A PC port of Red Dead Redemption would be cool while they're at it, but if not, I still have my PS3 so I could just get it there. After I finish the GTA pack I got on Steam a while back, probably. Played III and Vice City, still need to play San Andreas and IV though. And V of course, maybe from the next big sale. But then RDR!

Oh yeah for sure, it would be an instant buy for me as well. And a PC release of RDR would be awesome as my PS3 no longer reads discs, so I can't play it :( |

NINTENDO SWITCH HYPE The Nintendo NX is the Nintendo Switch and god damn does it look good. I love the design and it looks like the portable aspect will be great. It's powered by Nvidia, but we obviously have no idea how powerful it'll be. This is looking very promising, and much nicer than the Wii U. I'll probably be selling/trading in my old Wii U for the Switch. OH AND RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 TEASER TRAILER. THIS WEEK CONTAINS SO MUCH HYPE. |

Switch looks cool. I'll wait and see what games it gets though. PS4 has more exclusives (or at least console exclusives -- lookin at you RDR2) that I want, and I still kinda want a 3DS, so I'm not really in a hurry to get a brand new console. And I haven't been able to justify getting a PS4/3DS when I haven't even finished a lot of stuff I own already. But anyway. Apparently they also announced that RDR1 will be coming to PS Now, so it'll kinda sorta be playable on PC. That's progress! |

https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule Looks pretty underwhelming. No Tetris: The Grandmaster or Super Mario Maker event sucks; those are two of the most awesome runs/events/spectacles that have happened at recent GDQs. Instead we get a DKC trilogy relay on Friday night, which should be pretty fun, but it's definitely not as hype as the aforementioned events. Saturday looks great, and there are a few runs I would love to see scattered throughout the schedule (Ori, OoT, Super Bomberman, Mario block, Zelda games, TTYD, etc), but there aren't very many games here that make me feel like "I have to drop everything and watch this". Not sure how I feel about Undertale being the final run. On one hand, it's one of the most acclaimed games in recent times and I'll almost certainly watch the run (assuming I get around to that game before then), but on the other, 1:45 is very short for a final run. Most tend to be 4-6 hours, if not longer. As for the Switch, no BC dropped this from a potential day one buy (would have saved me the hassle of dealing with a Wii U controller) to an "I'll wait and see" buy. I simply want to see if games come out on it on anything resembling a regular basis, and I also want to wait on a new Xenoblade or Fire Emblem. Not many other Nintendo series move the needle enough for me to buy a console. I fully expect to be waiting until 2018. I think this console can be well-supported though. A big part of Nintendo's problem is that they've divided their talent between the handheld and console departments, and handhelds have done better for Nintendo since the Wii bubble wound up bursting. Given that this system can be both a handheld and portable, there's no reason to make a hypothetical 3DS 2 (or a Wii 3 or whatever) and split the talent pool up. Tegra architecture is pretty well-known at this point in time and I'd have to think Nintendo can take advantage of it. I just want to see a steady stream of releases, and at least one in a series I love, before I even think of plopping down $300+. The only problem I can see is that this system is relying on another expensive, non-standard controller. If it breaks or if a button goes wrong or something, you're shit out of luck. I hate spending $50 on standard controllers (they were $20 only two or three gens ago damnit); spending more than that to repair or buy a new one is a kick in the nads. |

Sooo... I just bought a PS4 fairly recently (I still need to get moar gaems for it) but the Nintendo switch looks amazing. Won't be a day one buy for me either but if I see a good response and the gaems roll out, imma give it a closer look. |

Almost certainly going to SGDQ 2017 this July. It's in Minneapolis, again. I guess GDQ really likes the place, at least in summer. We'll never get an AGDQ, which is probably for the best because Minnesota winter is ass. I want to see the schedule before I make any definitive plans, but at this moment, I'm thinking of going on the 6th. I could talk myself into the 5th, depends on the games/other stuff. Not planning on going the whole week at this moment; that shit gets expensive. Seven nights of a hotel room in that part of Minneapolis would run me $700, and that's being charitable. If I were to go the whole week, it'd be because I'm splitting that cost somehow. *hint* I'll be looking into things to do on duller days of SGDQ. I don't want to watch every run just because it's on the schedule lol. That and a person's gotta eat, etc. It's baseball season and the Twins have a home stand. I want to see Target Field, so that's a major plus. This area also has First Avenue and I want to see Prince's purple star/maybe catch a show on a boring night. If there's some weeb shit being shown nearby, you best believe I'm going to see it. But I'll know more about concerts and such as it gets closer. Nobody's made a Switch post yet? The system itself is about what I expected. Nintendo wouldn't be Nintendo if they didn't have some sort of gimmick, and it's probably for the best that they do. Western gamers/journalists lament every system that isn't just another powerful box, but I feel like if Nintendo delivered a powerful box, they'd just say "I already have a PS4/XB1". It's a no-win situation for Nintendo. As a PC gamer, I don't *need* another powerful box. My PC is already a more powerful machine than any console currently out there and will remain such until MS/Sony release their 9th gen systems. I want a console that offers me something different, something I won't eventually get on PC. Nintendo systems and games do that, even if the Wii U underwhelmed me. The big downside to this system is the price of its accessories. $50 for another Joycon/$80 for 2? lol gtfo. $70 for a Pro controller? Welp, looks like I'm learning how to use the Joycons that are packed in with the system. Additional docks are $90? I got two hands; I'm moving my own dock if I want to use the HDTV. What I really want to know is how easy it'll be to have the screen repaired/replaced if something goes wrong. I have two little ones, soon to be three. Shit happens, especially to expensive and proprietary technology that they can drop (or push off a table or whatever) and break. The only thing I see myself buying is a 128 GB microSD card, and that for downloads. Hopefully this leads to the sunseting of the 3DS. The Switch is designed to be a portable and home system; why keep supporting a second portable? The 3DS has had a long and great life, but it's obvious the system's time has passed. Sun and Moon ran like absolute shit, and X/Y didn't exactly run the greatest either. If both the home console and portable developers can make and release enough great games to avoid the notorious dry spells that the Wii and Wii U had, this system could be a real success. Fuck paid online with a blowtorch. Unless Nintendo's service drastically improves, I don't see it being worth the money. Sure, I can set aside a few bucks a month and easily afford it, but I'm old school. I remember the days when online was free on all systems. Then Microsoft found out that they could sell us the privilege of using our own paid internet connection to access their servers, and we'd buy it because we're idiots who have to play with our friends. As it is, one free S/NES game a month and the ability to play MK8/Smash/Splatoon online are not enough to sell me on the service. All that technical shit about the system is cool and all, but what sold me are the games. Xenoblade 2. That's a system seller by itself to me. The first Xenoblade game was bloody brilliant, and the second was still serviceable even if it didn't have the breathtaking art direction/solid story of the first. To hear that this is a sequel to one of my favorite games ever is all it took. Super Mario Odyssey. Shit, I haven't been excited about mainline Mario *at all* since Galaxy. Galaxy 2 is probably good. I actually have it on my Wii U but haven't gotten around to playing it. I hear 3D World is a good game, which is to be expected, but again, it didn't excite me. I don't really do portable Mario, mostly because I have so many other games I want more on portable systems. You know, the weeb shit. But yeah, this is the first Mario game I've been hyped for in quite a while. I really look forward to it. It feels like a lot of love was poured into this game's development, and it may well be the fresh breath of air Mario needs to remind us why it's gaming's most important series. Shin Megami Tensei. Whatever it is, it's SMT. Hearing rumblings it could be a third SMTIV game because of a certain demon's appearance, but after the bait and switch that was the TMS reveal/first trailer, the only thing I know is that nobody other than Atlus knows what this is. I'd rather it be SMTV at this point, but I'm happy with pretty much all SMT. Devil Survivor can sit in a corner with its dunce hat though, fuck it. It's FE with bullshit that would make FE torture to play. Fire Emblem Warriors. A Musou game with Fire Emblem characters seems like a perfect marriage. I don't know anything about this yet, obviously, so I hope the FE Direct later this week is more illuminating. Hopefully they include more than Lords/13/14 characters, even if only as DLC. There's more to the franchise than Lords and the newest two fucking games. While I'm here, I hope the mobile game is, well, good, which would automatically make it Ninty's best mobile game. Breath of the Wild. Don't think I can say anything that I didn't say following E3, but it's still a great reason to get the system. I don't know if I'll get it day one on Wii U to tide me over, but now that's because I'd appreciate the $60 for SGDQ registration. Mario Kart 8. I'll probably sell my Wii U version for some easy cash and buy this version whenever it drops. Mario Kart 8 is terrific, even if I didn't play it as much as I should have. I'd still say I got my money's worth out of it. Portable Skyrim is a nice bonus. It's not worth $60 to me, but if it hits $20, it'd be a nice little "fuck it" purchase. Playing Skyrim while laying in my warm bed with a 720p screen sounds glorious. Snipperclips took a little bit to grow on me, but it's such a goofy title that I couldn't help but smile. It (and/or 1-2 Switch) really should have been a pack-in though; I don't see myself paying $60 for a game that will be at its best when playing with others. I'll sell all my Wii U stuff off if Bayonetta 2, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, and X somehow make their way to Switch. I think they all should; they're great games that didn't get the audiences they deserve because lol Wii U. While I lament that this is a gen of remakes and remasters, it's a bit different with games that didn't get their just due because of the system they were shackled to. |

I didn't watch the conference, I just watched a few trailers for the games I was curious about/hyped for. ARMS looks...fun? I'm not sure, kinda like Wii Sports boxing taken to the next level. Definitely wont be getting that as I'm not interested in spending 80 bucks on another set of joycons just to play that game (I'd rather buy a Pro controller). Zelda trailer gave me goosebumps and made me pretty fucking hyped. It looks gorgeous and seems to be running really well from the footage I've seen. Open world Mario? Sure? Odyssey actually looked pretty awesome, definitely excited about that one. As with Gil that's probably the Mario game I've been most excited about since Galaxy 1/2. MK8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2 made me really happy as MK8 and Splatoon are what made the Wii U kinda worth it for me. This means I can sell my Wii U and the meager selection of games I have for it. Woo? The Wii U was a really big let down for me, so I'm actually pretty damn excited about the Switch. I definitely wont be buying it at launch since there's a new BF1 DLC and fucking Mass Effect Andromeda coming in March, so I'll be plenty busy with those. If they announce a new F-Zero, cool Kirby game, fucking Metroid Prime 4 (or something like that) I'll probably buy it sooner rather than later. Mostly, I'm just looking forward to be able to use a Nintendo console without having to worry about a controller with the worst battery life in the world or without having to wave my hands around. I am disappointed with the power of the system (although it's a bit stronger than the Wii U?), but the artstyle Nintendo uses for a lot of their games don't really require much more. I'm quite interested to see how the portable part works, probably great for virtual console titles (I HOPE THEY MAKE A PROPER ACCOUNT SYSTEM PLEASE), but probably not that great for Breath of the Wild and other highly demanding titles since that thing will be underclocking when undocked. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq1Xzycyp2E FIRE EMBLEM HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE New (well, old, but y'know we never got Gaiden) Fire Emblem might be a nice swansong for 3DS. Between this and Pokemon Sun/Moon, the 3DS is having itself a nice sendoff. I don't count Fire Emblem Warriors, since that's exclusive to new 3DS and I'm not sure how well it'll run on that hardware. Digital Foundry might write something on that who knows. I don't have a lot to say here. It's basically a new Fire Emblem game, and I don't need a lot to sell me on that. Just give me a release date (May 19th) and I'm good to go. Didn't see much of Fire Emblem Warriors, which I guess was to be expected. It looks like a Musou-style game, which is to say: Only buy it if you're into Dynasty Warriors and/or one of the series they've made a game based on. I'll buy this, the Fate game, and the Arslan Senki title at some point. Again, not much to say. They didn't show much. I hoped for a few more characters to be shown, but even then they'd just be Lords anyway. Fire Emblem for Switch is a thing, as expected. Only thing of note is a release window of "2018", which works for me. I expect Xenoblade to be delayed to this nebulous window because it's an ambitious JRPG in 2017, so this works out well for me. The bulk of the presentation was spent on the mobile game. Might not excite hardcore fans, but here's the thing: Gacha games print money. Gacha describes how you get characters, generally by summoning one at a time or ten; depends on how many you want. This game gives us the choice of one at a time or five at a time, and I get the feeling multi-summoning will be preferred in this game because it costs less to summon five characters at once than to summon one character five times. Nintendo wants you to spend real money to do a multi-summon, so this makes sense. Let's be honest: Gacha games are gambling, and they're regulated as such in Japan. A "Japan first" mentality in the case of these games is good for us as consumers, because America does not regulate this shit much if at all. If you're okay with taking the risk of getting absolute shite and/or re-rolling an account once it becomes clear that you can't salvage it, then you'll be okay playing this type of game. If you're willing to spend real money, well, you'll probably be able to build a decent account. This being Nintendo, I can't imagine the game being very predatory. All of their F2P offerings have had reasonable microtransactions, and while I expect this game to be the least reasonable on that front because money, I don't expect them to be as transparently greedy as some mobile companies. Being able to summon for a certain type of unit already makes this sound less like a cash grab than some. We don't know if there will be Japan and Global versions. If we're getting a separate version, I'd recommend switching to Japan once we learn the basics. Japan is a more competitive mobile market, and as such, they tend to get better login bonuses, sales, and events. If you intend to play this game, especially as F2P, I recommend re-rolling for high tier units. This takes time, so prepare to re-roll for days if necessary. We probably won't know what is high tier until the game drops, so for now I'd say you should only accept an account with 2+ five star characters. We don't even know if 5* is the highest rarity, but we will soon enough. Don't blow your whole load of orbs on the first fucking banner/characters either! A big reason you're re-rolling for high tier units is so that they can carry you through the game with ease, and thus you'll feel less need to pull for new ones. As these games get older, units will grow more powerful, and those are the units you'll want to pull for. That is, unless you have a favorite character. People like Marill and I would probably spend days re-rolling for a Mia and Nephenee account. Assuming they're super rare/any good but y'know. As for the game itself, it looks like smol Fire Emblem. A variety of maps and objectives will be needed to keep people interested in this game; rout x 1000 will get even more boring in the mobile space and will result in players dropping this game fast. That's the last thing Nintendo wants. I don't really need much, just enough to keep me engaged for the hour or so a day I'd spend playing. celica would be a contender for waifu of the year, except... http://kotaku.com/atlus-brings-two-utawarerumono-games-west-in-2017-1791327251 Meant to add this to my post but stuff came up. Between the FE stuff and this, today has been an incredible day for weeb gaming. I had given up hope on these games coming over. I would have expected them to be announced at/near the end of the most recent anime series' run, so spring-ish. But suddenly, out of the blue, based Atlus picks these up and reminds me why they're the fucking best. And now I don't know how I'll have money for this, Nier: Automata, the first Nier so I can catch up, P5, FE: Echoes, SGDQ, and other stuffs. My wallet will be as empty as my heart I guess. Kuon for waifu of the year. Well, unless one of the P5 girls turns out to be incredible, like Naoto levels of awesome. Which is possible because Persona. And now I'll almost certainly stop putting the first VN off. Thinking my next few games after Mafia III will be Nier, Utawarerumono, 2064: ROM, and some other VNs I haven't gotten to. But who knows.

http://www.thejimquisition.com/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-review/ You know why I'm posting about this. It's not so much the review itself, which by and large is solid. No, I post this because people got mad over a *seven* out of ten. According to Jim Fucking Sterling, Son's scale, which actually uses every number on the scale (and not just 7-10, with 4-6 being shorthand for "mediocre" or "bad"), it's a good game. I think his description of what "good" is could use a rewrite. A good game is not a game you can merely chuckle at. It's one that you can buy and still enjoy a fair bit but admit has some possibly glaring problems, but that's nitpicking and it's not really the point. I don't think anything this review said is new or groundbreaking. People have criticized the weapon durability system, as I feel is right and just because it sounds like bollocks, even if the game practically drowns you in weaponry. That section of his review does feel more like a bash than a legitimate critique of the feature, but irreverence is kinda Jim Sterling's thing. Either you like it or don't. I'm sure people have criticized the stamina bar without upgrades being shorter than Tyrion Lannister, but I can't recall much about that in the many reviews I read. This is probably because it's not overly important to me, but what's unimportant to me might be a dealbreaker to someone else. That's a reason we have different reviews. People have different perspectives, and getting as many of those as you can before you make a $60 purchase (or in this case, probably $360 because Switch) is always a good thing. I want to read the perfect 10s and understand why people are gushing over the game. I also want to read the 7s or lower and understand what others dislike about this game. And yeah, the middling opinions have their place too, even if a middle ground is pretty damn rare in video games these days because like everything else, video games is a polarized hobby too. I have no problem with legitimate criticism or disagreement. It's not like everything he said is objective fact, after all, and it's my understanding that he got at least one thing wrong. This naturally has been rubbed in his face and used as a reason to "no longer take him seriously herp derp", as if they ever took him seriously to start with. It's just that when there are threads on various gaming sites which serve as hubs to bash the guy in every way you can think of, and when the most fanatical of Zelda devotees are DDOSing his site/trying to hijack his social media, it's gone beyond "legitimate criticism or disagreement". And over what? A 7/10? The game falling from a 98 to a 97 on Metacritic, which has its own issues as an aggregation site? Whatever the reason, it's so damn insignificant that I can't fathom why people are expending so much energy over it. It's a fucking game review, not the future of our country or something that really, truly matters. I think I've made my stance on reviews abundantly clear by now. Simply put, I want to read various perspectives on anything. I want to read the good, the bad, and the ugly. Using reviews as a tool to validate your own perspective (which funnily enough is often formed pre-release in the minds of zealots) goes against the very purpose of reviews. I understand that people want to justify the sixty dollars they spent, but the only way to justify that is: Did I get something positive out of this product? That something doesn't even have to be fun, but in this industry, that's what you're looking for 90% of the time. It can be an emotionally resonant story, learning about something you never understood before, or anything else you might conjure in your mind, but I don't think gaming is that mature of a medium (yet - I hope it gets there; that's the fucking reason I criticize) to see such things in anything but indie titles. Point being, *you* are the final arbiter of whether or not you got something positive out of a given work/product, not some damned review on the internet. I think we all know this because we're well-adjusted people, but still. As for scores, I'm not a fan. It's hard to boil everything that goes into a video game down to one number. I don't like every game for the same reasons. What if a game has an incredible soundtrack but lacking everything else? What if a game has shitty gameplay, story, or characters, but excels in every other area so much that you stick it out anyway? There are tons of hypotheticals, and I find it really hard to score them, much less against one another. I'd have to determine what it is that I value in most game genres, which isn't impossible. In a JRPG, I'm going to put more value on the story and characters than I do the gameplay, but that shit matters too y'know. In an FPS or TPS, the gameplay is probably going to reign supreme; that's why you buy those games. How do you apply those numerical values consistently, anyway? Are "bad controls" worth docking half a point? If you do that but dock a third of a point for a game with slightly better but still not good controls, that just opens the door to inconsistency and blaaaaaaaaaah, gamers will criticize you over it. Better to leave scores to personal interpretation than "objective fact"; that's what you should be reading for anyway. It's more trouble than it's worth, and I'm of the opinion that if my words can't help you decide if a game is good/for you, I didn't do what I set out to do with a review. I find scores most useful in story-driven media, but that may well be because I find it far easier to judge the worth of a story than anything else. I've experienced enough stories in various media to have a very good idea of what makes a story work, and as such feel somewhat confident applying scores to stories. Ideally scores would be consistent and would not be used as cudgels in fanboy wars/against critics who go against the norm, but gamers are stupid. They're stupid enough to value the number assigned to sum up a review than the possibly thousands of words that went into it. That's probably a good summation of the problem: Gamers place too much emphasis on scores and not enough on things like, you know, the content of reviews or stories. As an aside, fuck the term "gamer". Between GG and the groundswell of anti-SJW sentiment in the hobby/amongst its biggest figureheads (sup Pewds/JonTron/etc), I'm not sure I want to use the term or make some effort to reclaim it. They can fucking have it and I hope they enjoy the negative connotations. |

In a general sense, I think if you're gonna use a scale of 1-10, you should actually USE the whole scale. If the game (or whatever you're rating) is trash, give it a 1-3. If it's bad/mediocre, give it a 4. 5 should mean it's average, since mathematically speaking it's in the MIDDLE of the scale lmao. 6 should be not bad/decent/kinda like it, 7 is good, 8 is great, 9 is amazing, 10 is a masterpiece. Seems like gaming reviews really enjoy inflating their scores, which makes fanbases think that a 7 is just ok, when a 7 should mean it's GOOD. I see music reviews do this too but it doesn't seem to be that prevalent as gaming. People need to ease up in general on reviews they disagree with, but especially when the reviewer actually more or less agrees with them even if the score isn't super high. Bad reviews can exist, like if the reviewer makes terrible points as to why the game (or whatever) isn't good or is good, but if the review is well written and thought out and you just happen to disagree with the opinion, just move on with your life. A "bad" review shouldn't make you like the game any less if you already like it. |
