All Things Video Games & Game Reviews Part II

[Gonzo]

Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.

Anyway, just a quick rundown.

Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.

Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.

Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.

Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing.

Soul Reaver remaster has me cautiously excited. I loved the SR/LoK series back in the day.

Is there a way for you to use any physical game disks you may have if you switch to the Pro? I bought an Xbox Series X mostly because it will likely be the last Xbox with a disk reader, and I have a shitload of games on disk.

The Pro has an optional detachable drive. It's the same as with the Slim.

I bought the 3 on steam and I'm only like 30 minutes into the first one. Forgot I had them.

I need to take a 3 or 4 day weekend sometime and play the shid oudda' that with the wife. See if we like it as much as the world did.

The first one is fun. The 2nd and 3rd just feel like masterpieces.

I actually thought about buying a bunch of ubisoft stock just in case it gets its shit together. But, it keeps dropping.

Anybody get the new Zelda game? I played it for about an hour and I'm looking forward to the rest. The graphics in the game look incredible.

Video games are my biggest hobby by far, I frequently read news about them, and I never hear about "controversies" like this until I see them posted here. YouTubers like this are SO desperate to find "politics" in things just so they can make shitty rage-bait fluff and grift ad revenue from other chronically online idiots. It's ****ing pathetic.

I mean, UBIsoft is going to go out of business, so I dont think its localized to chiefsplanet or drama youtube.

Things look dire for them for sure, but I think you can point to a lot of other mistakes in their business which are hurting them (over-investing in dead-end projects like Skull and Bones, hyper-formulaic gameplay loops that consumers are tired of, overall quality decreases, etc.) that have absolutely nothing to do with politics or “DEI”.

nah, people are just getting a little tired of the wokeness when it's forced and if you look further into this you'll see why they are talking about this.

These companies hire college grads that actually believe that is what people want and I find that hilarious

you aren't wrong that there are youtubers that look for anything to make a video about, but this one had it's reasons

I saw that, you'd have to be the biggest dumb**** on earth to buy anything from them or try to fund any projects of theirs.

But I do find something interesting about this. People obviously want the type of game that they advertised with the day before or whatever it was called. They want to play a game like that, other companies had to have noticed that because it was one of the biggest wishlisted items I believe for steam. But nobody is willing to make games like that even though there is a strong market for it.
