https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/07/why-is-there-no-smoking-in-gears-5-it-depends-on-who-you-ask/

If you haven't heard about this there won't be any smoking from any of the NPCs in Gears 5. What is rather odd is how it came about but I honestly don't think it affects anything or anyone whether they smoke or not. I honestly could really give two-shits about it and how it works out but the comment section made me think why this is rated as an M title and they only focused on the smoking part as an exclusion? Surprised they didn't tone down the chainsaw hacking or anything else.

It reminds me of a speech Kyle's mum made in the South Park film where before America goes to war with Canada, she mentions 'that graphic violence is ok, as long as people don't say naughty words. That's what this war is all about'. 

I don't know if it's an American thing or just in general, but people always seem up in arms over things that show smoking (I guess for the whole 'it encourages children' angle, despite the games being for adults) but happily ignore the part where you blow heads off, cut them with a chainsaw or explode them.

Yeah I am not overtly worried about it either. I've never really cared for Gears honestly.

I don't have an Xbox One but I enjoyed the first three. Didn't even bother with Judgement and it just looks like they're now milking it.

Oh I actually love the Gears games (even Judgment, which was a bit crap in comparison to the rest of the series) and I've been looking forward to the follow up to Gears 4. But to me it's pretty important they keep the gore in the game, it's a pretty dark game with a dark story and how violent it is plays a big part in the "feel" of the game and the world they've built for the stories. And imo they've got a great story campaign, so it'd be a shame for them to fuck that up.

Looking forward to their "tech test" tomorrow for Gears 5, so I guess I'll see how gory it is in just over 24 hours.

I know its been on Steam for a bit, but Two Point Hospital has been announced for PS4, Xbox One and Switch. Due 'late 2019'.

I hardly played Theme Hospital back in the day but heard this is very good and will be keeping an eye out. 

Loved Theme Hospital back in the day; in fact I think I still have it somewhere... Will probably check this one out at some point.

Tekken is big here, there are plenty of tournaments in big cities with real cash. 

I suck at it though :(

My Tekken skills arent really all that rough but man Arslan's rush game and the ability to juggle are insane. From what I was reading on another forum the level in Pakistan is extremely high as well. Looking forward to see you'll at more FGC tournaments.

I don't know what more worrying here, that Amazon tried an 'experiment' or that the 'experiment' thought that the users needed redirecting to a porn channel based on user behaviour.

Nintendo had an Indie Direct earlier today, with Super hot and the Hotline Miami duo being released today. 

Though it was rumoured for a while, the Microsoft-Nintendo partnership continues as Ori and the Blind Forest was announced for Switch. Due for release next month. Considering the high praise it has got, I may buy this.

Its a very well crafted game and I am surprised Microsoft didn't try and push Will of the Wisps onto the Switch as well for more sales.

Considering the way the partnership is going, I wouldn't be surprised if that happened at some point. I assume like Cuphead, they didn't want to release two at the same time and affect sales.
