Highguard saw a notable uptick in player numbers and positive reviews during its first weekend, following the introduction of a 5v5 match mode. The free-to-play shooter attracted a significant amount of interest and negative sentiment following its launch, which tapered off throughout the week.

My hot take about the “students cannot read whole novels / watch whole films / etc.” is that they can learn to do it. None of us are born with attention spans suited for long media. It is a learned skill and can be developed with practice.

Is Highguard a great game? No Should they have got the last trailer at the game awards? No. Does Highguard deserve all of the hate it’s getting? Absolutely not. Second wind did a great job pointing out the unnecessary hate Highguard has and how engagement bait feeds into it. #Highguard

The Titanfall games are my favorite multiplayer shooters of all time. I loved Apex Legends, and am loving Battlefield 6 now. A great person was lost today. Rest in peace Vince.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

Going to take a shot every time I hear “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” on the Game Awards tonight. #TGA #TheGameAwards

so insanely fucking real for this

I present: 4 games I played this year, and 1 game my wife played this year.

My game of the year prediction - the nominees will be: Hollow Knight: Silk Song Hades II Expedition 33 Death Stranding 2 Donky Kong Bonanza Arc Raiders With Expedition 33 winning the award.

Game developers need to calm down. I don’t have time to play Hollow Knight Silk Song, Hades II, Battlefield 6, Arc Raiders, and Dispatch, I gotta day job. For real though this year has had stellar releases. #videogames #HollowKnightSilkSong #HadesII #Battlefield6 #ArcRaiders #Dispatch

Fun thing to do when writing fantasy creation stories and mythos - making the stories have inconsistencies and unexplained and unnecessary details.

The closest game of Battlefield I’ve ever seen! #battlefield6 #bf6

Lorien must’ve set the studio on fire when he composed this song for Expedition 33. #Expedition33 #ClairObscurExpedition33#E33 open.spotify.com/track/0ILoxK...

After living in New England for a few years, and seeing what some people think is good fried chicken online, I have come to the realization that much of the U.S. does not know what good fried chicken really tastes like.

Looks like Oblivion is on the menu tonight 🔥🔥🔥. #Oblivion #OblivionRemastered #ElderScrolls

We got the new Baldur’s Gate 3 patch, Marvel Rivals season 2, and Overwatch Stadium coming up. There’s not enough time in the day to keep up with all of this. #baldursgate3 #marvelrivals #overwatch

Damn Zoh Shia got hands. #monsterhunter #monsterhunterwilds

The Monster Hunter Wilds story is definitely not great, but I’ll be forever grateful that there aren’t any siege missions. 🙌 🙌 🙌

Will there be a single Super Bowl movie trailer that isn’t just a live action remake?
