It was just a statement that I don't like that particular group of friends and I don't like spending time with them because she asked me why I didn't want to join them the last few times they did something. She can still meet them, I don't mind. And I would never say anything to her like "you should stop being friends with them". I really don't see what the big deal is...if she couldn't stand some of my friends I wouldn't care. It's perfectly normal not to like someone. And because I mostly say things as they are I was honest about it when she asked me. I don't know if she will break up with me. It was just something I said because I'm angry and because something like that happened in one of my past relationships (i.e. a woman not responding for almost two days and then breaking up).

To state the obvious: I didn't mean to "attack" them. I just called them out for disrupting conversations in the past (something which is currently happening in the dedicated thread) and I simply wanted them to stay clear of this place in case it takes off (which I doubt will happen but that's fine). It's not an excuse to express my frustrations. I partly made this thread just because of that. However, I mostly wanted to get some people to come here and post their thoughts and then respond to them. I just don't want to do that in the dedicated thread for reasons I've stated several times. I get your points and after having thought about it some more this thread will disappear very soon (not deleted but it wil vanish deep into the later pages of this board). That's fine. Maybe it would've been a better idea to have another "let's talk about this place" thread and keep things with the "real" NX thread. I think this thread here can be closed. I now think it wasn't a good idea at all and it might backfire.

Well, no matter what it is it apparently is a huge deal for her. No idea whether I'm in a relationship for much longer now or be single soon. Seeing as she doesn't respond to anything I say the latter seems quite likely.

Preface The Other NX Thread might be a bad idea and fail in what I hope to be its “purpose” but I wanted to give it a try. This thread will most likely contain negativity, criticism and worries about Nintendo and their hardware/software. It will include rumours and facts, talks about older consoles and future possibilities. Circular arguments may very well take up a majority of posts in here. A lot of stuff we’ve already read somewhere else will, in all likelihood, be found in this place. Comparisons to other companies (most likely Microsoft and Sony) and other games/consoles will be made and I can see how it might become ugly for either of the three big players. This will also, hopefully, be a place to discuss these matters calmly and rationally, but sometimes emotions will come through because we are passionate about gaming and still hold Nintendo very close to our hearts and want them to play a big part in our hobby again (assuming that Nintendo has lost some of us; a claim that I think isn’t too bold to make). This is NOT a thread for the likes of Ronnie, dazzybee and anyone else who can’t deal with the above. I don’t want to exclude you from the discussion but we’ve all seen that you don’t like what this will be about so I – for the sake of this thread – would like to encourage you to stay out of here. I apologize for dropping names but everybody would know who I mean, anyway, if I was vague about it. I know it’s another thread that might split this community in two but to be honest, it already is split. The problem that keeps arising is how both “parties” try to devalue each other’s opinions/posts and in turn move the conversations/discussions away from what they were meant to be about. With The Other NX Thread I hope that the people who would like to voice their worries and criticism can find a place to do so without being attacked but rather be challenged if someone disagrees. Bringing back people into the conversation who have been driven away by the constant bickering is also something I would love to see. Positivity is obviously welcome, too. Nintendo can provide so many things that make gamers happy it would be a shame to let these slide. tl;dr - a thread about discussing Nintendo’s upcoming hardware/software/anything that will most likely get ugly for the company; leave if you can’t handle this (why didn't I just post something like this in The Other Wii U Thread? I think creating a new thread will take most of the discussions that isn't welcome in the actual, dedicated thread away much better than a post in an already existing one) If admins/mods don't think this is a good idea feel free to close/delete this thread. I would collect rumours/information about the NX that are out there so that we’re all on the same page but I’m too lazy. :p If anybody wants to put some work into it, go ahead. Now, I don’t really want to express my opinions without anything to go on so I most likely won’t post here unless a conversation about certain aspects is already in progress. This might also cause a lack of posts in here if nobody wants to “make the first move” (I don’t think this will be a problem, though). (discussions don’t necessarily have to be about the NX, of course; anything Nintendo related is welcome; maybe even anything about the gaming industry)

Hm, I thought it was much better in the Beta. Adequate HP and I could take two hits without dying. And I was at a lower level than I had been when I beat him in the Alpha Because I used an Axe for 99% of my playtime I usually went with the high stance for immense damage output. I switched it up during the second phase of that particular fight, though. Being able to evade more is valuable than damage.

I didn't voice an opinion, though. I just stated the fact that I don't like them. I even told her that they are good people, it seems... Well, you're right. It's done now and I haven't heard from her in the last 24 hours. I guess it's time for me to apologize? Women...

The thing is, though, that she bitches about 50% of this particular group everytime we meet but she still spends time with them and acts like they are good friends. And when I said that I don't like them she got really mad. I didn't even say anything bad about them...I simply said "I don't like them". That's why I was wondering whether I was out of line with telling her. I would never do that. Especially because they seem to be nice people from what I've gathered. It's just that I don't like them. And my girflriend got so angry with me when I told her. I wanted to point out her hypocrisy but I also wanted to live, so...

But...nah, I won't go there. :p

Am I out of line when I tell my girlfriend that I don't like some of their friends and I really don't like spending time with them?

Spent the last few days at my girlfriend's so not a lot of gaming happened. I did, however, spend some more time with Downwell (PSVita). Such a lovely little game. Finished my first run just now and unlocked hard mode. Managed to get every trophy besides the hard mode trophies over the weekend, too. Enjoyed every second of it and I can't wait to beat the game again on the highest difficulty. : peace: Another Platinum will be mine soon, hopefully (it's currently 2.99€/£2.49; even at full price (4.99€/£3.99) it's a steal). Oh, and Sleeping Dogs...Don't text in real life and drive in a video game, people.

There was not a lot to watch here, then :p I've been avoiding posting in this thread for obvious reasons. I might post my thoughts about NX in the Other WiiU Thread (maybe create "The Other NX Thread"?), though. But who knows.

There will most likely only be a 1 year leap between the first and second season. Can't find the interview I read about this, though...

I've watched the trailers and I'm not disappointed. I just don't like how HelloGames and Sean Murray blatantly lied about what the final product would be and people have a right to be disappointed/angry. What's even more annoying is the fact that they were and still are silent about the matter.

You can't deny, however, that the game in no way looks like what we've seen in earlier trailers (not talking about graphics) and that a lot of stuff is missing. I don't really mind because I enjoy the game (not playing at the moment for reaons I've stated, though) but still...the devs and especially Murray have lost a lot of credibility and respect. And rightly so, in my opinion.

I've been playing Alienation occasionally these past few days, slowly plucking away at the requirements for one particular trophy: By the Power of Weird Alien Artifacts, I Have the Power! Insert 12 maximum level cores into a legendary quality weapon. You need 12 level 6 cores and of course one 12-slot legendary weapon. Slowly but surely I've collected 11 level 6 cores but that legendary just wouldn't drop. 20 minutes ago...Playing a mission I suddenly see an orange weapon on the ground. I walk towards it and out of habit just pick it up without taking a closer look. After the mission had ended, I checked my gear and HOLY FUCK, can you guess what I saw? YES. 12 slots on a legendary Heavy Machine Gun. So the most random aspect of that trophy is completed. Now to collect some more cores and maximize its powers After that I have to level up one class that I use in co-op play with a mate, finish the game and reach level 30 with a hardcore character and complete a couple more events and assignments.

Oh my God, the PS4 patch has been released. Looks like unlocks and trophies are fixed. Well, now waiting for the Vita patch which has been submitted to certification today..........................

Just watched the first two episodes of Rick and Morty. And I don't know. I just don't know. I laugh, I'm confused, I laugh, I'm stunned, I laugh, I can't even.

Mutant Blobs Attack is awesome. One of my first PSVita games. I think I never completed it, though... But there will come a time when I get back to it Been having a lot of fun with Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition. I slowly make my way through the story missions but most of the time I end up doing optional stuff It's great that collectibles are shown on the map after you've completed dates with the game's ladies. : peace: Combat (both close combat and gunplay) is amazing. So much fun. I have only been in one shootout but it's been such a joy. The slomotion after vaulting over cover is great. :awesome: The races are freaking awesome, too. So much fun. Rubberbanding actually works here as it makes races quite intense and not frustrating. Not being able to respawn when you fall of a bike can be frustrating, though...but it's only annoying in very long races. Also: Yes, totally planned.

Did you reach the second mission? It's more difficult than the first. I've died several times during my playthrough there (mostly against the boss). But I agree, it's not as difficult as the Alpha. I think that's a good thing for new players, though. I feel that if playing the Beta was my first time with Nioh I would probably get my ass handed to me a lot. Agree! You can feel the influence and inspiration the devs got from the Souls games but Nioh is definitely something different.

I finished the Beta and got the Mark of the Strong DLC : peace: The Beta isn't completed, though, because...well, I won't spoil it

That's why I've decided to take a break from it. Like you, I've put in around 40 hours already and really enjoyed my time with it but if I continue at this pace I will be burnt on it. I left myself several things to do (max out exo-suit and ship, travel through a black hole, travel to green/red/blue Star Systems, find Atlas Pass v2 and v3, follow the Atlas Route, travel to the centre, several trophies) and I will get back to the game after the first content patch. Edit: Managed to beat the second mission of the Nioh Beta and acquired the Mark of the Strong DLC for the full game. This game will be a hit : peace:

Yours must be very bright because I barely notice the light on my DS4...it doesn't even reach a wall that is more than 50cm away.

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions.

Sometimes I can get a perfect Ki pulse 4 times in a row and own enemies. Sometimes I fail absolutely everthing and in turn become too reckless. I'm almost at the first boss again (on the ship). I am very afraid A little advice: If you open up shortcuts they appear to reset when you exit and then re-enter the mission. Not sure if this happens on purpose but I had to find out the hard way... Edit: Beat the first boss without dying. He seemed to be nerfed, though. I was wrong about the two missions from the Alpha being available in the Beta. It's only the first mission from the Alpha that's included. Just finished the sub-mission and will start the second mission

I just wanted to give it a quick go...ended up playing for an hour. The missions from the Alpha are available and I've worked my way through a good chunk of the first. Haven't died, yet, but that was to be expected because now I know what the hell I'm doing. Pretty sure I'm ready to battle the first Yokai (the one in the hut). I can already see myself dying Thank god weapon durability has been removed. Now I don't suffer from the "too good to use syndrome" and just use the best weapon I find.
