Actually Poughkeepsie Tapes DID recently get a Blu-ray/DVD release last year:<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Poughkeepsie-Tapes-Bluray-Combo-Blu-ray/dp/B073L8Y7GT" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Poughkeepsie-Tapes-Bluray-Combo-Blu-ray/dp/B073L8Y7GT</a>

I also did not like The Witch, Eden Lake was way too nihilistic for my tastes, Annihilation was OK but too confusing for it's own good.

LifeIsStrange

I like Darksiders 2 better cause there was less focus on the damn puzzles I thought you liked Darksiders 2 considering your positive review of it? <a href="http://www.thejimquisition.com/darksiders-ii-deathinitive-edition-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.thejimquisition.com/darksiders-ii-deathinitive-edition-review/</a>

There's one upcoming game you forgot to mention-Hitman 2 on November 13, which is NOT episodic, thank fuck. hopefully it also won't force you to be online to save character progress and challenges.

I have no hope at all for Fallout 76 being any good, I can see it being the dissapointment of the year, even moreso then We Happy Few, at least that game can be fixed with patches, but the entire premise of 76 sounds flawed down to it's very core.

I enjoyed getting the collectibles in the Tomb Raider games, course I used Youtube for help to find them, so they didn't kill the pacing for me.

LifeIsStrange

Never was that familiar with John Noble, so he sounded fine to me as Scarecrow.

LifeIsStrange

Stalker based gameplay was how Alien Isolation wore on my patience, the shock value of the alien quickly wore off and eventually it failed to inspire any real suspense and only inspired aggravation(having to sit through that same damn unskippable death scene every single time you get caught does not help).

Yo Jim! This was a good podcast as always. I had a thought while listening to you talk about games criticism and your decision to stop doing that all together (outside of Jimpressions.) I whole heartedly love that you made this choice for you! you deserve to relax and be able to take things easy, after all, we do need more Duke in our lives and you cant do that on low batteries. I would suggest this though. I would love to see a good ol' Jim review once a month or two on a game you feel really passionate about. It probably sounds like a very dumb idea in all honesty. I am a person who loved reading all of your reviews and your introspective thoughts on games. But by no means should you force yourself on these. Creativity, and the desire to take your time should take precedence over a time schedule. Loving the content as always though! Keep it up and i look forward to seeing this next Jimquisition.. and thank Rom the Vacuous Spider for you!

Personally I think you and Gav ought to give Evil Within 2 another shot.

I never got into multiplayer period.

LifeIsStrange

Black Ops 3 was a damn good game, wasn't that big on the first one.

LifeIsStrange

I like Agents of Mayhem better then SR4

LifeIsStrange

I found the superpowers in SR4 lackluster, most of them felt like inferior versions of powers in other games like Crackdown, Infamous, Prototype, etc and I often found myself wishing I was playing those games instead.

LifeIsStrange

I liked both of the Kane and Lynch games for what they were.

LifeIsStrange

Saints Row 4 is my least favorite in the series(not counting Gat Out of Hell).

LifeIsStrange

It was actually Alien Resurrection, also it was actually a Gamespot review.
