whats system shock? Is it the predecessor to bioshock like marathon was to halo?
Pretty much, yeah. It's an immersive sim. The one with the demo right now is a remake of the first game. System Shock 2 is still pretty playable, but the original...not so much. >_>

Alright my personal thoughts on the ones I've played:

System Shock - I haven't played any of the original games (I just beat the new Prey game and I really want to hop on SS2's dick now, though) but this one didn't do much for me. And I do understand this is pre-alpha, so it doesn't have polish I expect it to have later. The main thing I feel is the environment was really bland and running around the different rooms was really boring. Unless the full thing is going to be completely revamped in that regard, it'll probably be a pass from me.

Haven - Charmed me. At first I thought it was a game where I thought the VA weren't necessary, but they both grew on me pretty quickly. The camera could use some work but other than that the gameplay is pretty fun and it's really pretty and I'm intrigued by what their situation is and why they're on the run. Though I'm also confused on how long they've known each other. I had the impression their relationship was pretty long-term and deep but then she didn't know if the guy was a geologist or a biologist. >_>

Spiritfarer - This one...wow. Really, really good looking animation and the controls feel tight and responsive. The gameplay itself is something I'd really enjoy as well, between helping a variety of souls "pass on" while you captain a ship you can decorate and build while doing activities in between voyages. for sure buying this at launch.

Roki - Almost ignored this one and I'm glad I didn't. demo kind of plops you in the middle but I think the protag is looking for her kidnapped brother? It has a nice Scandinavian fairy tale vibe with puzzles you solve by collecting and combining items you find, kind of like in adventure games.

Chicory - Almost ignored this one too and glad I didn't. What's up with the high amount of really charming indie games all of a sudden lol. Music is fantastic and it was fun coloring things in and exploring. You can move around with obstacles by coloring them or erasing their colors, and the dog protag (who I named Alfredo) is adorable.

Eastward - Last one from me. Seems to be a pretty cute RPG with a really classic style. Combat and the puzzles I encountered getting to the first boss were fun, and you can control both of the characters who have different powers.

I read the first first three books and had mixed feelings. At times I really loved it, and at other times I struggled. I personally did not enjoy the combat but I know it's supposed to be a highlight.
I guess it the struggle was often enough that you didn't want to do the final two books?

I'm not a fan of shallan. In the first books, the whole "I'm so smart with my witty jokes and puns" annoyed me.
It was lol. It does seem to be a conscious thing at least, since Jasnah called her out on that very thing. I enjoyed her story a lot more in WoR but then in OB, I don't know. I do get part of it is mental illness for sure, but then it also feels like a big portion of what was going on was magical in nature and it just felt very extreme. It was just really confusing for me mostly.

I agree with you guys that Steris got really fantastic in Bands of Mourning.

Which makes me curious--how did you all feel, generally speaking, about Shallan in Oathbringer? Her storyline in it was really weird to me, and I'd say it's the only thing that would bring the book down for me. I'll be starting a reread soon so maybe when I read Oathbringer for a second time I'll feel differently.

Moar Stormlight is always welcome.

I love Sanderson's world-building, and it's been wonderful to watch him grow as a writer. Some of his early works grate on me kind of heavily now (especially Elantris, but Warbreaker to some extent as well), but his more recent stuff is awesome.

I feel conflicted about his Wheel of Time work, though. I personally enjoyed it, and in fact I think he genuinely left the series better than he found it. But I'm not sure Jordan would have approved of everything he did, yet I know his estate selected Sanderson specifically because of the things he was going to do with the series, and this kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth going in all directions.
What things do you think he wouldn't have approved of?

I really liked it, myself! Incredible combat system, fun exploration, great soundtrack, entertaining story. I feel I'm in the minority of liking the English VA cast, though.

Biggest gripe (and it's rather big) is the gacha system for combat members. That's just...dumb.

I assume he'll spend about half of next year editing and revising the book. Then hopefully he'll do The Lost Metal next.
Yep! He said by the time he's done he'll need to know if he'll need to do any big overhaul editing or not--if so, it would have been early 2021. So the path is clear!

We'll also be getting a State of the Sanderson 2019 really soon in the next week or two, get updates on what his writing plans are. Especially with Lost Metal. ._.

Hot fucking damn I'm excited beyond belief!

It has been almost twenty years since I first outlined The Stormlight Archive, says Sanderson. Back then, I didnt think anyone would be interested in this crazy epic Id devisedand its been so thrilling to see enthusiasm for it grow to such heights over the years. Book four finally gets to one of the foundational scenes I conceived from the beginning. In fact, it might be the very first big scene I imagined, and my favorite in the entire series. A part of me cant believe people are finally going to be able to read it. Less than one year now! Life before death, Radiants.
