I'm hoping that there will be an evolution to the binary paragon/renegade system for Mass Effect. Tides of Torment: Numenera had a colour coded Tides system that introduced much more nuance to your choices. It's not the same genre of game, but I'm hoping we get more choice!

I haven't seen the Tides of Tornment, but now that I think about it, you are right. A new system would've been much nicer. Especially since all the games usually have 3 different choices of dialogue answers ๐Ÿ˜…

I would have loved to see what that online Transformers game would have looked like. I know it is just the 90s kid in me fanboying, but I love Transformers! Also, AI teammates just feel weird to me. I dunno, if it is an online game you should play with other people, that's what makes it fun!

I mean, the fun part is debatable sometimes, but I agree. It just feels weird for such a popular game to struggle with matchmaking. That's what it sounds like to me at least ๐Ÿคท

Imagine having AI teammates. I can see people falling in love with those too haha. Instead of AI gf/bf, you can have one to game with. But yah, I can see people shitting on the idea instantly with anything involving AI, but this could also be a good thing. Especially for games with a toxic fanbase. Like I know when I play online, I never do voice chat and just hoping people think I'm a guy sorta deal.

I've already heard cases of people falling in love with ChatGPT, so falling in love with an AI bot doesn't sound like a stretch ๐Ÿ˜…

Interestingly, PUBG is not the most toxic community I've ever seen. Dota and LoL is a much more toxic (by a landslide)

Hahahha ever watch the movie Her? So good. And so real now haha.

Iโ€™ve heard good things about PUBG but I never got into it much cuz Iโ€™m not very good at those games haha. But I was part of the LoL community a lot and there was so much harassment. I even broke up with my ex twice over it cuz he got so mean ahaha

Yeah and I can get why. I used to get into huge fights with my best friend over LoL ๐Ÿ˜… Overall the community became exponentially worse as the game got bigger and I don't think it's ever going to get back to the way it was...

Ahahah you too eh? Like idk what it does but it brings out the worst in people haha. Like I just wanted to play the game because itโ€™s fun. But people take it so seriously and thereโ€™s no room to even learn.

Because everybody wants to win and fun sometimes takes a back seat, probably ๐Ÿ˜… At least that was the case for me and my friend

That sounds about right though hahaha.

Thanks for the tribute! ๐Ÿซก So happy that you enjoyed the review!

Arcane S1 got me playing LoL, I'm not falling into that trap again! ๐Ÿ˜† But I AM checking out the new trailers they released. I love the animation, what can I say?

Also, I'm cautiously optimistic about the Helldivers 2 adaptation... I'm usually wary of these video game adaptations but Helldivers might make a fun movie.

I hope the adaptation will have as much humour and action as the game, otherwise it just won't work.

And yeah, LoL is filled with Arcane references right now ๐Ÿ˜…

I'm enjoying Arkane. I might even try LOL as a result...

I'd caution against that...
