I can’t seem to finish the humongous P5R, then there is Chaos and Fire Emblem Valentia. Oh, and I‘m near the end of Paranormasight.
So I did the only sane thing
,,,
I started Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Help.

(not bad, confusing setting, some mechanical refinements over 1, horrible tutorial, a giant mess of mechanics during combat)

It's legit.

Um, we've played as some kind of authorities or authorized for violence forces in a gazillion games and loads of people are into stuff like Squad, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Swat or even COD. That this happens to look cool in a way that made folks think it's fake doesn't mean it should be scrutinized more than all of these other games put together with that tiny French indie studio specifically targeted as some kind of pro cop violence den. Sheesh. The dream is still for cops to be heroes that do shit for the citizens, even if it's not true 99.99% of the time games are a fantasy, even when realistic. I like Lethal Weapon and Die Hard and Rush Hour and Law & Order and detective Monk and Batman and their cop friends that also work against corrupt cops and Brooklyn Nine-Nine and tons of other detective/cop/related stuff among other completely unrelated media and that doesn't mean I think of any real cop as the same as any of those folks either. At least wait to judge the narrative. What do you think, that you'll be attacking innocent folks in their homes, or that they will have news stories of your cases where you're blamed for doing that while from playing you will know that is not at all what happened so it's legit trying to imply that's how shit goes..?

What's even worse, while taking the piss out of the people who are being ripped off by Sony and their fucking horrendous regional pricing. I wonder when the last time he actually paid for a game.

The man is a horrible cunt and I hope I never have to see him again. I don't think we should even be giving him the views. What a horrible excuse for a human being.

I only occasionally watch DOTA, but huge amount of updates. Seems like it will majorly shake up the game.

I haven't played Dota in over 5 years and I'm half tempted to install it and see what's different in bot matches. You couldn't pay me enough to play with real people again.

I mean I guess but in Spec Ops the line everyone seemingly enjoyed that one a lot and it was just Warcrimes in the desert the FPS
Spec Ops was at least attempting to critic the players actions and satirize the 1 man army/hero fantasy tropes that shooters often are (re: it's loading screen messages).

Unless there is a lot more going on in Unrecord, and maybe there is, but they've shown nothing really - it's just cops killing people played straight with a topical camera mechanic. Guy has to know how that looks in 2023 and is either holding out on us or is aiming for that audience. Controversy breeds clicks, so I'm thinking it's a bit of both.

Cunt behaviour
He fucking lost it after Sony began to port to PC, before he was just a slightly obnoxious PS fanboy (because he is a fanboy). He just can't cope with the fact that other disgusting people get to play with HIS games. How the fuck can you be that petty while being kinda acclaimed I guess (He won gamer of the year I think?
Also it wouldn't surprise me if this was Gregs alter ego. What a sad pathetic fuck.

And worst of all, you can't really critique him since he can just say "just a joke bro". Yeah, really hilarious.

Greg was always annoying. From his IGN days and onward. People hire him as presenter and in my opinion he is really bad as presenter. He talks too fast andhe doesn't speak clearly, things that good presenter really needs. And he is even worse when he runs his own shows. But his audience likes it so he continues 5o behave like that.

I’m surprised at how much I love Xenoblade 2. I guess making a cast who doesn’t channel the charisma of a dead animal helps. Who would have guessed ?
And humor, too ? A tad juvenile, granted, but humor ?
Incredibulu.

The side quests are still super bad though. And if, yeah, there are less of them, they don’t want to end.

All in all an incredibly good surprise... If the emulation didn’t softlock like there is no tomorrow, and if I could get back in a save often state of mind. I swear I must have 1/3 of my playtime replaying content.
