You'd be surprised, that's not really how the game goes at all. The characters are actually super compelling and endearing, and the gameplay is meaty as hell. It's one of my top 15 at least and I can't wait for their next game.

I haven't played it myself yet but I watched the cutscenes and they were the most over-the-top, edgy GOT story beats I've seen in a while. Just did not vibe with the tone at all. The idea that the game is meant to be "adult" when games like Yakuza 7 tell extremely adult stories without characters yelling "cock." Big "this ain't your DADDY'S final fantasy" vibes that just made me cringe.

I'm gonna get it because I treat games like artifacts of anthropological study but Im not looking forward to the narrative so far - couple that with CBU3s terrible track record with women and the fact that the only dark skinned characters are a clear middle eastern, turban wearing parallel lol.

I suck so I stopped. But I'll come back the next time they do a ms. Marvel season and card.

On that note I wasn't too happy with the monthly battle passes. Just felt like way too much of a grind.

Deepest and most fun I've ever had getting into a TCG tho!

Judgement to Lost Judgement is like AC to AC2. it makes the former look like a proof of concept. Better in every single way (except for the plot, but that's because I love both stories). Best active combat in a RGG game to date too. Literally the only con I had is robotics. You'll know when you get there.

Yep!!! A game forum is a subsection of a subsection of people who actually play video games on the regular. The biggest groups of “gamers” are people like my cousin who buy the new FIFA, NBA2k and COD that come out every year.

On top of this Bethesda is one of the biggest game companies out there. It’s easy to forget because Skyrim was forever ago, but that game was so fucking huge that people I knew who didn’t care a single lick about video games asked me when “the dragon game” was coming out and if I was gonna get it and if they should get it too. I’m already getting messages from non-gaming friends asking me when starfield is coming out. The game’s gonna be explosive in popularity when it drops.

Set up an RSS reader, then pull sources. I use:

Polygon - good reviews, good source for non-game stuff

Silliconera and Gematsu - good for Eastern game news. Gematsu is very no-nonsense, no-fluff stuff for the most part. Its YouTube channel is a great source for game trailers as well

Rock, Paper, Shotgun - good for random indies, PC games, opinions from a European org

Apparently this expansion is effectively a 2.0 release that redos pretty much every core system in the game, from traits to police chases to perks, etc.
