Game News and Upcoming Games

This is a general question for everyone here, where do you get your gaming news? My go-tos have been IGN, kotaku, polygon, and stuff like that. I’m noticing that over the past year or so, polygon and kotaku have become largely opinion pieces and stuff like that. I enjoy some of it and it is important, but I read game sites for game news, sometimes I don’t want to be beaten over the head with human rights pieces and I don’t think you should have to dig through that stuff to find game news on game sites, I just want to find out what’s coming down the pipe game wise or get cool developer stories. Can anyone suggest some objective and focused gaming news sites? Thanks in advance!

Hmm, yeah, there have been times I’ve read reviews at the two sites I mentioned and forgotten that I’m reading a game review half way through. Sometimes they’re brilliant, but more often than they should, it seems they forget people go there for news about the actual game (ie story, gameplay, art style, graphics, etc…). I guess it’s hard to avoid getting all grand-standy when you’re given a platform, but it would be nice to just read about the game you’re interested in, and not about who is / should be offended because of this or that abstract interpretation of some aspect of the game, or because of some social media post someone in the development team made as an angry, confused teenager back when they were using the gamer tag 420darksniper69… 🙂

Thanks, I seriously thought I was just becoming a miserable curmudgeon or something. It’s nice to hear this is a thing, not just my interpretation. The game site reviews are feeling a bit like recipes these days, you know, when you want to find a good technique for making hard boiled eggs and end up reading about someone’s inspirational trip to Nepal and their entire educational history and all of that bullshit, then, at the four or five thousand word mark, a recipe materializes? You know what I'm talking about?!

Thanks again, I don’t do any social media, but I’ll check those two other things mentioned. 🙂

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 announced. Glad they are bringing this back. It was originally planned to be a trilogy under THQ 11 years ago; but then they went under and it seemed like all hope died with it.

It looks like we're playing the same character Titus from the first game although from the look of his new armor he has 'Crossed the Rubicon'. The transformation process in which a First Born Astartes undergoes the augmentation into becoming one of the Primaris marines. Something that is very new in the 40k lore to coincide with the return of Primarch Roboute Guilliman. If a first born survives the augmentation, which is about 50/50, they become Rubicon Primaris Marines.
