Aaaarghggggg!!! Well supposedly the new Mass Effect game in developement was titled Mass Effect Universe and supposedly a dev leaked the trailer & it was further along than we realized & HERE IT IS!!!!…supposedly. I’m off to go throw up and cry in a a corner now.

Anyone who knows me knows Mass Effect is my all time favorite game franchise. This saddens me…but I’ve felt like this was coming for a long time. I’d hoped I was wrong…but I expected it. BioWare will always be extremely special to me. I wish everyone there a prosperous next chapter in their journey

No spoilers, but the way Insomniac has reframed the (inevitable?) potential Wolverine, Jean, Cyclops love triangle I find very intriguing. It’s definitely a departure but it has me very curious about possible future implications in their planned X-men game

GUYS!!! Insomiac did what I’ve been begging developers to do for YEARS! You know how many times I miss a line of dialogue for some reason from a scene and wish I could replay it without restarting game/level or going to watch it on YouTube? Wolverine GOTY!!! Haha

Doing a New Game + run of Wolverine has been fun. In particular, now that I’ve already seen the story, many of the scenes and dialogue have different context for me (since I have answers) which has been interesting

For anyone playing Wolverine who might not know like I didn’t… The nightmare doors have narrative reasons for existing and also if you complete them all getting bronze or higher, another wood carving called “Best There Is” appears. Get bronze on it & there’s a semi-secret post credit type treat

I’m curious what happened to the leaked Jean Grey gameplay portion of Wolverine. As much as I enjoyed the game, it definitely could have used more content. Was it meant to be DLC? Did it not come together in a fun way? I like the idea of her having her own skill tree/unlocks like Faye in Ragnarok.

Personally I think this whole thing is overblown. All this did was make it harder for my blind ass to see it. I don’t really consider that an “improvement”

IGN@ign.com

Insomniac has released an update for Marvel’s Wolverine that nerfs the “fart gas” that had become such a talking point even before the game’s release. https://bit.ly/4yKbwmX

In all of the Wolverine discourse I feel like something is seriously flying under the radar… Wolverine is probably the best looking console game I’ve ever seen at times. Like…holy hell it looks absolutely AMAZING during certain moments Just rolled credits & have thoughts but needed to get that out

Wolverine so far… Just got to Act 3. Man…I legit almost put this game down. Bumped difficulty down one & kept going. Now I’m having a MUCH better time. Combat has clicked more & enjoying (most) fights overall. There are some odd choices. At the moment feeling pretty positive overall

Wolverine VERY early impressions after a little over an hour. Maybe I suck at games but I put it on the difficulty just below the hardest & I’m NOT finding it easy. Yes, there’s a lot of square button. But I’m having to very much pay attention to parry, dodge, break shields, etc

“Dear universe, the critics and discourse around the new Wolverine game has been quite divided. If only there were some sign whether or not I should…” *driving down the road “Ok well I appreciate the literal sign” “And I need to see the new Street Fighter movie. Got it”

Just rolled credits on Star Wars Zero Company. Man…that was easily one of the best Star Wars experiences I’ve ever had. Excellent game I couldn’t recommend highly enough. This is a crazy year for games but this is currently my personal GOTY

In this whole Kojima, Sony, Xbox situation, I didn’t even think about the Decima engine (which I still feel is somehow underrated) and the potential ramifications that might have on PHYSINT. Also…my brain doesn’t know how exactly to pronounce that title. Everything sounds wrong

Ok so… A) apparently I wasn’t anywhere near as close to the end as I thought and B) HOLY SHIT THIS GAME IS GOOD

I’m still playing Star Wars Zero Company. Pretty sure I’m about to roll credits. Man…what a game. If you’re a Star Wars fan, you’re doing yourself a disservice if you pass on this. Anyways here’s my Hawks

“Oh my god they made Psylocke so ugly!!” I feel like Insomniac released this footage of…ahem…LADY DEATHSTRIKE…who they already showed and confirmed weeks ago…to see who’s actually paying attention and make the chuds dance like puppets

Wait I have to buy Onimusha TOO?!?!? My poor funds

Fast forward and Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the greatest games I’ve ever played and Star Wars Zero company is in serious contention for my Game of the Year Who even am I anymore

I genuinely hope to one day too achieve this cause right now my brain does not vibe with turn based and I know I’m missing out 😞

So I may or may not have been 8 minutes late picking my kid up from school cause I was wrapping up a mission. Don’t you judge me

Close enough Welcome back Mass Effect! Nah but for real, this feels way more like Mass Effect than I ever expected & I mean that in the best possible way

AAAAAAAASRGGJGJJJNGH!!!! They really did it! Never taking the Ultimate universe Wolverine suit off

MediumRareGamer@mediumraregamer.bsky.social

As part of the recent hands-on, someone who has played the game tells me the Ultimate Wolverine suit design is available as an option in the upcoming Wolverine Insomniac game and that was literally my most desired suit (which I thought would be a long shot) so I couldn’t be happier
