Guys, Undertale is really good.

What's wrong with it? It's a big game, bugs are to be expected.

Mind, that does remind me - games being released that are literally unplayable or have horrendous loading times.

But there have been plenty of big, open-world games that have been released in the last 5 years without nearly the amount of problems that Fallout 4 has. I'm not just talking about the repeated crashes to desktop/quest NPCs falling through the world/save files corrupting. It's the little things that just haven't been sorted in the 7 years since the last game (and further back if you want to include Oblivion), the animations being SO stilted, objects and people just floating 2 feet of the ground, NPCs pushing you out of conversations. Don't get me wrong, it's got to the point where I find them hilarious and I'm still really enjoying the game, but there's nowhere near the amount of bugs in most other open world games. It just looks and feels dated in numerous ways.  

Bethesda's game engine. 

Finished the game last weekend...

Fantastic gameplay. Dogshit story and ending.

This game is really good. What the fuck was I worrying about?

I'm really apprehensive about this, it seems to take one step too far away from the Metal Geary-ness I loved about the first 4 games. I think I'm going to love this as a gameplay experience, but as a story-driven experience (which is what I go to Metal Gear for) I really think it's going to be lacking for me.. 

It's easy for companies to claim that they care about their fans, and that the executives listen. But Iwata really did listen, and he really did care about Nintendo fans. He personalised his messages (whether Press Conferences or Nintendo Directs) in a way that made him, and in turn Nintendo, come across as a bunch of passionate people working on fun stuff. Man, he was really great for the industry and a really great guy. Will be sorely missed. 

That's crazy - am I right in thinking this is actually the second massive patch doubling content? So it's not only 10x bigger than it originally was, it's now 10x bigger than that?

I got 50 hours out of the vanilla version of that game, jeez.

They've added some new bosses. And a new difficulty which basically changes everything in the existing game. Eh, you know what? Here's a video - there's loads.

Terraria has had a HUGE update released for it, essentially doubling its content. It is free. The game itself is also 25% off at the moment, you should probably get it if you haven't yet.

Honestly took a while to grab me; it was The Bloody Baron questline that did it and now I can't wait to play it every evening.

This continues to be the best/worst.

That was the best/worst thing

I want to play strategie games with that.

This is going to be huuuuuuge for RTS games.

Not to mention Sim City-esque games.

Ok this is blowing me all the way out of my fucking mind right now.

Hint for future - if you want to show a playable demo, don't show a climbing sequence.

Why is this bit happening. You were doing so well.

Fuck - I'm going to get an Xbox One aren't I?

Well, that's fucking huge. There has to be a caveat, or limited games available for it?

Ahh - not all titles.

Todd Howard is a fucking bossman of press conferences. He seemed so natural up there.

Watching it again, the colour saturation makes the world feel a little Bioshock Infinitey. Which is a bit strange.

Pretty happy that this seems to be set mainly in a dense urban environment, also HYPE.

This game is outstanding so far, it just feels far beyond anything that's come before it.

Installing this for when I get home. Awfully tempted to finish Witcher 2 before I start it, even though I know it isn't necessary. I haven't been this excited about a game since Fallout 3.

Quite a few to pick from here, but I must say Persona 4; best cast of characters seen in video games.

It's a very, very good game. But it is harsh in most senses of the word, quite a crushing atmosphere in that game.
