EEEEEEEEEEY. I GOTS A GAME. I'm going to try and install it tonight.
CAPTAIN KAY
Got it installing now. |3

/SLAMS IN HERE
CAPTAIN KAY
I WAS DEBATING WHETHER OR NOT TO PING YOU-
CAPTAIN KAY
...I love that cat gif so much.
CAPTAIN KAY
CAPTAIN KAY
going to see little cousins this weekend, so this'll be a great game to bring along.
CAPTAIN KAY
(masked gaming will go down, possibly)
CAPTAIN KAY
And I bought it from the friendly local game shop!
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I’m so excited. My friend started it and wasn’t fond. She didn’t get far, so the story has yet to really kick in, but I don’t think she’s gone back to it yet. I need to talk about these little shits
CAPTAIN KAY
I'm still waiting for the updates to finish installing, so I might need to wait until tomorrow to sit down and play.
CAPTAIN KAY
Though, that sure is a motivator to drag myself through my last few assignments. PLAY VIDYAGAMES WHEN YOU FINISH WORK.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Hell yeah! Go fight win!
CAPTAIN KAY
"Huh, that makes me wonder whatever happened to that Gods and Monsters thing from E3-"
CAPTAIN KAY
"oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh. okay. that makes a lotta sense now."
CAPTAIN KAY
Immortals Fenyx Rising: Official World Premiere Trai...
Though real quick, that preview/rebrand trailer? I am super charmed by that.
CAPTAIN KAY
"Wow you really think the song selection is charming even though 90% of the comments hate it-?"
"YES, BECAUSE IN THIS INSTANCE 90% OF PEOPLE ARE WRONG."
CAPTAIN KAY
(or I just really like goofy jazzy music with a groovy beat. people still say groovy don't they.)
CAPTAIN KAY
...I do have just enough time to try out the character creator, now that the game is done installing.
CAPTAIN KAY
OR ubisoft can ubisoft and throw a dumb online account at me that I don't care about. dammit, I just want to play the gaaaaaaame.
CAPTAIN KAY
god but the art direction is so good
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Oooh, I never saw that trailer. That’s nice
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
The art direction is amazing
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
The whole game is visually stunning
CAPTAIN KAY
OKAY, I DONE WITH WORK. I'm going to go get some well earned lunch, and then strongly consider some game time.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
CAPTAIN KAY
okay, let's GO.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Lets gooo
CAPTAIN KAY
what the heckin' this is really fun. I've gotten up to the oracle temple before deciding I should probably put some food in my stomach.
CAPTAIN KAY
But yes I'm one of those goobers who actually really loves the humor and the overall tone.
CAPTAIN KAY
The writing and voice overs committed to this role of somewhat dramatic and mostly zany and is going at it with all guns blazing.
CAPTAIN KAY
And... Yeah I'm not the biggest Greek scholar in the world, but I know enough that the jokes had me guffawing.
CAPTAIN KAY
"THAT'S what happened to Metis? You told me she was on vacation!"
"Oops."
CAPTAIN KAY
And I do really love Prometheus and Zeus just jabbing at each other during the entire narration.
CAPTAIN KAY
And also artwise I get REALLY strong Theros vibes sometimes? Which is 100% not a complaint to be clear.
CAPTAIN KAY
Now keeping in mind, Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank were my goddamn jam back in the day, and while I never really played a lot of Jak and Daxter, I still had a respect for it.
CAPTAIN KAY
So yeah, having a modern game that really harkens back to those games while throwing in some Zelda homage, it's got me going "AWWWW YES, I SEE WHAT YOU ALL ARE TALKING ABOUT."
CAPTAIN KAY
CAPTAIN KAY
oh and hey Ubisoft, it took me several years but I'm finally ready to let go of that "women are harder to animate" comment.
CAPTAIN KAY
Also isn't it weird how a character's jump can feel a little floaty at first, but then you get the double jump and it turns into "YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS THAT'S THE GOOD STUFF"
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Add wings and everything feels better
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Just so you know, there are dozens of Greek mythos Easter eggs all over the place like that. They’re so fun to run into!
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I love this take on Zeus, and when you get to where the story really hits /chef’s kiss
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I adore the animation details. Like the shift in pose as you approach the ground
CAPTAIN KAY
I'll just throw this out now, this is one of my favorite versions of Hermes.
CAPTAIN KAY
And not to knock the Disney Hercules movie too much, there's some stuff in it I really like, but this was almost more what I was expecting from a Disney take on Greek Myths.
CAPTAIN KAY
"What, the humor, the cartoony style, the gorgeous scenery, or the characters?"
"...Yes."
CAPTAIN KAY
this... Honestly fills a void in me that I didn't even realize was there up until now. Y'know, like I didn't know I wanted something until it appeared?
CAPTAIN KAY
"OH! THAT'S IT! DISNEY GREEK MYTHS 2.0, OF COURSE!"
CAPTAIN KAY
...I think that Hermes just really reminds me of Dodger the Doggo from Oliver and Company. Which again, is not a complaint.
CAPTAIN KAY
GAME GOOD is what I'm trying to say.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Hermès is absolutely my favourite and I will not lie, cute ship feels happened while I was playing
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I didn’t want to spoil who he was before I knew you got there
CAPTAIN KAY
BTW on the subject of little animation nods that I like, the first star puzzle had a fun little tidbit; I loved that when you push the block in and the orb falls down, it bonks Fenyx on the head.
CAPTAIN KAY
They didn't HAVE to put in that little animation of Fenyx getting bonked on the head. But they DID.
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I love it
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
I love that there a dozen different animations for opening chests and pulling the rewards from the portals
Sir Nyx-A-Lot
Completely unnecessary animation, but it gives a life to the character
