9th is super easy, well. This day to day right now has to be microsoft flight simulator 2020, can't beat how good looking that simulator is compare to other game sout there. USing bing maps and whatnot. 

A game about Batman's universe without Batman, and even worse its a live service co op type of game. Im not saying the game itself will be bad (we dont know yet) but this is not what the people wants.

Graphically, I actually think SFV looks better but it could just be me though...

I always have fun when they add stuff like this, I just wished they added the lightsabers as an actual skin for the pickaxe, in game they are not really usefull, but the unlimited ammo blaster was a ton of fun

There's not much I can say about this, especially given the trailer: it's more REmakes. I imagine it's a Marmite thing, either you love 'em or you hate 'em, and maybe people are just waiting for the right game so... good for those who wanted to play RE4?
I'd like to give these a try. If I enjoy Resident Evil 2's remakes, I think I'd enjoy this one just as much.

A greedy, insidious mess of pay-to-win lootboxes and predatory monetisation. It may even be the most horrid example of the implementation of such systems that we have ever seen in a game of this type.
 
Activation-Blizzard (who I will refer to from now on as cock noses) released thier very much not anticipated "free-to-play" (a term I use very loosely indeed) addition to the Diablo franchise on Android, iOS and PC on June 2nd to a rousing chorus of "Yes, this is shit, like we expected". The only thing that the cock noses suppressed me with is just how bad it is.
 
Youtuber Bellular News breaks this down in detail, here's his video.
 
 
I'll also link Jim Stephanie Sterling's video as that was how I was first made aware of this. This is also very much worth a watch.
 
 
I would ask you to please watch both videos before commenting. I know that means not being able to make 5 posts in the next 10 minutes, but I not going to tolerate anyone making a stupid point or asking a stupid question because they obviously couldn't be bothered watch the clips or read this post in it's entirety. You have been warned.

Full details in the videos as aforementioned, but here is the basics. Using the games deliberately convoluted and complex system involving buying premium currency's, crafting and using the systems that involve of a use of gameplay (You do have to actually play the game to earn the rewards you pay for, so a small glimmer of good from the cock noses in this sea of shit.) the using that premium currency to access certain rewards and areas of the game, it has been estimated that it would cost a minimum of $100,000 to max out a character in Diablo Immortal. I promise you, that is not a misprint, $100,000. It has also been estimated that to achieve the same without paying would take 10 years of play. No hours, not days, not weeks or even months. Years.
 
The cock noses were booed at Blizzcon 2018 over this game, and that was before they were exposed over the harassment and sexual misconduct that had been plaguing the company, so we knew back then what this going to be. So obviously, I didn't care about this game from minute one, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. The cock noses clearly built these microtransactions into the same so integrally that they pulled the plug on the games release in countries like the Netherlands and Belgium where lootboxes are banned. They obviously couldn't remove them, there a vital part of the game to point where I'd say they are literally what the game if for, the game exists for them. So anyone who planned to play the "It's Optional" card, I'm telling you before you even begin you're wrong. If they microtransactions were optional, why couldn't they remove them then release the game in these countries like EA did with FIFA? That's right, the cock noses are worse than EA, that's how bad it is.
 
The only sign that the cock noses listened to the fans is the fact the game did release of PC as well, but means very little when the game is such an insult.
 
How do you feel about all of this?

Kojima's stories tend to be very deep with a lot of physiological and mythological meaning integrated into the plot so it doesn't surprise me that some people wouldn't like the story because it'll take a lot of thinking to decipher. Nowadays, gamers are used to mainly dumbed-down games so when something like this comes along, they'll tend to dislike it because it forces them to actually think...

I think we had a discussion like this a few years back and most people came to the same conclusion that it'd make gaming more stressful and after a while you'll suffer burnout and lose the passion for gaming.

Of course the ideal scenario is both but I was just gauging which one you guys would prioritize if you had to make a choice.

I called it!!!

I've read a few articles that say Sony is planning to end the PS4 by 2025, in an attempt to put all their focus on the PS5. They are apparently slowing games production for the PS4 considerably already. But their plan is to move past the PS4, and go full-steam-ahead with the PS5. While I see this as a logical step from a business perspective, I don't think it will work out the way they want. The PS5 was released 2 years ago, and is still incredibly hard to find. The PS4 didn't suffer the same release issues. I know Covid is a factor here, so I'm forgiving them for that. But the world will still be reeling from the "aftershock" at best by 2025. The retailers are having an almost impossible time getting it. The only current gen system that is widely available is the Xbox Series S. The Series X is in the same boat as the PS5. So like I said, logical from a business perspective, but not a good idea just yet. Until production for the new system is able to go full-steam-ahead again, I don't think plans to discontinue one of their most successful consoles is the way to go. Granted we're talking about the games themselves here, but considering the context of things, they're essentially ending the PS4 all together if they stop releasing games for it.
 
Here is one of the articles I read.

Gran Turismo is a great one as they also give you some racing history as well with certain tracks and the records that certain cars broke on those tracks.

Elden Ring and COD: Warzone

It's way cheaper than every other flagship currently on the market - it's like $650 which is the price that flagships used to be about 5-6 years ago or possibly even cheaper.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G - the last Samsung flagship with a micro SD slot and the last one I'll ever be buying.

I think it was Bender in the episode of Futurama "The Bots and The Bee's" he said:
 
 
That pretty much sums up how I feel.  I drink beer but I'm more of a spirit's man.

Nice point mate, I thought about that too. Government agencies ought to have looked into it,trace the developers of the coin and question them for causing max loss that touched even the rich so bitterly. Such is Ponzi steps, no difference, because they caused much more losses than profit for investors. 

Being in the middle, you can at least defend yourself whereas a noob is vulnerable and as a high level character, picking on people weaker than me is boring as hell and that'd be 95% of people in-game.

This is a tough one as most animes are very racist  and xenophobic and background characters are always the first to get killed. The anime worlds  i don't want to live in ;
Attack On Titan (Just imagine being a background character during the rumbling XD) Gundam (The first people the villains always aim for are the citizens/ background characters plus lots of psychopaths). Dragon Ball (Every other day it's either some super powered alien try to destroy the Earth or one of Dr. Gero's Androids) I'd probably want to live in the Rurouni Kenshin Universe and be farmer just living out my days peacefully.

I use both, but damn the hotmail account that takes me back since it's still the one i made in computer class as part of an assignment. I think it was in 2001 orso, one of the very first times we were allowed to use internet in computer class, our teacher made us sign up for the school news letter aswell all pretty primitive stuff haha. I never really saw the point in changing it so i kept it around all these years, these days meanly for my xbox account and a few other smaller things and Offcourse how can i forget for msn messenger, where is the time we would send homework answers and music to eachother via msn messenger.
Nowadays i primarly use gmail meanly because i'm used to it and it works best for me, but it's not that i think either hotmail or gmail is better, i think they are both equal imo. If somebody would force me to use hotmail again, it's not that i'm going to lose sleep over it.

My favorite players in sports history are Zenadine Zidane and Dennis Bergkamp - two outstanding footballers with brilliant technique and strong will to win.

As @kingpotato says, it's easy to install the emulator and really get going.

Mirage is my favorite - I love using the holograms to completely confuse enemies.

Anyway, may as well get back on topic now. 
 
Like others such as @Yaramaki, @kingpotato and @Reality vs Adventure have said, I'm not really big into multiplayer anymore. I enjoy a compelling story as a empowering yet relatable character more than I do playing multiplayer. Multiplayer is always a nice option, but if that's all the game rally has to offer than as soon as people move on from it, the game is worthless. Without a story mode, a game will just fizzle out and not leave a lasting impact.
