As someone who just beat ifrit in ff14 that big twist at the end of the shadowbringers trailer really gave me something to think about.

Wait normal Ifrit at level 20ish? You poor soul, you haven't seen ANYTHING yet. Though yeah I can't imagine the reaction some new player would have seeing that trailer and starting FF14 and realizing just how screwed this all gets with that twist. What a weird trailer to show to get people into the game now that I think about it.
 
For the Direct the absolute best outcome for me is more info on Bayo 3, Prime 4, and SMT V. In the best timeline all 3.
 
It's been a year so we'll be seeing Luigi's Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing Switch. People are expecting miracles for the next DLC fighter in SSBU, but I'll be impressed if they revive F-Zero.
I predict that there won't be anything discussed aside from animal crossing and luigi's mansion 3. Oh, and the smash bros dlc is going to be a three houses character because we need more fire emblem characters tbh

it intrigues me for sure, but to be fair ive been dragging me feet on msq, im like a level 40 marauder and still not far enough to get my job quest.

Apparently suda51 is also going to announce either no more heroes 3 or another suda verse game, prime 4 restarted development, so we wont hear from that game for some years, and bayo 3 is a maybe we get more info
Also
>smt 5
> ever coming out

Unless miyamoto finds a way to stick shitty gimmicks into f-zero, the series is as dead as kid icarus and ice climbers

The story is really slow at this point, though the ifrit bit is kind of interesting comparatively speaking. To me when you get past Titan is when things start to speed up. I'd highly encourage you to keep going when you have time. ARR is a little eh especially all the stuff after 50 until just unlocking Heavensward, but I feel Heavensward holds up really well as a story and Stormblood is also pretty good.
 
That's Curtain Lass, she's getting a one-shot next month


Gotta pay for that shit, man.
And ultimately Square doesn’t have the street cred to maybe get some people in at a discount. I can see Keanu taking his gig because he seems cool for anything and CD isn’t likely to do anything embarassing. Mads Mikkelson apparently already knew who Kojima was and jumped at the chance to work with him. Disney and the real actors are not going to consent to their faces being there after EA and Star Wars hit normie press.

All of this for the low, low price of $330.

Do you know how much PAKs cost? They are pretty much giving you the game for free in this bundle.

Also I can't tell if they made Widow ugly or if it's just the uncanny valley from "realistic" CGI.

Watch Dogs 2 was too cringy for me to play for any longer than an hour since it was basically Dangerhair Fantasies: The Game. The trailer even had an anti-Trump thing in it before the guy even got elected. I'm not really surprised WD3 is what it is. I guess a game about ~hackerz~ in Clown World really couldn't be anything but some kind of REEEE garbage.

I couldn't even get far enough into Watch_Dogs 2 to get triggered by its politics.

Compared to the first game, it was just poorly made. Yeah, it added new features and a lot more side content, but the world felt strangely empty (very few people on streets), things like police chases didn't flow well, the cars handled like garbage.

It didn't feel right. And then there was the narrative dissonance. I could completely believe Aiden Pearce picking up a gun and massacring black gangsters. I can't, on any level, believe Marcus Holloway even holding a gun. The game would have been better if they had either made DedSec out to be less like some faggoty meme club and more like a terrorist cell, or if they had made the game nonviolent/limited to nonlethal weapons.

It makes considerably less sense than that. London has become an authoritarian police state, but at the same time "the government has fucked off and extremists are grabbing power. Organized crime is slicing up the boroughs."

This seems to be a common problem in games, especially Ubisoft ones. They're creatively bankrupt, so they just go with the laziest possible story every time, which is "your enemies are evil for X reason, and also they're criminals." They did a similar thing in Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, where every aspect of Victorian London is supposed to be controlled by Templars (which is ironic, seeing as Victorian Britain was one of the high points of classical liberalism, which used to be the Assassin's ideology), yet the Templars are also using street gangs to control the city.

In fact, they advertised the game like the Assassins would be "creating organized crime," but then they completely reversed it where your gang (who is never really shown doing anything bad) tears apart an EXISTING crime syndicate. They should have had the gang shit not involved Templars, but instead involve UNITING the gangs of London (who could have different personalities and styles) to go after the London police, who are Templars.

But that would have required effort, instead of being another yearly cash-grab.
 
Deus Ex is shelved for sure until Crystal Dynamics finishes up the Avengers and possibly for a bit longer since I don't believe Mankind Divided did too well.
I'm sure Squeenix arbitrarily cutting out half of the planned game late in development and attaching it to one of the worst pre-order schemes ever attempted had nothing to do with it's lackluster sales. I'd rather see Eidos Montreal allowed a real attempt to follow-up Human Revolution than handing the series over to the studio responsible for the blandest of the Tomb Raider reboot games.
 
they literally can't present because they're yelling so hard

this is next level trolling

It reminds me of something described in the gulag archipelago. Some dinner event where someone stands up to praise Stalin and the soviet leadership during some speech and the applause afterward goes on for like ten minutes, only in this case only some of the people are afraid what will happen to them if they don't clap.
 
I just checked out the trailer and you're not wrong. Quite the change they made to the Dark Queen:

The art director has to be a Cal Arts grad.
I bet!

Not a fan of the old Design...but the new one looks straight out of a cartoon for 5 year olds & has no breasts.
Looks like one of those crappy Canadian shows!

What gets me is that even if you HAD to use the general design on the right because it NEEDS to be kid friendly, it's not hard to make it look passable if you use the original colors DQ has:

I'm not putting effort into this, but why use purple, if it's not in her original design?
I'm sure this is made by people who obviously don't care.
