I know they won't pick Dark Souls II so I'm fine with whatever they pick. I was disappointed by most of the games this year so the likelyhood one of those games win is high ha ha.
@fredchuckdave: How the character can just charge through walls and breakable objects like a goddamn space marine is so awesome. That is one hell of a way to find secrets.
The game looks great. The difficulty of the souls games isn't what draws me to them it's the combat and the exploration. From the gameplay I've seen there are tons of hidden areas to explore and loads of weapons and loot to find. I was sold on this game instantly after seeing it in action.
No, but it is unlikely I'll buy them if their not. Just like I don't tend to enjoy depressing movies. But movies with dark themes can still be enjoyable without being depressing as can games with tense and challenging gameplay, which I would still call fun.
I watched the first episode of Kill La Kill and didn't watch anymore. I wasn't really in the mood for something that moved at a breakneck pace and I'm probably still not. I like quiet moments.
EDIT: Also, in the middle of all the Gurren Lagann and Cowboy Bebop recommendations, I'm going to tell you that you must watch Baccano. I've seen that anime several times and I always pick up on something new, and what I have already picked up on is still incredibly entertaining. It's basically what would happen if Tarantino wrote a screenplay about robbing trains and then told an anime studio to see how fucking nuts they could make the whole goddamn thing. And that's really not all there is to it, just watch it.
I didn't really enjoy Gurren Lagann that much. I really enjoyed Kill La Kill so I watched Gurren Lagann all the way through but it just didn't click with me. Kill La Kill on the other hand was hilarious and had some pretty great moments throughout. I might rewatch it now there is an english version.
I think the best way is to change your game purchasing habits so that you only purchase a new game once you've completed/bored of the last one you bought. With steam sales and deals like PS+ it makes it hard, but if you only bought games you were going to play right away, then it would be less about cleaning out a backlog and more about playing games for fun. You would be moving from game to game more naturally and it would make each game more special. I think that's the way I'm going to start living my life.
