Truly, it’s great to hear that they understand what fans of the series actually want.

Since Elden Rings success, fromsoft games don’t get deep discounts, really. They raised prices for the Dark Souls games, as well.

Here, a switch is $400, while a Switch 2 is $630.

For a couple hundred extra, I wouldn’t expect anything in the Switch 2 to be worse than the Switch 1, personally.

Wonder how it’d be if they didn’t include a cheaper Mario Kart bundle, as well. I had many people arguing with me that the price of MKW wasn’t $80 because of the bundle.

5.5, in my opinion, is a very corporate edition of the game. There wasn’t any actual change or reason for a new edition other than Hasbro wanted D&DBeyond and the money it got, and the way to do that was make a “new edition”. But people liked and were playing 5e so, make a backwards compatible system that’s totally the same thing.

The 2024 version of D&D, in my eyes, doesn’t fix any of the actual issues with the game. They change some wording and change some abilities but none of the core issues are dealt with. So to me, it’s a pointless cash grab.

While I’m not a huge fan of BotW and TotK, I think it’s a disservice to say they were a cheap way to pump out games. You can see the design intent in both exploration and gameplay mechanics. There’s a lot that works well in those games that allows for the player to continue playing for a while and still have fun.

And this is probably the only time I’d be seen defending those games.

Which is funny since I’ve played all three of those for the first time recently, and FF7 doesn’t hold up in comparison to 8 and 9. But I can see at the time how 8 could be seen poorly in comparison to 7 and 9.

I bought it quite cheap because it looked like a fun time, and have over the years since played through it 3 times. The gameplay mechanics are a blast.

I never had an Xbox, so really only grew up playing Halo Reach (I think) co-op when I’d go to a friend’s house. But I recently played through most of the halo games with a friend and I have to say, I agree. I can’t remember any particular moments or scenarios, no part of the story that stands out in my mind, etc. It was fun enough to run through most of them (though we did get tired of it, which is why I said “most of the games”), and I can certainly see why for when they came out, they received the attention they did but can’t say I think the reaction would be the same if it came out now or that it really holds up to the standards it seems to have set.

I know people will tell me I’m wrong, but I dropped P3R because of the dungeons. So if 4R is more of the same, I doubt it’s something I want to play.

The reference to that in the RE7 DLC was hilarious.
