Fate is a horrible video game to play solo. I understand, I did it for a year on Xbox One, after choosing the ‘other’ console to everybody else in the Eurogamer workplace at the start of the PlayStation 4 period. With a personnel loaded with previous Halo fans, there was no doubt Eurogamer would go deep on Destiny – so deep, some readers felt we wound up referencing it stealthily in practically every post.
Fate was a video game developed to motivate and reward gamers to coordinate with pals and play every day. Eurogamer’s personnel did, and I was awfully envious. When the video game’s very first growth The Taken King came out and I did get a PS4, I keep in mind grinding a brand-new character from scratch to prepare yourself and raid with the Eurogamer clan – Des Tiny OMG – as quickly as the doors to the brand-new raid opened.
Des Tiny OMG was a motley team, however I have numerous memories of those days. The nights invested tossing ourselves at raids and Nightfalls, the hours invested pootling around gathering Spirit Bloom, the lots of episodes of Love Island I heard in the background from the one gamer who would not silence their mic. Easier times. Anybody got rez? – Tom
Batman: Arkham Oranges
I’m extremely conscious that acknowledging something surreptitious developed to appear like a fault rather beats the entire point of it however, after more than a years, permit me this extravagance. Batman Oranges, our amusing misspelling of Batman: Arkham Origins, is most likely Eurogamer’s longest-running in-joke, though its own oranges do in reality lie with Rayman Oranges/Origins, which Google informs me came.
