How is it? I've not yet left the prologue but it seems to have bags of charm.

Just started 2064 - Read Only Memories. Do you like gobby robot sidekicks? I bloody hope so.

Seriously bummed about IO. Hopefully someone is able to step in. Do Square Enix retain the Hitman IP?

Lest we forget:

Well, I'm pumped for Blade Runner 2049. Denis Villeneuve is one of the best directors working today. He's got Dune next. God help him on that one.

Just saw this posted on reddit:

Sorry guys, my bad. Watch Brazil already, Val!

SPOILER WARNING

I don't generally play first person shooters - your Battlefronts, Battlefields, Call of Duties. Doom even. Anything with a big multiplayer component. The Witcher notwithstanding, I'm pretty much done with open world games as well - Final Fantasy XV, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mass Effect: Andromeda. Time is at a premium these days and I have to think long and hard about which games I invest in. The PlayStation is my bread-and-butter. And yet I've only bought around 14 PS4 games over the past two and half years, despite there being a lot more I'd like to play. To be a teenager again and have no life or responsibilities...

Was it Enoch who recommended Hauschka a few weeks back? Must thank him for that. Also this...

A few months old but I appreciate his chutzpah.

Highly recommend giving Persona 5's OST a listen if you haven't already: And Bloodborne is chock-full of strange and wonderful boss themes:

My wonderful wife picked me up a copy of Persona 5! Seems like its only had a limited release in my neck of the woods. It's certainly not as available as most new releases, which is a bit of a shame.

Andromeda taking its cues from avant-garde cinema, I see. Was Salvador Dali lead designer?

Any recommendations, guys? ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept. and Ping Pong: The Animation are well worth a watch if you haven't seen them already.

Totes awks.

Agreed. Can always switch to English second playthrough. How does it compare to Persona 4? Any favourite characters? It'll take a lot to trump Chie.

For what its worth, I actually think Andromeda looks pretty okay. A lot has been made of the animations and not without reason but it isn't much of an issue moment to moment. I don't like how quickly they dispense with Clancy Brown though. You've got Mr Krabs there - use him!
