Ya'll going on about RDR 2 and I still have like 30 hours of Persona 5 to slog through
After that I wanna see if God of War and Spiderman hits 20 bucks over the holidays.

God love her, but Danielle isn't very good at pithy takedowns
That one really takes the biscuit and eats it without chewing
Business is picking up in Starlink as the invasion timer starts clicking, giving the game a StarFox 2 feeling.
I wonder what happens if I let a planet fall completely.
However, Starlink makes the enemy diversity in Freedom Wars or Soul Sacrifice look practically encyclopedic. There are maybe 6 enemies to fight (Outlaws, Imps, Cyclops, Shielded Cyclops, Giants, Primes) in the whole game so far.

Y'all ever see a rephrasing of a classic comment so bad that you are forced to rise up and send death threats to the reviewer who dared to go against the consensus?
Yeah, I was ready to press the pause button the whole video for when they cut to late game impressions.
Honestly, for my first experience with the Persona series and traditional JRPGs in general, I'm still undecided on whether or not I like it, even after 60-70 hours.
Like, I think the story is great. This game could use an editor like a motherfucker, but I think everything outside of the fighting is well done. However, the combat is just so easy to check out of. Every encounter goes something like "Find the common weakness of the two or three different enemies you'll see in this dungeon and just keep critting them to do an all-out attack." Combat is never fun outside of major setpiece fights and boss battles.
Just started November in the game, so I'm nearing the end. I'm enjoying my time with a good chunk of it, but I can't fathom why people say this is one of the best games of last year.
That 10 year anniversary podcast was legitimately one of the best things they've ever put out.
Also makes me really wistful for Silly Jeff. You just don't ever get stuff like that drobot bit ever since Ryan passed and Vinny moved.

Did they take the Alex RDR early impressions video down? It isn't showing up for me anymore.
I remember when midnight releases were super common. The Blockbuster I worked at stayed up past midnight for Gears of War 2. We had like fifteen preorders and we were in the same stripmall plaza as an EB Games, and Microsoft sent us a half dozen t-shirts to give out with them. I still wear one of those shirts for exercise; it's just black with half a read gear on the right hip.
It ain't like that anymore.
Well lah-dee-dah, Mr. My Bandwidth Allows Me to Preload Games. TBH with the day one patch and install time you'll probably still be playing before me.
P5's combat is great precisely because it's so straightforward. It's a game of resource management, tasking you with getting as far as possible while using as few resources as possible. If every battle was a fight for survival it would get repetitive really quickly.
Also P5's dungeons are like five generations ahead of 4's. It's such a massive improvement that it's hard to believe.
I should really finish it some time...
Yeah, I miss that too. I forget how pre-2015 GB was very self destructive in general, which made for some good entertainment. He's seems in a better spot emotionally and physically these days though, so that's good.
The combat is the only good part of the game because the story is bad, the characters are bad, the writing is bad, the music is bad, and the S-Links are bad.
I guess the game looks pretty good tho.
Apparently it takes something like 2 hours to install from the discs so I might still end up playing it before you lol.
Speaking of Bandwith.... I have decided to sign back up for TV cause it's 2018 y'all!
EBOX, my great ISP is offering an Internet TV Package that is not bad at all and it uses an AndroidTV Box so I'll go pick that up tonight.
Oh I forgot to say the dungeons are awful, overly long and full of tedious bullshit that is the opposite of fun.
Just got my pre-order in for Red Dead! Very excited for it as y'all know. Disappointed with the HDR being eh.
Also learned something about one of the characters in RDR2 from the early impressions video:
Micah is racist scum.
Man, I don't know. I think I actually started enjoying everything a lot more once I got SP charms and I was able to actually complete dungeons in one day. The way they force you to advance days after going inside the metaverse is just so bad. Yeah, I understand that chunking 3/4ths or an entire palace isn't ideal for the pacing of the story, but I want to experience as much of the social link stuff as possible and I can't do that if I'm jacking off in the metaverse for weeks.
kawakami is bae tho tbh
also I would disagree with you on the music point but after hearing 'YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT COMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING' for at least the 300th time, I'm so fuckin tired of it.
I'm enjoying watching the Quick Look, but it's just confirming I have no interest in Rockstar's third person games.
Also that Doctor Who fella was really into Persona so it kinda ruined Persona for me too despite the fact I had bought Golden for the Vita before I met him
I am Dr Who guy
in spirit.
in spirit.
Wait, what first person games have they made? GTA5 (as an option) and that's it?
Installation time is such a joke.
I do miss putting in the disc and playing.
Installation, updates, day 1 patches... such bullshit.
When Austin is on point he's just the best. There's no one better at putting the serious stuff in games into context
Table Tennis, while third person, isn't explicitly an OTS camera. That game was great.
