I hope not, I get enough salt from the GOTY podcasts to last me the year and then some. Imagine the shit Jeff would be willing to pull when it comes to keeping RDR away from any kind of recognition.

Didn't you call FFXV alright at some point?

The longer, the better for me.
Agreed, but that's mostly due to the way I've always listened to their podcasts: stretched out over the course of the week.

The first one.
It's not just this thread. I expected Persona 5 to be this huge Zeitgeist moment and instead everyone talked about the menues for a day and that was it. I'm not talking just about GAF, my Twitter bubble moved on pretty quick too.
Although I played Persona 4 Golden last year for the first time so no idea how that game was received when it came out. Maybe I'm just overestimating Persona.
And I thought FF XV was alright.
I enjoyed my time with it. I'm kinda thinking about trying FFXIII on Steam I got in one of those SE surprise boxes.
Maybe? The early hours were fun and I liked the "camping" aspect, but I didn't like the characters and the story, and I really didn't care for the combat or side quests.
As flawed as it is, I think I preferred FFXIII; the combat was fun, the story had some good concepts underneath the crummy execution, and the spectacle of it all still holds up. Fantastic soundtrack too.
Can't talk about P5 much when Atlus sabotaged the streaming and sharing potential on social media themselves. Not many people including me care enough to use our phones to take screens of the fun stuff. Other people aren't talking about it much to avoid spoilers, imo. So many people in the OT are still playing it.
We'll need to see how it goes in a few more months. P4/P4G didn't really get a lot of attention until much later and it was primarily from word of mouth from my experience.

How am I supposed to concentrate on this fine acting during TLC if Vinny keeps making funny faces!

I'm not normally the type to force myself to finish something I'm not into, but I really need to get through P5; P3 & 4 are two of my favorite games so I really want to have a "complete" opinion on this one. I'm excited that people are excited for it and it's awesome to see the series reaching a wider audience, but so far I'm downright bewildered at all the praise the story has gotten. Maybe it pulls it together in the back half? Hopefully? (I'm also just kind of a picky asshole when it comes to storytelling in general, so maybe it's just me, lol)
But man, once I finish up P5 and get through the last two books in my backlog (The Magicians #1 and Ancillary Justice) I'm pretty excited to dig into Nier Automata.

It starts out great but somewhere around chapter 8 or 9 it just goes into a steep downhill before it ends more or less, great. It's just a shame because it could have been a fantastic experience all around had the execution been there all the way through. For instance, the strongest cutscene in the entire game is the post credits cutscene lol.
I also really dig the menu change and knowing the origin of the logo.
I think ending the game on that was maybe the smartest thing FFXV did.

Agreed. It's like the only thing about the game I STILL remember vividly.

I got sidetracked from FFXV back when it came out, so at this point I'm just going to wait to play it until I get through all the recent big releases, maybe later in the summer or something. I'm kind of excited to get back to it, especially now that it'll have a half year of updates under its belt.

No but seriously what the fuck is that last ending in TLC

From reading the comments, it seems that ending follows up on the one where the Nurse gets hit by the wife and she becomes....a baby mentally?
Which is offensive and stupid and what the fuck.

How much longer do you guys think the premium sale is going to go on for? I want to wait around to see if I like the new hire before getting it again. The premium stuff right now doesn't look like it interests me that much unless Demo Derby and Game Tapes makes a come back.

It seems like the Kathryn falling down the stairs ending can split off either into her being carried out in an ambulance or them keeping her in the house as their stand in daughter.

It ends May 10th
Also Jeff said Demo Derby soon
It might be the best FMVinny.
Pretty much how I felt after beating it. I dunno, I was pretty into it at first, but mostly everything past the interrogation had me feeling "Meh" about it all.

That'll be plenty of time, I think my premium expired before the Rising Scanlon and the last DD from like November so I will have a lot of stuff to watch either way.

Hey, at least we get $10.
I agree, except I really like everything (Giant P5 spoilers!)
after you lose to Holy Grail. The Igor twist is dope, and shooting god in the face is always great. I also like that you get to talk to everyone at the end.
I just stopped playing to go work but hmmm
I just dunno what it was, but basically I just reached a point where I was mostly waiting for it to end. (Probably the long ass palaces) I loved the Akechi twist, or to be more specific, the twist that they were prepared for his treachery. But his death was some super lame shit, especially with the rest of the team actually going out of their way to forgive this asshole. Like yea,
your past sounds like it sucks, but you did way too much irredeemable shit for me to forgive you, and I'm usually a pretty sympathetic person when it comes to characters like this. Igor twist was alright.
The rest, again, I was "Meh" on. The whole thing with killing God as the city cheers you on sounds dope af on paper, but as it was happening, I didn't feel any type of way about it,
other than me thinking it was kind of cheesy. (Oh yea, the localization eventually just soured things for me to a good extent.)

Made it to #3 in a PUBG game and h o l y s h i t does it suck not being able to see the outcome of the final duel. I wish you could at least look around your corpse, lol.
I really like the game, but the perfect version for me would be a bit smaller. Maybe 2/3 or 1/2 the map size, and play areas that decrease in a way that make the max round time 20 instead of 30 minutes. When I make it to the top 10, I usually have two, maybe three encounters along the way; I'd be more into something that had everyone more actively running past each other. I wind up intentionally jumping into crowded areas lately just because it's more exciting to have some (relatively) big gunfights along the way.
