60 dollar appetizer sounds about right.....

Do I want to play this game? From everything it sounds, hell yes. Nostalgic beats w/ modern gameplay

but asking the fans most likely to pay 60 bucks for 1/20th of a game is just a big no no, especially when you consider that the most likely fanbase to play this knows just how… Read more

This preview made me genuinely excited for the game now. Read more

“Sorry, Infinity Engine purists—the combat in Baldur’s Gate 3 is entirely turn-based.” Read more

Does anyone really actually prefer the old infinity engine real-time-but-you-can-pause system? Sure, it’s fine when you’re under level 3 and all you do is just attack and maybe cast magic missile once. But after that it’s utter chaos and I just end up pausing every couple seconds because I’m not an AI that can control… Read more

I’ve seen quite a few complaints on the reveal that it’s not just BG1+2 with better graphics, but honestly, I don’t think it should be. Real-time with pause is a combat system that works well with something like the 2nd Ed ruleset, where most low-to-mid-level combat turns are “I attack” and only once in a while did… Read more

Being “rewarded” with a chance to win gifts from a raffle system where tickets are “paid” via mandatory extra hours is the premise of a Black Mirror episode that has yet to be written. Read more

That Decima Engine is really good. Sometimes I think about if BioWare had a chance to use that instead of Frostbite and then Mad World plays and I have to go have a lie down. Read more

Basically, all the other Fighter’s Pass characters were third party with unique gameplay. So people were expecting that. Instead they got salty at the reveal of a character from a series with eight reps (two of whom are also Echo Fighters). I love Fire Emblem myself, but even I can see the problem with this. Doesn’t… Read more

Casual here. I was excited to see this, and am genuinely shocked to see the negativity. Can someone please explain the negative reaction? Read more

I’m guessing this is how it went at Nintendo: Read more

So which are there more of now: Fire Emblem characters in Smash, or Western-localized Fire Emblem games? Read more

“There will be another character announcement, what could Sakurai possibly talk about for twenty minutes?” Read more

Legitimately surprised. I figured there wouldn’t be another house Nintendo character until the next full Smash game. Read more

Never seen fans turn on an announcement so fast. Read more

Why do you keep doing this to us, Jason?!
Jokes aside, a month for polishing FFVII sounds like very short time. Should we be hopeful or worried by this delay? Read more

Jason if you could quit delaying or cancelling games this year that’d be great, thanks. Read more
