Steam reviews launched at “Very Positive” before sliding to “Mixed” within months. The complaints tracked with the critical consensus (loading screens, repetitive POIs, no seamless exploration), but the community reaction intensified dramatically around monetization. Bethesda’s “Creations” storefront reintroduced paid mods, and the inclusion of a $7 bounty hunting quest called “The Vulture” drew immediate comparisons to the infamous Oblivion horse armor debacle. Review-bombing campaigns hit both Steam and Metacritic. The Shattered Space DLC, released September 30, 2024, made things worse. Priced at $30, the expansion abandoned procedural generation for a single hand-crafted planet called Va’ruun’kai, centered on the theocratic House Va’ruun and leaning into cosmic horror themes. Critics appreciated the focused design but hammered it for introducing zero new mechanics, no new skills, and no new ship components. It landed at a 62 on Metacritic and “Mostly Negative” on Steam, with a user score of 4.9. Players pointed to CD Projekt Red’s Phantom Liberty as the gold standard for what a premium expansion should deliver, and Shattered Space suffered brutally from the comparison. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/d5896c05-446a-4705-a3c1-505f3a1c578b/Starfield6.png AF Editorials - Starfield: The $400 Million Question Bethesda Still Can’t Answer - Make it stand out The shipbuilding mechanic is one of the highlights of Starfield. https://www.daysofourdice.com/af-editorials/Blog Post Title One-3zaa9-zlxng-67tfc-ggwrx monthly 0.5 2026-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/249a9878-e461-4cf7-a73c-c42fbc9ec0e6/pokeFire+Leaf1.png AF Editorials - Kanto Never Dies Fire, Not Water One of the most telling creative decisions happened before a single line of code was written. The original 1996 games launched in Japan as Red and Green, but were localized in the West as Red and Blue. For the remakes, Masuda reverted to the Japanese pairing globally. His reasoning was surprisingly philosophical: he felt that fire and water inherently represented conflict (one extinguishes the other), while fire and leaf represented natural, peaceful coexistence. The icon of a leaf suggested tranquility. That mattered to him, because these remakes were built around cooperation and connection, not just competition. It’s a small detail, but it reveals how intentionally Masuda was thinking about tone. These weren’t cash-grab re-releases. He was trying to shape the emotional register of the entire product, right down to the color on the box. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/24065afd-f2fe-4f6d-9d7e-d45cede71f65/pokeFireLeaf2.png AF Editorials - Kanto Never Dies The Engine Under the Hood For players approaching these games in 2026, especially through the new Switch ports, understanding what’s mechanically different about the Generation III engine is critical. These are not the stripped-down originals you remember. Every Pokémon now carries a Nature (boosting one stat by 10% while penalizing another) and a passive Ability. These systems didn’t exist in 1996. They add genuine strategic texture. Koffing’s Levitate ability, for instance, completely neutralizes its Ground-type weakness, turning a matchup that used to be a death sentence into a non-issue. Competitive players will immediately feel these differences; casual players will absorb them intuitively as they build their teams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/f09f2701-3ac5-498b-9b45-767a2e00d432/PokeFireLeaf4.png AF Editorials - Kanto Never Dies The Gravity of 151 Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen created a template. Revisit an older region. Update the engine. Preserve the soul. Sell millions. Game Freak has followed this playbook with HeartGold and SoulSilver, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. None of those later remakes displaced FRLG as the community’s preferred version of Kanto. Not even the fully 3D Let’s Go games managed that. https://www.daysofourdice.com/af-editorials/tag/Starfield monthly 0.5 https://www.daysofourdice.com/af-editorials/tag/PC monthly 0.5 https://www.daysofourdice.com/af-editorials/tag/pokemon monthly 0.5 https://www.daysofourdice.com/af-editorials/tag/gameboyadvanced monthly 0.5 https://www.daysofourdice.com/af-editorials/tag/Xbox monthly 0.5 https://www.daysofourdice.com/af-editorials/tag/nintendoswitch monthly 0.5 https://www.daysofourdice.com/coffee-after-midnight-coffee-reviews daily 0.75 2026-03-08 https://www.daysofourdice.com/coffee-after-midnight-coffee-reviews/Blog Post Title One-3zaa9-zlxng-67tfc-tfbdx monthly 0.5 2026-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/45597dbc-ccc9-4109-abcf-f1e9f241b269/air+roaster1.png Coffee After Midnight Coffee Reviews - Cameron's Coffee Breakfast Blend Review: Always Smooth? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.daysofourdice.com/coffee-after-midnight-coffee-reviews/tag/Cameron%27s+Coffee+review monthly 0.5 https://www.daysofourdice.com/coffee-after-midnight-coffee-reviews/tag/Cameron%27s+Breakfast+Blend monthly 0.5 https://www.daysofourdice.com/coffee-after-midnight-coffee-reviews/tag/best+budget+coffee monthly 0.5 https://www.daysofourdice.com/coffee-after-midnight-coffee-reviews/tag/light+roast+coffee+review monthly 0.5 https://www.daysofourdice.com/daysofourdice daily 0.75 2026-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/5df6548d-4e52-4a4c-b14d-5f714f853e05/LHq1.png DAYS OF OUR DICE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/cdfcf8c2-cf58-4797-b11e-662c40402683/2d_fantasy_video_202510010013.gif DAYS OF OUR DICE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/31349798-0260-4941-a231-834c5590f25e/valv7.png DAYS OF OUR DICE A fantasy digital artwork of a female demon with pink skin, purple hair, yellow eyes, pointed ears, and large spiral horns, wearing a dark ornate armor, surrounded by glowing pink and purple butterflies in a mystical setting with stone columns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/b6b659f5-b031-4e68-be40-66fdaa790ee7/malvi2.png DAYS OF OUR DICE Digital artwork of a androgynous person with long wavy platinum blonde hair, one eye concealed by hair, wearing a black leather jacket with ornate embroidery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/a4e0fcd2-eba5-4f8a-b9d6-0faf2fdad6bf/kroth2.png DAYS OF OUR DICE Fantasy warrior with long white hair, muscular build, holding a sword, standing in front of stormy sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/ebad8b04-a170-4ef2-beaa-2ee7d8fce849/nala1.png DAYS OF OUR DICE A woman with a jaguar face and a human body dressed in black leather armor, holding a recurve bow, with a jaguar tail and fur pattern visible on her clothing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/1737338705216-9Z9KM7UN5VHYXB9SJC2X/arca2b.jpg DAYS OF OUR DICE A dark wizard dressed in a flowing cloak with a tall pointed hat, riding a black horse across a desolate landscape with dramatic clouds overhead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/01698a8b-e669-4eca-8775-a0b54ba3d38d/wy1.png DAYS OF OUR DICE A humanoid dragon character with red scales, black horns, and sharp features, dressed in a black leather jacket, standing against a neutral background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/fdf85969-1d41-4efb-9166-f41a9744af34/Winn1.png DAYS OF OUR DICE A dark, fantasy-style illustration of a female figure with glowing eyes, long flowing hair, cracked pale skin, dressed in black leather clothing and hat, surrounded by black swirling smoke. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/1755056163128-78L2LT80OYHRJ5CHC0FL/ly5.png DAYS OF OUR DICE Fantasy elf woman with long, wavy platinum blonde hair and pointed ears, wearing dark armor with layered shoulder plates, against a dark background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/678d3ba94efaf402bd851c62/5cf1f1fd-d995-464d-af37-309d56453721/Kitgith2.png DAYS OF OUR DICE A fantasy character with green skin and long red curly hair, wearing detailed silver armor and a green outfit.
