Actually, Skyrim and Final Fantasy have no connection to D&D which has it's own games connecting to it such as Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter. Need for Speed started out as it's own, new IP developed by EA themselves before Criterion Games, the developers of Burnout took over in 2010. So, at least modern NFS games, owe their existence to Burnout more than anything else. Devil May Cry has no connection to Castlevania. DMC was Capcom, whereas Castlevania was Komani. DMC actually started out in development as a Resident Evil game, but the developers realized that where they going and wanted to go was to far off what Resident Evil was about, so released the game as a new IP instead. So it was Resident Evil that gave birth to DMC, not Castlevania.

You have my sympathys over this situation, but I fear you're seeking answers from the wrong place. This isn't a support forum for people with dept problems or issues with gambling, so the only advice we can offer is from whatever personal experiences any of us may have have, we can't offer expert help. I've found a couple of websites that might help. First there's a dept management charity Stepchange and advise on problem gambling from BeGambleAware. The first step though is don't panic, there is support available.

This is as out of touch and stupid as I have ever seen. We live in a word that is less than ideal for members of the LGBTQIA+ community with so many countries, cooperations and people threatening their safety, livelihoods, rights and even thier very existence every day. However, whilst protecting thier rights and standing up for that community is something we should all do all year round, extra emphasis is put on these issues every June for Pride Month. This is the month people, politics and companies put LGBTQIA+ relatable issues more in the spotlight and celebrate queer people and the progress we have made as a society. It isn't much, but it's still a good thing and a tradition well worth maintaining. There are problems with it, though, mostly in relation to cooperations who use pride to peddle rainbow coloured nik nacks and worthless, soulless junk. Most cooperations can at least take pride (no pun intended) in the fact that they cannot possibly be worse than Warner Brothers this year because of what has to be the dumbest, most insensitive and out of touch gimmicks I have ever seen. In "celebration" of pride month, they hosted an event on thier Injustice 2 mobile game called Love Conquers All, an ironic title as you'll see in a few moments. The idea was to beat up Poison Ivy, a cannoned bisexual character, as much and as often as possible. I kid you not. As aforementioned, members of the LGBTQIA+ community face violence every day just for being who that are, so why WB thought this was a good idea is beyond comprehension. They could have hosted an event where playing as Poison Ivy offers extra themed rewards, LGBTQIA+ themed skins, anything would have been better than this. Maybe we shouldn't be that surprised as WB are happy to line the pockets of infamous transphobe JK Rowling for the Harry Potter license, or maybe this was just one incredibly dumb idea. As you could imagine, the backlash was swift and merciless, forcing WB to take down the event and apologize. Full story here; https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/injustice-2-mobile-dev-apologises-for-misguided-pride-event-2957814 This is actually amazing. It goes beyond belief. Before anyone says it, this is not "SJWs" trying to cancel WB or anything like that, WB fully deserved this backlash. What they should have done, but clearly didn't, is bringing in somebody from the LGBTQIA+ to consult with them on this. Let's just hope WB and other cooperations learn from this.

Fuck them. They're nothing but a deliberate annoyance. OK, they're not nearly as predatory or harmful as lootboxes and microtransactions in general, but they are used as a tool to drive people to microtransactions, so they are a cog in that machine. That, however, applies to FTP games. If the game is not FTP, especially a premium AAA title, then there is no excuse whatsoever. I hate Sky TV for having adds in there programs when you have to buy the service to begin with, so fuck any game that does the same thing. Netflix doesn't do this shit nor does Amazon Prime Video. Spotify and YouTube remove ads when you pay permium, same story with game streaming services live Xbox Game Pass and PS Now. For FTP, I can tolerate it, even though it's still used as a tool to draw people into spending, and that's disgusting. However, I double dare anyone to try and defend this practice on Pay-to-Play games or game you play through a subscription.

Did you even read what I said? When people stand up against bigotry they are not implying that minorities are less capable, that is ridiculous. What your saying is that l and others here speaking out against racism are, in fact, the actual racists. I'd tread carefully if I were you with such false accusations. It's not about laws either, it's about how systems of society has embedded these attitudes. It is very easy to act within the law and still blatantly discriminate. Still, examples of bigoted laws do exist and people have already posted examples, like the infamous Apartheid regime that ruled South Africa for decades. ICE in America who still keep parents and children desperate and fail to provide basic need and force detainees to live in squalor. Republicans in America are trying to pass laws with the purpose of making more difficult for minorities to vote. And since you brought it, and it was you that brought it up, not me, the rights of same sex marriages as well as adoptions get pissed on all the time. Transgender rights are all but nonexistent, even among "civilised" and "liberal" societies. I could go on, but because you're living in your bubble where none if this is real because it doesn't happen to you personally, there's no point on trying to enlighten you on this. People can (and have) provided examples and facts numerous times, but you just choose to ignore them when those facts contradict your view. However, I will ask you to not imply that I nor anyone else on these forums are racists again.

@m76 What is it with you and this ridiculous theory that it's bigotry to stand up against bigotry? Standing up for a minorities rights does not imply they are less capable. What it means the system is unfair as it's systemically bigoted and doesn't offer everyone equal rights because race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation and so on. This idea you have is a way to try and turn the tables and make out that the people call-out out this bullshit into the bigots and that is ludicrous.

Honestly, and with all due respect to @HolisticStorm, I'd rather live in world where this ridiculous definition didn't exist at all. And I'm not just referring to gaming. Gaming is a hobby, but it's not like all hobbies. With hobbies like fishing or golf, people who take it more seriously are warrant of some extra respect because they have useful knowledge to impart that can only come from experience. Playing video games is pure entertainment, so it just doesn't matter if you're doing for one, three, six, twelve or even more in a day, because someone who dose can't impart knowledge that will help anyone enjoy gaming any more than the already do. Not to mention how little good the "hardcore" it will do them to boast about it in the real world. I'm oversimplifying it, I know, you quite obviously can learn a hell of a lot of genuinely helpful knowledge from other gamers (otherwise forums like this would have little reason to exist), but that's in reference to stuff like tips, guides, technical troubleshooting etc. What no gamer can teach, no matter how "hardcore" they are, is how to love it more. My aforementioned examples of fishing and golf would be properly shit without knowing what your doing. At least some guidance is necessary, but in gaming how much you enjoy it is defined buy how you feel about that specific game, not gaming itself. A "movie expert" can't teach someone how to love watching movies more, if anything there more likely to ruin it, and it's the same with games. And before anyone says it, recommending games is a different thing. That's still in reference to specifics within the hobby, not advice to enjoy the hobby itself. The only time I would offer a genuine exception would be on professional gaming (e-sports), because that's a sport. Like any sport that also just happens to exist as a hobby, that is 100% competitive and being the best is all that matters. Anywhere else, the difference between "hardcore" and "casual" only exists in the insecure, self absorbed minds of the people that call themselves "hardcore". Being "hardcore" does not make anyone more, not in gaming, and anyone who thinks otherwise us no better that any arrogant little fanboy I've had the misfortune to meat over the years, a sadly frequent experience. What's the test to be a gamer? Like games. That is all.

Because the people in question were manipulated and fooled. Sadly, it happens all the time. When people invest money in these kinds of things, the last thing they want to believe is that they've been conned, so they will then stand with, and even defend, any perspective that would mean they weren't conned no matter how detached from reality it is. I've seen it before with projects like Star Citizen, you wouldn't believe how far the victims of that scam will go to defend it and how deluded they appear.

I downloaded the images from my Facebook account and found a lot of photo mode images, mostly from Horizon Zero Dawn, but a couple from Uncharted 4 as well that I'd forgotten about. This is as good a place as any to share them, so feel free to comment on this gallery. I'm hosting if on Imgur to avoid flooding the forum with an absurd amount of images, but I'll post a couple of my favourites.

Believe it or not, "American English" is something of a trigger for me. I exercise a great deal of patience when it comes to this, but every time I see a King or a Queen addressed as "your highness" in a movie or TV show, I do want to strangle said individual with their own windpipe. And I get that feeling a lot. It's not just that either. Football is the sport where you actually use your feet, not some pussy version of Rugby. It's spelled "Carib-bean" because that's the way it's spelled, not "Crribien" and, most importantly, you don't have to say, "Ya want cheese wit' that? every time somebody askes for something to eat.

You can't write jokes about this man anymore, because one cannot make up anything funnier than the man himself. I wish I could, I want to b able to, but I lack the talent to make anything up that is actually funnier than what he actually says.

I almost forgot why I freaking love you, thanks for the reminder. Do what you do and I'll most likely follow.

Yeah, @Reality vs Adventure, we may as well piss on a forest fire after this.

EDIT: Never mind, the issue seemed to resolve itself as I was typing.

let's got at it, whilst remembering at all times to plug @The Blackangel's YouTube channel. I already referenced @The Blackangel's YouTube channel; Dog on a sheep. EDIT: Now that I actually look at it, it's actually quite a nice shot.

If this thread is just gonna dissolve into a battle of farm animals on farm animals I'm going to lock it... because fuck you, I wanna win.

If there is one thing that it takes to make a YouTube channel successful, it's sheer fucking luck. I know how pessimistic that sounds, but it's true. So what you should do is focus not what it takes to get a channel successful, but what makes you happy. In your case, it's what's unique an interesting about you, and that is a lot. Use your strange, embrace your weird and and give us something we didn't even know we wanted. Genius is the last step before madness, so walk that line. Here's a chicken on a donkey:

I'm with our resident crustation on this one. I wanna get pissed on as little booze as possible. I'd save me a fortune.

I want someone to jump onto Discord with me on this server to help me set up this new headset I've just got a hold of.The thing is this headset doubles up as a set of Bluetooth headphones for my phone and they're a little odd in that the headset is wired and the headphones are Bluetooth, Separate functions with, as it turns out, completely separate microphones. As I wish to avoid an in-game session with dickheasds constantly complaining about my mic, I'd like to hear how well the mic actually responds. I'll keep the discord server active and this topic listed just encase anyone wants to talk to me in my capacity as a moderator, but this topic exists for purpose stated above, not as an extension of VGR, this is a personal thing. So, feel free to either ignore or engage with this message, either way it will have no bearing on VGR. Thankful for any help you can offer.

Are you serious? Let me just repeat back what it sounds like you're trying to imply here, because I must be getting this wrong. What it sounds like you are saying is that the dev's had to make the protagonists of the game white because they wouldn't be able to acquire the licence to sell the game on console unless the protagonists were, indeed, white. Like I said, I must be misunderstanding you, or should I say I desperately hope so. I have, however, already found a serious flaw in your theory. The PC version (at least on Steam) appears to have the same, white protagonists; So please clarify, what has the race of the protagonists got to do with publication licencing for consoles?

I tried my best, but with the description you provided, I couldn't find a game that fit the pattern. If there was anything else you could remember you would have said it I'm sure, but try to think. What logos in the games intro, character names, anything and that might help.

I heard about this from BigfryTV a few days ago. In a way I kinda hate that this is becoming such a hot topic as that is likely going add the the people actually supporting this project even though it's mostly bad publicity. All the bad things that can happen with a Kickstarter have happened here. Broken promises, a crappy alpha that barely works, lack of original coding, asset flipping, stupidity unattainable goals, lying devs and way more backers and support than it ever deserved. The thing that really gets me know is them hiring kids as moderators for thier discord. They were basically coerced to do the dirty work of banning people just for asking questions then to ultimately be blamed by the devs for doing so. Basically, hired because they obviously wouldn't know what they're doing, would follow instructions without question to then believe it was thier fault when they were thrown under the bus. It's rotten to the core. I'd highly recommend Bigfry's YouTube channel to stay informed about shady indie developers like this. Don't fall into the trap.

The accents sound South African to me, and that really only makes this potential problem that much worse given that nation's unfortunate history. Calling it whitewashing would be a little unkind to the game as we can't say for sure how this narrative and alternate reality is set up, but it still asks a number of uncomfortable questions. I can see your point, but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt for now. Maybe it actually dese makes sense after all after playing the game. The game itself looks interesting. It still looks like the kind of thing better played on PC's to me, but I'm not sorry to see it come to consoles. Especially the Switch as that's a very good console for these types of games.

You should have said. "Fine by me. Any woman would be lucky to have her." There would have been no comeback, not that the individual who said it had much dignity left anyway.

I had a $10 coupon for EGS, so I decided to buy Hades (Game is is discounted on EGS right now as well if anyone is interested), so was effectivly able to buy the game for just £5.19. Quite a deal. After buying I've got another £10 coupon for EGS to use up, so had a bourse and found this bundle on sale. What do you think, yay or nae? AC Valhalla is also discounted by 25% on it's own. As you can see, these sale prices sale available until the June 17nth. Moderator Edit: Deals expired, locking thread.
