Nope. They're still making the exact same device because people keep buying them.

THE GIRLS! ........ oh, how sexist ........

Yep, they might have to call on someone who knows what they are doing .......

...... get over yourself.

I could go on and on about my love for TW3. Absolutely amazing game, with a crazy good story and a beautiful world. But, after putting about 500 hours into it, I need a bit of break. I play it every now and then since starting a new game the last time I was home. After reading (well, listening) to the Witcher books, I know how the game should end. Ciri is the empress, Geralt settles down with Triss, Yennefer advises Ciri and the Lodge is reborn.

The big killer is that I want to play Destiny 2, but of course, none of my friends have weekdays off, so alas, I must wait until the evenings/weekends.

Edit: I ordered an Nvidia Shield TV on black friday, but it was delivered to my parent's place, so I'll be picking that up on Sunday. Going to be great being able to stream games from my computer to the TV, since I find couch gaming to be a bit more enjoyable than sitting in a computer chair. Also ordered NHL 18, so that'll be a sweet way to take a break from some of the more serious games I'm playing right now.

I will say that I'm not finding interest in most games being released, as they dont seem to be fun to me like Skyrim and the like used to be.

And destiny 2 is like its predicessor, only in looks and gameplay. The rest is pretty different, for better or worse is up to the gamer, but for me it got worse. I liked the grind, to come back to it after a year or so and still have things to work for. Nothing like that in Destiny 2 in its current form.

I continue to go back to a few games I've played previous (FO3 and NV are on the list, will probably buy them when they go on sale again and then mod the crap out of them with current gen textures and whatnot) because I'm in the same boat as you. Nothing, outside of D2 have I even remotely cared about. Have bought a couple new releases, and I just don't care for them. The last actually great game that I bought was The Witcher 3.

Having a blast in the newest Assassins Creed.
That year off really helped.

Took me 70-80 hours to do all the missions in the game. Alot of the side quests are really good too. Sometimes better than the story.
I still haven't discovered everything on the map....

I just have a disgustingly deep seated hatred for Ubisoft, outside of Rainbow Six Siege.

[Ultramaroon]

wow, that's a lot.

Understand EA.

But why T10?

:Incoming Rant:


It's like EA and Ubisoft teamed up to make Forza 7.
Bugs/Crashes galore.

Forcing us to pay for car parts to homologate them into a particular series without an option to buy just the car with factory parts.
I've easily wasted a few million on parts I will never use in my builds.

They locked nearly 15% (100 out of 700) of the promised cars "Available" at launch are locked with no way of getting them until T10 decides to put them up for sale in the specialty dealer (Like GT's used car dealer) or make them prizes for special events.
Even worse is the fact that most of them are generic cars like the S14.

On top of that they say you can get these locked cars by beating career mode, or in the loot boxes. As of now you cant pay cash for them, but T10 already confirmed that is the plan in the future.

Big problem I have with the above paragraph is that finishing career mode doesn't unlock the cars, and NONE of the locked cars are in the loot boxes even though it says so in game.

What I think happened was they planned to charge cash for the loot boxes in the future and was never planing on anyone figuring out the locked cars weren't in them.

But because of a glitch a very large number of people got tons of money which allowed us to buy a fk ton of loot boxes and we now know T10 lied out their ass about it.

TLDR: Game was/is buggy broken.
T10 are greedy lying a-holes.

:End Rant:

The fact that I had the glitch happen to me thus allowing me to own nearly every car and have a buttload of cash is probably the only reason I haven't stopped playing it.

The big joke with me and my friends is how bug free AC has been compared to this abortion.

The same EA that outsourced everything to India and Romania? LMFAO!

I knew at least two people that worked for them at one point of their job lives (Vancity and Montreal), neither miss the company after getting laidoff.

The only game from EA that was any good imo was NFS1. That's because the entire dev team came from Accolade that worked on Test Drive.
