@north6: Agreed. I feel like so much of this game just apparently sailed right by them. I'm glad they are finished covering it because its just been such a bummer seeing them so completely miss the mark. Like one example is they frequently complain about how "this looks nothing like America" and of course it doesn't... that is literally the main point of the entire game. The Death Stranding fractured America in both a literal and figurative way. Entire ecosystems have been completely up rooted and changed.
Guess it wasn't for the Giantbomb crew. Luckily, this seems to be the minority opinion about this game still. Very excited to play it alllll day friday.
We must be living in alternate realities because 2019 has been one of the best years in gaming in awhile IMO. How the beastcast crew are finding it not that great is beyond my comprehension I guess.
@mrfluke: Yeah, Witcher 3 is pretty evenhanded about that stuff honestly. Way better than the other games in the series especially Witcher 1 where you literally got "Sex Cards" that you collected for sleeping with various women.
Gears 5 is easily the best in the franchise. Haters be damned. Kait and Del are the two most likable protagonists the series has ever had. And there are so many fantastic good QoL changes. The open sections I find really enjoyable. It changes the pace of the game up which is nice. All the Multiplayer stuff feels great too.
I really like how in some modes they really try to differentiate all the characters to give you different reasons to change up who you are playing as. I played a Horde mode last night as Jack and it was super fun being able to support the rest of my team while they did the most of the grunt work.
I really just don't understand Jeff's take on this game quite honestly.
