Finished after 23 hours, although the in-game clock said 15 hours. I think the Steam time is definitely closer to the truth. I already more or less said the things I like about it. It was a pleasant surprise, bigger, more interesting and original than i thought it would be, with one of the most fun game worlds to explore since the original Dark Souls. I’d love to see what they could do with a bigger budget. 8.5/10

Elite Dangerous Horizons is going to be made free. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/09/29/elite-dangerous-will-make-horizons-expansion-free-for-all-players/

16 hours in now, the final large expanse of land that was blocked off for me for a long time is unlocked now. I’d like to see the original maps for this game showing how everything links together, it’s impressive. Everything about the game is impressive - how they’ve created a world that is big but not too big, the amount of quests in the game and how the quests link together, more than anything just the fact that they had a cool idea and managed to bring that idea to life and make a great game out of it.

I will say this, Japanese people love first person shooters and battle royale games. Fortnite, PUBG, Apex Legends, Rainbow Six Siege, Battlefield and Call of Duty are all super popular here. ARK (the dinosaur game) was super popular.

I also haven’t played enough of Kentucky Route Zero to judge. The Witcher 3 would be in my top ten for sure, at number one. Breath of the Wild would be in my top ten at the moment, I’m not sure it will be when I’ve caught up with my backlog though. I don’t think Bloodborne would be in my top ten, but Sekiro would. I’ll be playing Nier Automata and Outer Wilds soon.

How are the spiders?

Delayed to 2021. https://www.destructoid.com/stories/jett-the-far-shore-is-hitting-ps5-ps4-and-pc-in-2021-604077.phtml

Has this been confirmed to not being cross-gen?

Looks nice, I tuned out during the Monster Hunter direct that followed though.

According to this article, six month console exclusive and will come to PC after one year. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-09-17-ps5-is-a-surefire-hit-but-sonys-broken-promises-are-eroding-trust Which may or may not be true.

Demon Souls, FF XVI and Harry Potter are all games I will (more than likely) buy, but it was a weird presentation. Demon Souls came late in the presentation but it certainly looked very good. FFXVI and HP didn’t show gameplay if memory serves but they were meaty trailers. I’m happy with my current consoles for now though.

Love Harry Potter so I’m looking forward to this.

The trailer certainly screamed The Witcher. I assume it’s a 2022 game or later. Interesting to see how they stagger the release of this and FF7 Remake part 2.
