Prey, Nier:A, Wolfenstein II, Horizon ZD - These are the games that should have been discussed here. Not Zelda, not PUBG and for the love of f!ck, not Mario Odyssey, Cuphead and Battle Chef!
Jesus people, you guys are meant to be professional games journalists, you're meant to know this shit!
@psyghamn:I don't appreciate the implication that my opinions are based on the fact that they are women in the games industry.
Well, that might be because you keep referring to them as women.
You don't keep telling people about your gay mate, or your black colleague at work, or your trans real estate agent... that's the whole point of those mere facts being irrelevant, in that you don't have to emphasise those facts, but you obviously are choosing to say things like, 'those women'. You aren't writing, 'those men'.
Sadly I find after watching all these streams, including Rory's where he came 2nd in the first round he played... that Battlegrounds is a pretty average game to watch.
It's 20minutes of gathering loot and running around, with about 30 seconds of combat, which may or may not have terrible netcode. If you're unlucky you die straightaway with nary a clue where the attacker is.
I can imagine playing it is quite the treat however. That said, I think I'd like an accelerated version as an option as Jeff was talking about on the podcast, even if the tension doesn't ratchet up so much. Hmmm
UN Squadron seems very familiar to me, even though I don't think I ever played it. What's going on here.
Godamn UN Squadron and Top Gear (+TG2) are basically the best soundtracks of the 16bit era for me, perhaps along with Super Metroid. Ah sweet, sweet RSN love.
