Nah it's just that people know more about World War Two than they do World War One. It was bigger.

People know more about original Star Wars because the prequels sucked.

If World War 2 sucked then people would know more about World War One.

Lord

Glad World War 2 did not suck.

World World 1 was complete garbage though.

Maybe they should have written a note in WWI expressing their disdain for the oppositions actions.

Oh wow

In my history classes in middle & high school, as such classes tend to go, we didn't keep up with the pace the teacher originally wanted us to. So WW2 was always something that was skimmed over, if it was covered at all. I learned way more about WW1 in school than I did about WW2.

Am I the only one here who experienced this?

Horizon Zero Dawn got a trailer. Delayed until Feb 27th 2017

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u4-FCsiF5x4

Pls read my gifs (and pretend it says 1 week instead of 2 weeks).

Yeah sorry. Hit all my usual gaming sites and like 10 trailers went up today. And I was like "The hell? E3 happening now?!"

So, of my 3 games that caught my attention from last year's E3 and immediately preordered:

Horizon: Zero Dawn - Gotta wait 'til next year. :mad:

Dishonored 2: This November. :D

Ghost Recon: Wildlands - Unknown. But pre-order bonuses recently revealed. :-\

Jay Wilson fucked up pretty bad, and handled it poorly at that. Still think the toxicity of the gaming community, esp. Blizzard fanboys, are ridiculous with the threats and what not.

Hope Ubisoft learned their lesson from the first Watch Dogs. Concept was great, story/plot was really bad.

Kotaku will live on. Ethical gaffs aside the real issue was the main Gawker page. Deadspin similarly is worth keeping.

Battleborn is saved!

By saved you mean loading up a shotgun for the limping horse.

Damn, Overwatch's reveal was like... their armageddon.

Being overshadowed is one thing, but Battleborn just...... it feels clunky and not fun. Seemed like it could have been okay in the Beta, but it just missed the mark for me entirely.

I had a bit of time to try Battleborn when it had an open beta.

I tried out a single player mission, had a difficult time getting through it. I was fighting the final boss and hit the time limit (I think it was 65 minutes), ending the mission in failure.

That didn't really give me any desire to try again.

jesus, what was it like before all the delays

Well, unless Inafune was lying (quite possible), the last 2 delays were for online modes.

I'd put more blame on activision not giving them a lot of time.

Today's News:
1) During an interview with Game Informer, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto revealed Monolith Soft, Xenoblade series developer, is currently helping develop Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

How in all the fucks in the world could No Man's Sky be infringing on Sky TV?

So fucking angry right now

Like, that is the stupidest thing I've heard in at least six months

Fuck is wrong with this world?

The fact that it took 3 years to resolve as opposed to 5 seconds, just fans the rage flams within me.

agffsgsjjksjsjxyekenx

Sony trying to trademark or copyright "Let's Play" might be dumber.

Then again seems like every while a pretty dumb trademark dispute occurs like "Ghost" between Ubisoft and EA or "Candy" with mobile developers or even the "Scrolls" thing between Bethesda And Mojang.

The launch stream for Mighty No. 9 turned into a post-mortem. Jesus.

Inafune says that 60% of the budget went into the game, the rest on fees and backer rewards.
Their mistake was doing 10 versions of the game at once. They didn't make a version and then port it, they made 10 different versions for all formats.

http://i.imgur.com/VByaRGO.png

Actual quote from Inafune: "At the end of the day, even if [Mighty No. 9] is not perfect, it's better than nothing"

Then they went to play the game on the stream and it crashed!

What an amazing day.

I gave my code away, I didn't want waste my time on it after the demo. This is great too.

6) Update to Vivendi's attempted ownership takeover of Ubisoft news as Vivendi managed to increase their minority ownership of Ubisoft to around 20.1% recently. According to French laws, once Vivendi gets to 30%, they will be required to make an official offer to become the new majority owner.
https://www.destructoid.com/vivendi-...t-370073.phtml

Going to redeem my Mighty No. 9 code now and see for myself just how much of a Mighty No. 2 Inafune has done all over Mega Man's corpse.

My code doesn't even work so we're off to a good start.

The art direction seems a little less gritty and a bit more painterly. I can dig it. Looks awesome. Personally I think Dead Rising 3 is the best game on XB1.

Mighty No 5040 went in hard to Inafune in the Mighty No. 9 credits.

Happy 25th birthday, Sonic the Hedgehog.

Got to wait till Dec of 2017 to get Dead Rising 4 on PS4...worth it

Ah the joys of owning all the consoles.

Kinda wish they would have given an extra year to DR4 though. Not because it isn't ready but because imagine what they could have done with the power of the Scorpio.

DR4 is one of those games that would benefit so much from all that extra power. It would have been an amazing launch title for Scorpio.

It's Capcom, they'll likely just up the resolution and call it a day. It's coming for PC though, so we'll be able to see how Scorpio could have done it.

Whoa, did not know there was a Civ 6 coming out. Heck ya.

The Friday the 13th game seems like a great idea and "why haven't they made it a next gen game yet?" but it seems like it's a 1 trick pony. I'm guessing we'll end up getting Halloween and Elm Street games eventually too

I wonder if Destiny will finally incorporate some sort or a RAID MATCHINGMAKING SYSTEM? for Rise of Iron?!

Oh, and ditch the weapon infusion bullshit. Bring back weapon rolling.

Re-Rolling kinda killed weapon balance when optimum rolls became prominent. Certain perks were indefinitely nerfed or removed altogether in response to the re-roll days. We can't have that return.

Raid matchmaking would be fucking great. It is the one aspect of the game I haven't tackled yet, mainly due to no one else being on when I play(ed).
