    Shitballs, didn't realise it is out tonight. Still haven't finished Horizon Zero Dawn which I should probably do before I get it I suppose.

    I realised something that really puts me off about Life is Strange. French writers pretending to be American teenage girls pretending to be cultured. Plus Max is dull but everyone thinks she's the quirky one. Plus I know the whole twist which gets telegraphed minutes in.

    1) I think that disappears by the end of episode 1.
    2) Max isn't considered quirky, she's just generally disliked
    3) What do you think the twist is?

    Institutionalised rape. Because it is. In episode one we have a male wanker teacher (who teaches an exclusively female class) proudly proclaim there's a contest going on where the winner gets to spend time alone with the hipster twat. A student is a drug dealing rapist. Said student is covered up by Principal because his folks bankroll the school. Plus the missing person flyers all over the school.

    Yeah none of that is the twist, that's just basic plot foreshadowing.

    And there's no rape IIRC.

    I'm not even going to be getting it next week because I'm fucking away for five days from Friday.

    So far so good. I've not done much beyond the initial story gibberish but it's fucking dense though. So much loot/gear/systems.

    Combat and mechanics are still great though, as are the orks chatting shit as they walk about/do their wrestling intros

    From what I hear, it gets grindy near the end. Almost like they want to funnel people into buying loot boxes.

    EDIT: Just had the endgame explained to me. Go fuck yourself, Warner Brothers.

    Maybe this will be the exception but literally every time I've ever gone into a game hearing people getting themselves into a froth about microtransactions I've ended up ignoring them and not caring.

    Regardless of whether the end of the game is a cynical, un-fun cash grab or not, however, whichever publication it was that described Shadow of War's ending as PREDATORY wants to have a word with themselves. You can't get through a day without people trying to part idiots from their money but you don't get people having an anger-wank over the fact that WH Smith's are putting on a get-the-second-half-price to make you spend more on paperbacks.

    Making people pay for an easier difficulty level for the final sequence, if that's what they're doing, is pretty shit if they've arbitrarily upped the difficulty to accommodate it. But Bioware removing one of the best characters and story arcs from Mass Effect 3 just so they could sell him to to you, for example, is worse and yet barely an eyelash was batted.

    Yeah, this way you can accomplish beating the game by graft, even if it's somewhat arduous. I'll stress, I've only seen it written down but it looks like a gauntlet. It's been a heavy few weeks for lootboxes with this, Forza and NBA 2K featuring them. In other news, I'll be spending some of this weekend trying to get P.T. back on my PS4.

    EDIT: Downloading. That was easy.

    You can add the new Star Wars game to the loot box furore, and rather than Shadow of Wardor where they seem like a crap way of bypassing part of the game (whilst still being shitty gambling) it is literally pay to win. Them being in Forza is annoying because I was considering getting a racing game and my list of options just got smaller. They better not be in Dirt4.

    You start off pretty underpowered and have to unlock stuff. You can do some stuff like health drains but you don't have an execution move initially, for example

    Back up to 65 on MyCareer. I feel better about my player but still have no idea where I'm supposed to be standing. Years of Point Guarding taught me subconciously whereabouts I was supposed to be but now I'm lost and barely getting the ball. So I just stand where the point guard would normally and it's kind of working.

    So, WWE 2k18.

    I went through NXT and wanted to be a Face but I picked one wrong option when talking to Stephanie McMahon and I've seemingly become her lap dog. I got sent out a few times to jump Seth Rollins to help Samoa Joe (fat wanker) and now Vince was spouting on at me about RUTHLESS AGGRESSION and made me brawl with someone in the back.

    I wanted to be a good guy but I've been sucked into something that I can't undo I'm pure evil.

    AGDQ is miles away but the games list is out. Now, I hope you're sitting down for this:

    This is no Super Metroid.

    https://gamesdonequick.com/submission/games-list

    I was hoping the Burnout Paradise run was the whole thing. Sadly, it's just Big Surf Island. Still, plenty to look forward to and the long await end of the Save / Kill animals spergatory. And Starfox 2. Funny how that sneaked in.

    Are you running in the Daytona 500 with that? Also, @phonics was right. Life is Strange isn't about rape. Well, it's a metaphorical rape of a concept.

    Is it good? Can’t even remember the last wrestling game I played but inexplicably fancy it. It’s about £35 on eBay.

    Early days but I like it.

    I enjoyed 17 a lot but the rankings system was completely broken. I won about 3 or 4 rivalries with Brock who was the champion and 2-3 with everyone ranked just ahead of me but was stuck at 4th in the rankings. I always seemed to be forced into a rivalry just before the Royal Rumble so couldn't even do that.

    Apparently they've fixed that but I haven't played enough to see yet.

    Changed the system a little bit more too, before you'd just be in the main screen and you would have a lot more freedom. They've changed it for the better though and you can't just constantly cut promos/run ins etc so you're not in control from the start. You actually run around (but it looks like your whole body is trying to do the D'Lo Brown head shake with something large lodged in your arse) in the back talking to people. It actually seems more real but they could have done more, it is cool though being able to just jump someone in the back (when able) and starting a backstage fight.

    When I joined RAW I spent the first 3 weeks having to help Samoa Joe rather than do any actual matches.

    I'd say it's worth it but I am a sports game fan boy.

    Hero.

    Also, when you start buying/opening the crates. Buy the bronze ones, only 2.5k but you can make more money by opening them.

    The face thing is appalling.

    It puts your face over a normal face, it's utterly mental.

    I wish I had read Reddit before I did money in the bank.

    Had to do a ladder OMG moment (which is available even if you don't have it) to progress.

    Took ages doing the match and because I didn't do that, the match didn't count.

    Nailed it. I’ve seen better hair but it’s in a crate apparently, so who knows if I’ll ever get it.

    Got a link to that Reddit?

    Just did my third attempt at MITB and Roman Reigns (dickhead) reversed my ladder finisher (one of the objectives) and later Big Show (cock) decided to run into the ring and celebrate on the turnbuckle allowing Roman Reigns to get the briefcase.

    Edit: And done. Thought I fucked it as Zayn was hitting me with the last piece of the ladder wheel (it's an awful system) was remaining. If he hit me off I knew that the next guy would have an easy win. Luckily I kept mashing the button as the wheel was going mental and it went in.

    Just a had a bug whilst playing a tag match.

    I don some fool named Karl Anderson and he starts rolling to indicate he is hurt. I'm guessing he was meant to roll out of the ring to recover but couldn't because Brock was in the way. I tried hitting him on the floor, pinning him, smashing Brock away, tagged in Braun so he could try etc but he wouldn't stop spinning. He just wouldn't stop.

    He was spinning for about 6 minutes (I wasn't going to do the whole video) and then I decided to just smash Brock with a chair to end my nightmare.

    First match that I've lost so I guess his defensive technique worked.

    Evil Within 2 sold a quarter of what the original did and the original massively under performed.

    Ouch. That's Shinji Mikami done for. Shame as I hear the new ones quite good.

    -----------------

    NBA2k update: I've been made a starter and am now scoring points for fun, putting up 18 in my last game. Still got no idea where to stand but I just spam a until I get passed the ball and run in for BIG BEEFY DUNKS. Seems to be working. Also the amount of rebounds you get from being 6'5 instead of 6'2 is just cheating.

    However, the games fucking broken and I can't get into my closet and half the stuff won't load. I understand as the backend of this game must be mind bendingly complex. It's a fucking basketball game that has in-engine cutscenes that then flow into the fucking game with no load time. When you're in the open world, all of those buildings have individual cut-scenes as well. They're all fucking terrible but they're there. I'm amazed the game works at all tbh.

    Shadow of War update: there is so fucking much to do in this game. I've now made it to the bit where I can start building my own army so will spend ages dicking around with that. Up until before that it's just grinding loot to get snazzy capes.

    Capes are nearly as good as hats so that's time well spent.

    Not sure if it’s in. I have some 90s music that sounds like Smashing Pumpkins.

    Mahow gave me some advice. But unless he’s changed his man a lot the invasion (friends’ wrestlers appearing in my career) Just shows a proper simplified version of them.
    I'm a twit

    Might have been my first version of the guy? I've never done the invasion thing so I don't know for sure.

    My intro is banging. Music is classic Sting with 205 live titantron (I wanted something with no names which fit well) and I've got Ultimate Warrior's motion.

    Comes together really well, especially with the added little things too.
