I started playing Octopath 2 after talking about it last week. I kind of randomly found an interesting little thing called foretales. F-O-R-E-T-A-L-E-S. It is a deck building game, and not deck building games, it is a card based narrative game. You have skills that are all based on cards each one is dependent on whatever characters you have. And these resources are things like food and money but also fame and darkness sort of like doing bad stuff in the world.
This week, we're joined by GameSpot's Tamoor Hussain to discuss the second installment in the Metal Gear Solid series. How well does the game's AI-controlled vision of the future match up with our own reality two decades later? Also, what's Raiden's whole deal? Like, what's he even DOING here?
Also discussed: Diablo IV beta, You Must Build a Boat, Destiny 2, Octopath Traveler 2, ForeTales, There is No Game: Wrong Dimension, Dark Souls 3, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Dredge
