Darksiders used to be a damn good copy of Zelda. Now it’s a damn awful ripoff of Dark Souls. Yet another game that doesn’t understand why the Souls series is successful, THQ Nordic’s heartbreaking Darksiders III annoys and exasperates at every turn. On top of that, it’s a stripped down…
Ubisoft, by way of a PR rep, has defended loot boxes after people found them distasteful in Trials Rising. They hammered through both usual and unusual excuses, and did so in a way that truly offended my senses. AAA publishers are not just riding this gravy train into oblivion, they’re…

Because the industry is TOTALLY healthy and NOT AT ALL broken, “AAA” publishers have found yet another way to avoid simply giving you a product for a simple cash trade. Pre-order Early Access has been growing in popularity these last few years, and now they know they’ve gotten away with…
