Hey, dude.
I'm kind of Peaceful gamer.
I HATE All Rated 18+ games.
I LOVE Peace.
I play A Lot of Peaceful games such as Animal Crossing, Tomodachi Life, Harvest Moon series, My Sims, The Sims series,etc without profanities , blood and strong violences.
I can see your brain has been contaminated heavily with such things like that.
Dude, try to play these games and tranquil your mind....
Yonder : The Cloud Catcher Chronicles PS4. This game Pure 100 % NO Violences, NO Profanities, NO Combats, NO Killing, NO Racism, just Peaceful things. I recommend this game for you to tranquil your mind, be Relax and Appreciate of Peaceful things. Dude, Be Peaceful is Awesome. You can control your Anger Management, you can control what do you want to say and you can control your Attitude, show a Respect toward other people.
These games also All about Peaceful.
These games also so Peaceful despite there are some a little bit Tolerable Violences and still acceptable for audiences.
Well, try to be a nice guy here and watch your words. Hope you like kind of these games. Peace, Dude. 🕊️
@Inertiacreep "How hard is it for you to imagine a young black girl to play this game and have this racist trash thrown in their face when they're already dealing with it on their day to day lives."
You do realize the objective of the game is to MURDER the people "throwing racist trash" right? It's a game about Nazis. It's a game about an alternate reality where the Nazi's gained ground. The solution to Nazis in the game is to shoot them. The solution to Nazis in real life was to shoot them. (Or imprison if they were particularly important....) Surely the game goes into comic book territory.....but.... the idea that this game portrays Nazis as violent racists.......well.....that IS what Nazis were/are! Well, technically their core purpose was national socialism (it's right in the name), before they became genocidal maniacs, but there it is. Their real life behavior was no better than the worst thing they could be imagined doing in a video game. Which is why the game series is based around shooting at them. And why most of the 1930's & 1940's involved shooting at them.
Now if your argument is "I dislike when video games try to imitate Hollywood movies by trying to be cinematic with complex storylines rooted in unpleasant bits of real world history and behavior" there's certainly an agreeable opinion. But "This game about shooting Nazis portrays too much racism on the part of the Nazis (who in real life systematically built an industrial scale murder industry for the primary purpose of racism-fueled conquest...)" is a bit sideways?
Wolfenstein has ALWAYS had a divisive effect though. Showing Nazi imagery at all was very ill received back when the original debuted. On Nintendo they stripped out the Nazi imagery. (So then it was a game about shooting at random people instead of shooting at Nazis? Not sure that made sense...)
Maybe WWII is just too recent a timeline to be able to fictionalize alternate realities without causing too much disagreement between people on how it should be done, and should thus be an avoided subject for fiction?
On the Wolfenstein thing, I'd watch the clip in question and give my take on it but Inglourious Basterds is one of my favourite movies. So I don't think it's worth me giving my 2c.

Not much to say yet, but I like how hefty/solid it is, and the screen is gorgeous! Been using it soley in handheld mode for the time being since there's an issue with our TV's screen, but we're getting a new TV next month so I'll be able to try out TV mode then.
Been playing the Octopath Traveler demo.
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
It's been one for the history books. 2017 was phenomenal. Certainly from Nintendo, but also Sony and 3rd parties. MS is the only one that didn't really contribute, although they did bring an excellent new console to the table. So I guess there's that.
Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)
They pierced My hands and feet
Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions
Zachariah 12:10 (500 yrs before Christ)
They will look on Me whom they pierced

See, call me old-fashioned, I thought it was pretty lackluster this year. Maybe slightly less so for Nintendo.
Horizon is just another open-world, cinematic, map-reveal extravaganza. The Assassin's Creed reboot was, shockingly, not as fresh as was promised. Call of Duty went back to its roots (which I enjoy) but otherwise, yea... still just CoD. Destiny 2 is Destiny 1.5. On and on... plus loot crates and DLC galore.
Persona was good and BotW is ok (I would put Odyssey above it honestly), but I didn't really play anything this year that truly excited me aside from maybe Mario + Rabbids being a fun surprise and Golf Story being enjoyable and engaging. Nintendo gets an edge anyway because of a new console with a fresh idea, for which I'm very grateful. But yea... on the games front nothing grabbed me.
I haven't played a game that really changed my way of thinking since Overwatch, to be honest. It's been a long time.
Just to belabor the point, like... where's the creativity these days?
Where are the games like ActRaiser that take a risk by combining elements of genres and nailing it? Yoshi's Island by adding a completely new gameplay necessity? Even stuff like Viva Pinata that are so out in left field but super cool? Stuff like Mirror's Edge that tried something brand-new?
I don't buy the arguments that "everything's been done." It hasn't. I just feel like we're living through a tough time in gaming when the bottom line has become EVERYTHING. It's killing the hobby.

It's not like there haven't been unique experiences lately. Looking at the games I've played this year (or occassionally seen). ARMS is a completely different beast, Project Octopath Traveler feels like a breath of fresh air of the stale JRPG genre from the demo, 88 Heroes was a bonkers idea, even if it's execution wasn't perfect, the music genre seems to be seeing a resurgence in new ideas with stuff like Xonix, Musix, VOEZ, and Thumper after dying in the sameness of guitar hero and Rock Band, Axiom Verge was a wonderfully bizarre take on platforming. Morphie's Law is probably looking to be the weirdest shooter since Splatoon, Snake Pass, Overcooked, Lover's in a Dangerous Spacetime, Death Squared, Tumbleseed? The eShop in particular has been filled with unique game experiences this year.
