I can see the damage creation crew is already hard at work.

I'm just here to see Montauk pop off for the 836918th time in two days.

What games are even left? Fable and an Elder Scrolls logo?

Yup and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Fable gets canned too. It was MIA at Microsoft's showcase earlier this year and it seems like there's zero hype for it.

This makes me sad. In 2011, Avalanche made a twin stick shooter called "Renegade Ops" that has been kinda forgotten. It wasn't anything real special, but a fun little Arcade game. When I saw the announcement for Contraband, I hoped that the game would build on that.

Yeah I have this, didnt know they made it.

 

[adamsapple]

Wait wat? Did we know it was canceled or this is brand new information?.

No. This particular Booty sucks.
I think it's hilarious you're citing pro hater Chorizo as someone who's just coming round to dissing Booty.
