Good it’s on gamepass after release so you can test it out until it eventually leaves.

I’m not getting my hopes up for Rainbow Six after Without Remorse. Everything except the title and Character name has been changed and it turned into a generic action flick.

I concur. Hitman can be a somewhat true stealth game but the design steers you away from “free form” stealth with its mission stories. I like the idea but the puzzles are too small, few short steps to the goal.

I hope for Metal Gear Delta to succeed, not only because I have a soft spot for MGS3 but also to revive the genre.

That’s what ‘gaming’ sounds like: your hobby is media consumption.

It’s really weird that people who have “reading books” as their main hobby are not as stigmatized as their digital media counterparts. Is it the digital aspect that turns the hobby into weirdness?

I wouldn’t rate L.A. Noire too highly, as it’s a weird hybrid between detective game and GTA.

What rubbed me the wrong way was the illusion of choice in side quests (roadside police work) where it seems like it’s always the worst possible outcome. The story, especially the choices my character made (without me having a say in it), wasn’t to my taste either.

r/witcher has gone dark until further notice as well. Granted, most of the content was stones with holes in it and moaning about the Netflix show, so nothing of value was really lost.
