As our Tim Clark wrote when he complained about live service games wasting players’ time just to boost phoney player engagement numbers, “almost everyone reading this will be familiar with games that use predatory design in order to keep players logged in, whether that be to juice those all-important Daily Average User numbers so beloved of shareholders, or just in the hope that you might crack and drop some dollars in the MTX store.” The main example he gave was of Hearthstone’s revised weekly quest system, which tripled the targets players would have to reach to clear those quests while…
To the surprise of nobody, the Fallout TV series will be getting a second season. Until yesterday, I had assumed that a second season was guaranteed—especially given the enticing finale of the first season—but actually, it had not: a report in The Wrap published on April 15 revealed that Prime Video had yet to purchase a second season. Both the Prime Video and Fallout X accounts confirmed the second season today, triggering an onslaught of approving Fallout-themed memes. In an accompanying Variety report, executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy exclaim that “we can’t wait to blow up the world…
Ahead of the series premiere of Fallout last week, some fans of the franchise worried that dropping all of the Season 1 episodes on a single day might hurt its chances for renewal. Fortunately, that didn’t turn out to be the case. Amazon Prime Video has officially renewed the series, and Fallout Season 2 is on the way just eight days after the show’s debut. Wouldn’t want to keep you on the edge of your seat, now, would we? See you back in the Wasteland for SEASON 2. pic.twitter.com/ULs6DEPHDW — FALLOUT⚡️ (@falloutonprime) April 18, 2024 “Praise be to our insanely…
Since Warhammer 40,000’s 10th edition was released last year, each of the wargame’s factions has been getting the traditional rules refresh in the form of a new Codex book. The latest deals with the Adeptus Custodes, genetically engineered bodyguards of the Emperor so gigantic they make space marines look weedy. (They also happen to be Henry Cavill’s army of choice). There are 10,000 of them and in the past they’ve only ever been depicted as men. In this latest iteration, shock horror, at least two of the Custodes are women. Most players seem to have responded to this by shrugging…

After nearly 50 years, the Rocky franchise is now nine movies deep. While almost all of them have gotten the 4K treatment over the years, there are still a couple of these films–1990’s Rocky 5 and 2006’s Rocky Balboa–that don’t yet have 4K Blu-rays for you to put on your shelf. But that won’t be the case for much longer, because you can preorder the 4K Blu-ray sets for both Rocky 5 and Rocky Balboa right now. These new Rocky Blu-rays include each movie in 4K, standard Blu-ray, and digital download formats, and package it all in collectible steelbook cases…
It’s impossible not to notice that while the success of the Fallout TV show is getting lots of people excited about Fallout, there’s no new Fallout game to play. Fallout 76 is over five years old, and Fallout 4 turns nine this year. Bethesda is going to make a Fallout 5, but you might lose your money if you bet that it’ll be out by 2030. The observation that Bethesda might’ve missed an opportunity has been made many times on social media, and yeah, I assume it would’ve been prudent business-doing to have dropped a new Fallout game somewhere in…
