      We have watched many great videos and opinions about a game you use to love back in the day. Though grinding in this game is never ending chore to strive to get the best gear we still love this game. Even though the developers of this game keep stacking crap on us to make it extremely difficult since day one. It would be awesome to have you weigh in on what is going on today with the Division 2. The developers want to make seasonal characters and just want to use the same playbook as Diablo 4. I personally would have them better say that they will no longer support or make new content because they are working on Division 3 than to be butchered and punished for no reason. SkillUp we the Division community need you. I hope you can weigh in on this issue. My apologies that we are asking for help on this new video. Thank you 🙏

      Cowardly to not make light of IGN harrassing the Wukong devs with false allegations. Not surprised you don't want to ruffle feathers but if you're gonna call out scumbags like Bobby when he did stuff wrong, you should absolutely do the same for a company who try to smear another company's name through lies.

      I STILL remember one of Nintendo's heads making a TH-cam video apologizing to the Metroid fans. Begging our pardon because they had to scrap Prime 4 because it wasn't shaping up to meet their standards, asking for our patience as they restarted from scratch, now working with Retro who originally helped them with the trilogy.
      From that brief clip of actual gameplay, I'm still excited. I love that they wanted the game to be a good one, even if that meant starting over. I personally hope it's more like Echos than Corruption, but I'll take anything Prime now with a grateful smile.

    For those who don't know, the reason Capcom haven't been putting a lot of their older stuff/collections on XBox is down to the engine they used for these games, the MT Framework engine. They stopped supporting it on XBox a while back, presumably due to a poor cost-return equation, and I believe they instead switched to... well, the Switch instead. Any games that use the RE Engine is easier to put on XBox, but not stuff based on that MT Framework one.

    You can ABSOLUTELY judge something based on the quality of its writing. The first chapter of a book will usually give a good indication if the author is actually a good writer or not, the nature of the tone and whether it will jive with you or not. While it may not necessarily give indication of where the plot is going, it is usually a good indication of its overall quality.

If you're tired of it, imagine how people working in games feel about the constant uncertainty as well as those whose lives have been affected by layoffs.

    I feel like nintendo really anticipated having to transition to new hardware. The transition to the Wii U may have been one of the most important reasons the console flopped so hard, there were no games for years because developers weren't used to HD so game either took longer to develop or straight up released incomplete like Mario tennis ultra smash. With the switch I feel like nintendo is using these last 2 years to keep fans happy with smaller games and remakes while also giving time to developers to get used to the new amount of detail the new hardware demands.

I don't think this game is going to be game of the year as it looks like they're hewing pretty close to Inquisition tone/visuals but that doesn't mean it is going to be a bad game. They also stated that they cut out portions of that first level to keep spoilers to a minimum which means we only got to see stuff that had either no context or talked about the last game. So we haven't really even seen the intro sequence. I'll hold my verdict until we get to see more gameplay with actual skills as very few games look fun or engaging when most of what you see in action is the default attack animation on repeat.
