The product of its lineage It’s become exceedingly easy in recent years to point the finger at any four player cooperative game in Japan and call it aMonster Hunterclone. I’m not particularly fond of this way of thinking. Despite my love ofMonster Hunter(200+ hours inMH4), I think many of the various hunting action games have unique, interesting qualities that separate them from one another. Perhaps that’s why I had been so jazzed to check outFinal Fantasy Explorers, Square Enix’s first attempt to dabble in the hunting action genre....

Buggy launch took developer by surprise XCOM 2might be a fine strategy game, but for many players, it’s one marred by bugs. Speaking withRock, Paper, Shotgun, lead designer Jake Solomon expressed surprise at the title’s rocky launch, saying “I can honestly say that we didn’t know it would be this way.” “Maybe this is damning on me, but I’m sitting here talking to you now on the laptop I use to play [the game] on,” Solomon said, explaining he didn’t see the issues currently plaguing a sizable portion of theXCOM 2player base, and the problems didn’t come up in pre-release testing....

Even better, the Hardcore Headquarters and Variety Map Pack Only playlists are being turned on, and yes, this goes for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game....

Bastion of the Dead The Games Awards just let loose a trailer for Supergiant’s next title. Bearing a strong resemblance to bothBastionandTransistor,Hadesis a new action game where death is only the beginning. The details were vague, but I like the art style and the music seems awesome (as is typical with Supergiant). The description for the trailer reveals thatHadeswill be a rogue-like dungeon crawler. I’m guessing procedural generation isn’t a thing, because that level design looks a little more calculated than normal....

Jimquisition happens every Monday! Preorder culture expects gamers to trust developers more than ever, but how does that work when they inspire so little faith? The “take cash now, provide content later” tactic is currently serving companies well, but with recent disappointments likeAliens: Colonial Marinesdemonstrating how falsely advertised a game can be, one suspects it’s a plan that cannot last. It certainly shouldn’t be allowed to go on.
