WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO ANNOUNCE KIWAMI 2 AND FORTUNE STREET IN ENGLISH NOW AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

giphy.webp


EDIT:

On Friday night, we'll have a special presentation with opening remarks, special guests and game updates to talk about. We're not calling it a Showcase given that we're coming a few weeks off of Paris Games Week, but we'll have some cool content to share.

They could still be casually dropped there... But no hype.

Yeah. I'm really disappointed Sony put a bullet in the PSX conference but that's a bad 'pinion. PGW wasn't Sony's best and I still have issues with the format but it was still a good show. Best conference this year (not that that's a super high standard).

E3 for me was better than PGW, but that's just my taste in games I guess, PGW to me was Concrete Genie and Ghost of Tsushima, everything else we've either seen before or things I'll wait to come to PS+. Concrete Genie looks great, and while it seems Ghost was in-engine, we have no idea how it plays, the little snippets at the end could easily be in-engine cutscene too.

None of their conferences were "bad", I just expected a lot more from a year where their main competitor is launching a new console, even if they are launching it with no new exclusives.

Having finished Super Mario Odyssey I now feel confortable to say that i have played all games this year that could be on my personal GotY List, with the exception of Divinity 2 which I just didn`t have time for yet.
My List:

1. Zelda BotW
The sense of freedom, the possibility to climb/explore everything, the music, the physics, etc made me feel like that child that played the original TLoZ again. On top of that, even my parents who haven`t touched a game for 15 years have now finished Hero Mode after I showed them the game in May. That has to count for something.

2. Horizon Zero Dawn
Really liked the gameplay and the way the story was told fit very well with how i like to immerse myself with a "new world". The DLC looks nice as well.

3. Uncharted The Lost legacy
The visuals, the characters and all in all, to me, the best Uncharted since 2. They could make games with Chloe as the main character for years to come and I would be there day one. Also, great Multiplayer.

4. Super Mario Odyssey
Might climb a spot after thinking more about it. I am not that into Mario games usually, but this was just a lot of fun.

5. Ni-Oh
Unbelievable that Ni-Oh came out this year, feels like 2 years ago. Addicting combat.

HM:
The Ringed City DS3 DLC, SP TFbW, Resi7

I really hope we get some kind of Spoiler Mode discussion on Mario Odyssey.

I want to hear all the Allies break down their impressions.

Yeah, they're doing it on Friend Code so I'm kind of hoping that either they get a rotating cast of people in if they can logistically for that episode, or the three people on that weeks Friend Code get into it and there's a separate Spoiler Mode for the rest of them.

Ah... Even with a rotating cast of people stepping in every 20 mins or so on friend code, I'd prefer it if it was say a solid 4-5 people at least who were there until the end of the show. Rotation wouldn't allow for organic back and forth that might happen if people were present the whole discussion.

Like you said, I hope there's a separate Spoiler Mode if they aren't willing to do a special, larger Friend Code.

The PSX news is a downer. I suppose if they have no big reveals or large announcements to drop it makes sense to go this route, their E3 keynote was disappointing and I'm sure they don't want the perception of a lacklustre PSX just before the holidays. Still, I feel Sony have stuttered a bit this year in their marketing and customer-facing operations. Meh, we'll still get our betting special and that's the important thing.

Finally got the time to beat Odyssey last night. What a phenomenal game. Looking forward to chipping away at the post game. I won't post my GOTY list until I'm done with all of the games I want to beat this year, though. So I'll probably form a list in January.

I mean, assuming Nintendo is going to have a meaty January Direct/Showcase, could they bump the Betting Special to be Game Awards/Nintendo Direct?

Ben doing a solid for covering todays xb2 direct. Would make note for him to close chat during the direct though, it seemed like he was paying more attention to chat than the live stream at times.
The breakdown post direct was what brought the stream back up for me, really appreciated the thoughtful discussion post livestream.

Did Ben ever play Xenoblade Chronicles X? I'm curious what he thought of it if so, I loved it, but it has always seemed pretty divisive.

Edit: I'm currently watching his commentary over the direct and it does seem like he played it. Guess I'll go see if I can find his thoughts on it.

He reviewed it at GT, before having played the first one. He liked it, but I believe he likes Chronicles 1 more now.

EDIT: Grammar

I loved this week's episode of Cup of Jones. That extra part at the end was really heartwarming. I'm so happy we're getting these weekly livestreams now.

I wonder if Ben will ever have time to make those three (or was it four?) Xenoblade Chronicles videos he said he wanted to make. He seems to like keeping himself busy with other things.

I think COD would benefit from the same year off that AC did, maybe they could finally get the netcode up to snuff.

I'm loving this recent wave of reviews, they've all been well written and edited. I've liked what I've seen of this CoD despite not touching the series since Black Ops. I might pick it up in the new year.

I just finished watching the direct from this morning and he mentions that he is going to try and get at least one of them done by the release of 2 if possible.
