter account (which is run byCapcom) has confirmed that Oyo’s special outfit has been censored in the Onimusha 2 remaster to “reduce skin exposure”.

Sometimes it’s deserved, and sometimes it’s absolutely not. I’ve seen enough hate for these innocent characters online that it’s time for me to jump in and defend them....
