Oh no, Joe! Don't tell me you're turning into Patrick and having an existential gaming crisis! If I have to listen to him talk about what a "waste" of time playing video games is on a video game podcast one more time, so help me...
Thanks man, it's good to be back!
I put Octopath Traveller down. Based on things people have told me since the episode went live I don't think it's what I want to be playing right now. (You can't switch out your first character? What?!) So I started The Witcher 3 for the fourth time and it finally clicked with me. I'm ten hours in and (mostly) loving it.
I saw this on the Xbox store and thought it was one of those crappy clone games like you find on the app store. Nice to know it's solid.
I don't think I've spoiled anything about the story of God of War, just expressed my displeasure for Atreus and the combat camera.
Crap, are you off twitter? I wanted you to DM me about guesting on the show. You can message me here, but it will take me longer to get to it.
A reboot? That's an interesting idea, but I don't think so. I mean, the Bombcast is on episode 542 at this point. I'd like to think the show is easy to jump into; it's just been frustrating getting more people to actually jump into it organically. I know there are some ways to get more eyes on it, but they tend to be shady at best, and usually result in a bunch of twitter bots inflating your numbers, but no actual people engaging.
Weeeeeeell...
I had no problems with him in game play. I think he's poorly written, poorly acted, and generally awful, especially the way he talks like it's 2018 and not the age of vikings.
I think it's a very good game. Not great, not 5 stars, GOTY contender. Good. I have serious issues with that battle camera, the leveling system, and especially the brat, who made me want to quit the game multiple times.
I really need to write a review on God of War to finally get it off my chest...
I'm glad you enjoyed the Final Fight discussion! I wasn't prepared for how many of our listeners would not be familiar with our Pak Watch picks. Like, we weren't trying to get super obscure, but every episode I've had listeners say they haven't played the Pak Watch game.
