Maybe I'll change my mind if I play Returnal at 120fps with gyro aim on PC 🤣

Edit: Or maybe not. Just realized, there are 6 GOTY nominees in TGA's list, so I'll add it to my list, then 🤷‍♂️

Doesn't have to be 6 games when you're always a fan of doing Top 5. Poor Housemarque just didn't make the cut :LOL:

Returnal didn't even make your Top 5. Ab to decide hogaya 🤷‍♂️

Well, at least I was honest :LOL:

Have never been a fan of roguelikes, and despite Returnal being my favorite game belonging to the subgenre, those elements got in the way of my enjoyment. Having said that, I would've liked to have seen it nominated over some of the other games that have received a game of the year nomination 🤷‍♂️

This would look really funny if Metroid Dread wins 🤣

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
