I think TLoU2 is the best game on the system, but I also recognize as a game it reached a smaller audience and was a more controversial overall. Basically everyone loves Sushi Ghost and agrees that it’s beautiful and fun to play, except for people who were already super bored and burnt out on open world games.

the game of the generation is actually genshin impact. open world and designed to extract as much money as possible from the player. the two cornerstones of eighth-gen game design

Also TLoU2 still beat out Sushi Ghost at TGA. I mean, it was the video game equivalent of Oscar bait, but it was still a close race and in the end I think we all know that TLoU2 was special in a way maybe no other game in 2020 was, except maybe, I dunno, Hades? It’s the only other game that has the same level of polish applied to both gameplay AND story. Like I love Sushi Ghost but I feel like I read the story on the back of a bag of rice at the grocery store, it was so paint by numbers and it’s use of Asian Honor tropes was truly exhausting by the end (even if the ending made me cry because I’m a baby who cries at games and movies now, apparently)

TLOU2 is the best game I’ve played in forever. All the anti-women/anti-trans talk surrounding it is gross and mortifying and thankfully mainly on terrible places on the internet.

TLOU2 is extremely good and so is GoT. But while the former has an already known and pretty grim setting, the latter introduces a setting that hasn't been depicted on the PS4 before in a absolutely lavish beauty. TLOU2 has better water and a more realistic style, but GoT nails the hyper-stylized Japanese landscape aesthetics and adds clever new tricks like the wind as your GPS guide. I enjoyed both games, but since my last big trip before the pandemic was to Japan, GoT's setting moved me in a way that is hard to describe. It's romanticized Japan in perfection with its red autumn leaves, ancient shrines and moss covered tombstones.

I burned out on open world games in 2005. I literally have no idea how I ever finished Death Stranding because most open world games crumble off of me at the 30-40 hour mark, I simply can't stand the old GTA quest-giver narrative structure. The Witcher 3 and Horizon are among the quality open world titles that have died in my care. Bust Rodd posted:

Hey everyone check your playstation rewards account I checked mine again last night and had yet another $20 worth of points. That makes $80 in free PSN money since a couple months ago I get the impression most people don't even know the program exists. But if you have an American playstation account, you already have a Rewards account and probably can get literally several free games!!!!

Finished Syndicate with about 70% of the trophies and can’t be bothered to do the rest (they’re doable but tedious). Hopping back into Nioh until Hitman 3 is out.

What happens? Does the game just tell you to turn around if you try to go too far? GreenBuckanneer posted:he makes a bunch of comments on even the most trivial of side content I meant if you don't get to the story part of the game where you meet him. But it sounds like the game just doesn't give you those quests yet. I'm like 90% of the way through all of the content so I have seen all of his appearences.
