HumbleBundle is offering 30% of Shadow of War until launch tomorrow if anyone's feeling foolish...

This may be a one off code, not sure:


(I'm saving to buy LA Noire and Fallout 4 for the 2nd time... can't be messing about with this )

The more I see of Shadow of War, the less I like the look of it.

Then again, I'm grinding my light level as we speak in preparation for the Destiny 2 Leviathan raid, so my taste in games is probably a bit suspect.

The expansion of the Nemesis system sounds pretty sweet to be honest, including strength/weakness parameters and options for the orcs that sound like they should expand gameplay options.

That said, it is still kinda Arkham

(If I wasn't lost in VR land I would totally be jumping on it though. A 'responsive' open world game is a rare thing.)

Can you do this in Shadow of War?



No you fleckin' can't!

Destiny 2 might well be the greatest piece of entertainment ever created...

I'm on my phone, but I'm going to guess that's a man spinning on his head...

Certainly not! It's emergent gameplay in a co-op stylee!

If it's anything like the first Destiny, then I don't see how you can come to that conclusion.

Well, y'see there are opinions, differing tastes, attempts at humour, more opinions, the best feeling shooter I've ever played on a console (just about beating the first game) and opinions. And if you watched the video, 4 complete strangers who are likely to never meet up in the game again ... bonding.

Bonding over dance and exotic loot.

Hey Taccy! Sorry I missed you yesterday. I had wandered off from my PC after playing Shadowrun for hours on end.

No worries Mike. Those videos are great, by the way, and a new one got released this morning.



The passion that the CDPR guys have is a thing to behold. I hope that never leaves them.

There's already been a game with bonding, dancing, and exotic loot. It's a little old game called World of Warcraft.

Which is basically what Destiny is - WOW without the subscription... with Diablo's loot system. More than one game can do that.

I was a huge sceptic at first and didn't buy the game until well after release. After a few hours I was thinking to myself, "There are other things I should be doing, but this feels so good."

Yeah I guess so, I was just giving you a hard time because you were putting down Shadow of War, which is a game I'm really hyped for and just got today!

I enjoyed the first game and no doubt will pick Shadow of War up at some stage, but it's not something I'm falling over myself to play. I know I'm parroting something that the entire internet has already said a billion times, but the Nemesis system is a really neat thing.

Haven't played PUBG in a month and on my first game back this morning, this happened:



I should stay away more often.

Every door in the house was open, apart from the bathroom's. I killed a dude through the window and went inside to heal up before the final push ... then got shot in the back of the head by a guy hiding in the bathroom with a shotgun.

This game makes you feel both skilled and stupid at the same time. And scared.

I love it!

Justified.

I had seen that yesterday and thought you two should be penpals.

I thought about reaching out to Carpenter to send in a list for the Video Games countdown (he regularly sends in GOTY lists to Giant Bomb) but decided against it/totally forgot.

Anyway, maybe this will be the reason I don't sell my Switch:



It looks pitch perfect, and is from the guy behind Dust: An Elysian Tail.

Please tell me somebody played this.

Finally finished ROTTR. Only died about 50 times fighting Konstantin. Well, it's over now. Time for some exploring...
