Quote this if you knew it was Metroid just from the distinctive space clouds before the logo even began to fade in

He's back again and about time too
And this time he's in the mood
He can fly real high with his jetpack on
With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong

I do! It's just hard to go back to the 240p screen and uncomfortable controls.

This looks so good that I'm not even blinking at "Samus has a melee counter" Sure whatever I'm in.

Audrey from the tree house was cracking under the pressure to do a live infinite bomb jump but I believed in her and she did it

mp4 is being developed by a new studio, but its being headed by a guy that worked on link to the past and other legendary games. its far from an experimental B team. im not exactly worried

According to Wikipedia he's been a producer on everything Retro's done (and most of the paper Mario's...), so he probably has a good handle on the series. New blood is cool.

MH World looks cool but I'm dying over my monkey's paw wish of getting the perfect Monhun machine and then monhun going to every other platform instead.

The inevitable game that's influenced by both Dark Souls and PUBG will ruin my life and my posting for at least a decade

Huh, didn't know it's already out, what's it called?

I just saw they announced an XCOM 2 expansion with rival alien commanders who will try to mess you up and capture your troops for information and ultimately shoot down your base and capture you, and if they succeed you have to free yourself? Also various factions of the Resistance you can support. Sounds cool.

I got XCOM 2 for cheap from humble but never played it, I should get around to that some time.

XCOM 2 is pretty much better than XCOM 1 in every way IMO. Although I don't think the DLC mech things are as cool or as useful as the equivalent from XCOM 1

It's on my list of barely-or-never-played strategy games, I'm just waiting to lose my job or suffer a debilitating injury so I can dive right in.

It's absolutely a grind game, the first time I tried it I got a ways in and thought "ok it's like diablo but instead of right clicking on skeletons for five minutes and seeing what drops I'm fighting a dinosaur for twenty minutes and seeing what drops." so I stopped playing.

Then a while later I thought about it in those exact terms again and realized that I wanted to play that so I did and it was awesome. The grind is real tho and if you don't enjoy the moment to moment gameplay you shouldn't play it. Which is true of all games.

It's loving awesome in Paper Mario when you have ten HP and your attacks do 1, and getting an additional 1 on certain attacks can break the game wide open.
