Completed Requiem and planning to start either of the following: Deathloop, Pentiment or Somerville
Leaning towards Somerville for now (don't know why). Let's see.

Anyways, can't get wrong with Deathloop. It has annoying start, but ultimately quiet enjoyable.
Pentiment is more of a niche title. Writing reminds me of good HBO shows. You are in a village talking to peasants, can't get any simpler than this. But writing is so natural and enjoyable. Feels like Dev's understand their setting very well and actually been there. I am talking to everyone I can find.

Every video looks more impressive than the previous one.Kinda curious how game will turn out.
Gecko posted above the trailers were made as vertical slice and whole game will not be like this.
It does look too good to be true IMHO.

Looks like most studios under xbox would be churning out "passion projects" only from now on.
No aaa, only passion projects. Hope starfield doesn't turn out to be one as well.
That too is a passion project.
It however is more of a AAAA than an indie.

Also when did Obsidian become an indie studio? Lol.
Only spender can acquire a aaa studio and turn it into an indie bhindi studio.
If you know Obsidian, you will know type of games they excel at and always wanted to make.
This is more of a passion project. This is what Josh Sawyer had to say in latest podcast.
""The old mentality of Publishers and Developers is generally focussed on larger investments with higher ROI (return on investment), and that's not the point in this environment, in this ecosystem."
"(Game Pass) is the only way in which I conceive of (Pentiment) being viable."
"For my own sake, making a game so different, I've completely shifted my thinking for (Pentiment). It is so unusual, so niche, it's for a small audience, and as long as that audience is into it, that's fine." -

So Pentiment is wild and GOW a GOTY nominee is boring. Interesting
There is a thing called pacing.
If I am engaged in reading a book, I don't wanna do something else.
That's how good writing is in Pentiment.
Similarly if I am enjoying combat encounters, walking sections just take me out of experience.

Jeez, maybe make a transportable SFF pc instead? Ridiculous pricing.

The time restriction is kind of lenient. It tells you before hand which events will progress time, so you can obviously choose.
Completed Act 1.
I thought game was murder mystery but there is a lot more to it than that.
I did mess up investigation and I am not sure I caught the culprit.
But Dev's said that was intentional.

Just like spenders "artistic choice" of not releasing even a single game in 2022..
Dude, am playing back to back games released by them.
Currently playing Pentiment, I will reserve judgement till I finish it, but it's definitely going in wild direction.
Pretty amazing so far.

Mine’s a hedonist with medicine, logic and occult. Interested to see where this goes. The dialogue options are hilarious sometimes.
Cool.
I need to check the game to see my background. Those names were confusing
I am hearing time is a currency in the game and you spend it while investigating leads. Wouldn't be possible to investigate everything. Dev's also mentioned whether you caught culprit will be open to interpretation.
Curious to see how that plays out.

Yea a game's storytelling has significant effect on a person than just sitting and watching a show/movie.
Agree, payback from story is higher in games compared to same level of story in shows/movies.
Even a simple well made twist can work wonders in games.

I agree as well. Played about 2 hours with it and enjoyed my time. Those who know their medieval history will probably get more out of the story. I read somewhere that this is Disco Elysium in medieval times but not getting such vibes in gameplay yet.
I am tempted to tell everyone I support Martin Luther and Church needs to modernise.
Maybe in future playthrough.

You need to learn the term "Character development" . Watching on youtube and then judging the game is dumb bro XD.
I am fine with character development. I have issue with length of the section.
As another mod said, let's not discuss this here. People are too sensetive even if there is no spoiler here.
1 hour ago, rushab oswal said:If you dont care about stories sell your PS5 XD
Also stories not good as best Tv shows? RDR2 2018 GOW ? Common bhai dont be like this
Don't have a PS5. You didn't knew that?
Emotional stories /= good stories in my books.
Good TV shows are far above and beyond these tactics of storytelling.
People praise TLOU story as best in gaming. That has a family member die in your arms.
Don't remember any good recent movie or show use that as pivot for entire plot.
Last time I remember seeing something like that is in 1970s in Amitabh Bachchan movies.
It's so old people have forgotten about it, and it's started to feel new again.

Played Pentiment for 3 hrs. Writing in game is stellar. It's set in 16th century Europe and it captures culture and traditions beautifully.
Also talking to every character I can find. Real role playing possibilities here, you can behave in any way you want.

The game literally becomes slide show within first few minutes as soon as the action ramps up. Even low settings dont help. The CPU is constantly at high usage at any settings. Heard it does not run well on Xbox as well...anybody playing this facing the same issues.
Pentiment it is.
Works perfectly on Series S.

Yep, a story recap option on the in-game menu would have added greatly to the benefits of people who have not played the first game.
A friend of mine was asking me the other day if he should just jump into this because he hasn't played the first game but I advised him to play the first one time permitting as it would give him a much fuller and better experience moving into this second game with the backstory understood.
You need a good connection with characters.
Playing first part is a must imo. Recap won't do it justice.

Makes no sense. FH5 won highest no of awards at show by a single game.
https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/forza-horizon-5-it-takes-two-wins-awards-the-game-awards-2021
Bots are perhaps confusing it with Halo Infinite which was outside nomination window. But that won awards that matters, People's choice. So that's cool too.

I didn't judged Stray.
Pretty sure it's fine game for target audience.
I am questioning why it should be nominated for GOTY?
I haven't received any answer yet. In fact no one has mentioned why anyone should consider even playing it once, let alone be a GOTY candidate.

You haven't played Scorn? its 64 on meta.
Not my cup of tea.
But that 64 doesn't stop me.
Maybe some day if I am in mood I will give it a shot.

These are views of entire studio, if we go by the games they make.
