Kinda excited to have a podcast game after not having one for a long long time.

No Man's Sky is secretly The Ring, you die after you play it
That's why no review copies went out last week

Hah. He actually had just come from there.

I don't know why, but I really dig that language learning thing. It's cool that over time, you'll start to understand the alien languages and be able to more accurately communicate with them.

Screw it. I just pre-ordered the game on the Playstation store. When they first announced the game, I was super stoked. I'll be honest, though, I haven't kept up with the news recently. Are there things like bounties or other side missions?

Maybe. I'm not sure. But, I think Rebel Galaxy has that stuff, if that's what you're seeking. It's free on PS+ this month.

I haven't pulled the trigger because I want to wait to see how the PC port was handled but I'm sold on the game.

I got a GTX 1070 coming tomorrow so my plans to get the PS4 version instead of PC version are scrapped. I can wait 3 days.

Yeah, I've been playing hours of that game. I can't get enough of it.
EDIT: I just read in the Day 1 patch notes that Bounties are actually in the game. They also added in pirates that increase in difficulty based on your cargo. That's pretty rad.
The patch notes mentioned adding bounties.
I'm curious to see the opinions on No Mans Sky.
I went from "Day One" to "Im not paying 60 euros for a survival game" and the game as been looking uglier for me as of late.
I'll probably get it eventually but it's a game that totally died on me from reveal to release.
I don't know. I'm not even sure it's a totally rational thing but I'm just meh on it now. Good thing too because I don't have money to spare on it.

Someone mentioned the other day that he talked to an alien and
had no idea what he was saying. He picked on of the options, and ended up getting betrothed to an alien instead of him, lol

The whole "last two letters as domain" thing is basically a layup at this point so I have to go with ta.co.ma.
I feel the opposite. I was kind of distant from It at first, when I heard all of the lofty things they were saying about scale and how vague they were at describing any of the game's systems, but now that it's in people's hands I'm loving what I'm seeing and might actually pick it up day 1.
Have you watched any streams? I was the opposite of you. I went from "who cares?" to immediately pre ordering after a couple of hours if watching it played.

That reminds me of sleepyti.me. It's a website that helps you plan a sleep schedule that has you wake up in between sleep cycles so you're not groggy in the morning.
Sweet.
Damn.
I feel like IO deserves a ton of credit on two levels: first of all, they fulfilled the potential of the Hitman. They really nailed the game mechanics after 16 (has it been that long??) years of iterating a very difficult concept into something that is challenging, fun, and allows for a lot of creativity. Second, they fulfilled the promise of episodic content bringing more value to players.
I was so skeptical when this game was announced and now it's easily my front runner for GotY. I'd go as far as to say it's currently my GotG.
I'll keep an eye on it. I'm not even sure why I feel this way but it really started looking less appealing as they showed more.
I'm playing Fallout 4 now and I love wandering around there so that part of the game I'm still into it.
I'll probably pick it up during a Christmas sale on PS4 or something. I'll still skip launch because, no money.
I'd wager they will release "complete" copies of the game after every Season. Similar to what they are doing with Killer Instinct or like Super SF4 or similar.
I'd love to hear from people who play the game in some kind of linear fashion if it holds up. All the accounts I hear is that people like the bite sized nature of Hitman. So the episodic structure is working out well. I bet in a complete form, the gameplay might not hold up so well.

Part of the reason I enjoy Hitman is the episodic nature of it. I like that I can play for an hour or two, finish the mission and then forget about it for a month, or until an elusive target comes along. Heck, even if I get the urge to play between releases, there's still escalations and other targets that I can do.
It's almost the perfect kinda game. No commitment, and it's there when you want it to be.

DS4WIndows works http://ds4windows.com/, and I'm not sure if DOOM needs exclusive mode or not but regardless you can use Exclusive Mode Tool https://inputmapper.com/downloads/download/5-tools/63-duleshock-exclusive-mode-tool, to get that working if needed.
They shipped part of a game in March because Square Enix's Fiscal Year ended 3/31/16 and they needed to get something on the market. It's not really episodic or something to be proud of.

I disagree.
No matter the reason they ended up doing it, it clearly worked out as far as keeping people engaged in their game.

If episodic hitman is legitimately working out well for IO / Square then that is great.
Only thing I would change is I wish each episode had more then 1 IO hand crafted mission.
Oh and escalations are just not fun.

Got the game yesterday and literally just finished the bonus missions (movie set, Marrakesh at night). Played over 6 hours. It's really great.
Haven't played any elusive targets yet, but I can't wait!

my biggest complaint about hitman is that a lot of the space in some of these levels (especially sapienza) is criminally underutilized. I thought the elusive targets might fix this, but none so far have really warranted the use of the extra areas.
also the mission creator definitely needs some work. how there's no search function is baffling to me.

Read that as "Kiss". Not gonna lie, I'm slightly disappointed.
Must resist!
I don't know if anyone else in Canada has been having this happen to them - ever since Dark Souls 3, every game I've pre-ordered off Amazon.ca has come on the Monday before release.
About to play No Man's Sky in a bit. Hopefully it can get me back into games a bit. Been in a slouch lately. I'm not really into survival games but I am down for a good podcast game until the fall. Hoping it delivers.
