The Leftovers was Lindelof without the network pushing him to continual make more episodes and seasons (since Lost got so popular). It was exactly what he wanted it to be and it was near perfect. The amount of incredible moments that show has that aren't the usual 'twist' or 'shock' type moments is amazing. I especially loved the Pastor episodes, his centric eps every season were always my fav. I actually can't believe there are people here who watch both Leftovers and The Americans Some amazing taste gents

Leftovers is amazing, Season 2 is up there with the greatest seasons of a show ever however I would probably still give the edge to BB overall. The only show for me that is possibly as good if not better than BB is Utopia (UK). However it got cancelled after the second season Still so worth watching S1 and S2. Incredible show if you appreciate more than just great acting, writing. It has amazing cinematography, incredible use of symbolism and the way it uses bright colours against super dark themes is amazing. Can't recommend it highly enough.

I usually don't mind that at all, in fact I like it, but this game does it very very poorly. Everyone I spoke to basically had the same text options and said the same thing, there was no real direction in what you should do and when you sort of get the idea what you should be doing it seems like its just sail to an island, get a chest, return it, get gold and be able to buy any of the cosmetic items they had for sail. That is the part that I really don't like. I play heaps of GaaS and have no problem with a grind but I like the reward to be more character progression based as opposed to simply

I literally started the game, ran around some island with basically zero idea what im doing. Hopped on a ship and sailed for 2 min and was like, fuck this.

That's a shame to hear since I'm already finding the rest of the gameplay a bit of a repetitive bore.

RE7 - Godly game. State of Decay 2 - The gameplay loop already starting to wear a little thin but I want tot play more to encounter more human survivor scenarioes Sea of Thieves - Literally turned it off after 15 min. Not in the mood for whatever the shit that was.

Started @JonB1 's GOTY. Too early to give impressions

That looks really good! Seems like they nailed the atmosphere and tone perfectly from what I got while I was reading.

Yeah, you're right. Hopefully they be as loyal to the book and Gone Girl was. Premiering in July. Had no idea it was so close. Really glad I read the book now.

Yeah Amy Adams would be a good casting choice imo. The other two major roles arguably even more important too.

Finished reading Sharp Objects @Ike . Was a fun read, still think Gone Girl is easily her best book but this would be second. If they are making this into a TV show I don't know how they are going to depict certain scenes....Deals with far more iffy subjects for film that Gone Girl

Yeah the value is ridiculous, I mean unless you literally just play one single MS exclusive game a year and zero multiplats, then it is pretty much a no brainer. Even with me just using it for the PC titles it is still worth it. The requirement to have Gold on Xbox makes it lose a tiny bit of it's value but still, it is extremely good. Pretty keen for the Origin Premiere Access pass to, $120 a year for every EA game day 1 plus heaps on their back catalogue. Hopefully this is the future for all publishers. Even if you require multiple subs it will still be more value than how it no

RE7 is ridiculously good. Also just got gamepass but really only for the PC play anywhere titles atm (Was $1 for a month). So will try SoD2 and maybe even Sea of Thieves. Also why the hell isn't Forza 7 on gamepass?

Haha, yeah I could imagine. I'll definitely give it a go in VR, the atmosphere and tension are incredible.

Also just started RE7 for the first time last night. Didn't have the balls to do it in VR yet though but holy shit I am already blown away by the first hour of this game.

Holy shit lol yeah I think I'll give it a pass

Is the plat a pain to get?

Finished Detroit last night. Excellent game. Way better than I expected and tbh I didn't think David Cage was capable of it. Some scenes were not the usual David Cage stuff at all. It is a new standard for this type of game. Speaking to my friend who also finished it and our stories our so incredibly different. This is some illusion of choice like Telltale games are or a simple pick A or B. There is massive changes and implications from the start than effect the entirety of the game. Probably an 8.8 for me and dethrones Until Dawn as the best of it's genre.

Great show.

I'm still very early but it is an interesting start so far. I'll let you know what I think when I'm done.

@Ike, I started reading Sharp Objects btw ;)

About half way through Detroit. Taking my time. Great game.

Detroit

I've only read Gone Girl and Dark Places, with Gone Girl being far better. Gotta check out Sharp Objects. The Gone Girl movie btw is one of the best book to movie adaptions ever.

Not gonna lie, you legit cracked me up there.
