Yeah :same: I tried playing Black Ops 2 back in the day and felt completely outclassed online.

Then I decided I would start taking it a bit more seriously (along with fighting games) and that involved reading guides and training reflexes and I think I do all right these days.

Like we olds won't be MLG-caliber but it's not like a Logan's Run situation

For me the "Oldster" bar is currently set at "Do you relate to Kratos or Joel or some other middle-aged self-insert"

I know you picked this from the top of your head but you seriously could not have chosen worst examples for middle-aged people to relate to

I do relate to NuGoW Kratos but that's not a good thing.

I picked those examples precisely because of how many times I've heard middle-aged dude reviewers/podcasters saying they were emotionally moved by those stories and my inner Freudian wants to say "Tell me about your family life"

Yes I prefer turn-based strategy these days. The minus of TBS is with the exception of XCOM they don't tend to have satisfying unit chatter :allears:

Even without Smash, the Tommy Westphall-style knitting of every game franchise together continues unabated

Aloy is with Geralt and Ryu in Monster Hunter.

Geralt is with 2B in Soulcalibur, and 2B is now in Final Fantasy?

Ryu is in Street Fighter with Akuma, who is with Noctis, Geese, and Negan in Tekken

Sam Fisher, the Assassins, and Solid Snake are also linked. If you take Ezio's appearance in Soulcalibur then they're also part of all this

Edit: I already had forgotten that FF15 had an Assassin's Festival so there are already multiple redundant links

Just.. like... WHY a battle royale? For a studio with super strong design chops with a history of their releases getting overshadowed and suffocated by bigger titles in the same genre, why would they try to push into the genre with the biggest, most suffocating game in the industry right now?

Respawn isn't even the most egregious example, remember that Housemarque is making one
