Just so you know, this is a Gust game, which is surprising.
Doesn't Gust usually do these Magical Gril games, or am I thinking of a different company? Seems to fit right in with that.

Gust is known for the Atelier games which I guess falls under the Magical Girl genre? I'm more surprised at the production value of Blue Reflection.

i think i've heard the phrase "magical girl genre" more in the last week then in the rest of my life combined.

I'm really struggling to carry on with Watch Dogs 2 right now. I'm liking it less and less as it goes on. So annoying :(

TAKE IT BACK!!  Loved it way more than Watch Dogs.  Though I actually like Aiden and kinda wish the second had him as the main again.  They could have easily fixed the missteps with his character and made him more compelling.   The second I think was way more about being stealthy and I hardly ever had police or gang chases(which I like better).  It suits the narrative better I think. The first was straight full of chases.

I don't like any of the characters and I usually don't like stealth in games. Uncharted 4 and Watch Dogs were exceptions for that but Watch Dogs 2 is worse than normal. I don't like the stealth in WD2 at all and like you said it has a much bigger focus on it.

I'm totally uninterested in the story as well. Well I say that but there isn't really a story, just a group of missions to play that have completely unrelated plots and no consequences on the game state once they're finished

Horizon

Quote from: Xevross on Jan 22, 2017, 11:48 PMYeah I agree. I think anything 80+ and its not awful but they really should be getting at least high 80s. If its quality enough to end up in the 90s then the game could be absolutely massive.

I think even an 84 or around there would be good. So few new I.P's knock it out of the park on the first go.

See I loved being stealthy in this game cause it was easy to boost out of the way of enemies with the rc jumper and quadcopter. And scout things out.  I will say one complaint is most missions were fairly similar.  I liked all the characters and thought they got much better towards the later half of the game.

 Any more internal impressions on the game you know about, Shinobi? Last we heard it was being reviewed well at Sony.

 
Pretty much. Mock reviews have been very good. Internally I'm told the game is regarded as the best thing coming out of anything first party by senior PS leadership. They're extremely high on it.
 I expect the game do well critically and commercially.
 

it seems internally they think its going to be a hit. i hope it delivers. expectations for this game are REALLY high. both by sony, gamers and the media. when reviews i doubt it will be held to the same standard as another games are (that arent as hyped as much, for example GR2).

That would be the Polygon review. Guarantee you the person reviewing it will either be Ben Kuchera or Arthur Gies.

Well, they hired writers who worked on Fallout: New Vegas and Witcher 3 if I remember correctly. Fingers crossed they delivered.

Well, we'll get previews next monday, that should give us somewhat of a first idea of how the game has turned out.
