@dmcmaster well the heartbeat thing you said was not revealed until the very end, so I think it counts as a spoiler, lol. Anyway, yeah, either a tutorial stage or a flashback of sorts of that would be cool.

@dmcmaster lol, such a casual spoiler. But yeah, that certainly happened. They could have made that to be a smaller game like The Old Blood, and it would probably be cool af.

5 episodes in on Full Dive: The Ultimate Next-Gen Full Dive RPG Is Even Shittier than Real Life!. I feel like this is a fun concept that is kinda ruined by an absolutely annoying main character (and also many of the supporting cast), weirdly slow pacing, and aimless story. The vibe of the show just feels a bit too negative, even though there are comedic things happening. I can't help but keep watching it though. It's a fun trainwreck to watch, I guess.

Wolfenstein Youngblood. I'm very, very disappointed with the general structure of the game and the gameplay. The gunplay is sooo unsatisfying. The story stuff is pretty neat, but they could tell it in a much better game.

Ghost of Tsushima: Add better lip sync to the Japanese VO.

Prey (2018): Change the look of the black gooey monsters so they look more like they came out of Bloodborne or Dead Space (multi limb biological freaks).

@Scotty the meandering pace is what made it so good though. I personally really enjoy the looseness of the pacing, especially after the previous three games feeling quite strict with the pace.

There's a new digital only gaming magazine called Funland, and it looks cool. I'm gonna check it out later and report back.

@axel said in Vote for the forum's GOTY 2020!:

my gut suggestion would be to nominate Dreams itself (otherwise the votes will be too spread out for anything to rank high)

that's my main fear honestly. I think the game I want to nominate is more than good enough to be considered as its own thing, but I also really respect how Dreams have enabled that sort of creative endeavor in the first place. Plus, I think Dreams itself is a excellent creation software.

Man, making the list is gonna be a tough time for me, mostly in deciding the honorable mentions, because I have to cross some really good games off the list. There's also four games that I haven't finished yet, and I think they have great chance of making in my list so I definitely want to play more of them soon.

Shoutout to Genshin Impact, my weeb friends can finally play something with me because it's free to play and I'm quite thankful of this game helping my social life during the pandemic. Also shoutout to When The Past Was Around. Indo pride!

Here's a serious question: can I nominate a game someone made in Dreams? I really want to nominate it, if that's possible. Or should I just nominate Dreams instead?

I'm probably not going to buy many games this month, bought AC New Horizons yesterday and I want to spend a lot of time with that, plus all the backlog I have. If I have the chance, I'm interested in checking out the 2 Famicom Detective Club games, both coming out May 14th.

I'm also paying close attention to the reviews for EDF: World Brothers (May 27th) and Biomutant (May 25th), really curious about both of these.

@sheria That's great! I came to liking it more and more as time goes on. It's easy to listen to, and it's quite solid from front to back.
