CEO is the grittiest of all the major FGC tournaments. It’s the one still most tied to the arcade spirit of “winner stays on”, and part of that is everyone getting an equal shot. I don’t care if you’re Daigo Umehara or Joe Schmo, in a tournament like that, you follow the rules like everyone else. That’s how open…

Once again, Kojima tried to warn us back in MGS4.

Still holding out for a new Strikers! The new Mario Tennis was a lot of fun, and this looks really good.

For a game like this, while it’s super fun to add all these extra crazy modes and whatnot, none of it would matter if the core golf gameplay wasn’t good. And it sounds like it absolutely is. You want to be sure you have a strong foundation before you build on top.

There’s only one Cactus Jack

Kazuya himself has even been canonically dead and came back. Mishima family members just don’t stay dead. Except even Jinpachi to come back someday.

Well what about Kazuya Mishima? It’s canon that he fucks. That smirk doubles down on it, too. But also, he’s SUPER evil and selfish, and that might carry over into the bedroom. Perhaps he doesn’t do oral, but he’s definitely giving people the Earth Wind God Fist!

People seem to be forgetting that Mario’s got the setup for the perfect mustache ride.

I love how it’s specifically called Dread, too, calling back to a now decades-old rumor/meme.

Well maybe you should have gotten some of that across in your big presentation of the game, Todd. Because going by your presentation, I would know nothing about the game other than “space” and when you’re aiming to release.

I’d put it under “not know”, since who even knows about those games? This is the first I’d even heard of him being inspired by those.

It feels almost like they’re taking the piss. I’m expecting a big twist at some point.

Yeah I actually expect this game, certainly by full release, to be quite fun to play. If you’ve got the same folks who worked on Nioh working on this, I’d say the gameplay is in pretty good hands.

This, too, is Chaos’ fault

I mean...maybe I would have been interested in playing this if I knew what the game actually was. So far, going by what they’ve presented on it, there is no indication even what genre this is, or what you’re actually doing. It’s good that we have a release date, but usually you give an indication of what you do in a…

It would be nice if they showed literally anything about the game itself on their big presentation. It’s good to have a date, but they didn’t even give an indication of what kind of game it is or what you do in it other than a vague indication of traveling through space, and I guess you have a gun.

I’m guessing it’s going to be a recurring element in side-story DLC. I don’t think it’ll bleed into the main game much, if at all.

Well, Cloud is very much elsewhere by this point in the game. But there is also an actual in-universe justification for Yuffie being pushed away from the bar.

For The Glory of Beankind

A friend of mine was on Xbox the last two generations, but had wanted to play a lot of the games that were on PS3 and 4. So when he picked up a PS5, and saw how many games came free with the collection, he was like “Welp, I won’t have to buy any new games for a year”. Plus most of the games he would buy anyway I…
