This is me. Sony is quickly becoming a second Nintendo for me, irritating business practices and all. Their machines are for exclusives and that’s practically it. I’ll keep buying them for those exclusives but if a game is also available on Xbox or PC that’s where I’m getting it 9 times out of 10.

Exact same boat here with the only caveat being that I play in handheld even less than you. Like near 0%. It’s great that Nintendo’s got strong third party support again. But if I’ve got the choice between playing something like The Witcher 3 on the switch or literally any other platform I’m going with the latter. I’m

Forgot all about them. I’d be perfectly happy with 1440/60 with ray tracing. RT is nice but not nice enough to play at 30fps

I will never give a shit about ray tracing when it’s locked to 30fps. I wish more games would go for the middle ground like RE8. 40fps with ray tracing was a solid compromise. Trying to play TW3 at launch on a PS4Pro locked at 30fps was unbearable. I couldn't parry worth shit. 

This list is flawed. The worst part of every Assassin’s Creed game is the modern day stuff.

Okay, but is it the PG-13 theatrical cut of Tammy & The T-rex or is it the R rated cut? Either way I don’t need no stinkin’ achievement to watch it. I’ll do it for free.

Despite it being a day one buy for me I somehow always forget Midnight Suns is a thing and coming out soon. I blame the delays. 

But not before her show was announced. Which is a distinction I should have been more specific about. 

Technically that’s true, but I’d be willing to bet money on her being chosen because she was on her way to an MCU debut. Iirc she was announced to be in Hawkeye before her game announcement. At this point I doubt we’ll ever see any kind of obscure characters added to the game. I’d even settle for Squirrel Girl which

I’ll give you that one on a technicality. But I’m 100% convinced she was chosen because of her planned MCU debut. I wouldn’t mind Quake either as well as Daredevil. But I really want some kind of totally left-field character just to spice things up. 

If they bothered at any point to add a character we haven’t seen in the movies I’d maybe pop back in to check it out. Even just someone we haven’t seen in the MCU like almost any mutant. 

It’s not my favorite mechanic. It usually feels like it’s added just to arbitrarily add “depth” to inventory systems that don’t need it.

Ahem, it’s “Chorvs”. Jeez. 

Well, I thought this was the monthly games for the now “basic” tier and thought “cool”.

I just imagine Sega being all like “Fuck. We named an entire studio after this character. Maybe someday they’ll nail it?”. It’s okay guys. We won’t mind if Sonic Team doesn’t do a Sonic game. Honest. 

Fuck it. Just hand over development duties to someone else. Anyone else. Sega can handle publishing but can you imagine a mainline Sonic game by Nintendo? I’m sure they could bring the magic back better than Sega has been able to. 

Star Ocean exists in a very specific time and place for me. That being Star Ocean 2 in middle school. I put a ridiculous amount of time into that game. It was corny as hell but I dug every second of it. I still sometimes think about Ashton’s weird obsession with barrels and laugh. I was so excited for it but I

Another aggravating move by Sony. The only way I could personally justify this cost is if it was PC compatible. Otherwise, nah. I’ll stick to my rinky dink Quest 2. 

For me, it’s Beat Saber, Half-Life: Alyx, Blade & Sorcery (with mods) and RE4VR. RE4VR is honestly the definitive version of the game for me. It’s amazing how well they made it work in VR.
