There was only ever one man who could truly unite the Star Wars fanbase. The king has returned

Remember, there’s no good videogames anymore 🤓 fuck offfff mate. Banger state of play

First Mass Effect down as I replay the series. Such an incredible franchise. The first is so unique, carries a sense of wonder and exploration as you traverse with the mako. The introductions to characters and howchoices + moments pay off in later games. Truly special. Onto 2

Jumped back into Helldivers 2 for a bit and instantly reminded just how fun this game is. Still would like a sample rework in terms of progression but so good to come back

It stinks so much. I became a creator because I wanted to share my love and passion for the medium and this is what you’re competing against.

Tbh I’m just exhausted by the constant negative discourse surrounding video games. Player counts, politics, fake outrage, clip farming. It’s not just highguard it’s every release. “Videogames aren’t as good anymore” they are. Discourse has sucked the fun out of them

Finished season 3 of the expanse and oh my god. It is giving me the same feeling of Mass Effect just in TV form. What a brilliant show

Star. Wars.

Fable is going to remind everyone once again that British humour is indeed the best in the world.

It’s been a remarkable few years in the video game industry in showcasing just how much horrific leadership wastes so much talent and time. Stop letting people who don’t know shit about games make the big decisions around them

Honestly just so disheartening to continuously put out content that strikes a balance of excitement/critique about games. Meanwhile all someone has to do is go “errr The marathon collectors edition doesn’t have big enough tits for me.” Buried under a load of crap

Cannot wait man. Telling you this could be really special given the Bungie spin. Also the art is fucking incredible

Make game that flops, laid off. Make game that’s just ok, laid off. Make game that surpasses internal expectations and is a great Batman Arkham game. Laid off

Camouflaj gutted by Meta so no Arkham shadow 2, Netflix looking at WB games as "worthless",genuinely losing all hope for the future of DC and EVEN Batman videogames. A truly generational fumble that stems from poor leadership that has wasted the time of many talented studios and people. Ctrl C+CtrlV

Did a quick replay of Returnal this time on PC before Saros later this year and it's still one of my favourite games of the generation. The use of the dualsense, the environments and man that 4th boss fight still IS SICK. Only took me 5 runs total I was locked in

YouTube video by The Matt Effect Marvel Games Could Have It's Greatest Year Yet

2026 is looking fantastic for gaming but particularly for Marvel games with Insomniac's Wolverine, Tokon Fighting Souls and 1943 Rise Of Hydra in the mix. Let's preview 2026 for marvel games

Just imagine what Massive are going to do with the division 3.

As someone who has only finished fallout new vegas, I really am loving the fallout show. It really helps that it’s a story set in that universe than a 1:1 of a game. Love how it feels like a game with main and side quests in itself

I’m not sure how much more nonsense videogame discourse I can take. Player counts, politics, agendas, price points, ridiculous comparisons but never the actual quality of the game itself. Just genuinely exhausting.

Time to start posting here more again

Fully expect a new wave of “oh this game is actually great, why did everyone say it was bad”

Hush in this one. Court of owls in 3 🤞🏻

So many videogames to look forward to this year man.
Wolverine
Saros
Star Wars zero company and galactic racer
Marathon
Control resonant
Gears E-day
Fable
1943 rise of Hydra

I MEAN CMON

Massive entertainment are without doubt one of the most technically impressive out there and imo Ubisoft's best. Finally jumped into Avatar Frontiers of Pandora and the visuals are mad. Absolutely stunning and the 3rd person update is incredible.

YouTube video by The Matt Effect The Unforgettable Journey Of Clair Obscur Expedition 33

Since finishing Expedition 33 earlier this year I’ve been unable to find the words or video to describe how special it is. Instead I wanted to combine the words it made me feel with the reactions

The game awards yesterday and the Star Wars games that were announced are those that fire me up as a creator to want to be successful. To work for the opportunity to be invited to preview events, give feedback, create trust and establish myself. That's the target now.

It’s now at the studio making the hellraiser revival. That’s kinda all we know for now but it’s better than nothing. I’d like to imagine 2028 for KOTOR + 2030 for FOTOR but that’s optimistic

So it's probably going to be a 1-2 punch with KOTOR remake? Wet the appetite with the remake and then 2 years later drop the spiritual successor?

Somehow it got even better than the dreams. Star Wars Fate Of The OLD REPUBLIC youtu.be/4p00CF7fbvo

Game awards hopes/ wishlist tonight:
Star Wars game announcement(s) / KOTOR re-reveal
Marvel 1943 rise of Hydra gameplay
Gears E-Day gameplay
Lego Batman release date
Saros co-op mode
Exodus release window

Dreams:
Batman Arkham Beyond
New Sony Santa Monica IP
