I mean, alot yes. She's definitely more villainous than Abby was.
[spoiler]
Though I guess ultimately Joel's the villain because he influenced 2 innocent people descend into villainy.
[/spoiler]
Oh and for some reason I totally missed the fact that....
[spoiler]Lev was trans - I guess I probably wasn't paying attention to the dialogue when it was brought up[/spoiler]
That last one was pretty obvious. I mean I was a little slow on the uptake, but it was very clear by the end.
Keep in mind though
[spoiler]Regarding the respective levels of villainy for Ellie and Abby, the game mostly follows Abby after she got her revenge and follows Ellie on her quest for revenge. So it naturally depicts Ellie in a more villainous light. Of course, you could argue that Abby had better reason for seeking revenge, but that's just an excuse in a lot of ways. When it comes down to it, Ellie and Abby have pretty much the same reason for seeking revenge. We definitely see Ellie going to worse extremes (including at the expense of her own friends) in pursuit of revenge, but again some of that is a function of who is on the quest for revenge In the game and who has already gotten theirs. Remember Abby starts off the game torturing and killing people who just helped her survive. I'm not saying she didn't have good reason, but still, it's pretty villainous.[/spoiler]

I probably missed the cues. I read the wiki article and it said he was supposed to go get married and I didn’t remember that at all.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler] The first hints I remember was when he said he wasn't supposed to shave his head like the warriors or something, but that was subtle enough that I didn't really pick up on the intent at first. There was some exchange in the building they get caught in on the way to try to get some medical supplies that made me go "ohhh." I wasn't sure yet, but it made me suspect and made me more keyed into paying attention to other hints. But before the end they also reveal his former name was "Lily", so that it's pretty blatant at that point. I don't think they ever straight up label him, but it's clear enough.[/spoiler]

Oh that reminds me to pick it up. I've had it on my wishlist for so long I forgot it actually released.

Wouldn’t be able to answer that as I technically didn’t wait for it (didn’t play Psychonauts at the time and just recently watched somebody else play it on Twitch) but it’s well in the running for my GOTY. So many great ideas with very little filler or downtime between fantastic set pieces. The only downer is that some of the platforming is annoying.
Played a few hours of Eastward. Pacing seems fine to me. I'm at [spoiler]that first town after you exit the caves.[/spoiler]
Other than that I mainly play FFXIV and various fighters. Working on this fight currently. Almost made it to the Ultima transition yesterday but didn't beat the Titan enrage unfortunately.
[spoiler]The vomiting judges[/spoiler] it's very slow (it takes about 20 minutes to get to the final form) and I died both times at the very end and they make you start over
Oh that took me two tries but I went in with low health and I didn't realise right away that you could drag up the ingredients and that there were health spawn points all over the place.
The healing items are so crappy and I keep accidentally using the little one when I don't need it. Tbh all the combat is trash and switching between moves is a chore so I pretty much button mash when there's a wave of standard enemies.
I think I'm very close to the end. Will be glad to be a game down when Metroid Dread hits later in the week!
Might give up on Eastwaward. Finding it far too slow and cumbersome and three times now I've had to reboot it because the characters have frozen/the game has crashed.
Yeah should be receiving mine next week, because I didn't chose Benzos
It's ok. I'm playing DeathLoop™ still. I made good progress with it last night, found new info and pretty good weapon's. I'm going to try to remote play into it while I'm away this weekend lol
Got Metroid Dread in the mail while I was gone. Played it for 15 mins, and they had to pick *awful* voice actors (doubt they're actual actors professionally) and they have a THICK quebec accent in the French Canadian version.
Usually our dubs are a bit more neutral in terms of accents. I guess super computer space AIs speak like some dude working at a Depanneur in Villeray
Looks like it's going to be another slam dunk for Fromsoft. I was pretty excited for it already but from that preview it looks like the game does exactly what I wished Breath of the Wild did, which is have little dungeons, mines, catacombs, etc tucked away all over the place to explore. February can't come soon enough!
box now
