Everyone has a fighting chance
We spend hours and hours discussing our favorite games and looking to what’s to come. In all of that, it’s easy to lose sight of how much we have to appreciate in the here and now. In honor of the Thanksgiving holiday, and all of the people around the world who make our hobby possible, we’re devoting this special edition of the RPG Files to what we love in gaming. Join us in sharing our gratitude and let us know what you’re grateful for in the comments below!
Are exploration missions in FFXIV fun? Or is the fun being optimized out of the experience? Let’s take a look.

You are not prepared for my first impressions of the Demon Hunter! A new World of Warcraft expansion is like our Olympics, or the World Cup. Every few years it swings around and becomes all consuming, until we forget about it a few months after the fact. Some of us, at least.
MOBAs are the hottest new genre that it seems like every company needs to develop a game for, and NCsoft is no different. The key thing here is that Master X Master, which was announced some years ago and is expected to arrive in the latter half of 2016, isn’t just another MOBA. As part of my trip to Korea to check out NCsoft’s headquarters in Pangyo, South Korea, we also attended roughly a half hour of hands on time with Master X Master, including a preview of its PvE and PvP elements.
As the year comes to a close, we catch up with WildStar’s story so far, and take a peek at what might lie over the horizon.
