This looks great and was by far my highlight from the Direct. Has always and will always weird me out to see a game announced under a working title though!

I’m weirdly excited to replay the Ninja Gaiden Sigmas — which to me were the only Ninja Gaidens my non-masochistic ass could really get into.

I really hope not. I really like the idea of returning to this game every few months to learn the new character and play through their campaign.

maybe it was a tone thing...I’ll try hashtag FixTheFuckingBearPlease next

They haven’t fixed the bear yet? The exact same thing happened to me two months ago!

On the other hand — stretching out a tightly paced narrative doesn’t always work out that well. The Hobbit comes to mind.

Fine but why are you quoting 80% of my own comment back at me as if I don’t remember what I said?

It absolutely has to be done really well — because every scene shared between the two is going to be extensively compared — and I think the conclusion is going to be “Wow these are really similar”...although I’m confident it won’t a 1:1 affair.

It’s still really hard to imagine what a TV show adaptation of an already super cinematic video game is really going to bring to the table — beyond being a version you can enjoy without needing to be semi-good at stealth action video games.

I...didn’t ask for this...

Oh, I actually hadn’t heard that. Interesting.

I didn’t say anything about ME3

Oh yeah I’m totally good with this. Pinnacle station is utterly superfluous. It’s an arena mode in a mediocre-at-best third person shooter.

While my final playtime ending up being longer than AC Odyssey...I have to say I thought Valhalla was actually paced a million times better — simply by the removal of superfluous side quests.

You’re making it sound kind of boring to be honest? Where’s the drama? where’s the tension?

Is a Mass Effect movie inevitable? The cachet of the franchise has certainly taken a hit in recent years.

To be honest as far as unreleased in the west Yakuza games go...all I really want is Kenzan! and Ishin!

This is fantastic news. One of my all time favorites.

I drift in and out of paying attention to the FGC...so this is the first I’m hearing about Gootecks descent into fuckery. It’s disappointing.

Realism is a funny goal because Bad Architecture and Urban Planning is just as realistic (if not more so) than the alternative.
