Oh nice, my wife got me Hitman 3 for my birthday. I still need to play Hitman 2, but I'm pretty sure you can get the first two games' missions as DLC in 3, right? I know 2 was that way with the first game.

Yeah, MGS3 wasn't nearly as hyped as MGS2 in part because people didn't want a prequel after MGS2's ending and in part because of the backlash associated with MGS2 itself. It took some time for it to grow into its current reputation.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the new Kirby game because it's something my wife and I can co-op together. We played Mario 3D World together when the Switch version came out and had a lot of fun with it. She enjoys video games but doesn't have a lot of time for gaming and usually doesn't stick with it. She's tried playing Uncharted, Mass Effect, and Kingdom Hearts since we've been together and she's just dropped off somewhere in the second game in all of them despite enjoying them.

Thats half the problem. Its the same exact game three times with slightly different cut scenes. Playing once as Terra and YouTubing the rest is enough.

Nah, I like alternating viewpoint storytelling, and I don't mind retreading ground in order to get a complete experience using it.

Yeah, my wife already had a sensitive gag reflex and sense of smell before the pregnancy, and now it's just kicked into overdrive, so she still throws up pretty easily even though she's past the morning sickness stage. It was a bit of a struggle for us to get pregnant in the first place and we know there's a chance this might be the only one we get even though we'd like to have another one and hopefully have a girl, so she's just trying to stay grateful and positive with that in mind.

oh nice! congrats dude. how are you feeling about it?

Excited and nervous at the same time, of course. I know you're never really prepared to have your first kid, but I'm kinda glad we're both a little older and more established with steady jobs and all that.

My mom is super excited since this is her first grandkid, so I know our son is going to be ridiculously spoiled by her. It's also a little bittersweet for me because my dad isn't alive anymore, and I know he would've been a great grandpa.

I'm scared to go to Google for this for fear of spoilers at this point, but does anyone know exactly what parts of this game GRRM wrote? This world feels so Soulsy through and through that somehow the thing that most reminds me of Game of Thrones in all of it is the accents!

from what I can see it sounds like he just wrote the lore for the world and then From Software put their own twist on his framework in the actual game

it doesn't look like he wrote anything that appears in the actual game unless I'm misunderstanding what I've read

I think the difference there is that Herlock Sholmes is very clearly the same dude as the character in the stories, while Castlevania Dracula is not meant to be Bram Stoker's Dracula.

but like I said it's not like we're missing out on a juggernaut if he's ineligible so I'm fine with it either way

Attack on Titan Season 4.5 Episode 3 complete!

Yeah, my wife was convinced that Falco would get turned into a Titan, but he would also become one of the special Titans in the process, so it looks like she was right about that. Eren finally revealed his true feelings, but it looks like Zeke had a backup plan in case he was betrayed. That being said, I don't think the show is headed toward the bad ending where Zeke's plan works, so Eren will have to figure out some way to command Ymir over him. I think Zeke's soft spot in wanting to win over Eren to his plan (presumably as a personal victory over Grisha) will ultimately be his undoing here.

Yeah, I think I largely agree with your thoughts. It was a pretty good main cast. I wound up liking Iris way more than I expected, and Susato is a top tier assistant (probably the best non-Maya one). I like that Ryunosuke really felt like his own character and wasn't just a Phoenix clone. Sholmes is fantastic with perhaps the best set of animations in the series. I always enjoyed how over the top the Dances of Deduction were. I thought van Zieks was a pretty good opponent, although his character arc was pretty predictable. Kazuma's character arc, on the other hand, is...really hard to put into words. I feel pretty conflicted about it.

Are you? I definitely didn't get this impression from the game itself!

Ramza is painted as the true hero forgotten by history, of course, but while Delita is a backstabber and a schemer, he's almost always plotting against people perceived as worse or more extremist than he is, so you generally feel like, "Well, they deserved it." You are never really meant to perceive Delita as "the bad guy." After all, Ramza still views Delita as his best friend, and he always fights on your side when they're together. You never fight against him.

Turns out our mystery player isn't Neku, but Beat! Considering his appearance, that makes more sense. But does that mean he died again or is he here some other way? Guess we'll find out! His voice is throwing me off a bit though. It doesn't sound right. Also we get confirmation that this takes place three years after the original TWEWY.

Hopefully we haven't gone full Kingdom Hearts where Rindo is Neku's Nobody or something...!
