As far as I'm concerned, your friend did you a disservice by calling it the "real" ending. If you enjoyed the game and beat it, then you likely got your $15 bucks worth and more. There's an alternate ending if you complete all the dream quest stuff but it's elitist to say the experience you had with the game wasnt…

Are you kidding me? I’d argue Jason was generous in sticking with a game he wasn’t finding fun for 50 hours. There’s a feeling among many people that a reviewer has to finish a game before they are qualified to give their opinion. That’s not true. No game is going to suddenly win you over in hour 60 if you are not…

I’m not particularly sure where the “punish the hell out of you for not picking the perfect combo of people and skills” critique comes from. I definitely got that vibe a little in the main review but 50 hours in and my relatively milktoast party of Fighter, Ranger, Wizard, Cleric is more or less steamrolling through…

I’m about 50 hours in and most of the way through the second Act and it’s slowly becoming my personal Game of the Year. I’m happy to see a review that offers some actual criticism though and just want to provide some more information to people in response to it.

The first one didn’t grab me until the depths of its combat and exploration revealed itself a good dozen or so hours in but even then, the story and characters were so-so. I’m finding the sequel to be a huge step up in every way. 40 hours in and I think I can safely say it joins the pantheon of the greats and I didn’t…

I found the opening hours of DOS2 to be much more interesting than DOS1. You are mostly confined (for story reasons) to one small encampment for the first 6-10 hours with a very clear objective (escape) that can be achieved many ways. You’re provided ample ways to level up via both combat and questing with a solid…

Fellow twin dad here (2.5 months old)! The Switch has been really nice to play a little here and there with them in the room and not worry about them getting the dreaded TV time from my big screen.

Portability away from home isn’t so much a factor for me either, but yet I absolutely still love my Switch. Why? Because I have a wife and 3 kids and I’m able to play a game next to my wife on the couch in handheld mode while she watches TV, or take my console into the corner of my house or bathroom for a little quiet…

In my experience, the people who don’t enjoy this game to its fullest are generally those who lack a little imagination when interacting with its systems. The game is a giant sandbox with both exploration and combat. If all you do is spend your time running around from bokoblin camp to bokoblin camp, busting up your…

I played the very original back on the PC and never much cared for it. Regardless, I kind of wanted something like Isaac on my Switch to play in between long Zelda sessions so I took the plunge. So far I’ve been glad I did. It’s tremendous fun even though I suck at it right now and generally have no clue what I’m…

To quote you in your previous post, “I’m still not sold on it, myself. Breath of the Wild looks pretty good for the limited graphics.” You then went on to speculate that non-Nintendo games will possibly look like trash. I’m saying there’s no reason to think that, given that Fast RMX already looks very nice and by all…

That’s an unreasonable request to make of a Nintendo system. Their consoles live or die based on their first party franchise titles, of which there are many great ones on the Wii U. Having said that, Splatoon and Bayonetta 2 are some of the best games of the generation and were not established Nintendo franchises.

Ha, you do whatever you need to do in order to rationalize the fact that you can’t play it if you don’t own a PS4... but the game is getting way better reviews than you are letting on and pretty much everyone is saying it’s NOT just another Guerilla Games’ game. It’s going to be one of the better reviewed games of the…

The previous elusive targets are gone and will never come back. But the developers have said they plan on continuing to add new ones for quite a while still. I’ve been a very casual Hitman player dating back to Silent Assassin but Hitman 2016 is the only one I’ve ever truly loved. It’s my favorite game of last year…

I love Eldritch Horror! The biggest advice I could give you regarding the expansions is while the big box ones are great and add a lot of cool stuff, I would almost consider Foresaken Lore, the first small box expansion, mandatory.

Whether or not you’ve actually ever played a Borderlands game, you should play Tales from the Borderlands. It’s their best work imo.

Overwatch has also had numerous beta rounds and an ongoing closed beta with big updates. Unlike those other games, there’s a near constant flow of things to talk about. Don’t just automatically retreat to calling into question the credibility of the staff.
