Also, over a decade of motion cobtrols and touchscreens has left me with little patience for controller controlled on-screen keyboards...

Enjoy driving around and avoiding getting bitten by giant spiders! Congrats.

I’m thinking that you meant to say scorpions.

Finally got my Dragon armour in Skyrim. Seems a touch pointless given that my Daedric armour is already better than it. And it weighs a ton.

Also ended the war, sided with the Empire. Ulfrics body stays slain in the Windhelm hall, nobody bothers moving a rotting corpse LOL

It's the small scorpions that are most venemous, anyway.

My gamertag is SupremeACvgp, shoukd anyone want to befriend me on xbox.

Spent half an hour trying to get the xbone to play a bluray. You need to download an app for this.

Made an avatar. My Mii resembles me more.

Played som FH3. It's nice to have a propper arcade racer to play. What's with the gale constantly reminding me I can rewind when I put the smallest dent in my car? Didn't Blinx learn us that rewind mechanisms are lame? Getting an SSX vibe from this game, I'm going to enjoy this.

Looking forward to playing Vanquish and Catherine, hellblade when that releases. I can sign up for 3 months of Gold for €8, so I might do that and get MHWorld early on and just play that for 3 months...

If you’ve never played it, I’d recommend one of the Fallout games.  They are no lookers but they have fun gameplay. You are kind of tempting me to get an Xbone for some multiplayer fun ( ain’t gonna happen at this moment)

I don't think I could handle big rpg's right now. Too much going on in life to be able to dedicate a lot of time to gaming.  That's akso one of the reasons I picked the FH3 bundle over say the AC one or the one with shadow of mordor. I am tempted to try the gamepass only to try Sea of Thieves. Although I fear it won't be much fun without friends.

How's the monster hunting going for you?  Might be I'll get MHWorld sooner rather than later and I'd love to join up for some lower level stuff.

I said and correct me. WinkWink

I ended up listening to the video and reading the review, and it seems my post was right. Polygon is criticising UbiSoft not just for being pussys, but also for being shit at writing: going for edgy content, but failing to do anything edgy with it. Again, it's bad at making the argument, but it's an argument that is a reasonable one. Same with Financial Post. Neither arguments are saying the viewpoints need to agree with them, just that if you use the subject matter, you may want to actually do something with it. The video misunderstands the argument: it's not that it isn't how the reviewer wants the story to be, it's that it's a shit story because it does nothing with its subject matter. That's a common criticism, and one people wouldn't be annoyed about if politics isn't involved. The fact that politics is involved, changes nothing about the argument; it just makes people more sensitive, and UbiSoft pussys as well as shit writers.

LOL

Truth be told, I know nothing about the story or plot of Far Cry 5. All I know is that it's set in the American midwest somewhere with a bunch of crazy cultists going apeshit. That's pretty much the same type of thing the last few Far Cry's have done in whatever setting they happened to be in. The first couple games in the series had more of a sci-fi story going on...at least FC1 and Far Cry Instincts. So being that it's similar to the last few, I just don't get why it needs any kind of real life politics or agenda's thrown in there. Personally, that's not something I want in my games unless it's some sort of Splinter Cell-ish game, and even then I don't want to be preached to about why this group or that group is right or wrong like they're trying to convince me to vote for one side or the other.

So I guess they can call Ubisoft pussys for not going this route, but personally I'm glad they didn't. And I don't know that it's a valid criticism because I can't see them really meaning to go that way in the first place. It's like some people just automatically think "Oh, American midwest...this has to be some kind of political redneck story" the same way that any game set in Africa like Resident Evil 5, must be racist.

As for shit writing, well...it's Far Cry. The writing has never been great. Nyaa

I started playing Kingdom Hearts again, for the first time in well over a decade.  It’s still fun but the basic mechanics and camera haven’t aged well at all.  The camera is all over the place, sometimes forcing me to move to another area because I can’t see shit during battle.  I’m going to have map out my controls because the controls for aiming, attacking and jumping are not intuitive.  I also don’t remember having this much trouble figuring out where to go.  This game does not point you in the right direction hardly at all. I spent hours in the Deep Jungle (Tarzan level) climbing up vines to the treehouse and back down to the camp over and over again.  All for one single task.  I don’t even want to discuss the horrible Gummi levels.  I seem to remember KH2 fixing a lot of these problems.  We will see.

Eh... I wasn't all too impressed to be honnest. Then again, as MosesTheRed said when he was trolling Rogue Leaders then amazing visuals "games with only machines don't count".

I'm ready to be blown away by Monster Hunter World though.

It’s been going great. I’ve done pretty much everything in the game right now except for perhaps building certain armour sets and trying out a few different weapon types. I’ve kind of slowed down on playing this as regularly as I use to but still hop on from time to time to do events when they pop up.

Yeah I pretty much feel the same way. It still feels like a PS2 era RPG, but then again that's what it is...it's old as shit now. I need to get back to it though...the underlying game is still quality stuff. I definitely hope and expect KH3 to have a much more modern control scheme and feel to it.

Mad Max is an excellent freebie. I played a small bit of the game on PC last year and it seems really good.

I think your argument is perfectly fair as well, but there's no need for random YouTubers to mischaracterise another argument just because they disagree with it. Nyaa
