From what I can see, you played five games that you really enjoyed and four games that would drive anyone angry trying to finish them.

Btw, days ago I managed to finish DMC 1 for the first time. Even though I'm new to the genre, I really enjoyed it.
I plan to play 3 when I finish Okami and Shenmue.

Some games tend to be announced too early on in order to hire developers; still it's strange that Larian, a studio with more than 400 devs and years of experience, did that.

In contrast to Fate of the Old Republic, in which the studio was founded this year.

Predator: Badlands

It's pretty good. I like that it offers something different and the character writing. Which makes me genuinely interested to see what they'll do with them in the next entries.

It's worth mentioning that only three developers worked at Ubisoft, so we shouldn't generalize.

That said, I hope what he said was sarcasm directed at Geoff.

In my case, I followed the stream of a cool guy and his friend who were also making fun of Geoff, so I didn't go crazy.

Although they suffered more than I did, since they're from the UK, so they were dying of boredom and fighting to stay awake.

Lmao

The game looks amazing. But even Sandfall devs looks a little annoyed with how Geoff is constantly trying to win their favor.

They fired Pierre Taki for much less, while keeping that creep in Kiwami 3. Sega double standards are so infuriating.

My prediction: Unfortunately, it won't be. The closest we have to that is Shadow, for better or worse.

Btw, after many delays, I finally managed to finish Fuma no Kojiro a few days ago. I enjoyed it, but I can see why it's at the bottom of your list.

Right now I'm rereading Indigo Period, but this time with the chapters of his very early works. They're quite rough, but the potential can be seen.
