I am very much looking forward to The Division II. I hope they take what they learned in the first one and apply it at launch to this one. If they do things right, it could be a real winner. I'm also looking forward to Far Cry New Dawn. I don't care if it's a reskin or a ripoff of Far Cry 5...

Nice! I've been eying them for a while now. I think I'm going to wait though. I really want to see what happens with this new flight model. More specifically, if they are going to continue down this IM road. I won't be investing heavily into dual sticks (past my current two tm's) until I...

Sometimes I wonder if they actually do read these forums. I definitely feel some of our conversations here are worth reading. We really do have some good discussions. This is a huge consideration. Unfortunately, most games completely fail at this. They either cater completely to PVP'rs and...

Same here. I only download updates by choice. There is an old IT saying, "don't download updates on release". When it comes to any updates, the potential for breaking EVERYTHING is high. I always give it a day or two for the repair patch to make it's way down the pipe. Updates are like a...

That is precisely why I am so very glad my teenage years landed in the 90's. I can't imagine how different my life would have been if every person I knew walked around at all times with a video camera that could upload and share footage in minutes... All that stupidity carefully recorded and...

It looks like quite a few of us were in the same boat. I hit the pause button when they started messing with the mechanics a while back. I'm looking forward to jumping back in. That said, I'm still not in a huge hurry. My main concern is that the game still has that "new car smell" when it...

I'm kind of in the same boat. I've bought it, but I'm hesitant to play due to the 2hr limit on the refund policy. If it really is a money grab, I don't want any part of it. I certainly don't want to support the developer if they let the current issues stand without addressing them. So far...

Nah, it's just a function of how reviews work. Only a very small percentage of people who bought the game actually reviewed the game (much less than 1% according to the stats). If that small of a percentage is actually motivated to leave a review, they would have to be VERY motivated when...

I can't argue with that. It definitely could have been handled better. I know it is "early access" and technically not a release, but the hard truth is that people make plans based off statements like this. There is nothing more frustrating than arranging your schedule, taking days off, or...

I think part of the issue is the culture that has developed around gaming. Once upon a time, gamers were a very forgiving bunch. We openly praised games despite their flaws. Over time though, some developers started taking advantage of that forgiveness. They twisted our faith and forgiveness...

Ouch. At first glance that looks very impressive. If you look at it a bit closer though, there's only about a dozen different islands. They're just copy/pasted in different locations and orientations. From what I can see, there's only one truly unique island. It's a little to the left of...

Looks like it's been bumped back till tomorrow the 21st. They posted on Discord of all places. I never understood why game developers can never seem to communicate responsively. How hard is it to cut/paste a comment to twitter/facebook/forums/discord? That way people get the message no...

MMO's are my favorite genre by far. It is also a genre that has been absolutely vacant quality entries for several years now. As a result, I have been regularly checking for anything new or on the horizon. So you can imagine my suprise when I stumbled on Atlas. It was supposed to release in...

It has long been by opinion that the key to the griefer/griefed mechanic is risk. Law systems have tried and failed. "Handshake" systems have tried and failed. Even games designed to completely avoid griefing or making griefing bannable have tried and failed to eliminate the issue. The...

Lol, maaaybe... The other day, I had a coworker complain that their office was cold and had been for several days. They couldn't believe the company was so cheap that they were cutting costs by not heating the place all the way. So I walked over to the wall in their office, two feet from...

I agree with the concerns in the video. The culture we have developed here in the states is nothing short of frightening. It is so incredibly ignorant and just keeps getting worse. You can't really single out any specific cause either. There are so many bad decisions and social fallacies...

Normally, I am careful not to judge based on beta testing. Too many things can happen before release. In this case though the release is 2 weeks away. That means the beta isn't about looking for problems. It's about identifying how bad things get when more than 2 people play simultaneously...

I think this is key right here. I completely agree that there is no right or wrong answer to the P2W argument. I think that it is very much game specific. You hit on a very good point. Generally speaking there is far less salt in PVE games than PVP when it comes to buying advantage. That...

I can't even be mad. We (read: gamers as a whole) brought ourselves here. There's no changing it. There's no going back. Caution: rant following... I hear and read a truckload of "feedback" regarding the state of the gaming industry and it's monetization schemes. From lootboxes, to DLC...

When I was a kid, PC games hadn't quite figured out the control schemes for their games. While console players had a D-Pad and a couple buttons (u, u, d, d, l, r, l, r, b, a, start), PC programmers back then tended to get lost in the comparatively endless ocean of key options. So in an attempt...
