It doesn’t die but it does go through a shitload of suffering, sooo...be ready for that.

I really hope that isn’t the case. The whole “Troy Baker plays the deceased father figure conjured up by the daughter figure’s subconcious” metaphysical nonsense barely worked for Bioshock Infinite, and that was a game about metaphysical nonsense.

Vane looks really cool, but I don’t want to get too excited, lest it wind up in the same pile of ‘what ever happened to...’ games as ‘Rime’ and ‘Ashen’.

Ratchet and Clank reboot, when I’m not trying to finally get to the top of that damn shrine in Shadow of the Colossus. Almost there. A few more silver lizards should do the trick, lol.

Gotta give them credit, though, they stayed away from the apostrophes, at least.

And the follow up remark about Windwaker doesn’t exactly seem fair either. That game’s longevity is helped immensley by its art style (and, IMO, probably the best soundtrack in the series), not necessarily by the power of the technology behind it. He also talks about barren, minimalist environments but makes no…

No, but you’ll get more out of it. They pretty much lay everything you need to know about the first in the first five minutes of the sequel. And the DLC for the first one is probably more pertinent to the sequel than the first game itself.

I kind of agree/disagree on the lack of character thing, too. I think Delilah is a pretty decent villain: her back story is supremely fucked up, and paints Jessamine and Sokolov in a less than favorable light. And Meagan Foster...holy shit. Trying to be spoiler free since you say you haven’t gotten too far yet, so…

Start with the first game if you can. It still plays really well, and you’ll get more out of the sequel. The main story is pretty self contained, but the DLC introduces a major character from the sequel. Hope you enjoy it!

It’s a code in the case, but only for the first shipment. When those are gone, it’ll just be Dishonored 2, no remaster. But if you decide to buy it in the next couple of days you should be good without a pre order (just make sure you get a copy with ‘Limited Edition’ printed on the cover). I think you can also get a…

Playing on Xbone. Haven’t had any framerate issues, but the graphics seem a little blurry. All in all, though, the game is great. I can see them implementing some of the lessons they learned while making the first game’s DLC. As someone who felt slightly disappointed with Mankind Divided earlier this year, it’s a…

There’s a few references. You can find Lucatiel’s armor and the body of Gilligan the ladder builder, and Creighton the Wanderer shows up in Sirris’ quest. Nothing to the extent of Anor Londo, the Demon Ruins, or Aldritch eating Gwyndolin, though.

Season Ten’s Villain Revealed!

Just finished Bioshock 2 for the second time (haven’t played it since just before Infinite came out), and I have to say I took it somewhat for granted. That game does a lot of really cool stuff, like the underwater bits and more involved way of dealing with the Little Sisters and gaining Adam. And Eleanor...I feel now…

Truly, he is the god of tits and wine!

I’m not sure critics should be the ones in the cross-hairs, so much as publishers.

Had a problem the other night with the game crashing when trying to leave the shooting range...New Game + on Xbox one. Happened twice during the cutscene where Jensen grabs his stuff from the locker. And last night I had a few really bad stutters during the ARC mission, like near freezes but I was able to keep…

YAAAAAAASSSS! I’ll have to look for that my next time through. And hope they bring her back fully in the future.

Unfortunately for Malik, since it’s possible for her to die in the first game we probably won’t see her again. Personally, I wouldn’t mind if they just said, “Screw it, we like Malik. We know you like Malik. Malik lives is canon.” I think Aria was meant to kind of fill that role, and her character has potential, they…
