    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yup, i'm done too. This game is all load screens, tutorial popups and long annoying conversations. The combat just isn't satisfying and it all amounts to the same thing. There might be a cool story in here somewhere, was starting to get goodish I guess but it just isn't worth it to find out.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Agree with all this (except 4), game is an absolute slog to play. The design decisions are just awful top to bottom. I wanted to get to the endgame to form a final opinion but honestly doubt i'll ever get there. As far as number 4 goes, I have everything maxed on my 1080ti and haven't even come...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I really dislike not seeing loot drops till the end of a mission. Might sound dumb, but seeing that shiny engram drop in Destiny was so satisfying.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Just recently finished Tyranny which did that and was literally thinking how more games should do that while I was playing this.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I just started, but the problem with the story so far is they throw a million different made up names and words at you so they might as well be speaking Chinese. I took a few minutes to read through the in-game codex so I can at least try to follow the story. On the plus side, UI seems more pc...

    Nice, might just pick it up for DS then. Sold my Wii U like 4 years ago but always wanted to play MM.

    Did the first Mario Maker ever get ported to the switch or do you need a Wii U to play?

    True Detective

    Okay so it seems more and more obvious that Hays and Roland killed the security dude (Harris) in 90 after solving the case. Would explain the guy in the suit and tie haunting him. The whole bedroom scene in 80 where Hays talks about blocking out the past really beat it over our heads. Probably...

    2018-19 NHL Season Thread - Caps were not suck last year edition

    I'm honestly astonished that there are worse teams in the NHL than the Rangers still. A team that regularly ices 11 forwards NOT based on injuries but because we literally don't have enough NHL caliber forwards. Same can be said for most of our Dman and bottom 6 but pretty sure we can't...

    2018-19 NHL Season Thread - Caps were not suck last year edition

    I'm sure you weren't being serious about resigning, but that's the only way he doesn't get paid for the term of his contract so it's not gonna happen. It becomes a dance of the GM not wanting to look stupid by firing him, thus admitting he fucked up on the contract or digging his grave deeper by...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Haven't been following this game at all, but I sank enough hours into the first one to have gotten my moneys worth. Is there anything new with the PVP in this one or is it the same Dark Zone stuff?

    Ahh, I see. I was interpreting that way out of context, article summed it up though. I sure hope other teams follow suit, but leafs are in a pretty rare position so I won't hold my breath. Good on AM though, should be interesting to see what Marner gets.

    Elizabeth Banks and Roy from the office, that just screams talent on a budget. Looks cool though, i'll check it out maybe probably.

    Got my first "Wraith main" comment yesterday asking me not to pick her. Just a taste of what to look forward to in a few weeks.... Watching Moon play Pathfinder is really fun, he is great at zipping around and flanking. If I had the aim to back it up I would play that hero more. Origin ID is...

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    it's really up to Respawn. If they have frequent free updates with new hero's, skins, weapons and events this game has the hype to stand with Fortnite. If EA were smart they would right them a blank check and stay far out of their way. Either way this is probably bumping Blackout out of the top...

    Also worth noting is Shroud has been testing this game for months. He is literally just pub stomping.

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    Really need friends for this game. Managed to get a little better but progress is slow going when 3 out of every 5 matches someone insta-quits. IDK if it's because I take "their" hero or what, but that's gonna need fixing stat.

    True Detective

    They kind of already played the "partner screws partners chick" card in season one. Would feel kind of lazy to rehash that, especially since we are 5 episodes in and she hasn't really played a role in the story like Marty's wife did. There was a buildup in season one that made sense.

    Game feels and runs great, but yeah forced squads is meh. Also EA gonna go ham on boxes, this game will print money for them if they can release new legends often and do events like fortnite.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yeah, if there is one good thing to come out of Anthem it will be finding Origin Access vault. Few games on there I have been wanting to try so I already got my moneys worth.

    Gameplay has some fun moments. I am sucker for loot grinds so I found myself wanting to log in and kill some shit for a few, but logging in and walking slow as fuck through the city only to zone in and get some kind of game breaking bug (gotten a bug that removes my UI 3 times and another that...

    Dialogue is so much better this season. Hayes' 80's date scene was smooth as fuck, but the whole of episode 4 was full of great one liners by every character. The acting overall has been pretty stellar as well. Pretty slow episode though. Episode 5 out early (now) in case anyone missed that...

    I farmed affiliate one week playing ES:Legends when they had Drops. Had around 80-100 viewers but most were just afk getting free packs =( They did away with Drops shortly after unfortunately and viewership went way down. Was enjoying it though, got to BS with a few good dudes who followed me...

    I put in over 100 hours on console when it came out but never bought the DLC. Since then I treated myself to a nice gaming PC so I am keeping the full replay with DLC in my back pocket just to have something to look forward to one day. Can't wait to finally seks Triss and tell that lilac and...

    Would love to weigh in, but after 4 failed attempts on loading into any mode I gave up. I'll be damned if that's how i'm gonna spend my weekend with the backlog of proven great games I have in my library. I will agree on PC UI clearly being an afterthought. Was a chore to navigate the menus...
