I'm down for more Life is Strange and Mixtape looks cool. At this point with Fable, I'm just kinda shrugging my shoulders. I hope it turns out great but that series seems cursed as fuck after 2.
@zombiepie: I've said this countless times throughout the years, but bringing back pages with tracked status feeds and a way to track blogs by newest posted and/or followed users would be huge. As it stands now, the only way to find those things is either through the forums (see: busted search engine) or through your profile's status page, which is not the ideal way to track either. Give people a reason to want to blog again by giving them the tools to have their blogs actually seen for more than the five or six days it takes to cycle them out of the forum's first page.
I think inspiration could also be drawn from Gamespot's 2000s days, with badges and communities, though that would admittedly be a lot of effort for a questionable number of users. That said, whatever happens and whatever updates are made, staff involvement is also key to making users want to interact here as opposed to Discord or YouTube or wherever else the cool kids are interacting.
I'm here till the end. More or less. I have zero interest in blogging about games anymore because what the fuck could I add, but I still enjoy reading other people's words and I hope someday to see the Internet circling back to forums and blogs rather than the temporary Slack/Discord culture. Of course, I can also wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which fills up first.
