Does everyone focus on one game at a time, juggle a bunch of games at once, or buy games but just go back to dota 2/overwatch/rocket league/etc

I focus on one game at a time

I've been wondering, Has there been a game where midway, or at the end a party member betrays you and takes all the equipment they had equiped with them?
It would be a dickmove, but surely a developer has done this?

I have played at least 15 games like this but the only one I can remember at the top of my head is Child of Light

They'll probably fix it but it has the same animation problem as the Surge where enemies don't really react to getting hit (besides a squirting blood animation)

I hope it's good

In my limited time with MOBAs, the playerbase has categorically been the most unpleasant to be around. I think everything about Dota is kind of engineered to bring out the worst traits in people and it shows. Even the occassional HotS goon group has had 1 or 2 really disagreeable people who start getting emotional and lashing out because their beautiful Tracer is getting hurt by the big mean Diablo. It's pathetic.

I played LoL with goons way back and they kept assuring me they wouldn't be hard on me since I told them I was new and then during the match they started getting angry at me for playing bad.

And then later *I* was the one getting angry and lashing out at people and then I stopped playing MOBAs completely

The enemies don't stagger in the trailer that was linked earlier (or really respond to being hit)

I also expect the reverse of Dark Souls ~lore~ and it will have lots of anime cutscenes with over exposition and melodrama

I must say that Prey 2017 is making me retroactively regret ever touching Bioshock Infinite. It's an irrational reaction and the only one of this type I've ever had but somehow the way Prey embraces and sometimes expands upon the freedom of System Shock makes Bioshock Infinite's horrendous treatment of it and self-important plot seem so awful in comparison that it magnifies my negative opinion about it.

Given the themes in Prey 2017's plot I'm surprised it didn't end up pretentious (though the ending is a bit of a let down)

the e3 thread will be ready to go as soon as ubisoft and nintendo say when they're doing their thing which i'm assuming will be sometime this week

three of the conferences are on the weekend this year and for some reason the really boring PC Gaming Show is going to be at noon rather than late at night where it belongs as a sleep aid

Maybe I'll actually watch this year if it's on the weekend (while playing something)

FPS with some rpg mechanics in a world with very deliberate design allowing players to approach objectives in multiple ways. If you love exploring in video games and being rewarded for it you'll probably like it. Like to get from point A to B there's probably 2~3 different things you can do

2 is the best; 3 was a bit eh since they leaned a little too hard on the multiplayer and RPG aspects (but 3 has the best music except for 2's theme song)

I was miffed that it was 1 getting remastered at first too
