AFAIK they're not releasing it on any platforms besides PS4. Plus, you can find pretty much every story and dialogue option possible on YouTube.

You aren't missing much. It tries to say something but the best it can do is ape other, better, works and at it's worst it's laughably offensive.

I can agree on the political aspects though. ''Slavery''? C'mon.
But I like robots so much and nothing will change that.

It was made for you to agree with it, I really didn't find it that challenging.

Played the Deathgarden free demo. It's a lot like Dead By Daylight. You know, if DBD was a generic FPS with no personality and nothing fun about it.

Forbes accidentally confirmed Diablo III was going to be on the switch. So there's news for all you switch folks. I tried playing it a bit when travelling to and from America, handhelds just are not my thing. I prefer sitting in front of a bigger screen.

I tend to like handhelds, because I can bring 'em with me, although I've never thought the screen on my GBA was terribly small.

I’m like 60 hours into the Witcher 3 and so far the moral of the story seems to be “don’t trust elves unless they’re cross dressers or make dumplings”. Utterly fantastic game though. I’m never going to be able to play other RPGs without thinking, “wow, the Witcher did this a lot better”.

I played the first Witcher for a few hours and the combat felt weird and I never went back to it. At least I think that's what it was, it was years ago.

Played that game more for the sake of saying I finished it, none of the games have any real bearing on the others though so that was kinda annoying.

So I started playing Watch_Dogs 2. It’s pretty good. Better than the first one. The pedestrian AI is basically the best part, where you can watch them beat each other up or call death squads on them for the fuck of it. It’s entertaining. If the main characters didn’t act like they just came off of reddit then I’d probably enjoy the story more but there’s not really much of a story at all, which I’m relatively ok with.

Word of advice: If you're thinking you're going to try and pacifist run and try to stealth around and use nonlethal weapons, don't. It's a catastrophic pain in the ass and there is literally zero benefit for being the dorky yet heroic resistance group fighting against Big Data like the story pretends you are instead of homicidal sadists that actually get the fucking job done.

Eh... I like being non lethal when games give me the option to do so. But only really in regards to cops and security guards. Gang members I’m fine with gunning down. ‘Sides, the taser is pretty easy to use and kinda OP. But yeah, the story is pretty retarded when it’s like “oh we need good publicity” while meanwhile you can freely run over everyone on your way to bomb a building or some shit.
