The gameplay is ok, it could have been a pretty good game but the focus was clearly on wacky references first. 3.50 isn't a horrible deal or anything, but there are so many great games that I personally don't ever see the point of playing a decent or mediocre one even if it s cheap.

No. Play all games. All the time.

What the gently caress is a bokken?

So remember that mecha strategy RPG on steam? Since Visual Novels are doing so well, they decided to just make a straight up waifu dating sim visual novel set in the same universe rather than more mecha battles in space. Because why the gently caress not. This is the future.

Because if you just said "wooden practice sword" it could also be a shinai, and that would go against the original writer's keikaku. Keikaku means plan.

At one point you gotta repossess some vehicles for a loan shark, and you steal a bicycle from a guy who looks an awful lot like Pee Wee Herman. He goes "Oh no! I just waxed it!" and that made me laugh pretty hard.

Evidently Alan Wake remaster and sequel from what I've heard, but the only thing I'm waiting for is the Konami press conference to see how badly they can screw up this year.

Fallout 4 and maybe someone going "oh TLOU2 is not only in development but will be out by December" would probably be the only things to really excite me at e3. That and Konami or Ubisoft having a Microsoft 2013 level poo poo-show.
