I just beat chapter 6 and honestly this game is outstanding. Easy goty any other year, serious contender for this one. Keep thinking of what the beast crew will think after every scene when they reach em
2 months from now.
 
Finally got around to the horizon quick look, kind of a dull choice of what to show off. Combined with Austin's impressions I feel like I'm kind of content waiting on it to get a bit cheaper.

Zelda tho...

Feel the same way, for sure going to pick up zelda. Not in the mood for the brand of open world horizon offers .
 
The beginning of the Horizon QL is ROUGH.

Could I just mainline the game and ignore the Ubsioftness of the Open World?
 
I kinda wish Jeff had opened the Horizon QL with some early-game story stuff or something because what he was doing looked insanely boring to me.

Also the UI is hella messy in that game. I couldn't believe how many numbers were on screen for a bit there.

I thought the UI looked really good when Brad asked Jeff to turn on the custom dynamic options. I like that there's an ability to tweak a bunch of stuff and see more of the game that way. I also initially was bummed that they were showing post-game side stuff with everything unlocked but that single side area he did ended up having some decent legs so it was cool to see that.
 
I've taken to skipping the street fights in BitE. I'm sure the thread will correct me if I miss anything worth it

You're doing the right thing.

That Majima intro is so good.

They did him justice.

What a fantastic character.


This is a GREAT picture.

I gave up afer 25 minutes in the Horizon QL.

Yup, just gonna forget about this one and rent it some weekend down the line so I can see the story.
 
The only problem I'm going to have in Beast in the East with Majima is (MAJIMA BUSINESS SIDE QUEST SPOILERS)
they probably won't get his 4th style as it takes a long time. Which is a shame, because his 3 person Heat takedown is the best in the game https://youtu.be/FZLmRcQ76_I?t=6m5s

Yeah I don't know how deep they'll get in the two businesses, I wouldn't be surprised if they finish the first area of each if that and then move on.

Either the game is all story or the QL is just really bad. Nothing I saw in there seemed that great. But Jeff didn't want to spoil anything so that could be the reason why. Still...

Sniper Elite QL tho! So good!

i really like the look of the world and the setup and stuff but i gotta say the game looked reaaaaaaaaaaaally paint by numbers open world.

i guess it's the dressing of that game i'm interested in.

that initial ui though, man. encapsulated everything i loathed about the sasswots creed UI... i stopped watching halfway through cos i had to do something. I'll pick it up again later

Gotta agree. This QL for me really undid everything Jeff's review had done in terms of making the game seem interesting. Maybe if they had shown more early game gameplay and story? Spoiler culture claims another victim.
 
Well gameplay would really be the same, no? Even if the story is told well and interesting, the mmajority of the time you are going to spend playing the game like Jeff did in the QL I guess?

Yeah most likely. The fights with the humans definitely seemed pretty generic but most of the encounters with the robots looked neat with their unique abilities, though it might just devolve into trying to shoot those off at the end of it all.
 
Any thoughts on Danny's new series? Really interesting topic, but I thought that episode fell a little flat. Just nothing new in there, I guess. Maybe I should adjust my expectations, he raised them himself.

Oh and he tweeted how excited he was to work with AREA5, so I looked up their documentary series and Jesus...that Kickstarter is 3 years old. No new footage since september '15. Like...they pitched it with a Ralph Baer interview and he passed away in 2014. Maybe they should be happy to meet someone like Danny...

Is anyone a backer with a little more insight here?

I couldn't imagine giving a shit what Austin thinks.

INVISIBLE. INC.
Also after Austin's defense of Fallout 4 i cant really give a fuck about what he has to say about any of these games so *shrug*.
I mean, crazy opinions is like GB's MO, but that's too far?
 
Please just tell me if side characters from Yakuza Zero return later in later chapters because I don't want these social links to disappear

this director better turn up again later
 
Horizon QL confirms my long-held belief that Quick Looks of games they already finished are the worst, second only to QL EXs. But god damn, Horizon looked boring as hell.

Another day closer to Drew leaving

Another day closer to our inevitable death.

To be fair, Fallout 4 was Austin at his absolute worst.
