Its crazy that both XCOM games are going to land in the Top 6...
@yoshi Dang that was fast... its tempting to go DE when it becomes available here in the States but I also kind of want a non-garish looking PS5 that could hopefully come in the first six months of launch... tough decisions.
@e_zed_eh_intern That's what it seemed like to me as well - though as someone who skipped PS4 and plans to get a PS5 at some point, it would make me get PS Plus for awhile so I can plow through everything I missed. Assuming its a program that won't go away after a few months anyways. Surprised we didn't get more details on whats at launch, a lot of stuff from both sides looking pushed due to COVID imo.
Edit: Apparently they just decided to not include them in the video? Very odd, lot of interesting details left out.
@happygaming I've found it difficult to get too attached to new teams and sports as I've grown older as so much of my sports identity was formed from an early age. You're certainly not alone though as people undoubtedly pull this off on a regular basis, I'd imagine its simply a matter of getting their perspective. Despite being a massive sports fan its hard to communicate how to become passionate about them. I've played soccer since I could walk practically but have been unable to care too much about any club; I never grew up cheering for an MLS or Intl club outside of the US National Team and even with an MLS team coming to Charlotte I don't feel the passion for it all that much. The last time I really was able to attach myself to a new team was when I actually went to college, and the college I ended up attending was different than the one I grew up rooting for. And even then a lot of the schools were familiar so it wasn't some big culture shock of having to learn to appreciate something new.
At the end of the day I care because I have connections to the teams and sports I like to watch and from playing I connect to the cruel/rewarding nature of actually playing the game. There's nothing quite like the reality and drama of live competition, especially when its paired with a team you're invested in on some level.
Its tough to nail down bands they like, and that link @bam541 shared gives you a good idea of what each likes.
Ben definitely seems to list metal artists the most often, specifically Metallica, but I think he enjoys most genres. They talk about music sometimes on Frame Trap, here's an early one where he talks about Courtney Barnett.
The only thing I think they all agree on is that they don't care much for country, modern pop country anyways. Also, they mostly all seem to care alot about and listen to video game soundtracks pretty often... which isn't too surprising I suppose.
Don is the only one whose music taste I don't think I know anything about.
@Sentinel-Beach, we got you covered! Didn't play it in 2018 since I don't really use my laptop for games, but got it on Xbox One X last year and loved it. @ffff0, the first time you use the pocketwatch serves as essentially the only tutorial that I recall and explains every mechanic for how to progress - I thought it was a very good opening. It is not just an art gallery, more like a carefully crafted collection of stop motion shots that let you see how scenes unfolded. Also the art style and that soundtrack though!
@bam541 I believe initially they said the original Xbox One too, but I would guess that the Xbox One release gets removed and its pushed to the Series X only. The same thing happened with Everwild, announced as Xbox One but when we saw it in July, Series X was the only thing mentioned. I'd guess this was because they hadn't revealed the name of the next generation yet, so they just attached it to the current known consoles.
@phbz When it was announced at E3 2019, they said it would come to consoles though they didn't give an exact timeline other than they were focused on PC to start. I'd imagine we'd see it by the end of next year, especially given how well its been reviewed.
