Just been playing that new Disney game lately

It also holds up really well graphically. Granted, I'm playing at 4k with the Alias Isolation mod, but once you do that all the assets and everything are great, it's really only the character animations (particularly faces) that look dated.

Tekken 7 Finally gave this one a shot because of the Tekken 8 hype. My first impression of the game was not great. It's so different from every other fighting game I've played this year. I mean, going from Street Fighter to Guilty Gear isn't that much of a paradigm shift. Guilty Gear is faster and crazier but they have a lot of fundamentals in common. Tekken is a whole other ball game, though, and it took me a while to get used to it. I played through the story mode, which is so insane that I actually had to stop and go on wikipedia to read the plot summaries of Tekken 1 through 6. Turns out this series goes hard on its nonsensical plot. Then I came back to it and it still seemed fucking insane but at least I had some kind of context now. I also watched Tekken Bloodline on Netflix. It's surprisingly decent. Not sure how much you'd get out of it if you're not already invested in the story of Tekken, though. Anyway, by the end of the story mode I sorta had a better sense of how to play so I picked Kazuya and started practicing some of his simple combos. Played online for a bit and it's actually pretty fun! I have no desire to try getting good at this, though. I've already put so much time into SF and GG that I don't feel like dropping them for something completely different. It's a pretty fun game to play casually and I'm happy to leave it at that. Oh and it has a pretty straightforward achievement list, which was a pleasant surprise coming from a fighting game.

Hey, we're back! I can finally post this. I've waited so long but it's finally here. ...although it's been out for a week and I still haven't started it. I really need to stop getting distracted by side-cases because at this point it's gonna take me another week to finish Judgment and then I won't have enough time left to wrap up Trails from Zero before Persona 5 comes out. I may end up keeping Zero for after P5R, to be honest. I mean, I've already waited like half a decade. What's another month or two?
