Thatâs the first time that cod has been mildly interesting in the last 18 years or so lmao
If you even wondered what the Postal games were all about but didnât want to spend money on them then youâre in luck, RWS are giving it away for free
âThe game includes fantasy drug use, but in the Review Boardâs opinion, the game mechanic ultimately provides disincentives related to drug-taking behaviourâŚâ
âThe game also contains high impact themes that are justified by the context of colonists surviving in an inhospitable fantasy world.â
So they banned it because drugs exist in the game but everything else (like slavery) is justified and a-ok
What is it with Australia and drugs? Disco Elysium was banned for same reason when everything else was all acceptable.
Except the Steam Release is the best release and has mod support.
For someone thatâs just curious, the GoG version is a good option.
In response to Segaâs Sonic Origins pricing announcement, youâve got to love this savagery from Devolver, the developers behind the upcoming Trek to Yomi!
Our country doesnât like depictions of drug use if the consequences for doing so are not shown.
No Telltale involvement is a bit scary to me. From what Iâve heard and seen of the writing/characters in Borderlands 3, I wouldnât trust them to keep the TFTBL style intact.
I would be worried but since I hate how they left every single on of those plot threads dangling I am going to have to say, bring it on.
Also I heard the new Borderlands game had better writing than 3 so who knows?
Given that the initial marketing here is specifically mentioning New characters and events, it doesnât look like theyâll be continuing on from the previous TFTB.
IMO that might be a good thing, if its a different team.
Ooh, some mixed feelings here. I actually used to be a proper big fan of Borderlands back in 2011-2015, I have several hundred hours in BL1, BL2, and The Pre-Sequel each. I adored Tales From the Borderlands, easily the best Borderlands narrative of any of the games. Then the gap between games happened, I lost touch with my co-op buddies, and when Borderlands 3 arrived, it just didnât quite meet the hype. Didnât help that The Pre-Sequel ended with a big teaser for the third game, where there was the tease that every surviving Vault Hunter/aka every playable character still alive from every game thus far was going to be in 3 to battle a war, Avengers style. Borderlands 3 decided to drop and ignore that plot point and instead we got a mix of characters and a pretty underwelming plot. I have alot of problems with 3âs plot, including the decision to kill off a couple of major characters. I havenât played the BL3 DLCs yet, not sure if they are any better, have barely kept up with any of Wonderlands.
So yeah, Gearbox running off and making their own Tales game without Telltale involvement doesnât sound terribly promising to me.
This one was new to me and looks really interesting, especially if you enjoyed Fenyx Rising. Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is a fantasy RPG inspired by Greek and Roman mythology with elements of gameplay resembling Horizon and Tomb Raider. Assuming there are no delays, it is supposed to be coming in autumn/fall 2022 to all major platforms.
To quote the game director, Cheng Hsien Lin, you play as Hilda of the Northwind Legion as she sets out âin order to save her lost father, whilst discovering the truth behind the cityâs curse.â
Edited to add a link to a discussion of the game from the game director at Xbox Wire:
RIP Ubi
They´ve also sacked online support for a lot of their older games, and the fact that they completely cut off access to the singleplayer Uplay rewards/unlocks (even if previously redeemed) without providing an alternative just shows how much they don´t give a shit (surprise surprise). And what a bright idea it was to lock content behind a launcher âpaywallâ in the first placeâŚ
I am genuinely frightened if this touches games in the future where Uplay rewards actually include gameplay content (looking at you, The Da Vinci Disappearance). Actually, from what I´m seeing, AC2´s support got killed off last year and the Auditore family crypt may have been affected. Guess it´s time to launch a new game and check to see if I need to send Ubi a fuck you emailâŚ
Edit:
So if these (very recent) articles are to be believed, the content should be available, though not for all games (Ezio trilogy seems to be covered though, so that´s a plus).

Fuck Ubisoft.
Shame, shame, shame
I wonder if the guy behind their Sonic Twitter account can come up with a witty comment about this.
