I didn’t watch pre-release trailers, I didn’t engage in discussions with friends – I kept my knowledge to the game as low as possible, and my excitement as untainted (but enthusiastic) as possible. If you asked me what I was looking forward to the most over the past few months, my answer was always that.

That AAA title from one of the major publishers that’s going to have me hooked to my screen for a few weekends, where I consider the possibility of unemployment so I can dedicate more time to whatever virtual world I’m living in.įor me, Mass Effect Andromeda was that game. The reason I say this is because there are moments when I think about upcoming games as that title that breaks what I’ve just said. Don’t get me wrong, I still love gaming and it was only recently that I was completely enthralled in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, but that longing for the weekend just to play the latest and greatest is sometimes a past memory than a current state of mind.

These are some of the rivalries that can get people talking about console wars. Microsoft versus Sony, Battlefield versus Call of Duty and Forza versus Gran Turismo.
