True Game Truth #185: We here at True Game Truths wish Gabe Newell a very Happy Birthday!  Long may he live.

True Game Truth #184: The best PC mech shooter around, HAWKEN, will be shutting down on January 2, 2018.  Another once-great free-to-play game bites the dust.

True Game Truth #183: Visceral Games is no more because EAids doesn’t like expertly-crafted single-player experiences without bullshit microtransactions.  Just look at what they did to Dead Space 3, for fuck’s sake.

Here’s my review of Blade Runner 2049.  Not a game review, but it still counts.

Go see it.

True Game Truth #182: RIP ZMR.  The comedy-themed cover-based third-person shooter with mechs and over-the-top enemies powered by the Unreal Engine and supposedly made by a studio that used to be Epic Games China or something along those lines, gets shut down on October 31st.  

There will be no compensation, no matter how much money you may have spent on the game.  If you logged into the game between July and September 2017, you’ll get some microtransaction currency for En Masse’s other games.  Get the full details here: http://zmr.enmasse.com/news/posts/zmr-is-shutting-down-oct-31

True Game Truth #181: Nothing Ghost can stay.  It wasn’t enough for Nexon to implement permanent changes no one asked for.  When we voiced our displeasure, they responded by abandoning the game and announcing its closure.

Between Arise, that awful life-action clusterfuck, the underwhelming Figmas, and First Assault getting shafted, it’s real hard to be a Ghost in the Shell fan these days.

True Game Truth #180: Absolutely goddamn shameless.

True Game Truth #179: Happy 40th anniversary, Atari 2600.

True Game Truth #178: The Triple-A videogaming industry has found a new low: pre-ordering day-one DLC in order to profit off a man’s death.

Disgusting.

True Game Truth #177: I’m glad that Marc Laidlaw finally got to tell the story of Half-Life 2: Episode 3 after all these years, even if it wasn’t in video game form.

True Game Truth #176: Someone’s been poking around in Steam’s files and found a number of Destiny microtransaction packs.  See for yourself here but take it with as many grains of salt as you want.

The description text is all from the first game, and the Icon URLs are from console storefronts.  They could all be placeholders.  Is the first Destiny game coming to Steam?  Is this just placeholder stuff for the second game, which will come to Steam eventually?

What does this mean?

True Game Truth #175: Porn is free; these are neither.  Seriously, if you’re savvy enough to know about that crap on Steam, then you know how to find actual fappable content for free.

Just download the CGs and call it good.

True Game Truth #174: I mean, I’m glad they’re still supporting The 3DS Family of Systems at all at this point, and the demo IS pretty fun, but this seems like the follow-up to Tomodachi Life that should’ve come out the year after that game.

True Game Truth #173: Happy tenth anniversary, The Orange Box.

[truegametruths]

True Game Truth #172: And we are back!  We do apologize for the hiatus, and we did miss some important stuff, but we have returned, and that’s gotta count for something, right?

We also have finally set up our Steam Curator Page, which you can find right here.  Follow True Game Truths’ Curated Game Curation today!  And happy Steam Summer Sale!

True Game Truth #171: You won’t fool us again, Activision and Bungie.

True Game Truth #170: Sci-fi exosuit-wearing Dark Souls really does look rad.
