Absurdly dull WrestleMania card. Only interesting match is the cruiserweight match. AJ Styles deserves a better opponent and Reigns going over a crippled Undertaker will not be something anyone except for Vince McMahon will enjoy watching.

Never. It'll never be enough. Yes. Very much so. And well-deserved. On a more humorous note:

<p>I'm with K-Nection on this. They build up an exciting universe that I participate in and care for in 3 games spanning what, 150-200 hours - only to blow it up with a crappy ending in the last 15 min of the game... why would I now care for another game in the series? Not only did they destroy everything that was good about the original trilogy - they also betrayed my trust and have me worried that they'll do something similar if I should fall in love with this new universe as well...</p><p> </p><p> About X-Men Origins: Wolverine, messing up Deadpool was not even in the top five of my biggest gripes with that thing... but don't get me started on the X-Men movies - I've considered boycutting them several times due to their utter disregard of established continuity. Heck, I almost didn't watch First Class when it came out...</p>

I want to like more Mass Effect - but after the let down of the ME3 ending, I just don't care for that universe anymore. Since they, you know, pretty much destroyed it...

Triple H is clearly trying to position himself into the "Undertaker" role, like it or not.

Of that bunch, I liked Manbat the most - but that's not saying a lot, really...</p>

I agree on the graphics and atmosphere. But the Batmobile parts nearly ruined it for me... It had the weakest sidequests of the entire series though. The best one was probably the Mad Hatter sidequest, which was a DLC.

<p>Finished Batman: Arkham Knight to conclude the series. Or, rather, I finished the main story - I couldn't be bothered finishing the Riddler arch and was fed up with the Batmobile stuff. I must say, it was the by fear weakest entry of the bunch. The Batmobile missions were a fun gimmick for a short while, but was featured waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too heavily in the game. To the point where it became a giant pain in the buttocks.</p><p> </p><p> The story itself was interesting at times and had some great elements, but ultimately didn't pan out too well in my opinion. Arkham Knight was a breath of fresh air and intrigued me greatly - but once it became obvious who it was, they dragged out the reveal for way too long. And while I absolutely love the voice of John Noble, he didn't feel right to me as Scarecrow.</p><p> </p><p> Overall, still a fun (but too long) game - but without the memorable moments of the other games in the series. Even Origins was a far better game in almost every aspect.</p>

Hell darkness my old friend... Yes, depression is an old mistress of mine. It hits from time to time, causing me to, when at its' worst, wish myself dead. I think perhaps the most important thing to remember - which this thread showcases very well - is that while you may feel as though you are alone, you are not. There are many, many, many others who feel the exact same pain. Most of them are able to shrug it off and get by, and so can you. So can we all. We are not black sheep freaks of nature, we are like countless others. It's nothing highly unusual and there's nothing wrong with it. You are not to blame. Just hang in there and make the best of it. It's all you can do. It's all we can all do.

I echo the sentiment that Rogue One was pretty great. And I felt the CGI characters were amazing, I was absolutely stunned. I'd perhaps go as far as to say that Rogue One was the best movie of the series - but it was not the best Star Wars movie, due to lacking some trademark Star Wars elements. And Felicity Jones...

But then again, since it's not a native Steam game, I'm not really complaining... I should try out the link with Tomb Raider if I can ever dare to play that with a controller.</p>

I bought a Steam Link on Black Friday. So far, ironically enough, I've mostly used to to play FIFA (a non-steam game) - as I've come to realize that I prefer using mouse and keyboard for most of my games (even most console ports).

What I enjoyed most about the movie was probably the fact that it was allowed to stand alone and be unique, without all sorts of unnecessary cameos and cross-promoted storylines. I do enjoy that the shared component of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but sometimes I think they tend to overdo it - but not in Dr. Strange.

<p>I finally decided to fire up The Bureau: XCOM Declassified after having sat on it for more than 2 years without playing it. And right off the bat, it impressed me greatly. Exciting and immersive story with surprisingly strong visuals.</p><p> </p><p> Gameplay-wise, I was surprised to see that it's basically Mass Effect set in the 1960's only with more focus on combat. The mechanics and powers are more or less identical. A bit weird, actually.</p>
