lol, I just checked the package tracking website again and now it suddenly says "We expect the package data shortly. Please be aware that we can't give information about the mailing until the dispatcher transmitted the data to us". The heck is going on with my ****.

I don't hate D3. It just didn't capture me at all. I've played through it and then saw no point in it anymore. The way the loot worked, etc. made it so there was no reason to keep playing. Heard they changed / fixed this years later, but now it's too late for me.

If it goes on like this, my hype will be gone once the package arrives. Madness.

To be honest, I don't even want a Diablo 4. :D The experience with Diablo 3 left me so cold, I still feel completely out-diablo'd.

My package was supposed to arrive today between 8 and 11 o clock... Of course didn't worked out. It's the second time they gave me a date and then failed to deliver on it. Getting a bit annoyed at this point.

And fetch-quests have always been crappy, no matter since when they existed. It's the laziest quests possible, and if a game offers me more than one or two of 'em, I will feel highly offended and insulted. They just aren't fun, and if developers are using them as a filler for their games world, it is even worse. Yes, I'm looking at you, Fallout 4.

Most open world games are pretty crappy. By now, always when I read open world, I'm all like, ugh, not again... IMO there's rarely any open world game that does the open world part good. Just giving me a crapton of repetitive collectible "quests" is not good gameplay. Random fetch-quests is not good gameplay, watching pretty landscapes is not good gameplay, and fighting random mobs every 10 meters is not good gameplay either.

/Edit: Great, forum posted my crap in the wrong thread again. Good job, forum.

I just watched Mandy and it was awesome. Starts rather slow, but the colors and everything is just perfect. Best Nic Cage movie in years.

Ugh, my PS4 still ain't here. Amazon first said friday, but the postal service said tuesday. Based on tracking, the package really did land at the hub nearby on the night of monday to tuesday, but for some reason they didn't delivered it yet. 4 days later and the status hasn't changed. Amazon now says delivery between 2. and 7.11. ... Sucks, especially because the hub is barely 1.5km away from me. Now I'm not sure if something happened to the package, or if they are already overloaded due to christmas next month. If it's the later, then it will be impossible to order anything big next month and expecting it to arrive in time.

Well, simulation games are a thing, I don't see a problem here. It's just that not every game needs to go this way.

Wow, I thought this stopped, but apparently it still goes on. I have to head back to the codex and see what I've missed in the past weeks / months! Bit funny how MCA tried to stir up stuff for a while but then absolutely nothing came out of any of this, because - I guess - in the end, everyone feels like this is just drunk rambling.

An RPG doesn't need to have a deep simulation of everything. Most user actions are highly abstract, especially in older RPGs, and they never suffered from it either.

Well, quite obviously it isn't setting a new bar when it comes to the control scheme, because lots of people seem to hate the button-madness in RDR2.

Sure, once they fix his eyebrows, give him a bunch of scars and make him wear contacts, he may remind somebody of Geralt. Nah, can't do it. Still too handsome. Well, all this stuff like beard and scars and co. can happen while the show runs? It's not like Geralt was born and looked like in Witcher 3.

Great list of placeholders. :>

This new Witcher TV show costume teaser looks really good, imo. Not that you can see much, but so far I have nothing to complain about. It's one of the shows I'm really waiting for now. /edit:

Ok, haven't seen that yet. Last time I checked, there was nothing to be found about it, except the original announcement and a couple screenshots. I'm also blaming you people for not posting it in here. :>

Does anyone really care? Rockstar should force their workers not to do crunch. They have the money, unlike other companies, they can easily do this.

I'm a bit annoyed how there is no news about the upcoming(?) DLC except for some screenshots from months ago. Based on what they released so far it didn't seems to be that big in scope, so what's taking so long? Don't want to start up the game again before the new content hits release.

Damnit, Amazon said my PS4 will arrive on friday, but DHL said it will be here today today, which gave me some hopes. Ofc it didn't came today and it won't tomorrow because of holiday. So maybe Amazon was right after all.

Yeah, but this is Fo4 without NPCs, meaningful quests (though Fo4 doesn't even have that many of them hurr durr), and with even more combat mobs around every corner. If you like that, cool, but for me personally that sounds extremely boring and grindy.

Risen 1 is more a mix of Gothic 1 and 2. I actually liked it a lot. Looks beautiful and gives you exactly that Gothic experience. I even replayed that one a couple times... not as much as the original Gothic, though. Risen 2 is not bad either, but I didn't enjoy it as much. The tiny islands, the story, etc... it just didn't worked that well, even though the pirate theme was cool. Also loved the tiny monkey you could have. Best gameplay. Haven't played Risen 3 yet. Don't know why. Somehow it just didn't want to work on me. Maybe I will play it some day in the future. /Edit: Oh yeah, Risen 3 went into that fantasy direction again, which I can't stand anymore. That's why I never bothered with it.

It seems like you may have missed out on pc gaming for the last few years - We got Gun and Call Of Juarez series, more than good westerns. No I have not, but at this point, these games are old, and they are all kinda same-y. None of these games were able to capture me for longe than barely one playthrough. That's ok. I bought the PS3 about one year before the PS4 came out and I don't feel like I've missed anything important. Doubt this will change with future console iterations.

Nowadays, it's what I do with any game that supports it. I'm running a long and thick HDMI cable from my PC to my TV, just so I can watch movies and play games with gamepad on the couch. It's awesome.
