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. 2 hours ago, Mel81x said: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
