People aren't confused about the very basic notion of what you'll be doing in this game

Like I said when NMS was first shown, "What do you even do in this game?"

I'm confused by the general reaction to this. While it doesn't show how the game plays, it definitely shows more of what you're going to be doing in the game. This trailer is pretty concretely a lead-in to a sequence where you run/hide from a dog-like monster, a thing you've done countless times in videogames before.  It isn't weird or confusing in any way. I get that it is annoying that this game continues to be vaporware. I personally have gone from excited, to frustrated, to having completely forgotten this game exists, but the whole "what even is this game" makes no sense to me. It's a third-person action stealth game from Hideo Kojima that is going to be similar to those other games he made. You don't need to go through an ARG to figure out what was always obvious.

It sounds like their problems had more to do with the management of the company than with the quality of their games. I think you can see this from the abrupt shuttering, poor treatment of employees, and disappointment of the gaming community that they're gone and their projects abandoned. 

I will admit that I never finished any of their games since none of their IP licenses interest me, but I don't think that games I love, like Life is Strange, which push storytelling in games forward would exist without Telltale having led the way. 

Apparently Fortnite is still a free ride.

I have hella nostalgia for this game. It was one of the first coop games I played with my friends growing up. 

The guns feel very underwhelming. I wish that they could somehow package the gunplay of a Tripwire game into a battlefield package.

Edit: package, package, package

What Remains of Edith Finch is perfect for you. It is a beautiful melancholy "walking simulator" that takes about 2 hours to complete and was my personal favorite game of last year.

Giant Bomb the innovators 

As GB goes, so goes games journalism. I look forward to reading articles about people jerking off on BART at Polygon and all my other preferred sites. 

Life is Strange 2 is my only guaranteed buy since I'm determined to shovel as much money on DONTNOD as I can.

These were cool when they couldn't get graphics to look as good now they're just annoying. I hate them, I just want to play a game and don't have time to sit through this F- writing. These need to always be skipable.

 

 

This is the real issue.

But hey, the review was worth your time, right! 

It was honestly very entertaining and focused more on what people like about the game and series rather than simply if it is good/bad. I feel like everytime a new hot jrpg comes out the reviews are hard to interpret since these games are not generally my thing, so I am not the target audience for the review.

This long and intentionally weird review of DQ11 is all you need, enjoy! 

This review has convinced me that DQ11 is a great game that is not for me. I like the idea of a game as a way to chill out before bed and many of my favorite games fall into that category (Night in the Woods, Kentucky Route Zero, the parts of Life is Strange that don't make me cry), but I know that JRPG combat, while it may put me to sleep, won't make me rest easy. 

This game is going to blow my nuts clean off. 

The combat looks really weak, especially considering CDPR's stellar track record of engaging combat systems dating all the way back to the original Witcher.

If the "cool" stat is charisma, I want to play as a very uncool wannabe cowboy.

I look forward very much to playing Cyberpunk 2077.

Well deserved, I kept waiting for the floor to fall out and OG to turn into the frauds I suppose they weren't. 

OG sure knows how to pivot when pinned. 

My mind says LGD #1 but my heart says OG. 

The OG EG beef is making these finals approach dangerous levels of anime. I worry that OG may not be able to survive the wrath of Sumail though.

I'm excited to buy and not complete another From Software game, somehow the only Souls game I've managed to get into has been Monster Hunter World, which I have been enjoying very much. 

Twitch bought Curse so you can manage addons through the desktop Twitch client now, it isn't my favorite thing in the world but it works well.

I've been cautiously optimistic about this game since it was announced,  but this video has me feeling more cautious than optimistic. The AI and environment design just seemed very 2003 to me.

I love it.

Looks like a cool setting that may be a little heavier on the horror than Until Dawn was. I'm very excited that it is coming to PC since the only way I got to experience Until Dawn was through watching streams. I loved the slasher flick vibe of Until Dawn and wish more games would embrace how fun horror can be.
