Am I right in thinking you gain insight also when lvling up? I have 6 insight but have only picked up two mask thingies.

Me too!

Wait, I didn't know you could store stuff. Where do you do that?

Dr. Pezus · Mar 28, 2015, 05:01 PM

Which class and weapon do you have?

You get 1 insight for discovering a boss, and then an additional 2 for killing it. Items and other things also give you insight, but I'm pretty sure leveling up isn't one of them.

Oh okay! Interesting.

Zelda delay gives BB even more of a chance to win GOTY. Only Batman to compete with now I believe

The class really isn't that important, it's how you decide to level up that's important.

I'm still using the Threaded Cane and am making a Skill build.

It's still going to be a tough year for Bloodborne. Pillars of Eternity and Ori and the Blind Forest are already contenders. Though I think Ori is probably on the lower end at this point. Arkham Knight and Witcher 3 will probably be contenders, too. If Persona 5 releases this year there's a good chance it could give it a challenge. If The Division is as good as the trailers have made it seem that could be another one to watch out for. Though I'm starting to doubt it will release this year. We also can't forget Battlefront which was said to have received a standing ovation at its behind-closed-doors viewing. fudge. So many potentially huge games this year that we know of and already three games that are GOTY material.

Nice. I have two melee weapons and two guns.
One is the axe that you can make longer and the other is the sword+hammer.

@Raven: Ori doesn't have a chance really. Pillars of Eternity might but since it's PC exclusive and kind of niche in comparison I don't think it will come close. Witcher 3 will probably review in the high 80's.
Oh yeah, if Persona 5 comes out this year in the west it does have a chance. Don't think it will though!
Battlefront will probably be great, but it needs to be amazing to be GOTY material.

Even if Witcher 3 reviews as well as Witcher 2 did, that's still plenty for GOTY even over Bloodborne. Rayman Legends scored in the low 90's but Inquisition, which scored high 80's, pretty much swept GOTY awards. Though to be fair, Rayman Legends, despite critical reviews, never really generated much consumer enthusiasm. Nowhere near as much as Inquisition. Pretty much the same situation I think Ori would have been in regardless. Bloodborne is definitely the current front runner for GOTY and it's looking really good. I honestly think that even if Arkham Knight is amazing and manages to score higher, Bloodborne will still win over it. The combination of technically being a new IP, being a hardcore game, and doing better than most predictions will turn it into the "darling of the ball".
