Ready for any new releases?

Post by Red »

So yeah is anyone waiting for any new movies/video games/music/TV show/etc.?
Here's my list:
1. South Park: The Fractured But Whole (hrehrehrehreh)
I played The Stick of Truth, and it is hands down one of the greatest games based on a TV show. I liked mechanics like being able to use an item or special ability once every turn, and the game had a wide collection of collectables and items. Plus, the amount of references is insane. This time instead of Role Playing in the Middle Ages, we're going to expect super heroes with the main cast, and I'm excited to see what game style they're gonna make it.

2. Kingdom Hearts 3
No explanation needed.

3. Mafia 3
I'm super excited for this game. Hopefully it has the story and humour that the first game had.

And that's all I can think of at the moment. I never really bought into hype culture, but I do get excited when a game I want is going to be released. I think I should lower my expectations for the games so I can be even more impressed.

I'm mostly excited for Dishonored 2. I enjoyed the personal freedom, interactions with other characters, and the many interesting moral questions presented by the first one. I hope the second can do the same, while also patching some quirky stealth mechanics and making the plot more clear without compromising the mystery and wonder of the world of Dishonored.

I've noticed you talk about Kingdom Hearts a lot. What's it about? How long is it? Why do you like it?

Mass Effect: Andromeda will most likely be released in December this year. If it gets delayed, then probably January 2017. It's by far the video game that I'm most looking forward to. I expect it to be much better than the previous games; at least in terms of visual quality, and content (supposedly the quantity of game world that can be explored is roughly 4 times that of ME3). I don't know how likely the story is to be better than previous games.

I recently heard about KotOR Apeiron. I hope that this project will be finished and released for free to the public, although I find that highly unlikely.

Also hope that Skywind will finally be finished and released, but I am of course worried that the project will be shut down by Bethesda.

It's a video game that combines Final Fantasy and Disney. On the surface, it sounds idiotic, but when it gets to the actual gameplay, it's anything but. It's a hack and slash (at least for most games in the series), and mainly an RPG. The story is a bit eccentric. You play as Sora (at least in most of the games, excluding Birth By Sleep and Dream Drop Distance), who is chosen to wield a weapon known as the Keyblade, which is used to fight these blokes known as heartless. Look I don't feel like explaining the whole god damn story so here's an article:
http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Kin ... s_(series)

The gameplay can last about 10-15 hours, 16-30 if you try to go 100%. But if you do a speed run you can easily complete the game within 3 and a half hours.
I'm not entirely sure as to why I like the game so much. Maybe since I played the game since I was young, and I saw a lot of familiar characters, and I liked the gameplay and style in general, I fell in love with it when I saw my brother play it on the Playstation 2. There are other things to like it for, the story, the music, the animation, the characters, etc., but I guess each to their own.

Does the release of the Hobbit mean the Lord of the Rings is not a trilogy?

I'm also looking forward to this. Why do you think Bethesda is going to shut it down? Don't you need Skyrim and Morrowind to play it?
