Am I the only one who thinks that 2020 might be the absolute worse year in gaming? Absolutely no games, the ones who do come out are shit. The only good game I can think of that came this year is a Chinese gacha.

No you're not. I hadn't noticed (because I had shit to do), then I went to nominate games for the Steam awards and realized I haven't played a single game released this year.

El Hijo (not woke - made by Germans who don't appear to virtue-signal) was released the other week, I'm still yet to play it.
Gestalt and Unmetal (a publisher did Fran dirty) were delayed to 2021.
Yakuza 7: probably awesome but I'm still not done with the earlier games.
Carrion: looks interesting but nothing revelatory.
Tsushima is a console exclusive, very sad, many such cases.
Ori 2: I heard the story is trash.

I'm not sure if 2020 can still compare to the stinkers that came out in 2018. Artifact, ATLAS, Fallout 76, Just Cause 4, the list just goes on and on.

It's not the stinkers, it's the lack of good games. 2018 had Kenshi v1.0, Unforeseen Incidents, Ghost of a Tale, La-Mulana 2, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Dusk, Senua, Into the Breach, the Messenger, Frostpunk, Crosscode, Obra Dinn, Darksiders 3, Hero-U, ToME Cults, Ys 8 on PC (took them 2 years to fix it though), Dead Cells (I didn't like it but whatever), Iconoclasts (garbage but you wouldn't know straight away), Pathfinder Kingmaker, Pillars of Eternity 2, Trannytech if you're into that and Heartbeat if you're not.

I start to feel something when the ps5 remote has streaming service buttons on it. Its not like those button would be useful for people who dont use those services anyways. Its a waste of space and ink.

Most new TV remotes have those too. It’s probably impossible to buy a new TV now without at least a few of those obnoxious buttons, and of course you can’t remap them, They‘re printed on there with ink in a day and age where a tiny OLED screen that could display different logos really wouldn’t cost that much more

I figure they must get paid the big bucks to put those on there

The devs overseeing Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition have announced a new DLC despite saying on release there would be no more new civs for the game. It's not a bad thing, obviously, to break a "promise" like that but it's fun watching idiots get confused about being "betrayed" over the dev vision for the game.

What makes it even more hilarious is the amount of complaining about the choice of new civilisations. Burgundians are claimed to be a Franks knock-off by the whiners but in reality they represent the ancestor states to the Netherlands. They also seem to think Sicilians are Italian while ignoring the fact southern Italy (Kingdom of Naples and Sicily) was very different from northern Italy up to 1861 and beyond. In a game about historical civilisations you'd think people would be more intelligent, but alas...
 
Wasn't planning to play Hades but someone gifted it to me and it's fun. It's definitely pandering to the woke crowd or whatever you'd call them but at least that means I get to date Thanatos.

Something I discovered today:

If you have a Nintendo Switch Online account, you can play the Japanese versions of the NES & SNES apps on a foreign account. Just make a new Nintendo account, set the region to Japan, go download the Family Computer & Super Famicom apps, and start them with your regular account. They have a smattering of games the NES & SNES apps didn't get.

There's nothing I noticed that's really worth going out of your way for, but if you just want something new to try, there you go.

It's weird, I played CoD WW2 today and I'm still more impressed by the Normandy beach landing in whichever Medal of Honor it was on ps1. There's no actual meat to the CoD one, while the MoH had me legit breathing hard with my hands shaking because holy fuck.

All new TV controls have branded streaming buttons, even if you get a cable provider and have a cable box they're at least stick a netflix button on the remote.
 
Playing SM64DS to get the Retroachievements. 25 years later the guy who put those bullies in the game is a braindead cunt and I hope he gets hit by a bus.

Manufacturers gets paid to include lots of shit and the head of Vizio said it's not financially viable for them to make a plain TV because the market is savage when it comes to price.
 
Canada was the worst thing to happen to the vg industry, everything is now bland, all the same, diversity check tick box exercises. With nothing to offend anybody anywhere.

and they ruined Mass Effect.
 
Holy shit I love the videogame "Fortnite".

Tonight I got fucking tanked on illegal (under tax legislation, somehow) moonshine. I can barely see. And I decided to try this game.
I'm playing cross-platform with a gamepad and so far every single round I have achieved the "Victory Royale". Out of one hundred people I am consistently the best person even though I don't know most of the controls and don't understand building.
It's like I'm playing against a bunch of children, or something.

It reminds me of the days of wolfpacking with goons back when that website was still B-cluster negative. Except that I'm playing solo and effortlessly wasting 5-man squads. This shit is making me want to join the clergy

I'm so drunk that I'm doing breathing exercises I learned from Reddit to keep my hiccups under conrol yet I keep winning, This game is the embodiment of "how many 7-year-olds could you kill".
