The Queue: It’s Thursday (again)

Yesterday was Wednesday, and to be honest I wasn’t sure how we managed to get halfway through the week without me noticing. But now it’s Thursday and we’ve gotten more than halfway through the week without me noticing.

Time is tough, man. Who can keep track of this stuff? I’m not a clock.

But I do know it’s Thursday, which means it’s time for me to write the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I do my best to answer your (mostly) gaming (mostly) questions. Let’s get started.


The Queue: THQ Nordic disappointed me

I played Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning a lot. A lot. It’s one of my favorite games and I’ve argued many times that it’s a significantly better game than Skyrim and deserved better, and also that Rhode Island shouldn’t be allowed to invest in computer game studios.

So when THQ Nordic bought KoA and re-released it along with a brand new DLC, I was temporarily excited. But in the end, what ended up happening was that I got many hours of excellent play out of the original game and its two DLC’s, and then I played Fatesworn and it didn’t feel good. It felt like a fanfic of the original game, not an actual DLC, and the idea that the Fateless One’s ultimate reward was…

I’ll just move on to the first question.


The Queue: For the love of the game

Yes, of course I made several barely-considered but inexpensive purchases for the current Steam sale. I am not made of stone, here. And yes, of course, since the start of the current Steam sale I have added more than double the number of games to my wishlist as I have impulsively purchased. And so shall the sun rise again in the morning.

This is The Queue, our daily column where it seems like you have questions but you already have the answers you want me to give. So.
