And it has wonderful music too. Some of the songs are always on my playlist! Papyrus' theme music never fails to put me in a fantastic mood, even though he so completely broke my heart.

Got today Injustice 2 and already finished the story lol cuz its short and I couldn't put it down, which is normal for a fighting game, is as long if maybe longer, like a long movie. Still, it honestly felt really great, why? Because finally played a game where I can play non stop through the story without having to deal with an open world. I like exploring open worlds don't get me wrong, but it loses its charm when almost every game has it now. There is also variations to play of the story and quite a lot of other extra content to do than the previous game. The story was fun to play but it ended quite flat compared to the first game. I may be biased hypedthough cuz I loved way too much this Green Arrow in the game, voiced by Alan Tudyk no less.

I wished I could say I'm playing something, but Andromeda pretty much ruined my mood for videogames atm. I only go back to its MP to send my APEX team go do stuff and them close the game Still going back and forth as to how I'm going to play Technomancer. im actually enjoying doing those Apex missions myself in the MP its pretty good, when it doesnt lag though Technomancer is so hard for me and no f/f choices so i just had one playthrough with Andrew and frgot ab it though i hope the developers for this game will make more games with same sex options and mb a bit simplified gameplay for a noob like me hehe I dropped Swtor all this replaying the same stuff over and over with every alt become impossible for me...i just wish they added more class stories, only then mb i'll come back I played only one Tomb Raider, which i got for free...dont remember the name, but its the one with the heavy Lara/Sam? shipped those two so hard

I just finished PREY and I loved it so so much. Because NPC genders don't change based on YOUR gender, if you play female Morgan you're a big lesbian, and if you play male Morgan your assistant is gay and has a crush on you. (Don't get too excited about that last one, it's more text flavor in the game world than anything else and it doesn't factor into anything–this isn't an "RPG" per se and there's no romance or anything.) An NPC lesbian couple features prominently. I wasn't expecting the game to be so gay or so good, but now I intend to take it as my unholy bride.

It's like Dishonored, System Shock, and Bioshock had a beautiful gay sci-fi horror love baby. I think the demo (first hour of the game) is still available if you want to try it out! I never played the original Prey so this wasn't even on my radar but after that demo I pledged my fealty.

I just wish I liked the rest of the game more. The small details of the game were great, the emails, transcripts and other world building elements but I found a lot of parts of the game very frustrating. Despite what the game tells you, there really are some neuromods that are mandatory to have fun, so you can't really "play your way" The loading times are shockingly long which becomes very frustrating towards the end when the game is trying to build up tension and your running through the station. The tone of the game at the end switches from one of tense horror to more face paced action which was frustrating due to my build. And then smaller things like the jumping and the fact that the GLOO gun seems to become worse after you upgrade it.

I loved the whole game, but I definitely had the most fun at the beginning when I was just wandering and figuring out mysteries and the station seemed empty. The action picking up toward the end wouldn't be so bad without all the back and forth...which ALSO wouldn't be as bad without those friggin' load times. It's still a fave overall for me...but I think that's because I dug it SO much I could mostly overlook the flaws while playing. Think I'm gonna pick up Dishonored 2 (FINALLY) this weekend. I really liked the first one, and being able to play as Emily makes it A+ already, so.

I'm so hyped for Destiny 2 after that awesome reveal today. So many trailers, tons of gameplay, easier matchmaking, clans being relevant, new Supers, compelling, emotional storytelling, tons more cinematics, etc.

Yeah, playing as Emily was the only thing that got me as far as I did. I can't imagine how bored I would be playing as Corvo again. That said, I found her powers harder to work with. Keep in mind, I dislike "pure-stealth" games, so I am biased, lol.

So many trailers, tons of gameplay, easier matchmaking, clans being relevant, new Supers, compelling, emotional storytelling, tons more cinematics, etc. Personally I felt the opposite lol. It looks great, but it looked more of the same. I was disappointed it will only have one raid at launch, and nothing of gameplay screamed new for me. Hopefully the campaign is promising and filled with lots of story like they seem to show but I'll stay cautious on it.

Same! The stealth didn't feel tedious or near-impossible–that's usually only the case in Fallout/Elder Scrolls games for me. Usually I *try* to be sneaky, fail miserably, and end up being forced to murder everyone (mostly out of embarrassment). Though I admit, if you could only play as Corvo in D2, I'd probably put the game off until it showed up for free on Xbox or PS. I'm so hyped for Destiny 2 after that awesome reveal today.

Can't wait to play it in a few years! Haha aw dang

I think it will ultimately depend on E3, wether there's other games that come out during that time that interest me or if there's nothing else to get then I can pick it up.

Hopefully the campaign is promising and filled with lots of story like they seem to show but I'll stay cautious on it. I can see your point, but it is clear from the story that it is a direct sequel. Barely no time has passed between Rise of Iron and Destiny 2. If they did a time jump and switched things up, sure, then you can change gameplay. I don't think things should change. Destiny action is one of the easiest to master, and that is what makes it replayable when doing Patrols and such. I never ran a Raid. Not enough friends. I was more of a solo player. That stream had stuff for every type of player. They're changing how clans work, added more things to do when exploring, no more orbit load screens, and more! Look back at the original Destiny, how many subclasses and Raids did they have? Just Vault of Glass, right? Two sub classes each? This isn't very different, plus it'll have DLC like most games do. At least Bungie delivers DLC.

But yeah that's what disappoints me a bit in terms of the content overall, that its quite similar to the original Destiny release, personally I didn't really get into the game much until the taken king stuff dropped in. So I was expecting maybe more content overall than the vanilla release of the first game, which could still be if the story is much bigger now. Was expecting at least two raids at launch considering how well received they were. I think it may have just been the constant countdown hype too that affected me, so much teasing, I was expecting something else I guess lol. As long as they really do keep on the promise on much more present story content, then I will be fine with it. The thing with the DLC last time though is that its handle very weirdly as they are quite high price. Like if I bought the game at launch for 60 but then an expansion drops at 30, but then the game gets re released with the expansion attached to it at 60. I felt guilty when I bought the taken king copy at 30 bucks, cuz I had all the things that some people probably paid over 100 dollars lol. I know games do lower on price eventually but I feel they should let in some way the launch player get the expansions/dlc for a lower price.

I feel bad as well when I got Taken King a lot cheaper overall than most fans did, but...in the end, there's nothing you can do about it. You shouldn't give it a shot because the company poorly executed the plan in the past. Bungie has listened quite a bit, and anyone can see that Taken King, Rise of Iron, and Destiny 2 are all things fans asked for and received on a much broader scope. That's a better company than the EA bullshit we are getting with a Battlefront 2 campaign that is very much in bad taste and in the perspective of the Empire. EA honestly is turning into a horrible company that cares more about dude bros and Stormtroopers than the entire purpose of their franchises: hope.
