Things That Make Me SquE3, Part 3

Oh hai there, and vilkommen back to a bunch of opinions you don't/shouldn't care about!  ...I mean my blog.  Yes, my blog..  Ahem.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

I can't remember when I first saw this, but I remember watching some teaser or another and immediately being like


Original mechanic, puzzles, rich world, lovable characters?  It may not be my most looked-forward-to game of, I dunno, the next year (it's coming out this year, right?), but it sure as hell looks like it'll have the full package.

Destiny

WHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHAT I STILL DON'T EVEN REALLY KNOW WHAT THIS IS BUT OH GOD WHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHAT

Seriously, the fact that I ranked twelve whole games above this... kinda baffles me.  Looks like I've got some 'splainin to do.  See, for a long time, I hated the word "destiny".  Then shit about this game started surfacing. Now I don't hate it anymore.  Cuz OH MY GOD I WILL NEED THIS WHEN IT COMES OUT.

Beyond: Two Souls

Ellen Page + David Cage.  Page and Cage.  I...  What else?  What else must I say besides "Holy shit this game will rock our socks... then take 'em down to the docks... and join the White Sox" oh suck my balls, I'm giving you gold here.  Gold, I say!!!!

Also OH MY GOD WILLEM DAFOE IS IN THIS BLARGALARGAHAHDARDARGWHAT

Goal for this part of the post: don't put anything in all-caps.  I know, it's been annoying, but we're getting down to the nitty-gritty, folks.  Biggest squees of the upcoming year in gaming.  Well, so far.

I have but one compunction about this upcoming what-looks-like-a-masterpiece, and compunction, thy name is XBone.  Yeah yeah yeah, I know they're doing a mass overhaul of the thing after the outcries over their ridiculous check-ins and DRM policies and whatnot, but I'm still worried okay?  And by worried, I mean totally getting a PS4.

Mario and Luigi: Dream Team 

FUCK RIGHT OFF I LOVE THESE GAMES.  Sigh... went about as long as I could without caps.  I heard Paper Mario: Sticker Star was pretty disappointing and that Bowser's Inside Story was pretty sweet


I mean, duhh; it has this charming motherfucker in it.

and this game looks like it'll 1) make up for Sticker Star, and 2) continue the trend of the Mario & Luigi games being awesome.

The Evil Within

Bethesda plus survival horror.  Not like Dead Space survival (coughaction) horror, like "holy shit this is terrifying why would you even make this game" kinda survival horror.  Words cannot describe my stoke (or the sheer volumes of piss that will inevitably meet my pants).

Hohokum 

Why the hell am I so interested in this game?  Don't get me wrong; I'm a huge sucker for an offbeat world/art-style/set of mechanics, especially when all those things are rolled into one.  But I usually gotta have a kind of sense of intensity, something at stake in this big crazy universe I've jumped into.  Far as I can tell, that doesn't exist in Hohokum.  You're some weird flying snake-dude that flies around helping weird things and... I don't know, looking at stuff?

Why, Hohokum?  Why do you seduce me so?  Besides, you know, the fact that it looks... fucking brilliant.

Stay tuned, bitches; final part coming up.
