I had always loved AC III’s narrative. The immediate familial conflict was compelling considering that the prologue endeared me to Haytham, but it was underscored by the game’s running theme that morality was relative. I mean, has any other AC story made one question who were really the good and bad guys like ACIII…

I’m still sad we won’t see an Alan Wake sequel. :(

he consulted on the story arc and wrote two of the episodes but it was mainly telltale writers.

No fix for the skill mods?

I find it harder so far than the Souls games. Definitely harder than Dark Souls 3. It may just be that I’m still getting used to the combat, which is certainly different than the DS games and Bloodborne.

Knowing that Persona 5 is close-ish, I can now finally bring myself to finish P4 (I just didn’t want it to end, which I fully understand is totally ironic). 

The firefly just disappears sometime. I’ve seen that also happen to the turret, hive, drone and seeker mine.

Does the Japanese release have English subtitles?

A lot of the gadgets work better with coordinated team play. For example, The fire chem launcher is much more useful when you can have a teammate instantly light up the gas cloud rather than losing the opportunity because of the delay in switch from the launcher to your weapon.

Can we please talk about how awful the pathing is on the firefly? I think I’ve seen it randomly dive into the side of an object and blow up more than I’ve seen it be useful. Am I doing something wrong? When it works it’s great, but in my experience that’s only been about 20% of the time.

It’s...O.K....

I’ll be finally starting Kingdom Hearts 3 after making my way through The Story So Far collection and completing it last night. I’m pumped!

I thought they went back to their original spot after so much time? I know at least echoes do. 

Shadows Die Twice should fix that for you next month! 

I had hoped the new update would add more coop story missions. 

My experience has been pretty great so far. I played the 10 hour demo on the Xbox One X with the game installed on an external drive. Loading times have been alright. Maybe 30 seconds max. No disconnects and I’ve only seen rubber banding maybe twice and it’s only lasted for a couple seconds (both times while flying to…

Excellent review and some outstanding writing here! Thanks!

Huh? All she wrote is that the game started off with incredible aspirations and ended up not meeting them. And that’s what happened. What’s the issue?

Final Fantasy IX <heart><heart><heart>

That’s the problem with most game journalism; it’s fluff and they’re too concerned with access over a good story.
