I try and not get too disappointed about cut content cause it is usually cut for a good reason but apparently Ada Wong was at one point planned for RE Village dressed like a Bloodborne hunter and man we could have had it all
Arkane Austin deserves better than their finally legacy being fucking Redfall. They made Dishonored and Prey for gods sake. Two of the best games EVER MADE.
Had this amazing moment in Hitman 3. I was blending in when suddenly this women starts talk to 47 about relationship troubles with a friend and he gives her advice.
It's just a really nice moment in an otherwise very goofy game about killing people with a banana.
I can't believe that of all the last generation franchises to try and continue (Halo 5, Gears of War 4, Mass Effect Andromeda), God of War would be one to actually push itself forward and become something greater.
I love that Bethesda is trying something new with Fallout 76's multiplayer. Will it work? Maybe not. But Bethesda style co-op is something I've always wanted and I'm glad they're taking the risk.
And if it sucks? Eh it's just a spin-off. A proper Fallout will still come one day.
I've played though Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, and it's my biggest surprise of 2019. Nothing about it pre-release had me very interested but turns out it's exactly the Star Wars game I've been missing. It is unapologetic in what is, a fun singleplayer Star Wars game.
Spoiler-free thoughts on Kingdom Hearts 3. It brings back the magic, that for me, the series has been missing since 2. It really does feel like a proper sequel in ways in the spin-offs never did. Those are fine games, but lacked the scope, the variety, and the spirit of 1 and 2.
It's been a lot of fun helping out on
@giantbomb
the last two weeks with the Bombcast as well as today's Friday stream. GB is a major reason I wanted to be in video production so feels pretty wild to actually be on it.
ALSO huge thanks to
@_janjerome
for all the prep help!
It really bums me to say I found Callisto Protocol to be disappointing.
I had a great time at first with brilliant atmosphere and combat I found mostly satisfying. But it falls apart in the second half with boring stealth, annoying combat encounters, and frustrating bosses.
Today is my 2 year anniversary working for
@gamespot
. Been the best two years of my life and proud of the stuff I've created and the friends I've made :)
To the people responding that Animal Crossing NH did it first with the mask;
1, new leaf also had a doctor's mask
2, masks have a part of japanese culture for a while
and 3 just having a mask in the game doesn't make it covid related.
I heard that new God of War is pretty good, so for those of you looking for a refresher on the franchise I got you covered with a new history of video.
I did not enjoy my time with Redfall. It lacks everything I love about Arkane’s games and replaces it with a shallow open work, pointless loot system, boring quests and story, and unfun combat. Fails to work on pretty much every level.
I can’t recommend this to anyone.
Also while probably not intentional, I do think it's interesting that setting the game during covid actually justifies why you can skate around these locations completely devoid of other people
Monster Hunter World is my first in the series and I absolutely love it. I was always turned off by the previous games' complex barriers to entry but World feels accessible for newbies in the beginning and makes me want to become a master.
Plus it's so damn charming
Walked through the old floor GameSpot was on pre-pandemic/buyout. It's weird as hell and kinda sad seeing the place I called home for 4 years empty like this
It's amazing how well the Ultimate Spider-Man video game's visuals hold up. I know it will never happen cause of licensing issues but if this thing got a port with widescreen support and a resolution bump it would still look fantastic.
I was outside the games industry when GamerGate happened and it was horrible to watch. I’ve now been in it for 8 years and even though I don’t have much of a platform, it’s important for me to speak up regardless.
Prey (2017) is one of my favorite games of the last decade and none of you played it but now it's on Game Pass with a 60 FPS boost so please check it out I promise it's very good!
We have a new
@gamespot
history of video! This time on the Devil May Cry series. Special thank you to
@afillari
, who wrote the episode.
Its also my favorite we've made so far. We really went all out on the production for it so I hope you enjoy it!
I think Into the Spider-Verse is the first superhero movie I've seen that wasn't trying to get away from it's comic book origins, like it's somehow ashamed of it. It celebrates everything that is Spider-Man while still being it's own thing.
Half Life's 20th birthday is this year! While we all know how important its legacy is,
@michaelphigham
and I revisited the game to discuss if it's actually worth playing in 2018.
I've been playing Tunic and it's one of the rare games where every aspect of it feels nearly perfect. I've had a big stupid smile on my face the whole time playing it and I just love it so much!!
Need to pass the time while waiting for KH3? Or maybe you're new to the series and want to know more about it? Well
@lucyjamesgames

There's some amazing deals happening on PSN. Death of the Outsider is $15 or you can get the whole Dishonored series for $30. Lost Legacy is one of the best Uncharted's and only $20. And Yakuza 0 is only $30!
After a break for a couple months the
@GameSpot
History of Video Games series is back! We're starting with the long history of Spider-Man video games, written and hosted by
@MatPaget
.
After a 6 episode run, my first ever show for GameSpot has ended. I’m proud of the videos we made but sadly it was the worst preforming of all the new GS shows and by all metrics of success we’d need to keep it going, it was a failure…
Thank you to everyone who donated to
@gamespot
's 72 Hour Extra Life stream. We raised $15,420 for the kids. Proud to have put this together and see you all next year!
Today is the launch of a new show
@jacobdekk
and I have been working on!! It's called No HUD and it's about exploring different ways to play video games.
The first ep is all about RE4. I'm pretty proud of this and I'd love if you could give it a watch!
The "History of" series on
@gamespot
now has an official series playlist on YouTube. Go check out the first season now and keep an eye out cause with some luck, season 2 will be starting this week!
Been open about it for a year now but never really officially said it out loud.
My name is Jean-Luc and I’m nonbinary and bisexual, and I hope you have a happy pride 💛🤍💜
