Look I'm the first up at the plate to get irritated at scantily clad video game ladies but that argument of "half naked men? well she has an rear end" is weak af.

If anything Nintendo has just decided that they're committed to bringing us sexy video game characters of all genders.

I hate myself for typing that sentence. Do I have to start a DeviantArt account now?

Self flagellation while watching Sarkeesian videos is your only repentance.

That Samus is doctored right? I don't remember her acquiring a badonkadonk expansion in Smash 4.

It's for sure a mod, Samus has a rack I could mount a server on and an rear end to match but nothing like that.

Octopath tickles me just right; I tend to hate faux-retro aesthetics but it manages to really look fantastic. I like how it carries itself overall. Also, I guess we're to the point with JRPGs that I was actually pretty surprised it has full on random encounters in the field instead of dudes wandering around that you run into to engage.

Also I’m not exaggerating when I say that Doom is easily GOTY 2016 and if you haven’t played it you’re missing out. Arcade mode on it is AMAZING

Thats pretty much exactly what I thought of while watching the direct. I can't imagine it'll be as bad as the early SaGa games though.

Imagine if SaGa exchanged its mechanical obscurantism for higher production values. This is my impression.

The game is sex for soundtrack and audio design. The intro syncing the shotgun to music as you start the first level tells you you’re going to have an amazing time

Octopath post-demo spoiler: Is there anything interesting in the post-demo cave? It was nice to go up against some tougher fights but the items there were basically the same stuff and a shield I had already bought. Did I miss a hidden boss or something?

On some technical level perhaps but it scratches a different itch. Octopath satiates my nostalgia for OG FF while SF2 looks like the manual/poster art for Secret of Mana or something.

Both good, but aiming at different targets.

FFXV was the fastest selling game in the series history and made back it's budget on day one on two separate systems, somehow I don't think the niche SaGa-alike that is only available on the Switch is going to do that.
