Skate (2025) needs to be shamed more as an exraordinary cash grab from EA (reasons why inside.)
For those of you not familiar with the skate franchise, it was an absolute breath of fresh air releasing after Tony hawk had been the only big skating game. Skate came out sometime around the 2010s.

I feel like a lot of you need to see this.
For anyone willing to read: I’m not defending the way they monitize the game, but they have to make money somehow, simply “selling cosmetics” isn’t enough for a game like helldivers, unless they make ...

Trying to convert people from 40K

Hear me out, a survival Horror Game where you play as a UAC office worker right before the events of DOOM 2016 start.
The game starts you off as a normal UAC worker sitting in your office. You're no Slayer nor Marine, only an average guy doing boring work all day. You fulfill a few tasks that teach you the basic mech...

Thoughts on the new titanfall-themed warbond in H2?
2 mechs, some high-tech weapons, and some drippy armor than makes you run/slide/jump faster… looks like titanfall’s back on the menu!

Is Rev2 worth playing?
I recently finished playing rev1 and I really enjoyed playing it, but playing rev2 just didn’t have the same vibe. Maybe I‘m just too impatient or something since I haven’t progressed much in the game

If, in certain stages of the campaign, detached versions of the M247 machine guns are either found on the ground or equipped by specific marines, would their presence make the gameplay feel unbalanced...
