This is the first time I’ve talked about TLOU 2 in I can’t even remember how long. It wasn’t even hyperbole when I said soul-sucking; this is the only game I played where I felt immediately sapped of joy playing it. People are allowed to voice their opinions when the topic comes up.
The only thing soul sucking is reading the exact same comments over and over again about how the game poisoned our water supply, burned our crops and delivered a plague unto our houses, two years after the game's been out.

Yesterday's Netflix Geeked Week Gaming showcase was wild.
I will admit that Geoff Keighley's presence and link to Summer Games Fest made the event feel more "real" and less "corporate" with how much he'd reference other game similarities or other SGF events so far -- all the other Geeked Week events have felt self-centered for Netflix. Like a "We are the center of the universe -- there is nothing but Netflix content" mindset that felt very off.
His stunned reaction to a "Too Hot To Handle" dating sim game was hilarious. Felt like he was seeing the end-times of video games. I'd be willing to agree given how shovel-ware the footage looked.
As expected, Oxenfree is coming to your mobile device in the future, given this preview
I still think Netflix keeping some of these games to mobile devices is bad. I'm not a mobile gamer, I don't feel comfortable playing games on a phone. This feels like a dumb Quibi move all over again.
There's rumors that we'll get a God of War Ragnarok announcement at the final week of June. Reports say it's still a November 2022 game, but could still be pushed to 2023.
Absolutely fair and I'm not saying you can't voice your opinion at all but the negativity certainly gets tiring after two years of pretty much the same comments from a variety of different people lol.

Tbh I think I was just irked that the first game is being renamed part 1 and that subconsciously compelled me to respond. Now that I look back I was being too negative.
I don’t think fondly of part 2. I believe it deserved all the hate it got (the game not anyone involved in it), but I get negativity in general is draining. It’s a sense of betrayed passion. Hate for games like the last of us 2 or the clem comic is just wounded love for the stories that came before them.
In a way it’s awe-inspiring that fiction can elicit those kind of emotions and investment.
Truly tells you how horrible the game is ¯(ツ)/¯
Fuckin' gottem
Absolutely fair and I'm not saying you can't voice your opinion a… more all but the negativity certainly gets tiring after two years of pretty much the same comments from a variety of different people lol.
The trailer specifically focuses on Amicia killing people, with Lucas pretty much begging her to not to kill and then later with her fearing what she's turning into. There's also that bit at the end with Amicia telling Hugo to summon the rats to attack. I wonder if this means that there'll be some sort of morality system in the game, where you can avoid killing enemies.
Woooooo! New trailer for A Plague Tale: Requiem!

I am more looking forward to this than TLOU remake.
The fact this game looks more badass and beautiful and amazing is why I am looking forward to it. Need to back replay the first game. Also morality is awesome to play in games. I don't think I would kill everyone in the game especially who knows,what these enemies life is like. Like Metro Last Light gave me some good feels over what form moral person you are. I liked that a lot about it and it was awesome. I think this game is going to be very challenging and good to play.
Btw? Lol yuppp that TLOU remake looks sooooooo damn bad.

It's just very unnecessary and the price is unjustified.
Well they care about money and yup unnecessary for anyone who just says the normal Last of Us game. Remakes like this one? Yup nothing more than cashing in on the hype of The Last of Us. Oh yes that price is Bullshit! Lol like what?!?
Even if I was excited for this remake, I would still be like "Fuck you, not giving you 70 bucks just for upgraded graphics, the ability to prone and the useless jump button"

After all these years, Starfield gameplay. There's ship customisation, you can fill a ship with a crew of your choosing, more in-depth settlement building along with resource gathering, over 1000 planets to explore, humans characters that actually look like humans and the visuals don't look like they're a generation behind.
Bethesda RPG's scratch that itch that other RPG's can't so I'm looking forward to this. Also the mods.
It's like Bethesda looked at No Man's Sky and thought, "We could probably do that."
This one looks really funky. The use of 2D human characters with a cartoon filter that have 1 frame of animation per second look really weird alongside the actual proper 3D animation. The visuals put me off but them showing a big story tree and how seemingly varied the outcomes can get intrigues.
It's pretty much Arkane's take on Left 4 Dead but with vampires. Gameplay looks solid as usual and I really like how they showed the potential for teamwork in this with the abilities. Not too sure about the writing, especially at the start where it's shown as much more spooky but then turns into something more goofy.
Definitely wasn't expecting this to be an Obsidian game but I really like the look of this. I love the middle ages tapestry art style.
It looks cool! I wish there were more stealth games and the art style looks good. Reminds me a lot of the first Aragami game.
Really like the visuals in this, especially the enemy and boss designs.

Oh wow didn't even catch that. I wonder if it'll be like how Supermassive Games handles co-op, where each player is assigned a certain character and when that character pops up, it just passes the controls over to them. I can't think of any other way it could possibly work.

Honestly when I heard the whole thousand planet thing I immediately felt a feeling of not good. There is just no way any of those planets will feel completed and it feels like this is really "4 actual planets and then fluff." Would really love to be blown away and it turns out all these other planets really feel alive but I don't think I can see it. Reminds me like how Skyrim had infinite quest but it was really "please kill x beast in area out of 3" over and over again or Fallout's "Please help settlement " quest. So I assume a lot of those planets will be used for that stuff, so if thats the case, I really hope there is a lot more than just 3 of the infinite quest and that they are a bit more than go from point A do thing at point B return to point A.
Basically I hope they have some more complex procedural generation this time because in theory it should work great, but logistically I can't see it. (So please open my eyes Todd)

It's like Bethesda looked at No Man's Sky and thought, "We could probably do that."
I'm definitely expecting the thousand planets to really be maybe 5% actually inhabited planets with things to look for, another 5% of mostly empty planets with some quests here and there, and 90% randomly generated barren planets with some alien animals where you can collect resources and build stuff. Then there'll probably be DLC after the release to expand on a few more things.
It's very expansive and ambitious and I have my doubts that they'll really nail it all down, but if they somehow manage to pull off making even 20-25% of these places interesting then I'd already call that a win.
Also I can't wait for someone to port the entirety of Skyrim onto one of these planets.
I can see it now. You try to land on a mysterious planet called Skyrim, but your ship malfunctions, you crash into the planets surface and black out. You soon awaken to find yourself on the back of a horse carriage, surrounded by several other men. Then one of them calls out to you, "Hey, you! you're finally awake!"

Not entirely relevant, but I did come across a NintendoLife video recently that critiqued and pinned the lackluster SummerGameFest show on a few good points.
Mainly, it was the pacing, the structure, and the Random unedited Dwayne Johnson Promo that kinda made it a bore, and I'm willing to agree. We didn't need to cut back to Geoff and Friends after every reveal, we didn't need 3 sci-fi horror trailers in the span of 15 minutes, the show didn't need to be over 1.5hours and we didn't need a freakin Movie trailer lol.
Tomorrow though I'll check out the Wholesome Games Stream and see if there's anything nice on there to point out. I've heard much of it unintentionally features lots chickens and frogs, so that should be fun to see.
It is a bit strange knowing it'll become an in person event like the game awards. Unless theres a big production change, I feel that'll be pretty weird.
That said, really hope Game Awards get better. I know they probably won't, but man last years really were kind of bad. Awards and announcements during pre-show I always find to be super disrespectful (like congrats dude, you're thing aint even good enough for the real show looool) crap ton of ads, "We are bigger than music and film industry! So here is a bunch of famous celebrities from those industries instead of people in our industry!" and "Whoa buddy, looks like you're acceptance speech is reaching 20 seconds, better wrap that up!"
I know its same old thing every year and I will say Game Awards are better than pretty much any other award show, but still. It used to have a bit more of an event feel to it, last few years that "eventful" feeling ain't really been the same.

It'd be funny if you still couldn't see his face. Like if you turned the camera around he'd turn his head or a lens flare would block it. Then in cutscenes there's always an object conveniently placed to obscure his face.

There is a Capcom Showcase about to happen in thegameawards channel, at 1:00 AM in my timezone. PLEASE, GIVE ME RESIDENT EVIL VILLAGE DLC!!!!
I wouldn't be surprised if we do see RE8 DLC, though, keep in mind for any other hopes aside from that that the showcase will focus mostly on already announced things, though there will apparently be "1 or 2 announcements", I'm hoping for something Ace Attorney related myself.
That's it. Capcom is the winner of this month, especially for a Resident Evil fan like me. We got:
This is by far my favorite video game conference of this month. I couldn't be more happy about this.

@AronDracula The Spirit and the Mouse give me a lot of Ratatouille Game Vibes. Very Puzzle-Platformer-like
Wholesome Games
I need that mouse game. Depending on when it releases, it could be a palette cleanser after playing the sequel to A Plague Tale.
