The Video/PC Game Discussion Thread

I'll definitely give that a watch when I get the chance. Highly likely to be an early purchase for me, if not pre-order.

I have a giftable copy of the game Minion Masters that popped up in my Steam inventory. I've no use for it. If anyone wants it let me know. I can either send it via email (PM me) or directly through Steam if you're on my friend list.

Yeah it's official. Not sure what to expect to be honest as I don't know him as an actor at all. Never bothered to watch any of the current DC films since as far as I can tell the only one that seems worth a damn is Wonder Woman.

Yeah, I don't understand The Witcher lore all that well, but basically what I do understand is, it's based heavily on middle age Europe (CDPR even used that argument to fend off people complaining about a lack of racial diversity within The Witcher 3) and it sounds like Netflix is trying to Americanize it, which is pretty stupid, imo. 

Well the release of Shadow of the Tomb Raider has crept right up on me. Hearing good things about it so far. Still highly tempted to buy early. Shouldn't as I've had to fork out for a new screen for my PC recently, but highly tempted. Moreso due to nearly being at the end of the current Witcher 3 run. Just got the final bit of Blood and Wine to play. And maybe run around the maps revealing all those last ? icons (which I've never done in full on the Skellige map).

I actually did start Shadow of the Tomb Raider right away, since Dragon Quest is nowhere near being finished, and putting Tomb Raider off for long would have made me restless, I think. It's basically Rise 2.0, except with less combat, and it has the slowest start of the three modern games, which is saying something, considering they all have pretty slow starts. Otherwise, all gameplay elements are there and as good as ever, the story seems good as usual, and the combat picks up big time in the second half, with the implementation of stealth being possibly my favorite in any game I've played, as I usually hate forced stealth, but this game handles it really well, with some of the things you can do. 

Well someone was bound to do it:

This is very sad. Some of the best games of recent years I've played have been made by them and I know I'm not the only one to feel that way given how well received a lot of them have been. Maybe this is proof that the episodic release structure is not a good thing in the long run as a lot of people, like me, will not buy the titles until they are 100% released. Of maybe they just bit off more than they could chew with too many franchises going at once instead of focusing on the titles people most wanted - I know I'm not the only one who wanted a second Tales from the Borderlands - yet they opted to make more than one Minecraft game since then and that was one of their less well received titles. 

Still a shame there won't be a second Tales From the Borderlands now. I know it wasn't technically on the cards anyway, but I still had hope. I hate unresolved cliffhangers like that game had.
