This game awards really was impressive, prevouisly we would probably get 2 or 3 highlightable announcements at most but this one had a lot to offer. Geoff also seemed to care a bit more this time round probably due to the feedback given to him for last year. 
Personally, I had quite a few things I was so excited about, the most excited i got in the night was for the Okami sequel, its something I thought would never actually happen. When I saw the brief trailer they showed I was teary eyed, it really meant something to me as a huge fan of the original. I really dont mind how long we have to wait for the game from this announcement we have already waited so long, whats another few years, I am just so happy its actually real. I was a fan of Team Sonic Racing and prevouis sonic racing games, so seeing a new one was a pleasant suprise for me too, I will definitely be getting that game myself, whever it launches. The untitled project from the ICO devs really intrigues me, I have played ICO and thought it was decent, the gameplay was very dated but I really liked the atomosphere and narrative there, hopefully with modern standards and such the gameplay can be there as well. Lastly, the Witcher is a series I have always been interested in and the reveal of a fourth one may be the push for me to finally play the series.

Overall, this Game Awards was wonderful and I hope furture ones are like this one. It'll be a tough one to live up to for sure, but i'm sure there is more awesome stuff coming that can appear next year.

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[Thoughts] Will Tears of the Kingdom have DLC?

  DLC for Tears of the kingdom could happen but I don't think it's likely Source: Author's edit I want to start off by saying I do not think this game needs DLC at all, though it would be welcome. Breath of the Wild had an expansion pass with 3 waves of content. Looking at the contents of that could give us an idea about what a Tears of the Kingdom expansion pass could look like. The first wave (Expansion pass purchase bonus) was available at the games launch and included the following: - 3 new treasure chests This was a very small wave featuring 3 chests of goodies. The biggest thing from this was a Nintendo Switch shirt link could wear. It was a nice little extra to start the game off with but definitely not the defining content of the pass. Moving on, The second wave (DLC pack 1) offered a lot more in terms of content, with it offering these following things: - Trail of the Sword - Master mode - Heroes path mode.  This wave offered many things to test the players skill...

[Thoughts] Dark Chronicle's Fishing Remains Unmatched!

While there are many great fishing mini games, Dark chronicle's still stands tall The main reason the fishing in Dark Chronicle stands out to me is that it transcends being a simple mini game with little purpose. There are many reasons to fish in this game actually. On top of this, the fishing itself is really fun and there are plenty of cool fish you can get in the game. So, with that said, let's go into more detail regarding this games fishing as a whole.  The fishing itself, is very simple and easy to get a grasp of. You start by casting your line into the water, which can pretty much be any body of water in the game. Then when something bites, which is indicated with a exclamation point, you start to reel.  From here your objective is to draw in the fish and ensure that your reel amount doesn't hit the top of the bar. While it is slow, you can pretty much avoid the danger zone completely by periodically tapping the reel button. ...
