Will def pick up Spiritfarer next time it goes on sale.

13 Sentinels not at #1 like it deserves, but this was about as high as could reasonably be expected.

I can confirm 13 Sentinels gives Kojima a run for his money in the story department

it's barely a game though there's not much actual gameplay to be had

Naw that's super balogna.

Kojima's stuff is fun but the issue is that it's a mess even when told in order.

13 Sentinel's very effectively tells its story from several POVs (with emphasis on twists/revelations being dependent on what the POV character beleives) and jumping around to different points in the story. The actual story and narrarive is completely comprehensible.

Going Rogue is fucking killing me, even though I've never played the original Rogue I've played enough other games of the genre to know pretty much all the basic strategies of how to play safely, and he is basically following none of them. And due to the schedule of when this was all recorded there is no way for Ben to have actually gotten good advice from viewers so he's just gonna die for the same dumb reasons over and over. The polymorph dragon was fucking great though

It only gets better! Once you have a full party and pretty much full access to all the side stuff, the game really takes off

I strongly disagree with the notion that 13 Sentinels is barely a game, and I think Jan and Vinny did a good job of refuting that by talking about how the story can only be told in a game and the strength of the strategy missions.

To add to that, I have a real issue with this game, or even just the story-focused sections, being called a visual novel, as it extremely is not. Even the story segments have you navigating the environment with an inventory you need to use at the right times to progress the story. Overall it has more in common with traditional point and click adventure games than even stuff like Telltale games or Life is Strange. Its a true adventure game.

Yakuza question for those who've played it: Is there enough fan service in the game to the wider series that I would miss a part of the experience by not playing all of the others?

I've played 0, and have started Kiwami, and they're good, but I can see myself getting burnt out over the sameness of them and the combat not being my thing, and 7 seems right up my alley with the JRPG stuff.

I know its a new character and all new stuff, but I can't help but think I'll miss some of the magic by skipping half the series to play it.

Not at all. You will miss some of the history on the various Yakuza factions, and a handful of characters. But I don't think you're missing anything vital.

Ive only played the two Kiwamis which has beeen enough to appreciate a bunch of references, but none of it is really necessary to the experience.

Dan streams are pure insanity and I'll usually check them out every week or two. Sometimes it's too much to watch for long periods of time though, lol

Smashy Bet is the greatest thing Dan has ever done

You need to catch them on the Twitch archives before they disappear forever! No archiving this illegal back alley gambling club! Many of them are just snuck onto the end of other streams to hide them because they are HIGHLY DEGENERATE

I am a Smashy Bet devotee so if you have any questions feel free to ask. This will be the greatest night in the history of our sport.

Stop the Fire Force Five!
