2017 most-played games so far, in descending order:

Cities Skylines
Metal Slug 3

New Year. New video games. Yeah. FR*CK yeah.

I'm willing to bet the next Wolfenstein will be announced by Bethesda around May/E3 considering the hidden teaser last year. Bring it. :unsmigghh:

New Quake will break the quality streak but New Wolfenstein II will make it okay and a New Doom II trailer showing a Hell On Earth where the Doomslayer still doesn't give a gently caress about the lore will make everyone forget New Bad Quake even happened.

HEY EVERYBODY SEEING THIS MESSAGE WHEN THEY SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE

2016 was a rough time, and honestly, not gonna sugar coat this, we're probably in for some stormy weather ahead, but I assure you that together we'll make it through and that if we stay strong and keep true, that we'll make it out of this fine and dandy. Things are gonna be bumpy, there are gonna be times where life is gonna feel really poo poo and you're potentially going to ask yourself "how did I get here?" but despite that, I promise you, everything will get better in the end.


Stay strong and fly true, friends.

Actually it's Persona 5 with Nier being a close second.

Meanwhile, the Switch will be like every Nintendo console since they no longer held a monopoly on the market and the new Zelda will be good but also be full of open world concepts that feel at least 10 years out of date.

Also you forgot that it's being written by a mad man that hates his audience and is incapable of not writing the most depressing poo poo that's depressing in a weird way that fucks you up extra hard. I am am really looking forward to Nier 2 but good god do I hope I don't have to spend 2+ hours in a instafail rhythm game to get the real ending.

Once I pried myself out of Civ V, I tested Hitman tonight too - the new one, via the intro pack - and oh no. It's good. I was expecting my reaction to it to be like how it was for Blood Money - abject disgust and boredom.

Instead, nope, it's sleek and modern and actually engaging and.... shoot. My to-play list hasn't gone down at all, and instead I get to put the rest of the game on my wishlist instead. My budget for the sale's up, though, so it'll have to wait for summer or something.
