“Build your own damn peripherals.” - Nintendo

The reactions of the industry to Xenoblade 2 confused me a bit at first: some reviews calling it an amazing JRPG experience (RPGamer), a lot of middling ones, and some saying its awful, as Schreier. But now I have the feeling that its kind of the same reaction that Xenoblade 1 would have caused if it had had more…

Oh I’m definitely gonna play it. I watched the first few minutes of that review though and... well, he seems biased the other way around. He sounds like he’s going to start a religion. I tend to prefer the reviews that give roughly a 6.5-8.5 vibe, they tend to be the most honest.

I did find the character designs a bit jarring when I saw the first trailers, but I feel that I’ve seen it enough now where I’m getting used to it. Kind of looking forward to what my wife will say when she sees the Victoria Secret Blade Squad on the screen :)

Xenoblade Chronicles 1 is an interesting game. If you go back and read the Iwata Asks interview for it, the developers outright state that it was made in response to what the trends were in JRPGs at the time (it was released on the heels of FFXIII). The developers felt that JRPGs were skewing too hard on the story…

without spoiling anything, the developers made bravely default: flying fairy which when something is revealed, it’s a really clever title.

Octopath Traveler, because Octo is 8, you have 8 characters traveling? 8-path traveler?

I love how Steven Universe has accurate yet non-copyright-infringing references to actual consoles throughout the show.

I had the same reaction. I was skeptical, but I was completely impressed. I don’t know if I’ll get it day one since I have to manage my budget, but it definitely jumped into my radar.

Iron man. Iron Man

No he just fainted, if you played the game he survives

I agree... but the Suicide Squad campaign did a great job in tricking people into seeing that movie :)

Film gets made, everyone loves it and it does well, so of course decades later it will be remade to cash in again. It’s almost like it’s the...

Reaper, before he turned into a ghost thing was black

I think you took a wrong turn somewhere and missed the exit ramp to Tera or Blade n Soul.

Been done. On GameCube no less 15 years ago.

But they’ll just replace him after one season.

It’s as if millions of voices suddenly cried out “what?” in confusion and were continually baffled.

I do feel sorry for those who got confused
