Beyond Two Souls Certainly Has It's Choices

Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream ended at 12:50 AM, and if you're wondering why so early, it's because we had a normal start time thanks to the July 4th holiday on Tuesday giving me a 5 day weekend. Now we finished Beyond: Two Souls and I have some mixed feelings on it, as the story certainly takes some leaps in logic to make it a standard hypocritical United States military plot which kind of takes away from the overall game.

See way I figure, Beyond: Two Souls peaks with the Navajo chapter which is the last chapter that has Jodie actually helping people with her abilities, and it, along with the Homeless chapters are where Beyond: Two Souls shines... and anything involving the CIA is where this game becomes dull and stereotypical. In fact the second Jodie finds a kid in 'The Mission', you can basically see the tragedy that's going to happen and it really takes the wind out of the sails of the game.Then there is the whole invading a Chinese base, the Condenser problems and Dawkins going insane to be with his deceased family again... in my opinion Beyond Two Souls's story falls apart in its third act.

Gameplay wise I do feel it's better than Heavy Rain in someways, but doesn't have as good camera angles. Will I play it again? Yes, because a) I need to do a co-op play through at some point and b)  there are more trophies to unlocked. I finished with 40% of the trophies unlocked, so at least two more play throughs are needed.

On a side note it was nice having a stream start and end at a reasonable time!

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama who was playing Sonic Origins over on twitch.tv/zonesama

Got in touch with Kristi who helped my buddy Dax write a massive story which was really good.

As far as my writing goes, since I don't follow modern-day WWE I have to go with a very generic route and tie it in with some tropes that I've used. It's a commission request from a consistent client so i have to push it through

Our next stream on Saturday, will star around 6 PM or 7 PM Eastern as we'll focus on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy to finish the first game in the saga. I forget how long the fifth episode of the first game, because I know the cases that weren't in the original versions of the games end up being real long.

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