So...Neogaf. What a shit show. Am I right?

Boring awards. BotW will obviously win everything. NieR, as far as I've read around the internet, should've been nominated in more categories. PUBG should not have been nomainated at all because it's not a finished game, yet. These awards are stupid anyway because the most popular games will win as everybody is allowed to vote But it will be fun to read how fanboys defend their favourite game and talk shit about other games

Never played Fire Emblem Heroes so I didn't know that. Well...they become shittier each day I'm very interested to see what the AC mobile game will be like. I fear the worst.

I consider any kind of microtransaction, be it cosmetic only or game changing, shitty. And that's why Nintendo, in my opinion, is almost as bad as all the other devs who do this. As long as Nintendo doesn't include a mechanic that enables gambling (i.e. loot boxes) to kids they are slightly better And with a lot of DLC I don't have much of a problem. Most of the DLC I have bought was well worth the money I spent. I do, however, get all the information I need to gauge whether I should buy it or not before I actually make the purchase.

I know I might get some heated responses but to be honest...Nintendo is almost as bad. To me amiibo is only slightly less shitty than microtransactions in other games. The only thing amiibo have going for them is that they can be used with several games. And seeing season passes in Nintendo games makes me sad. I had the same thought. In recent months I've only paid full price for one game (Destiny 2). The others have been bought second hand or during a sale. And I don't regret it. I had a lot of fun (even with games that include microtransactions) but as you said: A lot of games just don't feel like they are made with the thought in mind to bring joy to gamers. With many games I've played this year it felt like it was me who had to change how I play a game to make it fun, instead of the game just being fun on its own...if that makes any sense...it's difficult for me to describe these thoughts in English. The absolute most fun I've had in recent years was with Titanfall 2. The campaign was brilliant and with every mechanic I could feel how the developers intended it to be fun. Fun to play, fun to experience, fun to get wrecked on higher difficulties, fun to wreck on the easiest difficulty. Everything was enjoyable from start to finish. It's sad that this has become a rarity. Then there's Destiny 2. What I've played I've enjoyed. The shooting is great, the campaign was cool, but everything else...it was simply a matter of: Can I make it work? Can I get enough people together to take on the Raid? Can I manage to get this one weapon even though I don't need it? I set out goals for myself which isn't necessarily a bad thing but when you had to keep doing this for years now...it's getting stale. However, if a game is particularly great I do like setting out goals/create challenges. Most of the time this only happens with classics, though... I'm anticipating the relase of the next 8Bitdo controller so I can finally put my Raspberry Pi to good use. I've also set up my SNES again and played through DKC and Super Mario World...the good old times.

Same with Doom. On their own the games look kinda fine but compared to the other versions they look pretty bad. But it's 60fps so that's cool. How this is not available in the game at release is beyond me. It's basically the reason to play the game. Match-up with friends and play against randoms...they better patch it in a couple of days after release...

Have you considered writing reviews for a living?

I have a date in 10 days. The woman is almost 8 years younger than me, i.e. she's 20. No idea why I'm even doing that as I told myself I'll never deal with women so much younger than me again. But what do the kids these days keep saying? #YOLO?

Oh boy. My football team and I drank a lot of beer last night. Good Lord...everyone was absolutely shitfaced. I also smoked my first joint/spliff whatever the fuck it's called. Well, I smoked half of it...a lot of things became very funny to me for 30 minutes. My body keeps impressing me. Still haven't had a hangover in my life (except that one during keto once; that one doesn't count ). I am tired as fuck, though.

This is something I noticed. Being single and all that. Back in the days (not to say I'm old, but I swear a couple of years ago it was different) I could smile at a woman I've never met before and either get a smile back or the lady simply ignored me and moved on. The past few months I got a couple smiles back, but never have I been ignored...oh no, instead some kind of defense mechanism reared its head. I could read in their faces how they viewed me as some kind of threat. As if I was about to grope them or whatever. I'm not taking a side or anything, just sharing the experiences I've had recently which seem to fit a certain aspect of this development we're seeing.

Sadly no. I keep hearing good things about it. Might have to check it out rather sooner than later.

@Ganepark32 I've only played the first mission, so I can't say much. I'll get back to you when I've played more (can't say for sure when that will be, though).

After a pretty long play session on Wednesday I'm almost at the point where I can say: This CoD is even better than BO3, or rather even more enjoyable to me. BO3 obviously plays very differently to WWII (advanced movement vs boots on the ground). However, the current state of basically everything aside from the gameplay is atrocious. Inexcusable, actually. Lots of disconnects, lots of bugs...I haven't experienced any of them personally, but many others have. It's ridiculous.

I still dream of BotW with this engine.

Haven't had much time to play over the weekend but today is the day As usual the game had/has a horrible launch (server issues) but it seems much more stable now. The new War mode is fucking amazing. It's basically a sequence of objectives you have to complete/defend (destroy stuff, build stuff, "capture the flag", move a "payload", etc.) in a limited amount of time. It's so much fun. Especially since kills and deaths don't count towards players' K/Ds which encourages playing the objective, and it works. Contrary to other objective based modes people don't just sit in a corner without trying to win the game. Looks like War will be a core game mode that I will play a lot. I played one round of Zombies. It seems a little more streamlined for newer players which I welcome. I never really got into Zombies because I always found it a little too cryptic. With this iteration it appears that the "main quests" are easy to understand but still require some exploration. Then there's the obligatory easter egg for the hardcore Zombie players. Hardcore multiplayer is where it's at, though. Still need to learn the maps' layouts but I'm getting there. Campaign...need to get back to it All in all: So far the best CoD I've played since BO3, maybe ever (haven't played every installment, though).

Phew...all's good in the world. @Glen-i SUCK IT

Never change.

At least in video games. Skipping in real life? Fuck right off with that. No idea why, but I'm incapable of doing that.

Day one, I guess?

Got the game today. Currently in the first mission of the campaign and my goodness...the presentation is incredible. And the gunplay is amazing. If the campaign keeps this up it will be up there with Infinite Warfare's single player offering, which I enjoyed immensely. Played one match of Hardcore Team Deathmatch...I love it Here's hoping my best mate will buy this tomorrow. Would be up for a couple of sleepless nights rampaging through the servers
