Just finished Hollow Knight with the FF7 full playthrough Gametrailers vod in the background like someone suggested a few pages ago(and man great stuff these 2-3 man streams are just something special, reminds me also of the EZA hearthstone tournament last year. Too bad they're not easy to schedule currently.)
As for Hollow Knight what a maaaaassive game. It's surprisingly big.
I technically finished it but I didn't 100% it. I also know now what made the exploration extra special for me. There's a good amount of Souls DNA in that game when it comes to exploration and lore and as you progress also kind of the tone. And the challenge is there too at least for me I really struggled in certain places.
Man honestly I'm just going to declare 2017 the best year in gaming for me now. Doesn't even matter what else comes out. Everything I bought this year has been exceptional in some way. And the best things is there has been soooo much variety. 2016 was a very (J)RPG heavy year for me. Not complaining love that genre so much but mean you can burn out from anything if you overdo it. 2017 has been so refreshing between Yakuza 0, Nioh, Nier A and Hollow Knight.
Also just to throw it out there what should be my next buy between Horizon and Gravity Rush 2? Wildy different games, currently kind of leaning towards GR2 but just kind of curious to maybe hear some opinions from the community.
--------------------------
Hearing these weird/out there podcast ads for squarespace on other shows made me wonder kind of wonder what the EZA version would be. I know people are very ad sensitive but I kind of wonder what EZA would come up with if they ever provided a super premium sponsor tier where they had to produce themselves a ~30 sec ad to throw into their videos. I imagine chances are it turning out to be something hilarious.
For me, Gravity Rush 2 takes it by a nose but it might depend on what you want to play right now. Horizon is the better game overall IMO because GR2 isn't without its issues, the combat is a bit clunky (really needed a proper lock-on IMO) and the camera can go nuts at times, but I love the characters and it's so
fun and unique to play. In any other open world game, you see your destination on the map and then it's a matter of running/driving to it while climbing hills, crossing rivers, etc. In Gravity Rush 2, you can fucking
fly, so it's never a hassle to get somewhere. There's nothing else remotely like it, aside from the original (which did a good job of laying the bricks down for GR2),
Was there any indication whether the Persona 5 review will be ready at the time of the embargo drop? By all accounts the game is a pretty huge time sink.
I think the only thing we've heard is that they got their review copy pretty early.
So I just finished Telltale's Batman and I didn't realise Jones was in one of the Batman Unmasked videos for it. That's pretty cool. I couldn't watch it from the game menu because the stream died seconds into it but I'll try watching it on Youtube tomorrow.
As for the game itself, eh. It was okay, I guess. Same problems most Telltale games do though: runs like shit, the choices never seem like they matter and the story is way too contrived. Garbage Joker too.
