The fact that Deathloop just got 10’s from some of the more mainstream media outlets definitely caught the attention of my friends who don’t consume video game news, podcasts or steams. That’s triggered them to scroll metacritic to read a couple critical reviews and some user reviews to decide if the game is a fit for them. I think there is a good chunk of players like them where traditional reviews still provide important buying advice for those not engaged in other types of game coverage.

Really looking forward to picking up a PS5 but holding off as long as possible to get past the first run jitters. I would be ecstatic if Sony released a refreshed model with more storage and in black this fall but not sure how realistic that is.

@zoofame: so so happy to see the Porsche Unleashed love. What a classic.

Doom, Hades and Last of Us are at the top of my list. Getting pulled deep into Ghosts of Tsushima too. If the momentum holds it may finish near the top.

What’s everyone picking up on the Steam Halloween sale this weekend? I’m eyeballing Ghostrunner, Black Mesa or possibly Deep Rock Galactic though I don’t have any pals that are interested. Also lots of American Trucker maps for sale. 😬

Ghostrunner has my attention. I love when late year surprises pop up like this.

Writing like this is quickly elevating Giantbomb from my favorite gamesite to my favorite website. Thank you Austin and the entire Giantbomb team for all that you bring to your community and the broader World Wide Web.

I think the time for me to place an Xbox one next to the PS4 has come. Early reviews of Sunset Overdrive are looking positive, Forza Horizon 2 looks fantastic and Alexis and Drews' halo marathon has gotten me excited for the master chief collection. Now to decide which bundle makes the most sense.

If Nintendo were to confirm SNES virtual console play I might be compelled.
