It doesn’t really feel anything like TF2. I understand why people keep making that comparison, but I don’t like TF2 either and got totally hooked on Overwatch.

I once got a weird glitch where the walls and floors of buildings didn’t load in for me, so I was guiding my team-mates to loot and enemies using my miraculous X-ray vision.

Good to see that Mass Effect Andromeda eye tech being put to further use.

This sounds incredibly promising, but I wish it was being made someone other than a Ubisoft development team. I can easily imagine the Ubisoft open world formula cluttering these good ideas with boring side content and clunky gameplay mechanics.

I’m guessing it’s along the lines of the Knife of Dunwall DLC.

Agreed. I’m super hyped about this.

That big LoL image is stunning. Someone make an RPG in that sort of environment.

This is good advice. I used to beat myself up endlessly about this sort of thing until I trained myself out of it.

That outfit looks like it would be incredibly uncomfortable to wear.

I’d say it depends on if you have someone to play it with. I spent a few months playing it with my brother last year and had a lot of fun, but was instantly turned off when I tried playing alone.

Good old Ubisoft and their fake screenshots.

On a scale of 1 to Completely Insufferable, how KER-AAAAAZY do you think the bad guy will be?

I can’t help but contrast the approach DICE are taking with this game to CoD:WWII, which seems (from the admittedly brief trailer and what we’ve been told) to be regurgitating the most bog-standard, over-exposed tropes of world war II. There’s heaps of fertile ground for untold stories across both conflicts, so it’s…

Hey, now I’m glad I held off on buying the PC version for all these years.

Did the first Red Dead have a lot of electric lights? This might just be my ignorance around the time period, but the presence of electric street lighting makes me think of a more modern time period, even though it’s being predicted as a prequel.

Japanese animators are really good at capturing a unique sort of rose-tinted European whimsy that you don’t really see anywhere else.

I was wondering if they’d let you play as female soldiers in multiplayer. It’s the sort of feature that you can’t really take away once you make it available.

Absolutely nothing about this seems the least bit fresh or interesting. We’ve all seen gruff soldiers dudes yelling at each other, we’ve seen fresh-faced young men tearfully crouching over their fallen comrades, we’ve seen dudes shouting “Go, go, go!” while things explode around them.

I will never get over the strangeness and sheer cold-heartedness of American society. Y’all live in an authoritarian world.

I view the Inklings as being materialistic and simple-minded (they are both squids and kids, after all), which leads to them getting easily manipulated by people with nefarious goals.
