I am up for discussing any flaws in its narrative. It's doing a lot of novel things in gaming for good story telling. It plays for over 25 in game years that lead to very natural character growth and development. Zero "shocking moment"s or transparent "walking sections for character development". Just effective writing all around. Short and to the point.

Gonna start this for first time. 60 fps all the way. Okish in first few hours. Hopefully it gets better.

No Pentiment either. This is Assassin's Creed chosen list I presume. Pentiment I played while watching Breaking Bad on the side, and I had no issues in coping with story telling, writing etc. Playing Guardian of the Galaxy right now which was front runner last year, and writing/ story telling is just bizarre outside a few cool and extremely funny moments.

Niche? 17 million sales. And is winning GOTY awards basically unanimously.

Play Elden Ring at least.

No idea what world you guys live in. Pentiment is in more top 10 lists this year than GOW: R. I wouldn't be surprised if it wins more awards. I don't track all of them, but case in point, Wired GOTY is Pentiment/ Horizon FW joint award. https://www.wired.com/story/no-more-game-of-the-year/

It's winning here at IVG. Atleast few awards it will manage.

High on Life is superb. It got panned by critics cause it's actually funny

What is sneak? Pentiment is not on list, perhaps due to limited slots. If you want good writing, story telling, that's the way to go. From any standards, not "game story is supposed to be sub par standards".

@RV1709 slow down dude. We know you have been collecting tweets for many days but space it out.

1. Elden Ring 2. Grounded 3. Pentiment

That's what handful means as per Google. But sentence is understandable any ways.

Had my first session with scam gang yesterday. I had a couple of matches with randoms before that, not nearly as much fun. Team work is must in this game to be enjoyable. Ping me anytime you guys wanna play.

True. All first party stuff is day 1 gamepass. I would have liked to pick up Starfield day 1 though. Maybe will get season pass or something.

Sure, give it a shot. It's not for everyone, but if you enjoy it will be great. It has RPG structure that Obsidian puts in their games, that can make big changes to game world depending on choices you make.

Pentiment is definitely worth it. It does a lot of things I have never seen in games. Crafts a compelling narrative with just talking to village peasants. Much harder to do than going all out Marvel with your story. Sure it has murder mystery but that's like 20% of the game. Truly talented, their writing team.

It's expensive if you buy games day 1. I only buy 1-2 games per year day 1. Stuff like Elden Ring. Makes it much more of a special event.

This is how you buy your favourite games. No unnecessary stuff getting collected in your home, while you get to keep it. If a dlc drops it would be ready.

List is pretty good. Most mainstream outlets are so predictable, their GOTY isn't interesting at all. No idea why popularity of outlet is so important. I know handful of outlets, most of them are unknown to me.

Paste Top 30 list. Great list. https://www.pastemagazine.com/games/best-games-of-2022/ 30. Cultic 29. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge 28. Metal: Hellsinger 27: Splatoon 3 26: Weird West 25: Horizon Forbidden West 24: The Last Clockwinder 23: PowerWash Simulator 22: Trombone Champ 21: Iron Lung 20: Rogue Legacy 2 19: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 18: OlliOlli World 17: Kirby and the Forgotten Land 16: I Was a Teenage Exocolonist 15: Marvel Snap 14: Soul Hackers 2 13: Stray 12: Cult of the Lamb 11: Wordle 10: Tunic 9: Vampire Survivors 8: Live A Live 7: Neon White 6: Signalis 5: Elden Ring 4: Pentiment 3: Immortality 2: Citizen Sleeper 1: NORCO A bit curious to see no Ragnorok in the list. But given their taste, understandable.

It's gonna look great on Series S

PlayStation has started doing grunt work of game development. Studios are outsourcing work to one of PlayStation's divisions. This is not first party support with the console.

Vampire Survivors

Xbox has to be the coolest gaming company out there. They even have this

Either he is lying or he is true gamer. My money is on latter.
