Like do we know anything about how severe the graphical/framerate/(gameplay?) differences are gonna be between the two versions of the Zelda game?

If it's not really noticeable I'll just get it on Wii U so I don't have to wait years to play it

I didn't see if this was posted already,

but making hax for online games is now a crime in South Korea

I'd be the 'queen of pain' too if I had to jungle the lane with a wedgie like that, haha!

I was sorta looking forward to Night in the Woods but between the time it was announced and its upcoming release my life has descended into the sort of dumb existential anxiety that the game seems to be about, so it's probably a bit too close to home for me to enjoy playing. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Switch release/1st year lineup is gonna be like in 2017 though, and also Before, and if there's some post-release content for Sun&Moon that would be dope.

They hosed up the ranged aiming pretty bad. Given how much they changed from alpha feedback, I won't be surprised if they fix it before release.

Oh yeah, that's what it was. There wasn't a control configuration where ranged aiming wasn't awkward as hell. They've been good about feedback, yeah, so I hope there's a way to make it work like it did in the alpha demo. I really couldn't understand that change at all.

I'm excited for Nioh and the new Zelda game- don't know if I want to wait for whenever I get a Switch to play the new Zelda or just get it on Wii U.

I don't remember the last time I didn't wait a couple years before jumping into a new console but if the Switch actually has a good launch lineup and is at or under like 300 USD...

No, no, I won't do it; I won't be tricked into Buying A Console At Launch...

I will probably fall for it and get the Switch soon after launch. I'm not really expecting a graphical upgrade between the Wii U and Switch versions, I just want to be able to play a big open-world Zelda on something that's portable. That's pretty appealing to me.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I'm super excited for Person 5 and Nioh. One thing about Nioh I liked was how much they added from the first demo to the second, and then they released a video at the PSXperience that showed off even more weapons. I'm hoping for a weapon that's made for a magic build, even if I don't think I'll go down that road. Just having an option to make samurai, ninja, and wizard all be viable will be neat. I know wizard isn't a great term since you'll unlikely be throwing fireballs and poo poo, but maybe having a weapon that gets an extra big boost when enchanted would be enough.

Yeah, they added a new button to double the number of quick-item slots. That button replaced the good aiming button and everything was ruined.

I didn't know it was even supposed to be boss-only before. Seems like the art style demands incredibly charming and inventive levels to not waste the potential.

What game are you most looking forward to in 2017? It's Persona 5 for me. True, it's technically already out, but I can't read Japanese so it's a 2017 game for me.


If Doom 6 doesn't have a "666" joke in its title I will be severely disappointed.

Gemquest. Drunken Master.There's one I'm thinking of called something like Rorona Archer. You choose a class and would shoot enemies from on top of a wall, and after each day you could do stuff around town. Someone will hopefully know what I'm talking about.

Well, it's not a fan favourite in the genre but I loved SimTower back in the day and it's available in-browser here.

Investors are upset it is not exploitative enough.

Like the exact thing joked about a while ago when Nintendo announce they were going mobile is now a reality.

But it's also not just investors but seemingly younger(?) gamers who have been conditioned to be able to play games for free and then pay for things with microtransactions.

Yeah, people complained that it was just a boss rush game so they added levels, but the levels look really boring too.
