I think I've outgrown the endless MMO or FTP games (Warframe, etc). After a decade plus of EverCrack and WoW, I'm done with the grinding. I do miss the community, but not the endless grind and constant RNG Goddess fight

I think I'm glad it's almost over... I think.

Cool beans. Color me interested. I always enjoyed exploring in this game. Granting it was lacking in some story, but building your base and adding to your stockpile was relaxing.

@Neolit I'm due to watch it again. It's been a little while.
Firefly. Oh. Yasssssss.

I will get this for sure. I was watching the E3 devs play the game and it's looking beautiful.

Spyro always has a soft spot for me. I love it!

The reveal trailer still gives me chills... Joel will be active, I'm sure; at least I sure hope so!

@Ralizah Well, maybe Ellie has learned how to swim by now

@DerMeister Firefly. So. Good.

SNAKE!
(but I voted for Nate since I enjoy UC games like crazy and he makes me laugh)

I have quite a few prime frames, no way am I getting rid of my data. But I also haven't played in quite some time. I have a couple friends still playing, I suppose I could jump on their coat tails to get back up to speed.

For me, it was the endless grind and the RNG of the RNG that frustrated me to stop playing. I just stopped having fun running missions 50+ times trying for one rare prime part.

@themcnoisy They've changed quite a bit since the beginning if you haven't played in a long time.

@tatsumi Aiming is needed in WoW, just differently is all. And as I mentioned, I think all games would do better to add more customization of their HUDs. I think GoW could've used a better customization of it's HUD.

Yeah, I agree that large fonts blocking views is silly. I'm glad they are changing it. Sheesh, just a scroll tally on the side works, right?

@fchinaski Have you watched an action movie lately? They are all over the top with "unrealism" so I am just fine with Nathan surviving some blasts.

People must not have played much WoW or any MMO to complain about dmg numbers in the HUD. I'm with @Splat, gamers will complain about anything... or I'm more along the lines of twittrolls just like making noise per usual. But I like the customization of any HUD. Need more games that have that.

I haven't even had my coffee yet on the west coast and this is what greets my morning... oh, my gentlemen.

@Octane More gaming than whiskey! LOL My good friend and I have a running commentary on going home and playing video games in our underwear and drinking whiskey. Which is true on occasion, but not the norm. Sheesh, I'd be a wreck!

@kyleforrester87 "If you're pushing narrative you should take a leaf from Nier Automata." I gotta play this still... now is a good time during my lull of games to play as I've been playing Mad Max (which is okay, but pretty repetitive--I like the driving though).

I enjoy games where the characters grab me emotionally in the story. I can't play them all the time, but I do love them. TLOU is one of my all-time favorites for this reason. I enjoy the new Tomb Raider games for Lara's character as much as the gameplay. Same with the UC series, especially UC:TLL.

But I also enjoy games for being games. I'm old-school and grew up on platformers and dungeon crawlers. I enjoy Unravel and Journey and Child of Light type games.

Who am I kidding? I'm a gamer gurl nut who finds herself sitting in her underwear drinking whiskey playing videos for hours.

Flip a coin for me, but I voted for Geralt since he has a horse named Roach. And plays gwent.

@AFCC I understand the context of your joke/sarcasm. But for me, making light of it diminishes those of us that are in the struggle. As for LGBTQ in this age being safe, we are for from it. In the US, most states still do not have anti-discrimination laws in place to protect LGBTQ. Sad.

I agree, people getting upset over Ellie kiss in the video is ridiculous, but the hate is real. That's why your comment, even if meant in jest, is a little cruel.

I have no hard feelings, and wasn't angry but I wanted to express the insensitivity of your joke. For those of us who have been disowned by family and friends, screamed at on the streets, threatened at work and lost jobs just for being who we are, you could say I'm sensitive about it.

@kyleforrester87 This is for sure a larger discussion than for this thread. "Confused" is a pretty broad term and comes directly from the straight-cis perspective that anything outside the cis-norm is therefore "confusing" and not "normal." Why can't it just be what it is?

@Neolit ** hugs **
@Octane But making light of it diminishes those of us that are in the struggle; because it is real. Just like making racist "jokes" it still doesn't make it okay.

@Neolit @AFCC Being a lesbian is neither "confusing" or "bad." Shame on both of you for diminishing and making light of LGBTQ struggles that are real.

This looks like it might be structured to have some fun with friends who drop on or you can go running through missions solo. I am more intrigued now than before... I was never a fan of Destiny (too much a rip-off of Warframe which I played a lot) but this looks different. I like Bioware, and the combat so far seems okay. But there have been so many great games with really good combat, so I'm hoping this one hold up. I like playing online with friends, so I'm hoping this one fits that need. Monster Hunter World really has been fun, but it also has a mindless grind to it and RNG of the RNG goddess which is annoying haha!

If the grind isn't awful and the missions are fun solo or with friends, I will look to getting this one. Feb 2019? Aren't there a few other games coming out then?

This really caught me by surprise. I can't wait to play this one. I'm really intrigued about the story / gameplay elements because this game is gorgeous.

Ironfist @ShogunRok

1. The Last of Us II (that was intense gameplay... I can't wait!)
2. Spider-man (totally sold on this now... webslinging across Manhattan? Yes please!!
3. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software doing samurai with a cyber-arm?! Whaaaa?! I'm soooooooo in.

@playstation1995 Hehe probably... but I don't tell. I didn't grow up on them either and I'm old school gamer from the birth of video games. Still doesn't mean I like FPS. I think missing half your perspective just doesn't do it for me; like walking with blinders on. I like my sprites!

I can't wait! One of my all time PSone favorite games. Just the fact you could fly was so fun. This looks amazing too. September! Tomb Raider, Spider-man and Spyro! whew...

@Morenoj1220 I know! I love these games too, as much as Uncharted. And now after seeing the Spider-man gameplay this week, I'm sold on web-slinging around that open world. Poor us! Two beautiful games released at basically the same time

@JesWood13 It's called liking a style of game of not. Period. And all my choice, so I don't care what you think about it. Thanks for sharing though.

@Krest_arisen Really? I hadn't heard that... if so, that makes me happy LOL. Thanks!

@LaNooch1978 @Gamer83 I think TLOU2 trailer was more about who Ellie is as a character and the shock value--not of her kissing another woman--but jumping from that tender moment into knife stabs in the neck of her enemy. Because, really, in today's world if someone is all bothered about two gals kissing they are in for some serious waking up. The world has changed. It's still not always safe for LGBTQ, but it's changed a lot just from 10-15 years ago and it's not slowing down. They're just internet trolls. And I think it says a lot about ND's stand on the issue (and the clicks don't hurt)

First-person has me very not interested in this game anymore. Shame, really. I am not a fan of the genre.

Only from the last GoW game has Kratos risen up in my eyes.
::: tips her pint ::: Cheers!

@get2sammyb Thanks for this!

Nioh wasn't the best and this looks better to me. More action focused, at least from the trailer. Who knows with From Software though... they can be super creative. I liked the rope swinging and some of those move sets. I'm a fan!

Oh, and to all those saying Nioh ticked the samurai box... not hardly and there can't be too many samurai games in my opinion. Nioh was one type of game genre. we don't even know the exact type of game this is yet. Don't like samurai? Don't buy it.

First-Person? Barf... I hate first-person... it's like playing with one eye closed.
Now I'm sad.

I can't wait! I like them waiting to announce release dates until it's ready to be released. No delays. No NMS nightmares. I bet it's closer than they are saying though. That gameplay was really polished.

Meh... it's all click-bait trolls and immature weirdos who haven't grown up. Just because the interwebs gives EVERYONE a voice, doesn't mean it's the majority. Usually the loudest and most annoying get the attention.

I ignore you social media! Your vitriol and poison is no match for me and my high skills not of reading your dribble.

It was a lot of fun. I'm excited for all these games

"And, while this world is full of adrenaline, don't let the car chases and guns mislead you. Cyberpunk 2077 us a
true single player, story-driven RPG."

Well, this is good news for me. The trailer is a little something, but CDPR isn't one to make games lightly and the success of W3 means they can do it on their own timeline. That's cool, I'll wait.

I'm with @Neolit and this will most likely turn into a PS5 release, which will be dope.

I really love these games. Looking forward to the final chapter.

As long as DICE isn’t doing it, I’m interested.

@Rudy_Manchego I'm a 100% correct on my choices

I voted TLOU 2 because I can’t wait for the game, but I am so very interested in Ghost of Tsushima.

@NintendoFan4Lyf "I would like to see more variation to characters and weapons - maybe have more acrobatic characters with varying movesets. Maybe have dual knives and no block, but higher dodging speed and a high-stamina counter-attack. Perhaps I am missing the point since I am still a Souls novice."

I think maybe you might want to grab more weapons in Bloodborne and experiment with different builds. You can do exactly this in Bloodborne with skill builds and weapons, especially the Old Hunters DLC weapons. My favorite is Rakuyo.

I'll add it to the very long backlog list! But will probably play after GoW.

@Oscartes Why's he gotta be so handsome AND good?!
@Flaming_Kaiser Huh?

@Oscartes "Ultimate Playstation Character" doesn't mean most Playstation brand or Playstation exclusive only or else those characters wouldn't be in the tourney. It's the Ultimate Playstation Character... which is a character that happens to be on the Playstation. You can interpret however you want, to be sure, but there are no rules regarding Playstation branding... you could also say which character sold more Playstations, and sure wasn't Sackboy...

Bloodborne is definitely more my play style--fast, dodging, quick attacks (I will always be a rogue from my vanilla WoW + 7 years) and tend to build most my characters (when having a choice) in that game style. I've never been a fan of the clank & spank. I'm not opposed to getting this, but most likely when it drops in price. It's hard to pass on such a classic From Software.

I found this site to be really good and they go through how to setup for gaming too. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/by-usage/hdr-gaming
