So having just finished Minit last week, I have some thoughts on its sales potential. I really enjoyed it, but I also understand that it’s specifically aimed at my childhood of playing Link’s Awakening obsessively like a very particular brand of cocaine. But outside of people with that singular game experience (and I…

I agree, the deluge on the eshop is getting out of hand lately, but in addition to a lack of moderation a lot of that also seems to come down to the simplicity of the shop’s design and the lack of sections. PS4 definitely has a whole lot of shovelware, but outside of sales I rarely know it exists because it’s so easy…

If it had come out in May or June - prior to the summer indie onslaught of Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, etc and not a week or two before Hyper Light Drifter and Undertale - I think I would’ve been much more excited to give it a shot. But as it is, I’m swimming in high quality indie games. Add that to the fact that I’m…

...so I’m guessing there’s already a thriving corner of tumblr dedicated to what happens when Toad puts on a crown and becomes a sexy prince waifu. 

To everyone wondering why VIII is missing - I’d bet money that it’s because if I remember correctly the version on Steam is just a fixed up version of the old PC release (yup, VIII came out on PC back in the day, as did VII), while VII and IX have both had PS4 versions recently that polished them up quite a bit.…

“And now, one more thing for you Earthbound fans...

I’ve been slowly but surely replaying the middle FFs over the past couple of years now that they’re easier to access and play on modern systems via Steam and PS4 / Vita. I started with X and VII, then finished a slow play of XII last weekend and am about to wrap up IX this weekend (I play too many games concurrently).…

I have such mixed feelings on the project. I loved the shit out of VII growing up, as it was my first FF and I played it for a disgusting amount of time. The world is amazing, and the possibility of exploring a more vibrant and fleshed-out version of that is incredibly exciting. HOWEVER, I think that Square’s recent…

“...and Civilization VI”

I’m right there with you. I’d mail SE my credit card. Hell, I’d even take a Tactics Advance Collection. I just need my fix of that sweet, sweet tactical action.

XV isn't finished, and considering the fact that they've already rereleased a two year old game to double dip AND made this secondary version, I don't think they learned a goddamn thing. In fact I think it's worse. I miss the pre-Nomura days when they had constraints and deadlines - the average development cycle for…

The only possible benefit I can see in this is if this helps to convince them to start porting the classic FFs to Switch. They're already on Steam, which probably simplifies things a bit. Come on, you dumb bastards, for once just do the logical thing.

If the next Batman game could mix the Batman portions of the Arkham series with the character focus of the Telltale game, it could be legendary. 

*points overhead* “Oh look, the point!”

So it sounds like this game has the same sort of ‘failings’ that the Arkham games had in my mind: they were nearly perfect Batman simulators, but felt a little hollow to me because they left out his other (and more interesting, in my opinion) half, Bruce Wayne. I wish that Arkham City / Knight would have started with…

I always assumed that, like her suit, her ship was also from the Chozo, which is why it seems both so unique compared to others and also stylistically matches her suit.

Counterpoint: Nah.

Too bad the suit only spends half the time on Master Chief and the other half on somebody else. Hard to properly finish anything that way.
