Wow, already? That seems a bit fast.

Video game adaptations are the new cape hero ****...

Previously watched some cutscenes and gameplay. Hearing English VA saying "putain de merde" will never be unfunny to my ears.

The lip synching being a mess is hilarious.

Is there any game this year that could possibly compete against this for GOTY?

Probably not but then Im not sure what else is coming out towards the end of the year that might be bigger.

Having seen the final credits now on this one, its going to have to take something really special to top it now. Pure Cinema and would be well deserved.

Death Stranding 2, DK Bananza and Ghost of Yotei are releasing later this year.

Recent releases like Blue Prince, KCD2 and Split Fiction are potential GotY candidates.

Just started my playthrough.

Spoiler: Prologue

Zod damn... Such an emotional prologue. If the game keeps this level of emotional impact throughout the story then I can see why it will probably win GOTY.

Playing on expert difficulty and I suck at dodging/parrying (especially the latter). I'll probably use the 2x easier dodge/parry mod.
