Counterpoint: You can cancel a preorder at any time up to a very short time before the product launches. Given the scarcity of these retro consoles in the pat, it would be absurd for any Playstation fan even mildly interested in this to not preorder one, as there is NO RISK, you condescening ass.

I totally agree. I only really played War of the Lions on iPad, so the platform alone could be a large part of why I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as the original.  But I always thought the original was much more charming.

No Symphony of the Night? That exclusion wouldn’t bother me, as I’d probably rather play it on Vita, but I am surprised.

Yes I would buy these sets.

GamerCat is my winner this week. I definitely felt guilty about leading on that pink goombette.

I disagree. Web-swinging is so much fun that I look forward to the Ubisoft-style collect-o-thon.

Somebody else mentioned the franchise, but Infamous Second Son is the only other game that I barely used fast travel for because traversal was so much fun.  I don’t think I’ll ever use it is Spider-Man though, except maybe to get the trophy.

Ok, but now that it’s so streamlined, and given how little it changes other than quality-of-life improvements, why don’t fans just keep playing New Leaf? It’s likely the new one won’t be that different.

Wow, how cute is that Vanity Fair writer with their use of the word “lodestar”?

I’ve settled into a nic groove switching between Spider-Man and Octopath Traveler. Those two games complement each other nicely. I’ll probably go back to The Messenger and Okami HD at some point as well.

I basically agree with you, and I’m surprised there aren’t more takes like this. Animal Crossing is, without a doubt, the franchise that Nintendo changes the least with every subsequent iteration. It has always surprised me that the fanbase is always so voracious to play a new game, given that they are all so…

Yeah they got rid of starring articles at some point this year I think.  I was bummed too.

I didn’t know fake Paul McCartney wrote the Destiny theme. He’s not OG McCartney of course, but I do have a soft spot for Flaming Pie. Oh well. Damn Wednesday morning drivers.

September 18th, to be exact.

Sometimes! Not usually the game, but often the case. As others have alluded to though, the treated paper products were always the most satisfying to smell new out of the package, like CCG cards or video game manuals.

You should be more open to trying new things.

Yep I agree with every word. I’ve 100%’d five games in my life: Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Infamous Second Son, and LotR Shadow of Mordor. However, this is the first time I’ve ever compelled to get every collectible as soon as they appear on my map. And the biggest reason is because traversing the…

I wish I could upvote your comment to infinity.

Dude, the cops are always trying to good when you help them in this game. You’re not helping them oppress people, or shield their own from prosecution. Isn’t one of the major themes of Marvel Comics that superheroes do not have consistent values, and that sometimes you have to fight alongside people whose moral…

Ah yes, that makes sense.  Thanks! Is it a reference to a specific game, or just general D&D?  I’m wondering if the Lion banner was a reference.
