Currently I am playing a lot of Ki No Kuni 2. I got the zepplin last night, so I have complete freedom to the gameworld and i'm not sure what to do now before I continue with the main story.

I enjoyed it. Will there be a Titanfall 3?

I didn't even know this game had a PC port

Sadly the sequel was only ever on PlayStation 2.

I think i'll be able to finish Ki No Kuni II this week but I can't decide how much I want to bother with the kingdom building part in post game.

Never mind about my previous post about finishing Ki No Kuni 2. This kingdom building feature sucks and it's lame as hell that you have to do it in order to progress the story. It's a lame attempt to force you to do side quests and grind.

Hellgate: London was the king of incongruous lovely minigames. I think it had a shmup, a turret section and an RTS all within a few hours of each other and the were all terrible. And I actually liked the game in general.

I remember all of this now! That game was so loving horrible. I remember there was one final update that was planned to be released that made the game way better, but then the dev studio shut down so it never saw the light of day.

It's very sad when games with some kind of thematic arc manage to completely break games journalists' brains

Because they are not real journalists. These opinion pieces are just brain stormed in a team meeting room and handed out randomly to their writers and they are told to try their best to write some words. It's pure clickbait for views that in turn generate revenue.

What is also cool about Fortnite is that it's one of those rare cross platform games. All players from PC, PS4, Xbox, and mobile play together in the same games.

I want an XBOX for the back compat but I'll probably wait another 4 years for 4K TVs to get cheaper

This might be a good plan. Get a 4K TV with real good HDR, those TVs currently are quite expensive. Don't make the mistake I made and get a cheap HDR TV. This is what I bought because I didnt know better https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072FN2B2N/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's a great 4K TV, but the HDR is only 8bit and quite weak overall. You want something with dolby digital HDR.

Few have truly dark rooms which is definitely what you want for a projector, on top of all the setup they require in terms of a surface to project on, a place where the projector can go without being obstructed, stuff like that. But at least for 1080p units you can get decent ones for not that much, and they're the only modern option for 3D if you still want to do that, but then you also have to import movies from Europe if you're in North America because most studios stopped bothering with NA releases.

The real upgrade is in HDR. Which not a lot of content supports, but the games and movies that do support it look pretty beautiful. It's a night and day difference over normal 1080p or normal native 4K.

And then UHD Blu-ray's have the whole issue of typically being simpler in nature at this stage (e.g. in a few cases they'll only have a single version of a movie while the Blu-ray will have them all).

With the really messy availability of UHD Blu-ray I think I'm just going to get a 4K Apple TV since I have an extensive library of stuff from years of digital codes and beefy enough internet for it, and those by default give me the SDR versions as well.

I had decided a few years ago that I wanted to go with Amazon digital for my video library. They have yet to upgrade to 4K video which is frustrating because I prefer digital movies over physical, but I already have a large Amazon library and I feel like switching over to another service such as Apple for buying movies would be annoying.

APB, the dead game you didn't realise still existed but was also dying a slow slow death has once again been dragged out of the doldrums of condemnation by another brave, brave publisher. They're hoping to finish the fabled engine upgrade to Unreal 4 and give it a bunch new content and so on.

Yes the game sucked but it was also real fun and had some great moments and the customization is still some of the best in gaming. Let's see if APB's third chance pays off.

Everyone is better off just playing Grand Theft Auto Online. APB is a poor imitation of that game even though it came out first. I remember when APB first launched and goons flipped their poo poo over how terrible it was though lol.
