Instead he says that “this notion

At the time, the story-focused Inkle Studios had only this to share: “swords, anguish, Britain, unrequited, forests, hope, and revenge.” As of today we’ve still got no imagery to go with all the teasing but
It’s no secret that I love playing brawlers in TERA. And with the release of the Fists of Justice content update, I get to add another race/class combo to my stable of fighters—the popori brawler—and I’ll be punching like mad to get him up to max level to take on one of my favorite dungeons:

It’s come to everyone’s attention that Blizzard have revamped their User Generated Content policy just in time to launch Warcraft 3: Reforged, and claim ownership of all maps made in its editor.

Obviously, as a Hideo Kojima game, Death Stranding is replete with cutscenes, some of them quite lengthy. Yet, arguably the most annoying of the bunch lasts a mere 10 seconds or so. The cutscene in question is the “Warning” that players see when first entering BT territory. Thankfully, Death Stranding Update 1.10 will give fans the option to
