This week, the gang ponder about the games that are coming in 2017, thinking about what they’re really interested in. The games range from Mass Effect: Andromeda to Injustice 2, among other titles. It’s a long rambling conversation, but at least it’s hope. The Gaming History focuses on the folly that was The Capcom 5.
The news items this week include:
- Fallout 4 surpasses Skyrim to become Bethesda’s most successful game ever
- Rainbow Six Siege year two: free loot, better matchmaking, subversive operators
- E3 2017 will be open to the public
The Question of the Week is “What game are you looking forward to in 2017?”

This is the price for being top dog in graphic engines, but now they’re changing their tune a bit.
