Perhaps the biggest game launch in few years is without doubt Red Dead Redemption 2. It's Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar's sequel to XBox 360's RDR. It's a an open world western in Rockstar's gritty style. The game was much talked before launch, especially it's never seen level of detail was discussed. The level of detail they put into game became a meme when horse testicles shrinking in cold was announced feature. I personally have not yet played the game but have read peoples opinions on it. It's got straight 10 in many places and labeled a masterpiece. One of criticisms that is often arisen is the game seemingly slow pace. This is a pet peeve of mine, as I can't remember myself criticizing anything as slow paced. I personally really enjoy these parts in games and movies.

There is currently three entries in the series with expansion pack for each. The last one, Diablo 3 is soon 7 years old and fans waited for new Diablo to play. Unfortunately this reveal caused ruckus as the new Diablo release was "just" a mobile game. I'm linking video to the release event as it is truly cringy to watch. The air is so heavy you could cut it with a knife. Although many, probably justifiably, say the fans reactions are childish, there is other side to coin, too. Diablo is a series enjoyed by hardcore PC players and Blizzard had announced a diablo reveal in Blizzcon. It felt like blizzard doesn't know it's fan base. This is also part of Blizzards chain of bad decisions in their games, especially making World of Warcraft super casual. This has caused it's player base to plummet. I believe these recen...
