Big agree on Torrent for best horse btw. Torrent has set the new standard for video game horses. All future horses without double jumps are going to have some serious explaining to do.

It was about 300 hours total between all of us combined. (So 75 each on average.) I do have pics of the insides - I need to upload a gallery sometime! (I'll prob do it tomorrow now that it's on my mind)

Good stuff dude.

I'm a little surprised to see Untitled Goose Game listed as a disappointment, but it also makes sense in a way. I had a blast playing it with Scott - we passed the controller back and forth to co-op it. But I think it was a good thing that the game was so short, because it definitely did seem like the sort of thing that might wear out its welcome if it went for much longer.

Let me know what you think of Darksiders II when you play it. I haven't played it yet, but I've heard that series compared to Zelda. It's been on my "maybe someday" list for a while now.

 

[Kenny]

Darksiders II was in the section of games I've played but haven't finished that I really feel like I need to get back to especially since I have Darksiders III waiting to be played as well, so I have already played II, though it's been a number of years since I last touched it. The first Darksiders is kind of God of War combat meets Zelda game stucture, and is quite fun. Darksiders II has, as I remember it, a sort of similar but bit more open structure, and not necessarily in a good way. Instead of the main weapons you get and keep in the first game DSII has a more Diablo-like loot system, where you find a lot of weapon drops and can kind of pour them into each other to upgrade and so, and I remember never being a big fan of that system. There's also a whole lot of sidequests. The original game is definitely the stronger of the two, but I wouldn't call the second game bad.
