I was disappointed to find out that the Arcade Edition does not include Season 3 characters. I know they haven't been released yet, but it's hard to get excited when they propose me to spend me more than full price for an almost 2 year old game. I'll just wait for the actual complete edition a couple of years from now. Maybe I'll buy USFIV in a sale...
Yep, third party publishers are going to make it the norm. Ubisoft, Activision, EA, Square, they're all head in it. But there's a resistance on first party, specially Nintendo
@Flaming_Kaiser In those simple days Overwatch wouldn't have half the content it has and interest in the game would slowly die until a cash grab sequel would be released to revive the game. But yeah, I get the point. We have cash grab sequels AND microtansactions in the same game nowadays lol
@Flaming_Kaiser Sure, it can get really annoying, but like Sammy said, I believe it's better with it. I haven't really spent much money on it, and it's really infuriating when you lose an event skin, but without the whales funding the game for us there wouldn't be such a constant stream of free content. Just don't spend money on it and accept the fact that you're never going to get all the skins without a serious grind. I focus on getting everything for my main, which is very doable, and don't lose my head over the rest. Could it be less of a grind? Sure, It's not perfect, far from it. But at least it doesn't harm gameplay.
The only game I've ever spent money on microtansactions is Overwatch. And as Sammy has explained, it's not a bad thing in it. But in Shadow of War it ruined it for me. I know the game is great, but I refuse to buy it at launch. I'm not a fan of Battlefront, but if I were, I'd never buy that game unless they significantly changed its progression system. BF2 looks like it's straight up pay to win.
My opinion is that at this point a dedicated portable, Sony's or otherwise, would only be in the Switch's shadow. I'd say trying to mimick Switch's concept would also be a missed oportunity. Playstation's got it's thing, Nintendo finally got their s*** together, let's keep things the way they are. PS5 should continue to push 4K foward and all that technical stuff.
I'm still baffled that we haven't made a fuss about this situation. The whole gaming community made an uproar at the Xbox One's announcement and Microsoft completely changed their strategy. We should be just as vocal this time. Pressure oughta do it.
@get2sammyb Isn't it September 19th? Tought I was going crazy with the time zones, but then I saw it was on Tuesday and realized it's a typo. 4am here in Brazil, don't count me in, but I'm sure you guys will have everything covered by the time I wake up, right?
Bought DA:I recently and actually fell out of the game because of the boring side quests. After I committed to my love interest, got bored and played Final Fantasy XV, which kinda had the same problem, but not to the same extent in my opinion. Maybe it didn't bother me that much because I actually rushed a bit through the game and then went to do what interested me in the post game.
Edit: Also, completely forgot about Zelda BOTW. It has its fair share of stupid quests. But It's biggest accomplishment is not having a map full of question marks. It doesn't make you feel like you HAVE to complete every single thing on your way. And it's just a great game overall.
I enjoyed the game a lot, but combat is a little bit repetitive. I like my button mashers, but this one just wasn't enough. I did finish the game, just didn't stick around for the post game content.
@bbtothe Yeah, I've seen it. But I'm curious about this new missile ability. Back on topic, check out the new short! It's a-mei-zing! I wonder if @get2sammyb will report on it. Monday's news weren't.
@bbtothe definitely my favorite as well. I hear there's another coming on Wednesday. This was like "just a taste to introduce the new map". Fingers crossed for LĂșcio, Mei or D.va getting some love.

Re: Soapbox: After the Vita's Failure, Why Do People Now Want Console Games on the Go?
@Maxymik That sums it up. lol Launching with BotW was a BIG deal
Re: Soapbox: After the Vita's Failure, Why Do People Now Want Console Games on the Go?
I think it makes sense for Nintendo. I honestly think it's best for Nintendo to not have gone for a normal console with higher specs that would be obsolete in comparison with Xbox One X and PS4 Pro. With that in mind, a handheld hybrid is just the best they can do. And here's a single reason: Pokémon. It is Nintendo's biggest system seller after Mario. Just because it's not good for Playstation it doesn't mean it isn't to everyone else. Sometimes it's not always about what the whole market wants, but what's logic for one of them at the time, and it made total sense for Nintendo. Now, of course they didn't have only pokémon in mind when designing the Switch (that's just my fanboy speaking), but having 2 systems was harming them in a big way, with huge game release droughts. It's best for them, not for Sony. And it's not just about the hybrid nature, but the hybrid nature solves the problem of having to develop for two new systems

Re: Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition Announced, All Updates Will Be Free for Existing Owners
Does it include the DLC stages as well?
Re: Poll: Do You Want Another Portable PlayStation?
My opinion is that at this point a dedicated portable, Sony's or otherwise, would only be in the Switch's shadow. I'd say trying to mimick Switch's concept would also be a missed oportunity. Playstation's got it's thing, Nintendo finally got their s*** together, let's keep things the way they are. PS5 should continue to push 4K foward and all that technical stuff.
Re: This Could Be the Fist of the North Star Game That We've Been Waiting For

Could someone explain to me what has made this game such a big deal? I know what it's about. Just don't think it's THAT special or original.
