ShadySands 6,803 Posted August 3 (edited) LOTRO to add new race, Stout Axe Dorfs, and race changes. Considering I hate dorfs ...yeah. Supposedly these edgy scruff hobbits are taller and leaner than the rest of dorfkind so maybe I might give them a shot once I can play with the character creator. On second thought, nah Edited August 3 by ShadySands Quote Free games updated 3/6/19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azdeus 1,113 Posted August 9 It's somewhat NSFW I think. That's why I'm watching it at work.. 1 Quote Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Keyrock 7,519 Posted August 15 Wasn't Dead Island 2 announced 80 years ago? Quote Check out my terrible Let's Play videos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zoraptor 2,883 Posted August 15 (edited) Yeah but to be fair all Dead Island 2's initial announcement hype got totally drowned out by World War 2 breaking out a couple of weeks later so they kind of had to reannounce it. And for something different; King's Bounty 2 has been officially announced. The announcement trailer is kind of generic (OK, it's about as generic as you could get if you set out to be generic) so I won't bother posting it, but I did enjoy the previous games even when the concept was being run into the ground post Armoured Princess. If my eyes didn't deceive me there will be console versions (and GOG) too, I'd think its style would go down pretty well with some console fans.

Keyrock 7,519 Posted August 15 Do you have those Wolfenstein blues? Are you tired of RPG and loot em up mechanics being crammed into every single game? Do you miss the days when shooters were just shooters? Good news! Ion Fury is out now.

marelooke 494 Posted August 19 Halo Infinite will deliver an "AAA player investment experience", which, as far as I can tell is MS-speak for "a sense of pride an accomplishment".
