I've never been a big poster, but I'm glad this place is back. I tried looking around for another place in the downtime but I couldn't find anything that really compared to what this provided. I am open to looking at other things, but there just didn't seem to be another go to site for info out there. I don't really do reddit.
Joined way back in 2004 after just lurking for a bit, and it's been great to come here and find the latest news and insider info etc first. I used to check various game websites but for many things I ended up finding the info appear here first and then go to pop up on video game websites. Those video games websites even credited much their info from a post on this forum.
Then there's all the hype for things like system launches and E3, so it's probably going to be a interesting time coming with the release of Mario Odyssey, Assassin's Creed Origins, and the XBOX One X (probably some other big title coming out but those are the mains for me at the moment). I don't have a Switch yet (would have had one already if they had a system wide trophy/achievement system), but am interested in getting one sometime this year for Mario, but I am locked in for the X and Assassin's Creed will probably be the first game X enhanced game I play on it.
Oh and I did like looking at various community threads in OT too, so I'm a bit bummed they're not back yet (DCEU threads, Funko I mostly checked for info). There was also some interesting news posted in the off topic section at times, and so whilst the games stuff attracted me here I do miss seeing the other stuff at the moment.
