This one was a literal jawdropper because nobody expected that Shepherd would turn out to be a traitor. There were a few very subtle signs but you'd think it was just your imagination.

Valid point there - I don't really have an issue with it but DOA is just a real standout

This is one of those scenes where I literally had to shake my head.

Gears of War 2 always provides some good laughs

For instance, I can relate to Dante's laid-back attitude although he tends to do this to throw off his opponents but also because why take everything so serious. I'm a bit like that as well, like why take most things so seriously? It isn't that deep. Sometimes you have to really loosen up a bit and I find that when I'm at my best is when I just relax and have some fun. What about you - what character can you totally relate to?

Collecting butterflies and all that kind of ridiculous side missions just to get to 100% in GTA really annoys me. It's only because I normally spend so much time playing it that I have the patience to do these missions...

Rocket League, MK 11 and Skyrim SE

To be honest, I remember this happened to me in high school when someone said "Dante" and as a fan of DMC, I responded. My friends made fun of me for months because I used to talk about DMC a lot.

Dead or Alive is one of those games very guilty of this. GTA is also in this category and I'd also throw in Saints Row.

I was playing this paladin character in Skyrim where I had to follow the laws and I'm not allowed to kill most people - it was so annoying when guards got in my way and I accidentally hit them. I have to serve jail time and all that stuff just to stay true to the character.

This is a tough one to answer if I'm being honest because there aren't many games like that currently available. As a matter of fact, I can't really think of one...

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Actually, due to the pandemic, a good number of gamers have really cut back on their spending so most people won't buy their games for $70.

The fact that I have all three games already just makes this very uninteresting to me. However, just like you, I really wonder if they're actually stupid enough to try and sell this for $60 when you can get all 3 games for about $20. Square Enix and the whole avengers thing has led me to believe they may very well go down this path.

I like XBox's way of doing it in that they let the studio do their thing and they support them from the sidelines as it should be.

The exclusive games they have with Sony still stands because I suspect those were already set in stone long before the Xbox takeover so they have to honor that. Other games going forward will be a case by case basis so we'll see. I'm surprised they haven't fired Todd "it just works" Howard as yet - He's one of the main reasons why Bethesda had to get bought out by Xbox. I think it's a good deal as well but Todd is a very dishonest guy.

EA's statement sounded like this "Unless we're the ones ripping you off directly, it's not allowed and we won't stand for because it's unfair!". EA sure knows how to make us laugh.

Being a completionist in GTA games is an absolute pain. From collecting butterflies to have to use a particular vehicle to do a certain stunt in a certain part of the city can really grind your gears.

I wouldn't say important but I just like completing something I started. However, it also depends on the game in question and if I feel any incentive to stick around to complete it.

AH Yes, I found a summary for those who are out of the loop. I think this Reddit post gives a good summary of the events: The funny thing is years later, the gaming journalists are still trying to associate most of the isolated incidents of toxicity that has happened recently to gamergate instead of what they really are. From what I've seen of gaming media in general, they still haven't moved past the incident while most gamers weren't even aware something like this took place. I totally agree with you that this was a missed opportunity for the gaming industry as a whole and it probably would've resolved most of the issues in the gaming industry. Instead, the whole situation is still festering in the background and I wouldn't be surprised if this happens again in the future. Having said that, it reminded me of a regular WWE wrestling match turning into an all-out brawl with wrestlers coming from everywhere.

Another thing I'd change especially about the PS5 is let it be backwards compatible with every generation of Sony games from the original PS to PS4. I mean, they can do it but they purposely limited it to PS3 when the patent for their backwards compatibility software said it could even run the original PS games.

Not only that but PlayStation has a lot more exclusives than XBox currently has and it's a shame too because at one point, Xbox had a whole host of games such as Mech Assault, Fable and others. Now it's just Halo and they're set to release a new Fable game but it won't be out for another year at least so that's that.
