Assassin’s Creed Shadowsbegan getting crap for “historical inaccuracies” before it was even out. Back then, I remember chuckling at the notion that the series about reliving genetic memories via a sci-fi contraption was getting that kind of scrutiny, and I can’t help but laugh at it now. Regardless of what it gets right and what it portrays with a completely acceptable — and welcome — degree of artistic license,Shadowsdefinitely got one detail correct, and that’s the usage of the Portuguese language....

Time once more for the Badass of the Month Club,wherein the staff highlights a character or industry figure of noteworthy badassery.

He only stands at about waist-height of the other two heroes ofSecret of Mana, the game he appears in as a playable character....

And it mostly succeeded I got a chance to get my grubby little hands on the newest port ofDarkest Dungeonfor the Switch. The game is here in all of its unforgiving glory. It throws some text at you during the opening scenes, teaching you the basics of survival, but it leaves the important things for you to figure out on your own.Darkest Dungeondoesn’t care about your feelings. It was created to twist and break you while leaving you somehow stronger in the end....

The future is not looking so bright forDestiny 2, as some leaks allege that Bungie is scaling back yearly content in a major way. The game will supposedly move from the currentthree-Episodes-a-yearformat to two six-month seasons, with smaller DLCs replacing the major expansions players are used to.

While theDestinycommunity is no stranger to a seasonal content model, it has typically been presented in four seasons spaced out annually....
