I just found the slut-shaming quest in Skyrim. Very weird. All this time and I had no idea that was a thing. Clint - I think it's the one in Riften where you have to talk to the men Haelga (the owner of Haelga's Bunkhouse) slept with and get the "Marks of Dibella" from them as a favor to her spiteful niece, as a means to humiliate Haelga for sleeping with more than one man. And the men, when you talk to them, make it clear that they would be embarrassed if their affairs with Haelga were exposed; by their words it's not just because sex is personal business, it's because they make rude comments about her 'promiscuity' and her tastes.

Played 30 minutes of Late Shift before I had to pack it in. That British crime drama definitely did NOT have the minerals.

I sat down last night to play an hour or so before bed, and wound up playing the same section of Dishonored 2 until 3 AM

Turns out the Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines sewer section WAS as bad as they said it was.

Just fucking goes on and on doesn't it? A definite low point in the game.

As much as I love the recent Mad Max game, it did some wretched things. They too so many liberties with Mad Max canon by making the setting excessively (read: needlessly) grimdark. Oceans no longer exist, everyone is going to die soon, dark clouds on nearly every horizon, pits of gore and cannibalism, etc. it feels very weird, considering that the mad max films, including the darkest title, the Road Warrior (which is the film that the game clearly draws most of its influence from), had a prevailing feeling of optimism and hope.
They also could have done without making it a janky and half assed direct sequel to Fury Road. The War Boys in the game completely lack the charm they did in the latest film, and just generally don't act right.

I was holding out hope for Beyond Good and Evil 2 for ages, then I wasn't one of the people who the E3 trailer didn't cheese off, then I found out the game's aiming to be a No Man's Sky clone instead of a Zelda-esque Action Adventure.
It's pretty dispiriting. I feel like it takes a certain kind of arrogance to look at NMS (and read about a similar idea was one of the first stumbling blocks for ME:A) and go, "No, I can definitely do that right!". Even if you did make a kickass Rayman game a few years ago.

Even if you did make a kickass Rayman game a few years ago. How can anyone look at Beyond Good and Evil and think "the sequel should be an open world crafting exploration game"? Da muthafucking wut? Thanks Ubisoft, you now somehow suck even more now than you ever did before. An amazing accomplishment considering uplay.

Immediately after beating Witcher 3's vanilla main story and dropping into Kaer Morhen with a message saying "You have beaten the Witcher 3's story. You can still explore the regions and collect treasures and such". And trudging forth, knowing that you'll never talk to any of the main characters again unless you start a new game. It's like the end of Roman Holiday (1953), only a more intimate profound sadness since you're a part of it. Shit, I'm beginning to feel this pretty badly with Horizon: Zero Dawn. I haven't actually finished the main quest yet, but I'm sitting on 97% completion at the moment, with only a couple of things left to polish off. Just kind of depressing roaming around with nothing to do but shoot animals.

EA deserve another turd for cancelling that Amy Hennig Star Wars game. Oh, sorry, pivoting it from a story heavy linear action adventure to something those befuddled addicts the so-called Real Gamers will enjoy.

David Cage is apparently rewriting parts of Detroit so it'll be less relevant to the situation re. race relations in the US. Between that and some of the other interviews he's given about the game (Including the one where he said it was just a version of Blade Runner where the humans are the bad guys(?)) I've never seen a wannabe artiste so desperate to wuss out of including anything with some heft.

Wolfenstein: The New Colossus and Mafia III sorta cover that base nicely for now. Still, what a pussy. But what do you expect from the guy who rereleased one of his games where conspicuously Indian/Asian people suddenly turned white?
Also, that reminds me: Having finished Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, I can safely say that the allegory for racial discrimination the game was going for predictably ended up bad, but was so god-fucking awful and limp wristed, the guy who wrote it should be exiled to one of Saturn's moons.

Another game with lootboxes disgraces my PS4 system. When are these shitstain developers, these subhuman beasts, going to learn that the only way to make a game is to do it "for the fans". Any other way, is wrong.

Is this the lamest piece of gaming-related news ever? Recency bias, but I say yes.
Kojima-san, in the north we have a saying, and it's "nut up or shut up".
