I can't wait to continue this game. I thoroughly enjoyed the demo last month. It seems that the stories may be disappointing, but from my experience, that certainly was not made evident by the demo as I enjoyed the charm and hometown feel of each character's backstory. The demo showed the game to be very much so a clone of Bravely Default in every which way as far as gameplay, sound, and visuals go. If you are me, this is a good thing. I wish the price tag wasn't so steep for this throwback, but I'll look forward to enjoying it likely some time in 2019 when the price drops a bit and my library of games I am currently working on is cleared a bit. Thank you as always for the solid work Gamespot.
I always enjoy these news segments, probably one of my favorite features on the website. I think all the hosts do a great job and the stories are always nicely paced with relevant footage. Keep up the great work Justin and crew!
I'm glad to see him have more optimism regarding games, but I have no desire to see any involvement with him in games. I remember when he and his mother desperately tried to smear videogames in one of his irrelevant political rants that no one really cares about. I don't really see any value with him in a game anyways and feel that it wouldn't be money well spent to have his voice in a game, given the amount of money he would likely demand.
Kevin Van Ord is the best man in the business (2nd to maybe Jeff Gurtsman who I dream returns to Gamespot) -- very well put and well done overall review as per usual Mr. Van Ord. It seems as though there are some dwindling signs of hope to this new series, but ultimately it seems as though a lack of imagination and innovation have perhaps hurt this game. I'll wait for more time to pass and more opinions before deciding if I give this game a try, which does seem to possess several good things about it (to be fair).
I like the concept of Steam boxes, but based on what I've gathered from the comments below, it seems as though the execution leaves a lot to be desired. I'm totally clueless when it comes to PC gaming, but I am starting to entertain the idea slowly of building a gaming PC (which I have no idea how to do at the moment) based on some of the great games that are either PC exclusive and the performances that only PC's are capable of. I've been console exclusive for about the last 15 years (more or less) but I may like to evolve soon. It just doesn't seem as though the Steam Box will be the most cost effective/practical measure if I decide to take that route.
