    Speaking of Beyond, I'm in the middle of Somalia. How many more hours do I have left?

    I've had a lot of problems with it but I'm anxious to see how things end.

    How was that even a burn

    I was excited for Beyond, but then it was boring

    because you're dismissing low-gameplay, high story games outright when you were previously very excited about a game that was always going to be one of those

    the story ending up being weak was just david cage's fault, not the design itself's

    Is he not allowed to take it back

    also Maximum the end of Somalia has the David Cagiest moment of shitty plot logic ever, and I'm tempted to see if you spot what it is

    tell me when you're at the end of all of it

    I don't really even think gone home is a low gameplay game. It just isn't mechanics heavy. But it is super fascinating and interesting to explore that house. I call that good gameplay.

    Sweet! A quiz.

    It'll be later tonight. If it's only two hours, I may even finish it tonight.

    Even is someone who totally disliked it, I feel like people should definitely try it.

    It is an experience, to be certain.

    Just not one I enjoyed at all.

    I'm really liking Beyond. It's less guided then I thought too, I watched the QL and stuff in the training went differently for me a few times.

    Also since we started talking GotY, right now I think mine is Bioshock Infinite. Though that might be because I'm still basking in the sweaty afterglow of actually being able to beat the game. I just think it's great fun to play, especially if you mix up the vigors rather than relying on shooting. It might have been ham-fisted in places, but I think it had enough really good story moments to justify the average ones. And it had an ending that is actually worth beating the game for. I don't see many other games interesting enough to warrant a 2 hour GB stream just about their ending.

    The fight's not even especially challenging or fun in and of itself

    But the new Ganondorf is so well-designed and the combat arena is just so cool to look at, and the lighting on all the hits makes it feel like something huge is happening

    And then out of nowhere the most brutal thing that's happened in any Zelda happens in the one that was maligned for being "kiddy"

    From what I've seen of each, this is probably a good enough order actually.

    The trailer for 2 was set to Justice, iirc.

    Some of the best trailers use music that isn't period of setting appropriate.

    Like the Bartholomew trailer for Dark Souls.
