Some Cyberpunk 2077 impressions from playable demo by Ars Technica. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/06/cyberpunk-2077-world-premiere-50-minutes-of-william-gibson-level-insanity/

New Chapter was just released on GOG in these days.

Unfortunatelly VR feels to me like a fad in this age as well. Most of the games I've played feel just like technical demos of the hardware with almost no substance. Which is IMO shame. At least there are some Virtual Novels released in Japan already, to justify the price for some people :D

I played the first one and I liked it. They changed a lot talents and stuff in 3 and Final Cut, sooo not very eager to play it despite having them all.

And I prefer current projects like Apocalyptica or Vanessa Mae, and while I enjoy it more than Bach or Rachmaninov, I am not against to listen to them once in a while. And turn off radio anytime Taylor Swift is on, when you want to talk more about analogies.

Nope, Taylor Swift is not artistry, it is commercial poop for masses. I have around me tons of artist, who make or play actual music, and all of them are laughing their asses off, whenever someone talk how good that kind off poop is. They learned me to appreciate the real gems in music industry. Because of that, I do not need to be a musician to understand what is quality music and what is not. As I told before, I take Bach played by local kid, who makes small mistakes now and then, while preforming his music, than anything made by big three music publishers. And be so kind, do not lecture me what is good and what is not, I do not want my tastes be more Swiftified, I have enough of that **** on my local radio...

Sorry no, why I should celebrate some Taylor Swift crap is made on daily basis, when I throw up every time I hear that **** on radio? I am man of taste, I rather listen to the Bach which was made hundreds years ago, even if it is not completely my cup of tea, because it is still much better work of art. Same with video games. These "singers" and games are as relevant as a bullet in a gun, some people will have fun with it, when shooting it into the bottle on the log and damage they caused, but they forget about it as soon as they shoot new one.

Just could not resist and had to purchase the X-COM Complete Edition from GOG sale, which arrived just few days ago for the first time on the platform. And got Sunless Sea for free with it. Never played both of them before.

It was actually made by a Norwegian studio to look like a jrpg. Yeah, I know that, same with Battlechasers Still IMO they both captured the jRPG spirit very good. I liked them both more than two latest Final Fantasies.

Earthlock, though it is AA indie jRPG. But dunno if that is to much for your elitist attitude to swallow or not

New Tales of... game in the works. Nothing specific announced yet, but small teaser revealed at the end of Tales of Festival 2018. http://www.abyssalchronicles.com/news/new-tales-series-mothership-title-works

I really wish GOG would work with Humble. It would be for me the perfect combination.

All new Wolfensteins are awesome, unfortunatelly I do not know about the system reqs, because I am still waiting 2 or 3 more years until Beth releases them on GoG. After that, I'll play the hell out of them all :D

I think he meant The Escape from Monkey Island.

Don’t give him ideas please, the essay would turn sooner or later into young adults story about how great is Ubisoft

If PS4 games are not the most appealing to you, I think you should rather go for Switch. Almost everything what is on Xbone, is also on PS4, with exception of Forza and Gears of War games, to name a few. Switch at least have games, which can't be played anywhere else. The only downside is, that you can't back up your saves, without online subscription.

Yakuza 0 and Kiwami announced for PC: http://www.siliconera.com/2018/06/11/yakuza-series-finally-headed-pc-starting-yakuza-0-yakuza-kiwami/ Now even the Master Plebs can enjoy the best Open World series ever created

To be less negative, I present you the runner-up for the best E3 tailer, which for some reason, you’ve all completely overlooked. The winner is of course Vesperia Remaster :D

Here it is: https://i.redditmedia.com/kJUtRF8Fgou4a3mlDPS_FjaH_MEJYGuPjucggPaFmUg.png?w=572&s=4e34f3adbe4c4b537a3e0cd820fadcc0

FFXV was not very bad game, but it was very very bad Final Fantasy, most of the Live Service stuff is not free, they went with their DLCs full Paradox. What I hate most, is that they put into SP game seasonal “festivals” and stupid leaderboard hunt quests, which are shoved into your face, and for me completely break the immersion. This picture says it all: BRB, the link has been broken because my ipad sucks at copying long links... Oh and compared to all other FFs, the main story line was the shortes one, and full of unfinished and confusing plot holes.

You forgot to mention editions, we are confused!

The FFVII Remake we all wanted will unfortunatelly never happen. Instead we got another action packed Live Service milking machine, like FFXV, but this time with three “seasons” to squeeze even more money from the fans... SE killed the FF franchise as we all knew it for decades. At least they are still making RPGs like Lost Sphere, Octopath Traveler and Dragon Quest.

The issue as I see it now, is that it mostly starts with small MP addons, and later slowly completely takes over the Single Player portion of the future games, because someone in the upper management starts to feel, that MP might bring more money to the house and sooner or later, we have another Live Service bull**** and one less company, which games I enjoy to play. I know it is the blackest possible outcome of it, but I’ve seen so much chasing the hypest trend bull****, and not only in gaming, in last few years, that I feel pretty skeptical now. At least I still have 3 more Yakuzas comming in next few months, to satisfy my grumpy tastes

Resisting the urge to spent money on GOG sale. Sooner or later I probably cave in to get the Sunless Sea as a bonus for free.
