That’s a rough one for sure

I haven’t played the new one but even in Eternal they were losing me. Let me shoot the big gun that cracks the planet in half! It’s just pressing a button but it adds so much.

2016 had a special sense of place and immediacy to it that they seem to have lost track of. I don’t want to see or hear about cool things, I want to be and do the cool things

I’m just getting to the end now, seeing Saejima wearing a pirate hat is cracking me up

I’ve been burning through Pirate Yakuza. Might play a bunch of the newer Mechwarrior stuff once I finish it

I could use the Mai practice but I can understand the appeal in characters who do more than one move

You know any oil barons? Maybe we should start digging

Kinda thinking about Honda too, he’s not amazing or anything but I’m sick of people mashing after 2 hits and not having shit to do about it

The combat in that one has a lot of fun stuff to do, I enjoyed it a lot. That one was also the first one where I thought the dungeon grind type minigame started to come together.

Wish I was there to pick Elena and make Luke mad

Replay takeover is pretty cool. Probably wouldn't have had the presence of mind to walk for the extra drive anyway though, once I've got the guaranteed damage I tend to keep it simple.
