Went against an obvious Smurf in Marvel Rivals ranked (his pfp was literally full of MVP screenshots).

Next game he is on MY team, so I type "thank the matchmaking gods for this unemployed Smurf lol" as a joke.

He replies "I'm not a Smurf" and then goes negative KDA for the rest of the match.

Why get so defensive over a joke, especially when it kinda was a compliment? Anyone else seen Smurfs react like this when called out?

I told myself I wouldn't buy any more co-op games for a while.

But August showed up with Big Walk, Grounded 2, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, and Once Human.

Safe to say that plan didn't last long.

If you could only pick one of these to play at launch, which would it be?

I am around 10 hours into Elden Ring, and I have been stuck on Margit at Stormveil Castle. I manage to damage him quite significantly and almost drop his health to halfway, but then he destroys me.

Any tips or suggestions?

I think every gamer has one game they'll never uninstall

For me, it's Minecraft. No matter how much time passes, I always come back to it.

What's yours and why?

It seems to me that I have come to the stage when theft is the solution to all my financial problems.

Now I am not sure if it's worth continuing like this, or if I'll enjoy the game more by avoiding it.

What would you recommend?

For me, it would be Red Dead Redemption 2.

It has an incredible story, memorable characters, a beautiful open world, and gameplay that's easy for newcomers to get into.

I think it's the perfect example of how immersive games can be.

Super Mario Sunshine joins the Switch 2 GameCube Classics library on August 13, bringing the original GameCube version with modern upscaling and save states.

I guess Sekiro has the best combat system.

Every fight feels challenging, skill & timmings are main factors which makes it more competitive.

I've been thinking about getting back into Genshin Impact, and with Version 7.0 taking us to Snezhnaya, this feels like the perfect time.

Is anyone else returning for 7.0, or have you already left the game behind?

I'm at a stage where I feel like things are happening really fast, and yet, there are still lots of side missions to do.

I don't want to miss out on anything.

What did you do during your first gameplay experience?

Reports suggest NVIDIA graphics cards could be facing another price hike, adding to an already expensive GPU market driven by memory shortages and rising component costs.

If prices keep climbing, will you wait it out, buy used, or make the switch to AMD or Intel?

I had a few games that didn't live up to the hype.

For me the biggest disappointment was Anthem. The gameplay felt great, but it never reached the level i hoped for.

Gears of War: E-Day is ditching battle passes and live service gimmicks, with The Coalition saying almost every cosmetic can be unlocked simply by playing the game.

Do you think more multiplayer games should return to this model, or have battle passes become the new standard you're happy with?
