I don’t see how that’s a spoiler. Like 95% of video games have characters that die  if Ike specifically mentioned the circumstances of the death or the specific character that died, then that would be a spoiler.

death stranding was pretty cool, they should've cut like 50% of the open world gameplay and make set pieces instead of an open world. the combat veteran stuff which i thought was the coolest story arc in the game was so short. All three parts are like 15min long. The pacing in the game is awful, the beginning is a huge gameplay slog with nothing interesting in it. I can see why people drop this game not far into it.

 

played maybe half of vampyr and I love this game. kinda like my dream game. finally writers put some effort into making characters again. after getting used to the combat I really enjoy that too. this game reminds me of that part in witcher 1 in the beginning after you leave the vizima outskirts and enter the city for the first time. the first part of the city had a lot of going back and forth, talking, investigating shit, some battles inbetween.

 

now playing GODhonored 2.     I picked the daughter as character but then I read she's weaker than corvo? I actually kill every baddie   I play like a mix of stealth first, pick off some targets then rambo down the last dudes in an area

More It Takes Two - I don't think I have ever played a game that has constantly surprised me as much as this game. Every play session I'm blown away by what they introduce. I assume we are maybe 75% in now but this is without a doubt an absolute all time great. 

 

Finished MK11 story mode

 

Slowly started AC Valhalla

Perfectly put! That last area was a blast!!

I think @madmaltese and I are close to the end of it takes 2. Even late in the game, the new mechanics and its incredible level design continue to surprise us. This has been, by far, my favorite online gaming experience.

The problem with It Takes Two is that you need a friend to play. 

 

I never have time to setup games with anyone these days, even online.

Yeah, it took a while for us to set up a time to get started. But damn…it quickly makes a great first impression and only gets better.

Played through Prey over the last week or so. Game was a surprise, definitely a bit of a gem that shouldn’t have flown under the radar. 
 

will probably take a short break before I jump into the Mooncrash DLC.

Yeah its a PS4/Xbone game originally but its on gamepass for Series X now. No reason not to try it if you sub to that.

I'm a big fan of Prey but never played any of the DLC.

apparently, there's one dlc for it that's like deathloop, but better. the concept sounds pretty sick.

Sounds cool.

 

I bought Deathloop on steam but didn't even install it yet. I need to clear out some other games first.

i loved deathloop a lot, so i'm curious as to how the prey dlc stacks up.

What ending did you go for

 

Spoiler

I blew up the station, but apparently thats considered to be the 'bad' ending  The Typhon were fucked up and a major threat to all of humanity, they needed to be erased from existence along with all the research on them.

I started playing Ender Lillies. Not bad so far

Finished It Takes Two. That was beyond epic! 

[madmaltese★ 2,827]

as @-GD-X said, we finished It Takes Two. Superb game, a level of variety and imaginative design that I have never seen before. Easily my GOTY from last year.
