Then the gameplay. And the cruddy female representation. Euugh.
Yeah, you're right there.
But dudes with car was still pretty fun.
And the game was beautiful to look at.

FF16 has the writing team from FF14: Heavensward and the combat designer from Devil May Cry 5.
I might be back into the FF standalones....

FF: Road Trip got me to tear up at the end. The end story was wonderful.
Delete the Hog Pit. It'll be fun.
I really don't understand He-Man

Hour and a half until EA on BG3. I think the waiting is going to kill me. I took today off from work for this. So excited.
Monster Camp just came out and a friend got it for me. It's just as fun as Monster Prom and some good silliness. Much recommend.
(I am also super pleased I get to pursue Joy finally.)
Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.
@Auspice YASSS. I have spent 100% of my time going after Joy. I haven't been successful yet. Monster Camp is so good though. Love Milo too.

I got her first try! I focused on creativity, smarts, and charm. I'm not sure which two did it but I pulled it off.
Failed my attempt at Damien tho. XD maybe he isn't fun/bold anymore like he was in Prom!
I've been playing far too much Hades lately. Supergiant can't seem to make a bad game if they tried.
Also, been fanboying way too hard for Nyx.
Booted up Far Cry 3 because -- I had never played it. Yeah, I know. Shut up. Having immense fun with this game. 
@Cassite I wish I could be or even write as graciously as Zagreus speaks most of the time.
Anyone playing Among Us? I'm having a bunch of fun with it lately. It was never on my radar until someone linked me AOC playing it, and it seemed a hoot. Which it is!

I'd imagine a large portion of the board is playing. It's become pretty much the single most popular game during the pandemic (largely in part due to ease of entry: free on mobile and easy to learn). There's charts showing it skyrocketing past Fortnite, Minecraft, etc. in downloads.
I'm glad to see it doing so well! I discovered in back in February-ish due to SR_Kaif (UK streamer) and it's been awesome having so many more people to play with.
Control on Switch? As a cloud game? Whaaaat?
There's a free demo (five minutes only, which is understandable since it's really just to see if your network can handle it) and damn if it isn't just beautiful and responsive. I've played games on a cartridge that had more input lag.
If this is a future for Nintendo I'm into it. Bring on Cyberpunk 2077 Cloud Edition.

Stadia will have it. Some of the others too I bet.
I, too, have been lost to Hades. Really glad I only found out about it after the full release, this game is slick as hell and every single character is fantastically written.
And my god, the feels.
Such a good job.
While I love the setting and the characters in Hades, I find the pacing and game design to be a little lacking. Only three levels and they shoot up in difficulty very quickly. I preferred Enter the Gungeon's five.
