I missed the first MW but the campaign for MW2 was pretty bad imo. Think I hardly bothered with the campaigns for MW3 or BO2. Not sure anyone played it but Titanfall 2 has a great campaign.

The MW2 story just felt like i was being led from cutscene to cutscene with extremely flimsy story connecting them.

'We gotta go find some arms dealer in Rio who used to do business with Makarov. Shoot him in the leg then torture him into telling us "there's some guy Makarov hates that is in a Russian prison, this is his prisoner number". We don't know who this "some guy" is but if Makarov hates him that's good enough to launch a medium-scale assault on this Russian prison to get him out. It turns out it's Captain Price from COD4! (Like what are we doing? The United States has been invaded and we're sending forces all around the world to get a scout sniper.) Then Captain Price jogs onto a nuclear sub and somehow launches an ICBM...'

Aside from MW1 I don't think any CoD ever had much of a story, even the original CoD was pretty mindless WW2 fare after Medal of Honor series. The set piece missions in MW1 and 2 are what it's all about.

Classic Tetris World Championship qualification should be starting round about now with the main tournament tomorrow. Think we get a new winner if anyone wants to take Jonas/Harry against the field?

Cool youtube about stage 4-2 for Mario speedruns

Pretty fascinating and i dont even watch speed runs

Yeah summoning salt is pretty good. Fwiw the record was just recently (in the last couple weeks) broken again and the guy does a walkthrough of it.

Unfortunately he sucks at it

Love it

Final starting soon, Jonas v Joseph, going to be sick, the whole quarter finals onwards has been ridiculous

Having never watched tetris before apart from briefly at GDQ that was amazing.

I'm really hoping Anthem is good, but I'm prepared for it to be bad.

I'm only posting this for anyone that reads this who is a HUGE Undertale fan. If you weren't super into it, this post is not for you and you can stop reading now.


delta rune was released on it's own website for free download. I REALLY don't recommend it for people that didn't like Undertale.


If you're part of the fandom, please take a moment, don't look things up, just download it from the delta run website and play it blind. Again, if you're not part of the fandom and you go to download it because it's free so why not, you're going to play and be like "wtf is this ****?" so you've been warned.

started playing rayman legends again and I have to say this is one of my favorite platformer levels I've ever played.

Even those they've received a lot of praise, I still think the recent Rayman games have been overlooked. I haven't played Legends but played Origins on Wii and it was amazing.

Yeah, I watched my kids play a bit of this, and while I played and enjoyed Undertale but didn't devour it to the point of doing multiple runs, I had no ****ing idea what was happening in this new one.

Reason #2947 why gaming culture is awful: Diablo fans' response towards the announcement of the mobile Diablo game.

Seems like the appropriate response.

I don't see what the problem is ,it's good for blizzard money wise to get on the mobile market.
Any of us who have touched Poe after d3 never came back to d3.
I won't play this game (mostly because last mobile game I played was the snake back in the days on these old nokia phones) but surely the pop that plays mobile games will be happy.
Also I find suspicious anyone hyped about diablo news ,this game has been dead for a very long time.

As much as I'd like to agree with your overarching point, this is the biggest joke of a sellout move, and I completely side with the fans.

That said, I've been saying the whole time that the Blizzard that made D2 is long dead and we shouldn't expect anything good.

The game is going to be a heavily monetized piece of crap but the sense of entitlement that the fans have is ridiculous.

Yeah **** the fans they should be happy they are getting a reskinned mobile clone.

Yeah they should be if that's going to be how they respond to it.

Blizzard owes fans nothing and they in turn can choose not to patronize the company. Fans (seems like mainly gamers and movie/comics people) going into whiny baby mode whenever the company doesn’t deliver what they want is some tired crap. If Blizzard has promised D4 or something for current gen consoles and then not delivered, go ahead and go nuts with your complaints but this one is on fans for being upset that their made-up expectations were not delivered upon. There are a million ****ing games to play get over it.

To be fair I don’t mind people **** posting but fan boys always take it too far.

please play Legends. It's even better.

I think you may be missing context here. If this was a press release, or an E3 announcement even you may be have a point (and the reaction wouldn't be nearly so strong). But in this case, Blizzard absolutely does owe the people they charged $200 entry fees something, along with the people they charged $40 or whatever it was to live stream the event.

Same as if you paid $400 for you and your wife / girlfriend to eat out at a celebrity chef's fancy restaurant - you are owed at the least a decent meal. You probably wouldn't riot if you weren't fed, but I doubt anyone would be calling you an entitled manchild for writing about how let down you feel in a post on the internet.

If you booked a $200 "Monsters of Rock" concert with an amazing lineup, then on the night itself the main headlining band doesn't turn up and instead a poor Justin Beiber tribute band - I think there would be more than a few boos thown in their direction. And again, the music press would be unlikely to call the booing crowd ungrateful children who are owed nothing and shouldn't have bought tickets if they weren't going to be happy whatever was shown.

You are right, Blizzard did not directly promise Diablo 4. But there's a significant range of possibilities between that and an official NetEase reskin. They absolutely did sell this event as a "Diablo Blizzcon", with the it being the show-closing franchise / big reveal - which I suppose it technically was but not in the way anybody wanted. After years with no mentions at all. They had prominent Diablo imagery in the marketing materials, and put out this (in hindsight rather smug) "Multiple projects / It's a great year to be a Diablo fan!" hype video just before releasing the last batch of $200 ticket sales:


Obviously death threats and other extremes are never justified. But asking "Is this a joke?" in a calm voice, booing the stage, disliking a youtube video or making disappointed posts on the internet are perfectly civil means to express displeasure.

The most surprising thing to me though, is the difference in response to Star Wars Battlefront 2 only 1 year ago. Diablo Immortal is way worse, the fan reactions far less vitriolic, and yet many on the sidelines are all like "eww entitled gamers" this time round.
