I don’t understand why Inside is so loved. As a huge fan of Limbo, Inside was disappointing.

RE: The Game Awards GOTY Nominees are...
@mbun They didn’t cover it in the context I’m referring to. It wasn’t a priority for them to play to completion at release and they didn’t put out a formal critique. This isn’t a slight against EZA, I’m just saying it’s part of a combination of things that led me to believe it wouldn’t be particularly well liked amongst the jury over the likes of Deathloop or Metroid.

RE: The Game Awards GOTY Nominees are...
Nothing deserved that win more than It Takes Two. I really did not expect it. I was surprised it even got a Nomination. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would win. I was sure that Metroid had it in the bag as the huge critical darling it was. I really didn't get the impression that It Takes Two was that popular among outlets. I felt for a long while that I was screaming into the void about how good it was when compared to its main stream coverage. Easy Allies didn't review it.
It Takes Two is endlessly creative, pushing the boundaries of what a Co-op game can be, and being incredibly polished the whole way through. They didn't need to put a fully-featured chess minigame, with multiple gamemodes, in that game, but they did.

RE: Honestly, I think Jason would make an amazing 9th (10th?) Ally
I agree, however I think that Jason would have an issue with conflicting agendas. He has his role at Iridium Studios to maintain, and that might complicate things with NDAs, embargoes, etc.

RE: HERE'S YOUR DARN SWITCH PRO!!!!
Quite possibly the biggest misstep by Nintendo with the Switch so far. Regardless of the rumours, whoever thought that releasing a new premium model with little to no improvements for people who play docked was a good idea?

RE: The EZA Community Top 20 Best of 2020!
Ah, no one else voted for BPM: Bullets Per Minute.
As someone who's not super keen on Rogue-likes, I adore this game.
I feel like the trailer sells what the game is really darn well.
It's coming to consoles this year! Don't skip it!

RE: The EZA Community Top 20 Best of 2020!
Ghost of Tsushima was absolutely my favourite game of the year. I played it on my PS5 with high frame rate.
The highlight for me was the setting, the quests, and the combat and stealth gameplay. The world was absolutely beautiful to explore, with countless locations that are painstakingly crafted to look like a sacred samurai battleground, or a tranquil spot for meditation.
The combat is just stupid fun.
The story had something to say and it covered the topic in the best way I've seen so far.
Only issue is that the open world collectibles/minor quests were a bit old fashioned. However, they were adorned with so much set dressing and theming that I was happy to keep doing them.
Also, it seems a little silly but the shape of the open world leaves something to be desired, as it feels less like exploration and more like working your way down a queue. Breath of the Wild starting you in the middle of the open world was no accident. However, I understand it's based on real events in a real place, and the structure does have its own strengths, such as a strong sense of progression.
I haven't touched Legends mode and don't really plan to. But what a great add-on to what is already a pretty chunky game.

I've played a few hours of Hades so far. The furthest I've gotten is Elysium. Rogue-Likes aren't really my jam so I find it a little hard to stay committed (I've started playing FF7 Original now) but I really like how quickly and easily you start to improve your character.
Honestly I'm not grabbed by the story at all and I'm here mainly for the gameplay, but the graphical style is great :)

RE: Xbox E3 2021 post-show thoughts
Replaced and Redfall were my highlights. I was a little disappointed by BF2042 but...
They needed to show a vertical slice of Hellblade 2. It's been nearly 2 years since it was announced.
