  1. #WhatImPlaying 

    #PUBG - Yup. The two guys I crew with at work are big PUBG guys. I (before I had kids) was a huge PUBG guy. So yeah, now I spend multiple nights a week not earning chicken dinners. It's been a laugh though, and really nice to get back into a game that I've spent about a thousand hours in already. It's still fantastic.

    #BeastOfReincarnation - Man. At ten hours I was thinking this game might find a way into my end of year list. I was having fun with the combat and the story felt like it was going to be interesting enough to get me through. Another 10/15 hours later and my opinion on the game changed significantly. 

    It's not bad. It just doesn't do anything well enough to justify spending nearly 25 hours in it's world. It doesn't respect the players time, it doesn't offer near enough enemy variety and perhaps most frustratingly, it's story and lore are delivered in giant and mostly unskippable cut-scenes. There's an interesting tale here, but I found it's delivery to be so boring that I just wanted to get through it; but couldn't, because I couldn't skip.

    Please, not every game needs to be a 30 hour epic. Edit that shit down. Concise.

  5. #BeastOfReincarnation wants to tell a story that's similar in size to something like #ClairObscur but it's got absolutely none of the finesse or style that Expedition 33 had in spades. 

    You're left watching legit hours of tediously writing and boringly animated cut-scenes just to get back to the (admittedly rather fun, if a little repetitive) action. 

    It's a real shame. A more talented team could really have done something interesting with this world, story and game.
