Damn, reading Kotaku's first impressions is really making me want to preorder again, especially the part about the beta not doing the actual game justice.

Yeah, my wins have only ever been in Fall Mountain and Royal Fumble. I've managed second once or twice in Hex-a-Gone, but I just don't have the patience to hop for that long and not screw it up.

Kamala rules

I will admit, I did like the awkward dad-daughter dynamic Bruce and Kamala had going on from what I saw in the beta. Maybe I'll pick it up on the cheap later on for the campaign.

Also, I like Kate Bishop, but bow and arrow people for two of the first three new characters?

Nah. I was on the fence, so I preordered it to try out the beta and it was just kinda dull. I actually did like Kamala and how she plays, but the combat is so repetitive and the levels werent interesting and went on way too long, so the thought of having to replay those same levels over and over, as you do in GaaS games, made me cancel my preorder.

Everything Ive heard since has put me off too, the paid battle passes for an already full price game, the Spider-Man exclusivity, special variant costumes being locked behind which internet and phone provider you have, Hawkeye being the only other confirmed character to come. Nothing that made me excited. Its a bummer as I was looking forward to this game when it was announced.

So, apparently theres a special event in the game that only happens tomorrow. Guessing thats stamp 400. Seeing as how tomorrow is when I was going to put up the final part of my play through, I might as well record it and tack it onto the end of the episode.

I just did it. You get a sidequest to collect 10 flowers, then there's a short cutscene with York placing a wreath of flowers onto the Mississippi river that float out to join a load more. It's quite sweet.

It also unlocked Stamp 400, which means that all the people who were grinding stamps hoping to unlock some extra special story event now only have, at best, a suit to look forward to.

No, nothing so severe. I got the standing while driving glitch a lot, mostly with Danny. And occasionally the air-chair glitch. I also repeatedly got the glitch where animations wouldn't start, both in cutscenes and NPCs in the wild. One time I smoked to pass time and the camera didn't pan up and smoke just started billowing out of York's head. I think I was stone skipping once and Patti wanted to go home and I got stuck once. That was probably the worst glitch I had, I think.

Honestly, I wish it was just performance issues and glitches that I had a problem with.

I'm still working my way through FFVIIR, TLOU2 and Deadly Premonition 2, so probably Ghost of Tsushima so far? I put a lot of time into ACNH too, so that's up there and RE3 was a blast while it lasted. I also started Horizon Zero Dawn and Spiritfarer in the last week or so and I'm enjoying both of those a lot too.

Update: Not Deadly Premonition 2.

i have a lot i want to say about the game here but 2 days ago I happened to watch this video and it says everything for me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJTnIRqdOjI

I liked DP2 but boy am I disappointed overall

it got me to rewatch twin peaks tho

I wouldn't normally watch a movie length Youtube video on recommendation, but I'm still so disappointed with this game that I did and... yeah, covers a lot of my problems. In fairness, I didn't run into quite as many bugs as he did, but I definitely hit some.

My biggest complaint, now that I've had time to think on it? Not once do we see York under his bed covers. Not once. For shame, Swery.

Yeah, but that's only an argument if they had previously made a big budget live action Resident Evil that actually followed the plot of the games that had bombed. If anything, if they can sell so well despite being terrible, they've got nothing to lose by trying to actually follow the plot of one of the games.

Two timelines and neither sound like anything from any of the games. What is it about Resident Evils plot that makes people not want to adapt it properly?

Deadly Premonition is probably a top five game of all time for me. DP2 isn't even a top five game this year.

The characters and tone are all great, but the story just feels unfinished. I mostly enjoyed the journey, assuming there would be a great pay-off at the end like the first game, but the ending was a mess. The third act is resolved super anticlimatically due to a convenient lightning strike? What was the point of the Goddess of Fertility? She just shows up and dies almost immediately. Then the big twist is that the tall guy is, shock, the tall guy? And no-one finds Lise's body for 14 years because... no one thought to look for her? She wasn't even that well hidden! Her dad owns the building and in 14 years never thought to look in in the basement? And when they do find her, they don't arrest the guy managing the building? And what was the Clarkson blood curse, really, other than something Lena decided was a thing? And why didn't Patti have the curse if, supposedly, her blood was more concentrated with Clarkson blood (even though that makes no fucking sense, as she'd have the same amount of Clarskon blood as her parents)? And the point of cutting up and posing the bodies is that if you line them up in a specific way in the same room, they sorta made the shape of the Red Tree symbol? What was Kaysen's plan at the end? Get Aaliyah to slowly shoot York while he... danced? In front of the ONLY GUY WHO CAN SEE AND KILL HIM? Swery didn't even answer the one plot point he had to cut from DP1, which was what was the deal with Willie?

I also have some miscellaneous complaints:

• Why did no one ever ask York about his scar?
• What was the point of drum?
• The sidequests were super disappointing and unrewarding and don't get me started on the stupid ass 'Stamp' system. Locking all my suits behind that nonsense.
• The open world and combat sections added literally nothing. This game would have been just as good had it been a visual novel or something more akin to a Telltale game or Until Dawn or something.
• Stop interuppting unique dialogue because I stubbed my toe or some shit. The amount of time I missed out on unique conversations because York bumped something or I picked up a shiny or whatever was infuriating. You basically had to stand stock still and listen to the dialogue for fear of accidentally interrupting it. I even missed most of Kaysen's monologue at the end, because it told me to hold forward on the analogue stick. In the first game I could flip my car on its roof and York would just keep going.
• Why does York seemingly forget almost everyting about Le Carre during Greenvale? It's implied he's familiar with the Otherworld and the red seeds, but he never mentions anything about the Red Tree or the red seed's effects, etc.
• Why do they spoil the reveal of Patti's surname immediately? That could have been a cool moment when we found out and instead it was just like 'yeah, and?'
• I really hate the narrative device of Houngan. York does ZERO actual detective work in the game, he just blindly follows the Oracles and then is constantly asking 'why did no one tell me this' when he finds out basic information he could have discovered if he just bothered to ask.
• Also, the 'puzzles' in the game are all worthless. Like opening the door to Lena's lab is the dumbest shit. It's impossible to figure out, so York just monologues then tells you the answer then yells at you to input the answer over and over until you do. Just make it a cutscene! Same for the Oracles, they sometimes give you one location to choose from and still react like you cracked some incredible code
• We never found out the deal with Ocra Boy...

I've read some stuff that suggests that Aaliyah was originally supposed to investigate Le Carre in 2019 in parallel to York in 2005, but it got cut in favour of the extended 'sit n talk' sequences in Boston and that makes a lot of sense. It really feels like a lot of her stuff was cut, including what was totally supposed to be a boss fight with Tree-Zach. Also the fact that during the funeral scene at the end, Danny hasn't aged at all and is wearing the exact same clothes again suggests that they just ran out of time. Also explains why the story is so disjointed and they outright spoil things during the Boston sections.

Really bummed, as I was hyped for this and it completely failed to stick the landing.

Had some nice karma where someone was waiting at the finish line with 29/30 qualified, obviously intending to wait until someone was just about to reach the end then finish and eliminate them, but everyone else took so long to even get close, that the game just ended suddenly on 29 and eliminated the guy.

I think the fruit game would be better as a true memory game. I don't know why it works the way it does where you're shown the symbols each time.

Instead just have it show all the symbols in the beginning for a decent amount of time, then for the rest of the game just cycle through different fruit, so people will have to rely only on their memories until the game ends. Have it constantly speed up as the rounds continue and eventually make it so it becomes extremely difficult to keep up regardless of what you remember forcing you to think quickly and require you to have the reaction time to make it to a correct space at all. Continue until the eliminations arrive, even if it's just by sheer exhaustion.

If they stayed the same and you had time at the start, assuming they only did, like, five or six different fruit, you could just write them down. Although, with the 10 seconds they give you currently, I guess you could do that anyway.

I loved BotW and still do, but the rain did suck. Only thing you can do is find an overhang, build a campfire and pass time until it clears up.

And there are several sidequests which give you pieces of armour. And a house! And the village building sidequest was a lot of fun.

But yeah, the shrines are where the game shines, so just focus on them if you want. The reward for doing all of them is neat.

You're not alone, but you're certainly in the minority. And that's fine. Not every game is gonna appeal to everyone. If you don't like it by now, I doubt much is gonna change if you keep playing. If you're really determined to finish it, maybe just focus on the story elements and then take on Ganon?
