Also the price. I thought they were going to hit it out of the park when it was rumored to be $250, but I think $300 is too high compared to the other consoles AND compared to other handhelds.

Meh, I don't think the joycons (stupid, stupid name) look uncomfortable, and if they are there's always that controller bracket thing to hold them. Having now watched the Zelda trailer, it does indeed look awesome, however I am very very much reinforced in my opinion that voice acting will detract from the game. Zelda's voice was terrible.

Well, that certainly freed up some money in my entertainment budget this year. Zelda, Mario, Pikmin and Pokemon are the only games on the Switch I'm even remotely interested in, Zelda I can get on the Wii U, Mario and Pokemon aren't coming out until this fall, and Pikmin is only a rumor (I know Pokemon is only a rumor too but it's a much more concrete one). Also, I am not sold on Mario Odyssey, that "real world" stuff is just weird and off-putting to me.

The EU is anything not in the movies. Most of it was made non-canon by Disney, Clone Wars and Rebels remain canon but they're still EU.

I read somewhere that studies have found that how late people get up/stay up/eat dinner/etc directly correlates to TV schedules, so since people in the Central time zone are on the Eastern TV schedule they do everything an hour earlier than people in the Eastern time zone do.

The next video is finally up. It's funny, as soon as they stop showing combat I start getting interested in the game again...

That's fine, I'll be in bed, so I won't see it until I wake up anyway.

I wish people would stop talking about it. I'm excited but I'll be in bed by the time the thing even starts, so I'd rather just be able to forget about it and then wake up tomorrow to all the new info.

Um, they are dead, at least in a bodily sense. Are you saying Darth Maul is a Force Ghost? Because my understanding was that he is still physically, bodily alive.

Reviews are out: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/5n3x02/gravity_rush_2_review_thread/ Consensus seems to be that it's basically like the first one, but improved in every way. So that's good.

I can see the argument for higher resolution (I downsample everything I can) but other than for VR any framerate over 60 just seems gratuitous.

Neither do we, but that was the ad campaign.

It's for stuffed crust pizza, the whole ad campaign was about eating the pizza backwards.

Really? I got the info from Eurogamer, and it didn't say it was US only.

The Android versions of the Squenix GO series (Hitman, Lara Croft, Deus Ex) are free on the Amazon app store.

I generally don't either, just thought I'd mention it.

I've heard that if you pirate the dlc the legit base game will recognize it fine. Not that I want to test that on my Origin account...

That's cool that it doesn't need an internet connection. I assumed it was sending images to Deep Mind or something.

The more I think about that video the more disinterested it makes me in this game. I liked the slower, more tactical cover-based combat of ME2 and 3. I'm sure this combat is supposed to look "dynamic" and "exciting", but as Hot Heart said on Twitter it just looks messy.

The three Assassin's Creed Chronicles games are on Humble Bundle at the pay-what-you-want level, so I got them (plus Assassin's Creed 1, which I already have) for $1.

Well at least then the drought would be over...

Supposedly the Switch is not region locked, so you could import the NA version.

I would expect more like 3, but I take your point. Luckily I was already planning to get a nice power bank.

Destiny isn't boring from a gameplay perspective, it's a fantastic shooter, it's just boring from a long-term engagement perspective. But yeah, that trailer put me off. Mass Effect 2 is free on Origin right now (keep forever once you've added it to your account). Sadly all the important DLC still costs a total of about $15,000. It does come with Zaeed, but not Kasumi, Overlord, LotSB, or Arrival. Overlord is skippable, but you're really missing out with the rest of those.
