What's with the eh... bretonnian dance, sir?

Doom Invasion sounds kickass, I love being able to do stuff like that in games.

Also DMC5 easy my game of the year for the most part.

It has to be intentional. They're so worried about the game they're trying to make sure literally no one plays it.

How do we feel about Death Stranding? I honestly think this could be a hugely amazing game. Like, the chances are very high.

At this point I think I don't really care of Death Stranding is a "good" game. I just want it to be as weird as it appears to be. That's not just in the story sense--I really hope that the game mechanics are as idiosyncratic as they appear to be. I don't know if I expect it to be fun exactly, I just want it to be interesting. If it's fun on top of that, great. If the story is good on top of that, also great.

An off switch for the feature, which only really turns off any notice that it's happening. :devil:

I see no reason to not expect it to be one of the greatest video games ever made.

My only worry with Death Stranding is that it's going to be another MGSV situation where we've already seen like 80% of the cutscenes in trailers and most of the game will be dialogue-free wandering.

I’m definitely with you. When most other major releases can be summed up as “popular franchise, but more of it”, it’s refreshing that there’s an upcoming video game with a budget that also promises to be properly unique.

My PlayStation bux are on DS being “an interesting failure” ofc

Death Stranding will be weird and wordy enough that people who only ever want to engage with things on a very surface level will mistake it as deep and finally be able to tell themselves Games Are Art (TM).

ZOE1 is like, at worst, a 6/10. It did feel a bit like a proof of concept for ZOE2 but it's still certainly not a bad game.

This was in response to the NBA commissioner standing up for what the houston rockets guy said, but this kinda applies to the hearthstone situation, and the reasoning is hilariously thin-skinned.

Adam Silver gave the most milquetoast-rear end statement too. It was essentially "the GM can say whatever he wants we're not going to stop him"


"We believe that any speech that challenges national sovereignty and social stability is not within the scope of freedom of speech" is also some poo poo that really should be unpacked because that's shocking.

The official Hearthstone forum is in full meltdown mode with people blasting Blizzard. Their moderators are in overdrive mode with suspending every single person and deleting threads. I made a post about no longer feeling comfortable with supporting Blizzard, it attacked absolutely no one, and had no vulgar language, and I was just hit with a 1 month probation.

I went to Blockbuster day 1, and they only had the Zoe disk in the case. i had to ask them to pull it from the back, because they weren't putting them in the system. Then i never took the demo disk back.

Zoe was good too though. The vs mode is still one my favorite fighters ever.

What makes the hearthstone situation really loving awful is that the 2 interviewers who probably had no idea what the player was gonna say were fired.

Thats pretty much a statement by blizzard that someone on air can use China's thin skin as a weapon against interviewers to get them fired through no fault of their own.
