Oh, that's a shame. I've only ever heard one Run The Jewels song, and I really liked it, but it lacked some of the more explicit stuff you're describing here. Bummer.

I'm so happy I've never played a game of Pandemic with a "lead person" dictating what we should all do; even the first time I played, with a group including only one person who had played before, it was a very democratic experience. I wouldn't have thought a coop game could get as rancorous as a competitive game, but…

I'm so sad that I had the Pokemon League twist spoiled for me with a headline on… I want to say Kotaku. It's really one of the coolest series shake-ups I've heard of, and I'm really looking forward to it!

I can dig it, if only because it's not the norm for the series, but I think they stuck the landing on it handily. Eldin Volcano, in particular, gets some cool visual makeovers, and any time i could spend with the truly incredible time-shift mechanics in the desert was welcome.

I hate finding out early in a game that I can't pause cutscenes by pressing the start button and having it skip over whatever scene was occurring. Not sure there's an elegant way to avoid it, but it makes me feel like a dummy.

The absence of co-op is the biggest letdown on HWL. My wife and I really enjoyed the Wii U version, and since both of us own a 3DS, it would be cool to relive that enjoyment with the more robust mechanics of the handheld version. C'est la vie, I suppose.

Hoooooooray, welcome to the Hyrule Warriors Legends club. I don't think I'll ever play a game as much as I played Pokemon X (300 hours, wtf), but Hyrule Warriors Legends is easily my second-most played on the 3DS. There's no way it ought to work, as it strips out the visuals and cooperative elements of an excellent…

Darkest Dungeon was on PSP? Golly, I just sold mine not that long ago - that game would have been perfect for it.

There are a lot of technical issues I can tolerate (begrudgingly), but crashes drive me nuts. Like, if there's one thing a game should be able to do, it's start up and continue running. And it's not even like the PS3 is a PC with various components and software that the designers didn't anticipate. Good on you for…

Cool new avatar, though I'll miss Guts Man of course. Cheers for including your former username in your new one for clarity :)

Oh cool, I didn't know that places you visited got compelling story installments later on! DQVII hasn't been occupying my 3DS slot recently, but I intend to get back to it at some point. If only they had a mode that made the combat more challenging/compelling.

I'm really hoping we don't get a cruddy version of a game that runs (or looks) more beautiful on the Switch. It's quite up in the air, too, since Twilight Princess is generally regarded as having been superior on the Gamecube rather than the Wii, so who knows what'll happen.

Definitely play Skyward Sword!! I just played it for the first time over the past few weeks and would love to chat with someone on here about it. My review is elsewhere in this thread, but the TLDR version is that "it's excellent with a few super-irritating but ultimately insignificant design flaws." I had the good…

Salt & Sanctuary sounds so great! Something about the visuals put me off at first glance, along with the fact that I tend to be significantly worse at tough-as-nails sidescrolling bosses than I am at confronting their 3D variants in the Dark Souls series.

Thank you so much for telling me that - since Charjabug and its evolution appear in Sophocles' trial I figured I had to evolve Charjabug on that mountain. Now I won't waste that time!

Holy crap, The Witness is this month's Game Revue Club game?! It's easily the top of the pile for me in 2016 Gaming, so I'll pop on over to contribute. What an incredible experience.

What I am playing this weekend is Pokemon Sun. I'm at Route 12 on Ula'Ula Island, having recently completed the Electric Trial - that was perhaps the most fun I've had on one so far, with my wife and I collaborating on the quiz. My roster is Snorlax, Mudbray, Bewear, Slowpoke, Lanturn, and Typhlosian; of those,…

Let's talk Zelda - what I'm not playing is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I wrapped it up last Sunday, and here are my thoughts: It was extraordinary. The visuals were outstanding, the battles were tense, and the backtracking didn't bug me since each area expanded or was significantly altered upon return visits;…

It's maddening how willing people are to abandon the values they claim to espouse when it's "the right people" being targeted. Ugh.

It's worth saying that I haven't read this anywhere and am speaking purely from my own experience and understanding of these things - I suspect a thinkpiece online somewhere could offer a more authoritative perspective.
