I got an invite to test Age of Empires 4 a couple weeks ago and liked it. While i don't think it will approach the greatness of AOE2 i do believe it will be a very solid game.

That is awesome you got in on the beta. Does it have the home city mechanic of AOE 3?

nintendo got one more chance with this switch online service

i dont mind if theyre putting old nes/snes games that im not really all that invested in on there but dont put what youve just recently put on there because that was pure trash

and if the rumor is true that theyre putting old school gameboy games on there then start off with solar striker and one of the wario games

I wish they would put N64 and Game Cube games on there.

Thankfully NO. That is my biggest complaint about AOE3.

Super cool about Wolverine...hope they go with a M rated theme and seems dark in the trailer so fingers crossed. I missed all this info yesterday getting psyched for our game vs TB (where was the OPI?!!)

Appr these drops my friend!

No problem. I couldn't agree more about Wolverine and the Cowboys game. I missed the PlayStation Showcase as well. I ended up watching it afterwards to take my mind off the game, a game that the Cowboys should've won! Unfortunately I still have the Cowboys game on the brain, but the new trailers did pique my interest. God of War: Ragnarok looks great, Forspoken and Project EVE look interesting, Alan Wake Remastered also looks good, and I can't complain about getting three new Marvel games, especially with Venom arriving in Spider-Man 2 and the previously mentioned Wolverine. I think I brought this up before, but I thoroughly played through X-Men Origins: Wolverine on PlayStation 3, it was the first platinum trophy I ever earned. I'll definitely be watching how Wolverine develops.

Deathloop on PS5 is getting a ton of 10/10 reviews with GOTY hype and just came out today. I'm going to take the plunge, as I always have to. Curse my wallet!!!

The Steam/PC reviews are sitting at around 60% positive, most negative reviews mention horrible performance.

Interesting as the 10/10 Reviews are being as "paid off" like any game is a 10/10 these days anyway.

Also funny as it's hailed as a PS5 exclusive when Microsoft is making money off of every purchase as well because of the Bethesda purchase and its going to Xbox anyways.

Don't care. I'm playing right now on PS5 and it's money well spent. Like my Game Day Authentic Parsons Jersey.

I love a good real life satire video of a video game. There was a funny one floating around for awhile about Call of Duty in real life. Was solid. I never got into turn-based games either, however, (and this is going to sound weird) I did actually enjoy Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle on the Switch for some reason. lol

Me too, real time with pause is so much better.

Deathloop is freaking bonkers. It's like if Dishonored/Bioshock/Cyberpunk2077/Returnal and Souls had a cute little deranged baby all wrapped up in a LSD laced package.

This has me intrigued now.

You really should look into a career as a game reviewer. That kind of article title would get me to click. Love it.
