Can never say for sure, but YoshiP is the lead for 14 as well. 14 has by far one of the best stories of any game you'll ever play (it just takes like 600 hours to get through all of it).

Spiderman 2's on this list for me, too. But agreed on these two. I was convinced after the demo.

I'm having a lot of fun in the Cyberpunk replay (so much so that I scrapped about 12 hours of gameplay from it when I found out that punching one particular dude in the face locked me out of some cool abilities I'd want later), but this stuff and its impending release make me want to try the FFXVI demo.

Demo is a bit poorly optimized as it is. However you can feel the themes of the story and get a handle of the combat system if that’s interesting to you. It’s just the prologue and then they also have a section that allows you to practice the combat system with more abilities available

Yeah I preordered the deluxe version of Spider-Man 2 with extreme confidence. They could literally not improve a single thing from the first two games and simply give us a new story and I’d be thrilled.

Well the demo did its job. I chuckled at how GoT it all was, but I definitely want to see where the story goes now. Kotaku called it Devil May Cry in a Final Fantasy Tactics world and that's about as ideal an action game as you can put in front of me.

Care to share which ones?


Correction, I bought off Walmarts site not Amazon because delivery was quicker. All the cards worked.

I found them on Amazon for next day shipping and they arrived today. Only did a few so far but I’m liking them. I’ve gotten a lot better and started doing a lot more exploring anyways so I’m not struggling as much. These will be nice to have!

Nothing interested me until the new 2D Mario showed up. That looks like a lot of fun.

I'm excited for the Super Mario RPG remake, Pikmin 4, Star Ocean 2 remake, Wario ware, and the new Mario LSD game.

Just watched some trailers. Inexplicably excited for Star Ocean 2. It's one of the defining RPGs of my childhood and I thought surely it was lost to time and how poorly the remainder of the franchise had gone. I cannot wait to go back to it.

The RPG remake looked good, too. That one didn't feel 'lost' to me, but a fresh coat of paint won't hurt. And it'll be a cash cow for Nintendo I'm sure.

The new 2D Mario looked very Rayman-inspired. P5T looked interesting, too. Might end up checking it out - will see what reviews say.
