Okay, I guess the scalpers and people who empty-preordered have let their foot off the gas - managed to snag a copy at a best buy. Hopefully all my blathering is helpful to others lol.

Imo, the biggest question about royal isn't whether its good or not if you played vanilla, but whether you can stand another go-over of 100 hours to get to the new semester. Course I didn't play vanilla.

so the collector's edition hasn't been available to preorder until today(yesterday?). It's already being scalped on, so FYI. But doesn't seem to be available anywhere....? Well, I didn't want it that badly but stores wouldn't let me preorder it and apparently don't have an option to alert me to when...

it fixes a major complaint(at least from the C&R podcast team), and i agree.

I agreed with alot of what they had to say, but yeah, royal does seem to fix alot of vanilla's quirks- I didn't play vanilla either.

Fair - I definitely agree the story jumps the shark(there's a reason 'getting norted' became a meme). And although I kinda mentioned it, you've made me miss the villain league even more. Supposedly, melody of memory 'redeems' khiii and gives us a reason to be excited again, but I'm skeptical. EDIT: ...

I've left my thoughts in the all-encompassing persona thread, and still am finishing up royal to give those thoughts, but a couple notes: Royal buyers get free DLC that'll make you be overpowered, should you choose to use it. They don't tell you so I had no idea till poking around w/ ng+ lol. You ne...

On Kingdom Hearts and Disney - how did this happen? Disney was much less powerful in the Video Game space back then, like how Marvel was on the verge of bankruptcy and treating its licenses for movies like workers in a brothel. As for how this series still is going, I'd say sales. As much as the gam...

They have said about the cut off being 2-3 years but I don't think that means anything new from them will be cross gen, for example we already have Demon Souls and Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart as next gen exclusives, but then equally we have a game like Horizon Zero Dawn 2 which will be on PS4 to...

Doesn't exist yet. I end up purchasing a console when I have to, so we'll see when the next Kingdom Hearts(used to be a guarantee, but we'll see) or fighting game comes out. Even then, I could hypothetically just stay "current gen" on xbox and grab it, as they've pledged to support "G...

real time strategy that isn't mobile garbagio? Is it possible to learn this power!?!?

I'm thinking they shouldn't have taken this project on in-house, but should have farmed it out to a reputable studio instead. Eighting did well for them before. Capcom haven't developed a fighting game internally since Fighting Jam/Evolution and I'm really afraid they don't have the chops to do it ...

Gaming pundits took to it much more warmly than, say, Stadia. Though as you already mentioned they got into a bit of legal trouble.

With SamSho, I was completely new to the series. But in the fallout from the strange fall of Capcom and general wariness of Capcom shilling, as well as the confidence to move outside of Capcom with Injustice 2 and DBFZ, I wanted to support as many companies entering the sphere as possible. I knew NO...

November Plus games are:

Bugsnax (PS5)
Hollow Knight and the second Shadow of Mordor game (PS4)

don't forget destruction allstars. I imagine a majority of people will PSPlus that game rather than drop 70 US

Did not realize there was a proper MVC topic, I've been going backwards through this forum . Anyway, I gave my 2 cents on mvc2/3/I in the capcom versus thread and now to absorb this one...

Capcom Vs Series MVC2 While I can’t put too much commentary towards the game itself, the legacy of it is astounding. Akuma being the signature crossover character(a rule capcom broke eventually, sigh). It’s direct sequel having roster choices based on its meta, how long lived it was and still is. As...

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/fire-emblem-shadow-dragon-and-the-blade-of-light-switch/ On one hand, I'm super happy that they're doing this, it's really cool and I will definitely get it. On the other hand, The the DS version already felt like it hadn't aged well when it came out 11 years a...

I found it kind of funny how over the last couple of weeks one minute we were getting stories of how PT will be backwards compatible on the PS5, based on quite literally nothing, it was just one site guessing it 'probably would be', then loads of other sites ran with it, to it now being confirmed t...
