I wonder what the decision-making process was behind putting a purchase cost on Marathon. Surely Bungie has actual numbers on how much higher the player count is on a free game. Does it feel that important to be "premium?" You've got to assume that's it, right? "Our games are premium." So stupid

Marathon was always visibly the kind of game that didn't believe in itself

Trails in the Sky might have the best battle theme in a jrpg. That Trails in the Sky 1st trailer goes crazy

It is hard to imagine a structure that more thoroughly defeats the very spirit of storytelling than the video game pick-your-heroine dating menu. A pile of slim will-they-won't-theys where, canonically, no one has ever made progress at all, and payoffs are quarantined in Schrodinger's box.

Finished Cold Steel 4. If Van Arkride gets more than two love interests all 800,000 of my troops will cross through neutral Liberl and lay siege to Falcom

They should add Juna to Trails in the Sky 1st and emphasize that Estelle has been her babysitter for years. I would really like that

Trails of Cold Steel 4 NPC conversations are 85% people talking about sociopolitical situations, 10% impeccable character work, and 4% women talking about yaoi. The last percent is like queerbaiting, but instead of gay people they're baiting the kind of person who picks Team Jacob.

@kriswolfhe.art Thanks for recommending Trails on your podcast. I just beat Cold Steel 3 and this might be the most intelligently planned/written series of bravely noninnovative game stories I've ever played. Kinda like if the Pokemon movies were all about as good as Jurassic Park 1. 10/10 shit

I have my problems with parts of this game. I don't like a lot of the... costuming choices. Musse swings from very grating to one of my favorite characters on a line-to-line basis. But the thing is that Trails of Cold Steel 3 is still Just That Good. Nobody is doing it like this

I demand to be allowed to psychiatrically examine both the people who decided this was the appropriate tone for marketing and the people who respond positively to it

One of the great things about Trails is the mid level villain lieutenants that I have decades of positive feelings about. All they have to do is show me Bleublanc and I'm like "fuckin Bleublanc, of course you're here you bitch" Bleach also pulls this off but it leads nowhere and meant nothing

If you only have Mario Kart and ask for cash in exchange for giving TotK a good framerate then I don't have to buy your console at launch, Nintendo

I don't think there's a group of fans I am less capable of empathizing with than those who prefer the first Fullmetal Alchemist

I'm going to miss the arbitrary field skill locks on some of the treasure chests in Xenoblade Chronicles X. It made me feel like the PC was learning something. It wasn't good, to be clear, but I liked it

I think that the great failure of the script in Xenoblade Chronicles X, besides the stuff that they apparently address in the definitive edition, is that it just isn't woke enough

Fans of Marvel and DC generally have intricate conspiracy theories about why none of their favorite franchises are capable of doing good business. It's just because both companies are among the longest-reigning all-time great world champions of idiotic mismanagement! Your books are still monthly!
