I’m Probably Gonna Need to Get a Playstation 5 for God of War: Ragnarok
The time has come, once again, in my unfortunate life, wherein I’ll probably need to buy a new gaming console. My PC is getting old and all the new games need the fancy new generation. But Playstation 5s are still hard to find! Why is that?! It’s been, like, three years? Why can’t I just go to Best Buy and get a Playstation 5? Stupid world.
Anyway, check out this awesome new trailer for God of War: Ragnarok.
Looks great. But it also looks great on a Playstation 5! How else am I going to play this? I know I can get it for my Playstation 4…but should I? Shouldn’t I just upgrade? Gotham Knights isn’t going to have a Playstation 4 version. Or maybe I’ll just wait. Pokemon Violet comes out that same month and I’ve got a Nintendo Switch that works.
I guess I’m just going to have to wait and see what fate has in store for me on Nov. 9.

6 Things I Want to See in Mass Effect 4
Recently, I completed the epic adventure is that is the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, combining the first three Mass Effect games and all of their DLC. Way back when the games first came out, I played through the first two and then never bothered with the third game. There was such a negative backlash that I simply didn’t play it. But time heals all wounds, and a nice sale on the Legendary Edition had me back in the saddle as Commander Shepherd.
What does the future hold for the Mass Effect video game series? Does anybody have any idea? Two years ago, we got a tiny teaser that the game was in the works. It’s been radio silence since. I’m one of the few people who seems to have actually enjoyed Mass Effect: Andromeda, but the developers stopped bothering with that game almost immediately. So this list is just going to be a bunch of random speculation and thoughts about what this hypothetical game might contain.
Join me after the jump as I reflect on my Legendary Edition playthrough and offer some hope for the future.
Read the rest of this entryI Think I’ll Saints Row This Week
We’re still in the dull days of summer with not much going on. So hopefully the release of the new Saints Row reboot will give me something to occupy my time. I just need something to occupy my precious time!
I’ve got to download the Epic Game Store to buy this game. And hopefully I’ll be able to play co-op with some friends. And hopefully it’ll be a fun and fulfilling reboot. I’ve enjoyed most of the Saints Row games in the past. But we’ll see. I’ll keep my hopes up and we’ll see!
Saints Row comes out on Tuesday.

Let’s Take Another Look at Pokemon Violet and Scarlet
We’ve seen a ton so far for the upcoming Scarlet and Violet games, due out in November. It’s going to be an open world RPG — which I love — and will have a lot in common with Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which I also enjoyed. Well yesterday gave us even more information, including the stupid new game-specific transformation system.
This looks great! It’s like Arceus, but an actual normal Pokemon game. So all those theories that Arceus was a testing ground are proving correct. So I’m quite thrilled. An open world Pokemon RPG with more detail and world than ever before? Hecks to the yes!
Here’s a video that explains everything more in depth.
So I think I’m definitely going with Violet. Look at those two legendary pokemon. Why the hell does the scarlet one have wheels on its body if it’s going to run everywhere? It looks dumb as hell! It’s got those big wheels just sticking out of its body on both ends, then has to awkwardly run with its legs on either side of the wheels. Meanwhile, the violent one is just straight transforming into motorcycles and rocket ships. Hells yeah.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet still look pretty great. And now that I own a Switch, this is probably a Day One buy for me when it comes out on Nov. 18. I’ll have something to talk to the cousins about at Thanksgiving.
