    So after watching a bunch of videos, and browsing the reddit for it quite a bit I finally caved and purchased The Division 2. I don't hold out high hopes for me ever getting into PvP, but it's the only shooter type game out recently (that I've seen and been interested in) that looks to have any sort of half decent solo play.

    Warframe's a good time, but it needs to come with a disclaimer. There's no real endgame. You can progress to a point where all of the content is trivially easy fairly quickly, and then there's nothing to do but grind mastery forever.

    I like to go back whenever they put out a new story update, but there's no real meat for progression, it's all about grinding out new stuff to bring it to the "I can do everything trivially" level.

    Never really been into Warframe for some reason. I suppose part of the draw for the division2 is the looting. Gives me Borderlands/MMO vibes which I like.

    I may come to regret getting the game, but for now I think it should be a decent time-waster for me.

    Dude made a fantastic VR Ravenclaw common room. Not a full playable game as far as I can tell, but gorgeous and the reviews on reddit are pretty great.

    So, The Outer Worlds is no longer launching on Steam this year. Somehow, Epic got elusive rights to the game for the first year despite it already being advertised on Steam. Was really looking forward to it, but on the other hand, Mario Maker 2 and WoW classic will already be eating up a lot of my 2019 play time.

    Outer Worlds is also launching on the Microsoft Windows 10 store, so if you really don't wanna deal with Epic, you can get it from there.

    Somehow? I know how, $$$ or rather I suppose maybe I should say ¥¥¥.

    Not surprised after the same thing happened with Metro, they really want a slice of that sweet sweet steampie, can't say I blame them... still, at least its not Epic exclusive, because no way in hell am I installing tencent spyware.

    I can wait a year. It'll mean all the bugs should be fixed, dlc added, etc. etc.

    And if the bugs aren't fixed, not a game I'd want to buy anyways.

    It's got Avellone writing, so I'm willing to give this one the benefit of doubt.

    What is weird though is that the devs, Hardsuit Labs, only ever made Blacklight Retribution, a f2p multiplayer FPS. I wonder how exactly they got this job to begin with. Anyone played that game? Was the gameplay any good?

    Also, release date is scheduled for Q1 2020. When are we going to see gameplay?

    Brian Mitsoda is probably more important than anyone else when it comes to the writing - he did a fantastic job on the first game and his interviews leave me hopeful.

    I never played Blacklight, but I've heard nothing but good things about it from the folks who have. I'm reserving judgment on Bloodlines 2, but the developer's got a pretty positive history, so that shouldn't scare anyone off.

    As long as the game is actually finished when it's released, it'll be pretty hard to go wrong with it.

    If the game is of the quality of Vampyr I'll consider it a failure. It needs to be so much better than that. V:TMB was a terrible game in terms of mechanics, but somehow the game was fun and enjoyable. The storyline promised so much.

    This game, if done right, could be a huge hit. I hope it turns out great.

    If the one blemish on the game is gamergaters being triggered over a woman then I'd say it's looking pretty good.

    Associating deepfreeze with gamergate isn't a strawman, the sites about page talks about gamergate and links to 8chan.
