I'm worried they're going to slow burn everything so much we aren't going to get any satisfying arcs or fun action in the first season. Active production has been going on for years, though, so that's a good sign.
Not that I saw. Shots seemed less in media res and more traveling/dialogue/emotional/new worldy. The yaoguai seems like a short jumpscare scene and the handsome ghoul shoots two people.
That might be the music setting me up for a yawn, even in-game that warble-crooning puts me to sleep.
I've been replaying fallout 4 and really enjoying it! Survival mode makes it much more compelling and diffuses the focus away from the story which is hardly the strongest part of the game.
That said, yeah I never play a game till its been out for 6months+.
I have no hopes like I had no hopes for Halo. When it comes to games it is more in the territory of prove you don't suck as opposed to I believe you'll be amazing.
