What's doing it for you? I think I remember you mentioning the set pieces.

What did you think of those two brothers?

yeah the set pieces are really really really good, it's some platinum ass platinum stuff
The music is also STELLAR

I like the characters too, they're all fun and somewhat interesting, the chip system is cool, the combat is good enough. I liked that route A didn't drag on forever, it got to the point fast and I didn't feel any need to grind a billion sidequest, I did a bunch and moved on to the main story

They have no nipples, unlike the mario brothers.

they have bellybuttons tho

More activities than I know what to do with? Can I Golf? Go bowling? Look for cards with pictures of Japanese pornstars? Slot car racing? Can I go to a disco? Can I sing karaoke? How about betting on an underground catfight tournament? Can I play Outrun? Can I fish? Maybe play some shogi? Is there a batting cage? Maybe a UFO catcher? How about some poker? Or blackjack? Perhaps some pool? Or darts? Can I talk to women on a sex line?

Destiny 2 is the Yakuza of video game activities

I can relate to Abby's woes with her backlog. I am never going to catch up by GOTY.

I have finished Yakuza 0, Horizon, Persona 5, War of the Chosen, but now I'm being pulled apart with Night in the Woods, Nier, having finished my A playthrough, Kiwami which I am a few chapters in, and like a dumbass I got a Switch last week and am now also juggling Breath of the Wild.

My SNES Classic is coming in the next few weeks, and I know I have to watch out for Wolfenstein, Mario Odyssey, Shadow of War, Total Warhammer 2.

Oh yeah and fuck I'm probably gonna get Divinity 2...

Or you can not worry about finishing all those games before GOTY and enjoy them at a leisurely pace like most people that don't have to worry about doing GOTY voting.

Yeah I manage it by not really caring about missing out.

Like I spent last week not playing any games and it kinda felt great? I gotta have a reset period or I'll burn out.
 
I really want Mario Odyssey to sneak up and win GOTY.

I also want to buy a Switch and with my new promotion, I could but I feel like I should wait it out.

also I really need to watch Face/Off still.

Yakuza 0 has been sitting on my shelf and I have quietly accepted that I am probably not going to finish it within the next few months

At least blast through the main story, I finished about the last 80% of the story over 3 days, it can be finished pretty quickly if you just focus on the story stuff.

Yeah I assume at least Jeff will also have finished the raid by then.

Jeff posted something on his Tumblr that makes it sound like they're waiting for a bunch of people to get their power high enough. Brad/Dan/Vinny/Jeff/Ben/Abby maybe? I haven't listened to the last Beastcast, is Alex still slogging through?

eh, rushing through a game just so I can say I "finished it" is really not a thing I enjoy doing

I'll probably pop it in if/when I need to take a break from Zelda
 
Or it might be that the artist/cocreator might have a distinct art style that they chose to use, which is what actually happened. It's... not exactly cutesy either? This is a really cynical take that doesn't make any sense when you consider the game or its developers.

also it's a good story shush

Listen Im just throwing my takes out there so that the GBers can read them and be ready to take down alexs "let me get my piece in"

No more

No more will bad games be on the goty list because someone spends 5 minutes saying how they really like it and not why it stands out compared to other games.
 
Samus Returns is pretty darn fantastic. Feels amazing to be playing a Metroid game again

I've been playing it instead of watching Giant Bomb stuff. It's great and feels like a sort of redemption for Mercury Steam and Sakamoto. I hope the same team makes a Metroid V in the near future.
