I can’t get over how grey the meat looks in all those pics. Legitimately, a plain ol’ hamburger from McDonalds looks more appetizing than the burger patties here. Is it just how the photo was taken?

Man, the Arkham series is great. Kind of surprising they’ve let it lay fallow for like four years now. 

Sure, that could work. Or maybe make it the hook for a new character. Either piloting a Titan (some major tradeoffs there, as now you’re huge, loud, and can’t easily shelter in buildings) or a limited-time summon like Overwatch’s Ashe. 

The website says it’s set a couple hundred years after the first two games, for whatever that’s worth. 

The lack of Titans (my favorite part of Titanfall 1 and 2) baffles me, but here’s hoping the game does well enough to maybe find a way to make them work in a battle royale.

It comes with 200 tokens and a 20% discount on OWL merch.

Full disclosure: I clicked through to see if there were any new skins that I’d get if I bought the pass.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure this very article is the reason not having user reviews is a selling point.

The irony, I suppose, is that it’s the very type of behavior that makes Epic’s storefront and its lack of reviews so attractive. 

Lot of love for Bloodstained here, and it’s good - really makes me excited for the main Bloodstained game whenever that actually comes out - but if you’re into Assassin’s Creed at all but skipped Rogue, don’t sleep on it. It’s really excellent. Good story, lets you see the other side of the whole Templars vs Assassins…

That’s my point. 

I... actually don’t know if I agree with that. Certainly if it is a money grab, they aren’t using any of the standard predatory mobile game strategies - Polygon’s review says there’s no microtransactions or energy system, just a one-time $5 price tag.

Honestly, even if it’s underwhelming, that’s probably better than anyone was expecting when it was announced. 

I still hold out hope of Frost coming back - even if she didn’t even survive her own ending in the one game she was in.

One minor correction, Ethan. Zelda is the boy.

I kind of wondered if they were going to connect Rainbow Six and The Division - it seemed like the vague terrorist plot in Siege could be connected to the Cash Flu that wipes out New York in The Division. But it actually makes zombies, I guess? Or was that whole thing just a fun, non-canonical side-story?

That’s basically how I feel about Shovel Knight - I’ve loved all the additions they’ve made, but I also dearly want to see them do something new.

Meanwhile, I’m stuck on the reanimated knights boss fight at the top of the Weeping City.

It’s also on 360, and is backwards(forwards?)-compatible with Xbone. Great character and story, but you can really see how hobbled the design and world were by the Vita’s constraints compared to the ‘main’ AC games.
