I really enjoyed the open world part of this game. It played like a good buddy movie, which is a theme I did not know that I wanted in games, but want to see more of now. Driving around in the Regalia, stopping for photo-ops, camping under the stars at night, breakfast in the morning, it just felt fun.
I lost interest in the last third or so when it went more on-rails. I still beat it, but for how strong I thought the first part was, the second part really disappointed me.
I admire Dan's good nature. I think most people would get upset after a while if someone kept talking as much shit as Jeff does about something they liked. Dan consistently laughs it off though and seems genuine about it too.
Also, I'm not knocking Jeff. His shit talking totally makes this video worth watching.
I picked this up a couple of days ago, it's good fun. It's on sale on Steam for another day for $6.65, which is a steal if you ask me. Even the full retail, $9, is good for what you get. If it looks fun to you, don't hesitate to pick it up.
I have got to play this. I remember Alex raving about it when it originally came out, but I was preoccupied by other things at the time. The humor is right up my alley.
Boy, that sure was... something. I can't say that I thought much of the game itself, but you guys kept me coming back every day with your entertaining banter. I'm impressed by how diplomatic Vinny was at the end.
I really enjoyed this game when I played it ~a year ago. I'm replaying it with my fiance now (she's making the choices while I control) and she is totally hooked. She doesn't play games at all, other than probably Mario or something when she was little, maybe not even that, but she loves how Until Dawn looks like a movie and she likes choosing what the characters do. So, yeah, this is a great s/o game, even if your s/o isn't normally into them. Also you can get it for <$20 used now, totally worth it.
@fredrikb: I remember seeing it in an LP of an early preview build by Quill18. It looked good. I've never found it too useful myself in V, but would consider using it at times in VI, based on what I saw.
I'll second The Witch, I really enjoyed that one. Not really horror, but still atmospheric. I don't think that the director/producers set the horror expectation for it, but more-so critics. The trailers don't really make it seem like a horror movie in the traditional sense. On the other hand I read multiple reviews referring it as such.
Another good horror/not horror movie that is definitely creepy and has good atmosphere is The Orphanage. That has a great twist at the end as well. My fiance and I also watched Pet Sematary recently and it holds up. The acting, for the most part, is pretty atrocious, but it's eerie as hell.
*edit* And if you want fucked up: A Serbian Film.
@tevor_the_third You can also purchase scrolls that have the spell inputs n them from the old man in the library.
