Not only has he played it, he really likes it AND will be streaming it this Friday night in his normal streaming slot. So tune in for some Neon BvW action!
There is a CD release (http://kunaki.com/MSales.asp?PublisherId=145545). A vinyl release is probably way too expensive to produce.
Hell yeah that's the good stuff
the first time he played it did he stream it? I would love to see his first reaction at the game
He did not, but it sounds like he really enjoyed it. Should be a good time later this week! Although the music is so good, we might not get too many bits...ahh who am I kidding.
It's not something I am interested in myself, but I hope you get your wish.
I would also. I got to a Stranger mission last night called The Veteran. It had this acoustic guitar / dobro song that was so goddamn beautiful and it was for this quick, 3 minute mission that most people will miss.
That mission took me forever because
I lassoed the horse and tried to calm it but it refused, dragged me halfway along the lake and then bolted and swam to the other side. But yes, the music is great.
Maybe you should try out SoTC PS4, since it offers a more standard control scheme.
Yeah maybe. It's still in my PSN store wishlist, but I have let it slide multiple times when it was 60% off as I have plenty of other things to play and I am afraid of getting burned again.
But who knows if I will bite when it's even cheaper.
I played that for the first time this year via the PS4 remake...I can only imagine what that must have felt like back on PS2. Definitely groundbreaking, to say the least.
Nothing has felt quite like climbing to the very top of the temple to this very day. Assassin's Creed used to be all about climbing landmarks and yet none of those games managed to capture that sense of accomplishment and pure feat of reaching the secret garden there.
I understand, but after all the praise for The Last Guardian got and me not feeling that one at all, I am not convinced my taste in games is the same as a lot of other people.
I am still skeptical about it and don't feel like taking the plunge to be frustrated again with a game that doesn't speak to me at all compared to the type of game TLG is. I usually enjoy exploration/puzzle adventures, I usually don't enjoy boss-fights too much (it's one of the reasons why I didn't buy the new GoW either, especially because I am really not too fond of that type of combat).
Shadow and Guardian are very different games though. I'm not saying you'll definitely like it, but Shadow is very gamey in a way that Guardian really isn't.
Man, I love Amanda but it's tough that she plays every female character in the show plus Jordy. I was really hoping they'd find another VA for those characters but I bet that'd be too expensive.

I'm ready to open my wallet and put help fund to let Kyle make whatever future content he wants to on top of my current EZA pledge. This is SO good.
Yeah, by best game of the last two generations I was basically just saying it's the best game since SotC. Both games impacted me in so many different ways that no other game has managed to accomplish.
Edit: That was a great episode of Box Peek. I agree that it could've used another female VA but so far, Amanda's range is good enough that it doesn't really stand out.

The last guardian got like no praise outside of EZA and people in this thread. The game had its fans but its definitely divisive with far more people thinking the game is bad.
With that said, if you dont like boss fights dont play shadow of the collosus. People will try to tell you that it's different because the colossi are not typical bosses and more like puzzles but at the end of the day it's still just a series of 16 (incredible) boss fights with some very light exploration in between. I say that as a huge fan of the game
Revisionist history. TLG received the fourth equal most GOTY picks in 2016, was fifth in the old site's GOTY vote and the vast majority of reviews were positive, so no, it received a hell of a lot of praise outside of EZA and this thread. And I'm not sure what you're using to determine that far more people think it's bad but if it's the old site and/or Era then you need to remember that that isn't everyone. MGS4 won two 2008 GOTYs because a very vocal minority wouldn't accept that it won the first one.
In case anyone needs context for one of GT's best inside jokes, and Box Peek's new best character, "KAZOMIIIIIIIII":

Thanks, Noah. I never really watched GT streams (except for the final one), so that one went over my head.
There's no question the game is divisive but there's no way "far more people" think the game is bad. It won a fair number of GotY awards, has an 8.1 user score on Metacritic and 82 critic score, and it was #5 on the 2016 GotY list at the old forum. Absolutely not true to say only EZA praises it.
Fair enough, I guess I forgot how many people out there actually like the game. I'm getting more and more convinced of the theory that half of the last guardian disks shipped were messed up versions and nobody noticed.
Ben's line at the end is hilarious.
The expression changes and backgrounds were really impressive in this one.
It is naturally going to be a little divisive because the game asks more of its players than other games do(mainly, it requires that you have a lot of patience, which is paid off as it lends believability to Trico, but will stick in the craw of people that need that instant satisfaction), but it really is a special experience.
While I do see how that's a possibility for sure, I didn't have a problem with Trico myself. Also, I don't have a problem with the slower pace of RDR2 neither as I usually tend to play my games at a slower pace anyway. So that's for sure not the whole story. The slower pace was not the problem I personally had with TLG. That said, I can see how that would be the case for a lot of people.
Had I known Erica was friends with Ian, I would have worn my EZA shirt when I saw her at Youmacon last year
Like, I shouldn't be surprised the connections and friends Ian has at this point...
...but I am still super duper jelly. D=
i added Box Peek to my Plex library and wanted to share the poster i made in case it comes in handy for anyone else (click here for full version):
Not to steer anything back to GOTY discussions, but if ever there were a time to do an Opinion Yell: GOTY Edition, this is the year! This idea popped in my mind as I cursed at the television while playing RDR2 last night. I love Jones and all, but someone needs to take him to task in the Experience Tube over some of the design choices in this game. *shakes fist*
Sort of, but this year you could open it up to 4 or 5 games to yell about. So many spicy takes to be made!
