https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/22/destiny-2-how-a-fresh-start-let-bungie-make-its-biggest-game-yet How many people played the first one? I played it for a long time till I got tired of just playing expansions and moved on although have to say when you paired with friends to hit the Crucible it was loads of fun and some of the videos of teams that practiced to get the kinds of scores and loot they got was fun to watch.

LOFL what was that. Accurate to say the least but funny I especially loved the end where they did a Lilo and Stitch for Arsenal and the Europa League.

After getting my head into a space to finally play through all of Prey I can only say this "Its a horrible attempt by Bethesda and should be avoided at all costs unless they can fix all the problems it has". I was unfortunate enough to get the stupid save issue and that put me off a bit but I figured I'd still try and get through it till the end only to realize meh what was that all for. The game mech is very good when you get to later parts of the game but I expected so much more from a company I believe makes some fantastic games. Back to MK I go. So far this year Sony has had the best of the crop when it comes to games and that's always weird considering they generally do one or two good titles in a year.

I don't remember it being easy either. The other game I enjoyed playing from Lucas Arts was Curse of Monkey Island. That's another classic that brings back some good memories.

I played the original a long time ago and that other classic Day of the Tentacle. Masterpieces.

Played it last year and think I even posted about it on the old forum. Its a great game in my book because it creates the environments well, game mechanics aren't overtly hard to grasp and the puzzle-oriented gameplay keeps you engaged. The only gripe I have with this and Limbo are that they're just too damn short. If I am not wrong this one actually worked its way up the ladder to a GOTY award nomination too and they rightfully deserve it.

So after playing Prey for a while now I can say its a lot better than I initially hoped it would be. The survivor style action gaming is good and its not going to be a GOTY by any means but its entertaining enough to keep you playing.

I bought it. It gets a lot more interesting later on but it just feels laggy for some reason. I am going to play it through and see whether it gets better.

Played the new Prey today from Bethesda. For all the hype it nearly generated the game disappoints in the FPS level. I'd have imagined with the other game about space aliens (Doom) that they'd have gone with a far more action oriented adventure style game but so far it seems dull and slow. The skill tree is very nice and the fact that you can create weapons and fabricate stuff is a nice novelty but I can't see this being anything other than a game I play now and then to see how far it goes. People are comparing it to BioShock, SystemShock and Deus Ex but I can't see how they draw those parallels when those games kept you engaged from the start. Persona 5 on the other hand is high-octane fun.

WTF that is all.

@Bluebird Hewitt took your advice and went and got MK8. The fun is ridiculous.

Darksiders III is now official and coming late 2018 according to the leaked images and the Amazon snippet. Steam even has it out now and have to say I am very excited that this game is back the first two imo were really good platformers. https://gematsu.com/2017/05/darksiders-iii-reveal-leaked-ps4-xbox-one-pc

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-ready-smash-transfer-record-10295643 I know I know not credible but you'd imagine they'd be taking a lot of consideration for defensive positions seeing as we've never really had our backline properly playing with each other for most of the season.

News flying around that we're breaking the bank to get Virgil in the summer? I can get behind that because hes a rather solid defender and will do the backline some good as well. Of course there's always the chance he'll come here and struggle initially and get lambasted for not being able to do his job as well but what the hell.

https://www.engadget.com/2017/04/27/nintendos-hardware-visionary-is-calling-it-a-day/?sr_source=Twitter Seems like these days a lot of the people who worked in some of the more creative aspects of the gaming industry are stepping down. Quite an impressive history behind him as well.

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/04/after-nintendo-switch-does-the-3ds-have-a-future/ If you have a 3DS then this it isn't all bad immediately but given their history its going the way of the dodo soon.

Quite like the new kit they have for the 125th. Simple and clean.

My initial thought when I saw it was yes I will be getting it on day one but I've kind of neglected my PC for a bit and I used to play a lot of Overwatch there. Saw W4K and said its been a while since I sat down to play a proper strategy game. I think Mario Kart is going to be a fantastic addition to the Switch because of the social aspect of it and the JoyCon being split between two or four players as well so I might pick it up in May but for now I am thinking PC is where I'll be for a while. I blame Nier because if I hadn't gotten it on Steam I'd probably have gotten MK for the Switch.

Inspired by the post and the fact that Nier finally got done I went and looked at the new Warhammer 40K today. Looks quite impressive. I was thinking I should spend my money next on Mario Kart but I think I'll go back to PC for a while with the new W4K installment until the new Fire Emblem comes out in May. What a shame it isn't coming to the Switch ... typical Nintendo.

Highly doubt it. Klopp is rather stubborn with players he likes. Point in case is Roberto. He didn't look anything like what he does now but even when he was getting stick Klopp stuck with him.

I get the feeling we'll see more of Karius next season because Klopp does like him as is evident with the way he was still pushed back out to play after the mistakes he made. Giving him time might work out for us in the longer run but with the form Migs is in right now I don't think he'll take that chance.

Someone really likes the new Zelda

Just finished catching up on Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan Manga. When I first watched season 1 of the anime I thought it was one of those run-of-the-mill kind of shows but then it started getting really deep and now I feel guilty reading ahead because they started season 2 and knowing things ahead of time can spoil a lot of the show for you.

That's a very difficult decision to make and as has been stated above you can't just shut down an entire portion of the service due to abuse by a few. The problem with anything 'live' is that it has to be shutdown at the point it gets started or immediately after and then set further actions in motion to never let it happen again. This is where Facebook as an entity failed and they have a lot of lessons to learn from their other digital cousin (Twitter) who always seem to be getting into this kind of shit time and time again. I wouldn't be surprised if they did do something (not shut it down completely) to sort this mess out but I doubt this is the last we're going to see this kind of stupidity repeated again. You take a cheap mobile streaming device, couple it with a free publication service and put absolutely no safe-guards in place (how can you with 1.86Billion users) what did anyone think was going to happen?
