Video Game News and Miscellany

Guess which classic video game is getting an animated series!

No, wait, don't bother, you'll never guess because why the fuck is Golden Axe getting a series in 2024?
Because people have never stopped wanting to see more of Tyris Flare.

... or maybe that's just me?

On a side note, seeing Liam McIntyre in the cast list made me realize that I've basically not seen him in anything since Spartacus, and a quick gander at his Wikipedia page shows that he's mainly a voice actor now? Huh, cool, good for him.

Okay, I assume this is Comedy Central belatedly trying to rip-off imitate the Castlevania series Netflix did.

Hmm, I wonder if Sega started work on a new Golden Axe game because they knew this was potentially happening, or if CC just asked for something like Castlevania & Sega thought "hey, if we give them the GA license we can cross promote with our new game we're working on".
 
Cities Skylines 2 dev offers refunds, makes DLC free, apologizes

After a bad launch, and following it up with a horrendously disappointing DLC, they're now giving that new Beach Properties DLC for free and refunding anyone who bought it. Anyone who bought the Ultimate Edition will get free content worth $39.95 down the line.

I was on the verge of buying C:S2 at launch, but man, I'm glad I waited. I still haven't bought it and I'm not in any rush now.

Before it released, I made myself a personal promise not to buy C:S2 until they brought back cycling and cycling infrastructure. I get the feeling I'll be waiting a long while. If it ever comes back, hopefully the game is greatly improved by that point.

For those of you like me who play the shit out of 7 Days to Die, after 15 years of early access the game is going to 1.0.

View attachment 47891
Having been playing since Alpha... 9 or 10 (or whatever it was in late 2014) and over 1400 hours in game, it's been a long road to 1.0 / Alpha 22.

For those who haven't played it yet - it's on sale on Steam for 76% off until April 29 before the price will increase for full release.
