    I finally bought an Xbox One, so I'm working my way through the exclusives. Gears of War 4 is particularly frustrating with how it loves to give you a heavy weapon, then immediately takes it away in a cutscene before you get to use it.

    Anyone playing the new Borderlands? If you enjoyed the previous games, you will like this one.

    As long as everyone has a mobile phone, it should be all good.

    Yes, they are. And they've already started crying about receiving 'threats' on the internet.

    At this point I don't give a fuck about internet threats anymore. Too many douchebags have tried to use it as a way to gain the moral high ground, and I'm sick of it. Some random jackass on the internet threatening you is borderline meaningless. When are these ever carried out? That aside, even if the threat is credible, you're still an asshat. It doesn't change what you already did.

    Also, what Blizzard did pissed me off to the point I won't buy any of their products for a long time. This is the first time a company has actually managed to make me do that. Usually I couldn't give less of a shit about e-drama around corporations, but they've fucked up so many times in the last couple years and this most recent one was over the line for me.

    The running theory is that they’re rushing both Diablo 4 and Warcraft 3 Reforged trailers to distract everyone at the event.

    @Nettdata know anyone in the VR space thats played Half-Life: Alyx yet? Deciding whether its worth it to get some VR stuff to play it.

    And has anyone checked out Doom Eternal?

    Have you guys heard about this God of War? It's really neat! (sorry, I'm consistently a few years behind on video games due to kids, so I'm just now getting around to this, but I do like to follow this thread to see what games I should be checking out in 2022)

    I just started Doom last night. Loving it!

    Only heard good things about Alyx so far but nothing first hand.

    Looking at the minimum spec requirements, mine barely meet it. So Ill probably wait until I upgrade my rig at some point, but glad its as good as the previous one.
