First Impression of Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed

Good morning everyone

Last night we played Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed and it's really awesome, you get to play as either your own custom Ghostbuster or as a Ghost in a 4 vs 1 match. The objectives are to close the Ghost Rifts and to capture the Ghost, while also keeping civilians calm. The tutorials for both being a Ghostbuster and a Ghost are very descriptive to let you know what you can do. Finding a match was pretty easy with Cross-Play, and one can easily tell that some folks are really looking to play as the Ghost because I ran into dude who already had things ranked to level 30 and above.

In terms of presentation, there is a story that is gradually unlocked as you play, and I've seen the first three major cut scenes that involves Winston getting possessed because of something in a trap that Venkman sent to the firehouse so there is incentive to keep playing to see how the story plays out. Sound effects and music are really solid, voice overs are also decently done. There is also a 'ping' system so voice chat isn't needed but one has to hope folks are paying attention.

Now it may get 'old' seeing the same few maps over and over again, however, I think there is a lot of long term potential with GB:SU because more maps can easily be added down the road, and I can easily see maps being based on locations from the movies being added to make things really interesting down the road.

We'll do another stream of Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed next Tuesday!

For the raid we dropped in on PowerThumbz who was playing Tom Clancy's The Division 2 over at twitch.tv/powerthumbz! 

Work was pretty solid yesterday, even though it was really focused on speaking to people in New York state, and man there are some real loons out in some of those boondocks.

The Phillies won game one of the NLCS against the Padres 2-0 behind two home runs from Harper and Schwarber. They only need to win three more games to make it to the World Series... I'm not getting my hopes up, because the Padres are a good team. In fact I saw stats that basically indicated the Padres and Phillies have basically the same win-loss record going back several years.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Front-Back Step Combo, Defensive Combo #2 and Triple Combo #2 for a duration of 28 minutes.

Nabbed Doom, New Tales from The Borderlands, Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova and Them's Fightin' Herds: Deluxe Edition on the Xbox side of things. So you can beat we'll featuring them as soon as possible based on the currently line up of games we have already in place.

For tonight's stream we're back to Fallout 76 with the goal being focused on doing the final mission of the Steele Dawn story arc. Granted I still have not finished the story arcs for things that were part of the original release of Fallout 76.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
