Interested in Yakuza 6, and God of War this month but will have to wait until later this year I think. I am moving into my first ever house that I purchased with my fiancee, so will be super busy with that. Also planning our wedding for June. Going to just stick to playing a backlog of games and Diablo III.

Star Citizen is probably my favourite classic April Fools joke

I was looking up the status of that game the other day. It's original 1.0 launch was to be in 2014. As of today it is in 3.1 pre-alpha.

I started on Mafia III today. This game is super good. The storyline at least right now is fantastic.

Is ELEX a good game? It is $25 right now on Steam. Was wondering if anyone here has it and how they enjoyed it? http://store.steampowered.com/app/411300/ELEX/

Do you like jank rear end open world Euro RPGs Gothic and Risen? If so you'll love ELEX.

I really didn't. :/ I do like the setting of ELEX though, but as far as post apocalypse settings go, I might want to just stick to playing Horizon Zero Dawn.

No it sucks and I like jank. They don�t do anything cool with the setting or the factions either.

That's a bummer. I'll wait until it's free on PS+ or included in Humble Bundle Monthly.

Phil Fish was a good game creator that said stupid things and gamers got mad but like to a stupid degree like they tend to and eventually he got sick of being told to kill himself every time he posted anything, so he dropped out of making games and posting online and then people got mad at him for that.

No one got mad at him, he was just relentlessly made fun of for being a huge dork. Canceling Fez 2 and getting out of making games was hilarious and he got mocked even more for being a thin skinned little turd.

Weapon durability systems are a crime and weapon durability systems that actually matter are a hanging offense.

This is why I skipped Breath of the Wild. I'm probably the only Switch user that doesn't have that game.

I never did finish Yakuza 5. I got up to the part after the mountain village you make it to after escaping from prison, and then the game got really boring and tedious to me.

So Bloodborne is considered Souls game but Demon's Souls isnt?

Whoever said that is being super silly. You could even argue that the Kings Field series are Souls games as well. They are the titles that Demon's Souls was inspired by.

I haven't played Final Fantasy XIV in a long time, not since the previous expansion came out. So my account doesn't have Stormblood. One of the things that really bothered me about FFXIV was the gated content and being forced to go through a lot of group content in order to continue with large portions of the game. Is this still true?

Implies that game won�t receive an end-of-life transition to free-to-play, either.

Rip in pieces Lawbreakers. All *checks steamspy* 10 players are surely heartbroken.

Game might have turned out better if CliffyB didn't spend all of his time harassing women on Twitter during the peak development time of the title.

Humble Bundle Monthly is more popular then I thought. Last months ended finally and once it did there must have been a huge rush of people as it crashed the site.

I'm excited to get Kerbal Space Program, and Ruiner. I heard real good things about both. Dead Rising 4 is suppose to be pretty bad though isn't it?

Apparently Grand Theft Auto V has sold 90 million copies as of today. Between that and the ability buy in-game currency with real money, GTAV is the most profitable piece of entertainment ever released.

Discussion prompt: how do you play video games? Do you play them one at a time, or do you have multiple going at once?

I usually have multiple going at once, but I sometimes get frustrated with this and try to just focus on one game at a time.

I started on Ruiner tonight. I like the game so far. The art style is beautiful, and the cyberpunk setting is awesome. I am always a sucker for cyberpunk settings though. The sudden quick flashes of text and characters is really annoying though, and the pacing is a bit rough with too many cutscenes.

While I generally agree with you, to be fair the trade off is that Sony puts out actual exclusives and new games.

Lord of the Rings Online is one of the only good MMORPGs because it has just about every single location in Middle Earth available to explore. Including the northern region of Mordor, and Minis Tirith which I decided to explore for a bit this morning because I haven't been there yet in the game.

I have no idea who Easy Allies is.

They are the former staff of GT Reviews. Undeniably the only place besides here, with reviews that are worth taking seriously. Easy Allies doesn't do clickbait or sensationalist opinion pieces like all of the major gaming sites do. They are not owned by anyone and rely entirely on Patreon and Youtube views to fund themselves.

Can't believe I'm seriously considering buying the 3DS version of Dragon Quest 8 just for the portability and instant alchemy feature, despite it kind of being a downgrade in every other way.

I don't feel like it will be a downgrade because it's only otherwise available on PlayStation 2. Yeah you can get a mobile phone version but no thanks to that. Those ports always suck.

Splatoon 2 is a game where I can handle losing, even though it happens frequently, because matches are only 3 minutes long. You're also rewarded even for loses and the difference between a win and loss is barely there. Overwatch is also a good example of this. I've had losses where I got more experience points then I did for a win. Whether you lose or win in that game doesn't matter in the slightest.

Well this would break new ground:

This is such a vague explanation of Black Ops 4 story campaign. Black Ops 3 was a full blown story campaign with co-op, and what is being described here sounds no different from that. Considering Polygon is reporting on it, I am going to assume everything is taken way out of context.

Yeah, in all seriousness, Kojima is kinda gross and i'm weirded out by the cult like worship he receives from every single game journalist who wants to be his personal best friend. In hindsight I can understand why Konami dropped him.
