  1. From the same people who have the wild imagination that Kellyanne Conway made up the "Alternative Facts" and stole their spotlight, I suppose. I don't blame you.
  2. Yeah, none of the AC games have particularly great or interesting story-writing, sadly :/
  3. Samara Weaving is a goddess, what a,grand performance. Netflix really does produce some gems... sometimes lol This is one of them (if you dig sattire horror).
  4. Hmmm... http://www.alternativenewsnetwork.net/illuminati-hypersexualization-children-exposed-disney-pedophilia-mind-control/ So it would seem.

  6. From my experience, AC Origins seems to be the first AC game that has fun combat. I've played nearly all of them. Sleeping Dogs, yes, highly underrated/overlooked open world game. Love the brawling system in it, nice change up from the "Let's shoot out our way out" and if I remeber correctly, it has a Hollywood cast which includes Emma Stone and Lucy Lu.
  7. Inhumans lives after all, how bout that
  8. The Arkham games are widely popular for none other than the reason that they are great 3D Batman games. Before Arkham Asylum, there were literally dozens of horrible 3D Batman games, much to the point where DC fans gave up all hope. Then came along Rocksteady, who gave us games which infuse great storytelling, exceptional voice-overs, top graphics, an addictive fighting systems and detailed exploration - even some role playing features (leveling up, upgrading, etc). All that adds up to make a popular franchise that actually deserves it's popularity. On the other hand I think Telltales' Batman series is awfully horrible, unless you don't mind completely new & weird takes on iconic characters. I can't stand it honestly, to me they butchered everything I love about Batman... too much liberty with the creative process - usually I am not against it but as a Batman fan, it hurts me lol
  9. I like when consoles offer good exclusives, those exclusives are what seem to push the industry to create more quality games. Without Sony/Microsoft's in-house studios or published projects, the rest of developers and publishers would probably get lazy and not push themselves in storytelling and art in general. And if there are no exclusives than there would probably be no point for consoles anymore either, I don't want pc to be the only platform because that would be horrible for gaming in alm things. We need competition, it's good for the industry and has always been it's saving grace. Nah, most people buy consoles because they want to game from their couch, whether there's exclusives or not isn't going to change any of that until there's actually functional ways to game on your PC from your couch, and we're not there by a long shot last I checked. Exclusives just mean competition between the consoles, the vast majority of people that weren't planning on buying a console won't suddenly buy a console because of one exclusive... There's really barely competition between the PC and consoles, which is why MS has been doing the cross platform thing lately, there's no way in hell they'd allow their formerly console exclusive titles on PC if they thought it'd cost them money. However in doing so they might just steal customers from Sony, because what are you going to do? Get FM7 on the PC you already have or buy a Playstation to play Gran Tourismo? Moreover MS and Sony are, as far as I'm aware just as lazy/toxic as the rest of the big publishers (FM7 anyone?). If we want real progress then it's the indie studios that we need to look at, or just "crazy people" (in this age of greed) that only want to make good games rather than earn lots of money, like this Swen dude you might've heard of That might have been true if pc's couldnt hook up to televisions via hdmi and laptops didn't exist, but you'd be surprised how many people have their pc's in their living rooms these days. One of my pc's is an Alienware Alpha, it's just as easy to set up as a console, in fact it's easier to set up than a PS4/Xbox One given that it's smaller and can fit in tighter spaces with ease. Although I do love my indie games, I don't think they revolutionize anything new in gaming today. I also don't think Sony is any lazier than any of the hardest working devs out there. Sony has some pretty awesome exclusives that are just as original as any indie but the thing is that by the time the exclusive releases everyone knows the ins and outs of the game because of so much money put into marketing. Microsoft, on the other hand doesn't know what they're doing as of late with the Xbox exclusives. I think I would consider them lazy as everything that's on Xbox One is already available on pc. Yet one of the only true exclusives they have (Sunset Overdrive) is still one of the most uniqe and original games I've played. I understand why PC gamers tend to discredit comsole exclusives any way they can, simply for the fact that pc doesn't get those games usually (Steam just got Nioh and it's awesome!) but that doesn't make them somehow less great. That's why they're called 'Killer Apps' after all and "System sellers". We'd be lying to ourselves if we said Mario Odyssey wasn't selling Switches and that Nintendo didn't just redefine platforming... again
  10. Huh? Are you saying PS4 slim doesn't work with surround sound setups? Exactly. They removed the optic sound out (spdif) in order to "save space". It was a very poor choice on Sony's behalf.
  11. Tbh, I like Disney's stuff more than all the excess crap that's being forced onto Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Instant Video so chances are I would gladly pay for a Disney streaming service. Heck I rarely use any of those but Disney content is usually pretty nice so... I guess I'm in.
  12. PoE. If you do then congrats on your switch to Steam, enjoy the extra perks and greater social experince! Which makes the Steam version superior. It's worth it
  13. True. I just don't consider them the same marketplace since Destiny 2 is more of an rpg and CoD and Battlefront are more multiplayer focused than anything. I am debating on whether to start my first playthrough of TitanQ Quest but don't know if I have the time considering Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 releases in 2 days.
  14. It's strange to me that people are toting it as the year's top shooter when there wasn't much competition to begin with. Call Of Duty... and? Maybe Destiny 2 and Battlefront 2 of those can be called shooters. Hmmm.
  15. I don't want to upgrade to a PS4 Pro because it looks ugly. I don't wantbto upgrade to the PS4 Slim because I don't like the roundness . I am just sticking with the sleekest design (the original). Call me shallow? Also, yes I use the optic audio because I absolutely hate audio through tv/monitor speakers. PS4 Slim doesn't have optic out so if you have surround sound system, good luck.

  17. Good question. I don't know too much about the game, it might be an rpg, it might be a building game or it might be just purely combat. Perhaps they call it open world because you can play it offline/sp mode. That is the best guess I can come up with for ya. Seems to be represent itself as an interesting hybrid from what the trailer shows anyway.
  18. I'm going to guess that the poor framerate is due because it's early alpha footage, the game will probably release on early access in beta build.
  19. It really does! I didn't care too much for PUBG but their new game looks fantastic Kudos to them!
  20. New steam-punk game by the people who made Player Unknown Battlegrounds... https://youtu.be/awvTUppStak
  21. I'm gonna wait til Microsoft gives e a real reason to buy one..(exclusives where are you?) for now I'll stick to my native 4k desktop and my regular 900p XB1
  22. I have seen Touching The Void as well when it was on Netflix, I really like both movies! Everest was really good last year:
