Mafia 4 is (apparently) in development, the Warcraft mobile game is revealed and Overwatch 2 isn’t exactly setting the world on fire.

Are you telling me that we should be thankful for a broken mess of a game (at release) just because it has no micro transactions? Are you smoking the same shot as levelcap?
Outriders was 100% up my alley, but the devs decided to put leftist political garbage in their game. Turns out there is, in fact, a cost for such behavior.
Regarding NY suing Bobby Kotick:
1) of course the scandal at Blizzard devalued the company ahead of the Microsoft acquisition – why do you think the scandal was so widely publicized in the first place? With tens of billions of dollars at stake, do you honestly think powerful people weren’t pulling strings in the media to drum up as much negative press as possible and manipulate the stock price? This is entry level corporate subversion.
2) much like when California sued Blizzard, the involvement of state government isn’t the stamp of legitimacy that many people apparently believe it to be. Leftist prosecutors are basically activists masquerading as lawyers – the law doesn’t interest them nearly so much as forwarding whatever progressive agenda they hold sacrosanct. If anything, being sued by the state of California or New York is a red flag in favor of the defendant.
Looking forward to Sons of the Forest. The forest was an absolute party always fun to mess with my friends as they all tried to cook some dinner like rabbit hunch and a cut of venison, only for me to drop on by and plop a human leg on the fire and everyone panics as no one wants to accidentally eat it.
Then you got their reactions of finding my home in the mountains a nice log cabin completely and thoroughly surrounded on all sides by IEDs
I really like the Halo TV show
I know that ubisoft pissed in the cereal bowl lately but i hope they can manage to emerge independent…. the maximum merger shit storm seems good at first because some games can be finalized and shipped to the consumers but monopolies like Microsoft are not your friend and are probably already lobbying your government against your interests.
I’m going to jump back into Outriders in June when the expansion comes. It was fun for what it is, so I’ll see what changes and give it another fair shot
The most recent episode of halo (episode 8) just crushed my childhood… bruh you can’t do that to halo, they crossed a dam line. People who have seen it know
Prey: Mooncrash is already part of the Prey game being given by Epic
Ugh another shill up video
Everyone said WW2 again? They should have listened or at least hired at least someone able to pose objections to shit ideas.
skillups week I’m Video games is somehow way F-ing better than IGN even if he throw little crazy adverts in there 😉
It should actually be Overwatch 1.4 because the removed a teammate slot so now it’s 5v5 instead of 6v6
Netflix games are downloaded via the Google store. Not unlike to what Amazon did with it’s games, except Relic hunters feels less like a f2p game that had it’s transactions taken out, and more like a f2p game that pivoted to free via Netflix early in development. that is to say there are systems that feel like they were initially going to be f2p friction points that were redesigned. Relic hunters Rebels is actually one of if not the best mobile game I’ve played (not just because of the lack of micro transactions). It’s a twin stick shooter with leveling, upgrades, a lot of weapons to collect (that mostly function the same, but a few feel unique). Dialogue is fully voiced and unusually good, and the characters are largely enjoyable. So yeah I’ll take more of whatever Netflix decides to give me there.
Some "out of the box" performance optimizations in UE5 might be what they are after for this delay. That’s scary.
It’s so hard to keep up with this series! Thanks, patch 6.1, for changing MSQ Roulette! 😭
Didn’t Skill Up hate Outriders?
Small correction, if Epic is doing the same offer as last time, they’re also giving you for free Mooncrash too ! Sad I noticed after starting a playthrough in game pass and now I have to finish it there and then reinstall it on epics
Xbox showing people outside, by themselves, wearing a cloth mask.
Science TM.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Well, I think the evidence is in: you jinxed us when you said "you can play Starfield in November on your TV". It’s all your fault.
Vanguard seemed reluctantly WW2. Hiphop trailer, lack of swastickas, Holo sights, fantasy guns with neon skins, strange emphasis on women soliders. It was odd and off-putting.
Time to start cranking 90s while sitting on the jon at work
Wow your take on Halo is way off I’m enjoying it 🫡
Welp, time to pirate Salt & Sacrifice until it comes out on Steam
What I took from this is that we can now officially call you our "sugar daddy".
Looking forward to mobile games, cringe. Take dislike.
I personally like "keigh-3-ley" for the name of Geoff Keighley’s new presentation
I played Stranger things on my phone And had To log into My Netflix account To be Able To play it 😅
So now You have heard The One person in The world who has played a Netflix game 😂
Mafia 4 rumors?
Let’s hope so.
I really hope someday we get a new Suikoden game.
very sad
The Day Before: The Year After
Honestly, if Outriders had sold cosmetic overrides I wouldn’t have been that upset, provided the regular outfits werent any worse.
mafia 3 was fucking shit.
Feel good rat
Why don’t People Can Fly shift back to Bulletstorm and make a sequel to that like a number of fans have asked for?? Outriders was met with lukewarm reception from day 1….
Outriders was an always-online "live-service" that became completely bricked without an internet connection EVEN IN SINGLE PLAYER meaning it was literally only a matter of time til it became as unplayable as Lawbreakers or Battleborn.
We should rejoice that the game failed because games designed to rob the people who bought them of the ability to keep playing EVEN IN SINGLE PLAYER when the company INEVITABLY kills the servers do NOT deserve to succeed.
I couldn’t get in to mafia 3. Hope 4 is good
Activision: WW2 didn’t have enough explosions to fill a CoD game…
fuck you for that mafia segue skup hahahahaha
Does anyone know how you can replay Outriders. I fancied having another look and there doesn’t appear to be a ‘load new game’ function…
I lost interest in Outriders when it was confirmed you’d need other players to advance the story. I wanted a single player game, not another online rpg.
lol, I like how u said "how angry it would make me" when talking about clash royale.
10:48 activates Siri for me lol
The halo series is yet another example of go woke go broke

Mooncrash is included in that giveaway, no need to buy it 🙂
Screenrant? Them or IGN. It’s a toss-up as to which is less credible.
Considering the advice you gave regarding The Day Before, are you saying that I shouldn’t order the Bloodmoon Edition of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2?
Why is no one researching and covering the debacle this game is? Paradox, a very large company, has been completely radio silent on the title. There’s been no real news since… sometime last year. Any news that’s come since then, well, hasn’t been news. It’s been buzzword bingo shenanigans (and that’s being *very* polite).
I said it from the beginning activision purposely tanked their franchised and crested controversy in order to speed up the Microsoft sale snd get a better deal for Microsoft. That really needs to be investigated.
I think the Mooncrash dlc is included with Prey on the epic store
