Like I used to be excited for FPS and RPG/MORPG when they were announced now not anymore, like either everything is really watered down or they are not captivating anymore in a story. What was the last game you guys really cared a lot about? I mean I am looking forward to Diablo 4, just cause I was a big fan of the franchise, played the hell out of Diablo 3, still do sometimes. Also like the Tom Clancy's games like Vegas/Vegas 2. Those FPS's were the bomb in story line and game play there's really nothing out there to match it with the newear games. Call of Duty has gone away from what made the game interesting. I don't know maybe I am just an old head gamer, who misses the real classics back in the day and how they were innovating, now a days nothing is innovating its just better graphics and gimmicks. I have yet to see a trailer for Xbox Series X/PS5 that make you go wow look at this, its gonna change gaming moving forward. I keep hearing the engineers online saying that this line of platforms are just transitioning into the future, there just here to keep everyone interested while the real changes happen in the next gen, PS6 etc.



currently playing utawarerumono mask of truth and man i just love this game. it has a pretty good story, likeable characters and pretty nice SRPG gameplay.

so far i'm over 40 hrs playing the game. good stuff but yeah you are right creativity in games has hit a wall


I play The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (part 1, 2, 3, & now I’m playing 4). I only get to play the game for about 3 hours a month and I’ve been playing it for like 7 years now. It’s a JRPG. Lots of character development. Not a game with high action, nor are the graphics amazing. Just a good story.

Regarding Diablo 4, I have lost faith in Blizzard’s ability to do anything innovative. Just poking at their goose to lay another golden egg at this point. I mean, WoW remastered? Wtf. Good video summarizing Blizzard below:

that's a good series but what they did at the end of the last game didnt sit well with me. i got the bad ending. meh


that's the allure of jrpgs the story and characters endears you. though some can be quite puerile too

Dang. You telling me part 4 has a bad ending? Now I’m bummed. The different series though are all continuous. They link characters from other series cuz it’s all the same world. So don’t think the story ends just cuz a series is over.

Panthers win! Scored with 12seconds left in 4th OT. 6th longest game in NHL history.

You guys get hurricanes, us in the middle of the country get tornados and large hail. A some of the hail got up to baseball to softball size. For some reason they cut the video when one of them decided to try to open the door to pick a big one up, I wonder if someone got injured.

Saw The Flash. Not generally a fan of the Justice League era DC movies but this was really good. I was hyped for it since Michael Keaton was in the trailer and was not disappointed. Some other nostolgic Easter eggs too were icing on the cake.

Anybody know why the NBA Game Ball changed from Spalding to Wilson? Didn't even notice until this year's playoffs.

$$$

I’m sure that NBA tried to get them to pay exorbitant fees for the privilege of being the official ball maker and they said no.
