They announced official pink colors?! Hot dog, count me in! I’m beyond ready for a screaming loud game console in my game room with matching controller, but this time by first party accessories rather than third. I will instantly pursue both the plates and controller whenever they launch, haha.

My only real gripe right now is that BTB matchmaking has been broken for several days. You can barely get in one without a dozen disconnects first, and even then now the games don’t autofill if someone leaves. I’ve only been able to get in to Slayer BTBs (which, oddly, has the smallest chance of appearing on the…

I was really hoping this was pink’s time to shine for a coating color when I saw the accessories added, but alas, it was not yet meant to be. My hunt continues!

As far as I know, you have to pay real money as the only method to acquire credits for the store.

Oh, so there are MP cosmetics in single player! The internet hive mind seemed pretty darn sure we wouldn’t be getting anything out of the story for MP because of micro transactions, so I'm very pleased that's not the case. Plus, it gives me plenty of incentive to play the campaign now! The multiplayer is a sneaky good…

I’ve been driven crazy that pink isn’t in the game as an armor color right now, even as a store rotation, when it was in the beta periods before launch. Pink has always been my go to Spartan color! Yellow is a nice enough second choice, and I’m happy to rock it, but I do miss my favorite color.

I would absolutely love mix and matching anything around. Let me embrace the hideous nature of blending feudal style samurai armor with big, boxy shoulder parts from angular sci-fi men.

Honestly I'll make sure to look at the game more thoroughly to make sure I'm not just eating crow on a game that's potentially fun, but the way it's been marketed really soured my first impression. I'm down for being wrong on the game itself, at least!

I can at least vouch for F&B, that one’s alright! Though the wind has definitely gone out of its sails a little, I’ve noticed.

Oh, don’t worry, we have shipped thousands of dollars of it, financially speaking, because my boss knew to order hundreds of boxes of the new Nightfall stuff, haha. Even today I’ve shipped out around 40-50 booster boxes, not counting the spell book or release boxes.

Steve Aoki has also had a lot of ire at my job, a tabletop LGS store, because if I recall correctly he’s a cofounder of MetaZoo, an absolutely ridiculous (and bad looking) TCG that just launched. That’d be fine by itself, but major TCG sites have also been pushing the game like crazy just to increase customer interest…

I’ll have to revisit Judgment to see for certain, most of my memory of it comes from how front loaded the detective stuff in that game is, and the stuff at the very end! I could just be remembering those long evidence scenes in either game, they sure take a while, haha.

I definitely agree the detective stuff at the end had me going “wait, what?” At least let me enjoy the jams!

It’s been mentioned, but the Family Plan is apparently their decided way of any actual value to this, haha. Even two people make it 10 less than an individual, and it’s very easy to find some Discord pals and hop on the train. I even got the Switch stationed at my place of work the hook up for 10 dollars because of…

What I’m looking forward to the most is the return of Gyroids, I love them so much! I have eagerly anticipated filling my home with bizarre noises from them. I like that you can customize their appearance now too!

Boy, I’m sure glad I’m an anime-like avatar everywhere but Twitter, I thought I was really in danger for a minute there!

They're basically just trying to get everyone on the Family Plan now, right? Because 50 solo feels absurd, haha. It's much better to rally up a Discord group and split it 10 a person for the Family Plan. I'm happily going to pay 10 for a year for that kind of thing, but I wouldn't for 50.

You’ve got a point, there. I admit, I was a little bummed about seeing the Kirby news before presentation time, but like, I didn’t feel like it was ruined for me. It still left a lot of intriguing questions — such as if it was finally a proper full 3D title for the series — that I looked forward to discovering come…

Boy, City Trial's really let itself go after all these years!

I was coming here to say the same thing! It seems like SN is to AC as Code Vein is to Dark Souls, and I’m really interested in picking up SN to give it a shot. There's the unfortunate fact that it's one of like, fourteen games I want this year so it might wait a bit to get bought, but I'm still eyeing it since I…
