I cannot believe I am writing this.
Vince Zampella, a titan of the video game industry, the co-creator of Call of Duty and co-founder of Respawn Entertainment, not to mention a dear friend, died in a car crash yesterday in Los Angeles.
This is an unimaginable loss, and our hearts are with Vince’s family, his loved ones, and all those touched by his work. Vince’s influence on the video game industry was profound and far-reaching. A friend, colleague, leader and visionary creator, his work helped shape modern interactive entertainment and inspired millions of players and developers around the world. His legacy will continue to shape how games are made and how players connect for generations to come.

Vijayanagara is one of the best light/medium wargames which I played in the recent years. I am trying to explain this opinion in below review. Enjoy!

Playing Vijayanagara is source of constant joy for me, @whovian223 & @cliosboardgames . We recently finished series of games which I would like to report in below article. That was fun - enjoy!

@pbonn1989@SpencerHakimian "we will provide China what was agreed to" is kind of fucking unclear if you ask me. But it's ok, most people don't see that.
One of my greatest discoveries of last year was Vijayanagara. Let us check what fascinated me!

@VGC_News I am really enjoying the game. But then, I love historical tourism! So maybe that is why I am a fan?
And that is ok? To like a game for that reason? World/setting + History?
Yes, it is!
Having a blast wandering the world and reading the historical notes and talking to Tokugawa.
@Tiger_Tear@shinobi602 I think the story is more enjoyable when/if you also dive into the historical tidbits.
The lore entries are fantastic and very digestable, and there is a slew of very well known historical figures like Ieyasu Tokugawa, Hattori Hanzo, Momochi Sandayu etc.
Check wikipedia!
I understand not liking a game. I understand hating a game. I understand hating a game cuz you feel it stands against everything you believe in -- but I don't understand hating things just because some dude told you to. Don't let people monetize your passion. Be your own dude!
