I fail to see how Splatoon 2 can be any good when it is in fact NOT Stardew Valley??

You unlock a full playable version of Stardew Valley if you reach S+ Rank in Splatoon. Better get kraken (cracking).

I think it's just user created courses.

Infinite mini golf has a very 3D Ultra Minigolf vibe to it, which I like. Hit a ball into an anaconda's mouth and get a hole in one is what minigolf should be about.

A majora's mask style weirdo spinoff off of botw would be so good

This is what I want. Another big, open world to explore, but not Hyrule, and full of weird stuff.

Honestly I don't know if I'd change that much about dungeons from BotW. I thought I'd miss them but I didn't. No other open world game adventure game has ever grabbed me the way BotW did. I could never get into the Assassin's Creed or Witcher games, but just the act of exploring in Zelda felt fun in a way those games didn't.

My favorite game review of all time is the kotaku review of Destiny 2. It's staggeringly terrible.

Why? I don’t want to read it myself.

It is not actually a review, but a series of short stories about fictional people and how they might enjoy Destiny 2. Underneath the whole thing you can feel the silent scream of "I am an English Major and games journalism is beneath me."

That makes so much more sense. You had said LBW when you were talking Skyward Sword. Considering I adore exploration the rail-roading would grate on me horrendously but as long as the dungeons are good it could make up for it I suppose.

He said LBW was the antithesis to that, not that LBW was that.

Enter the Gungeon is so good. Seems a lot harder than Binding of Isaac too.

Some Isaac runs can get so easy, but for me that’s part of the appeal. The runs where you can buy every item and now you have massive orbiting explosive tears that also heal you are what makes Isaac real special.

Gungeon from a gameplay perspective is much better and much more fun, but it doesn’t quite hit those crazy heights.

Anyone see word on super chicken horse monkey dolphin or whatever? Looked fun.

Ultimate Chicken Horse. Early 2018 is all they’ve said. Maybe if they have a Nindies segment in the next direct we’ll get something more firm. It is a very fun game, great for couch co-op. It’s fun having a group work out their own rule set for getting items and building stages.

That has the release date for A Way Out as 2019, while it comes out in March. So even if it's real, it might be very old.

So tropical freeze is legitimately good? I could never tell if people were sarcastically praising it.

It’s legitimately the best 2D platformer on any modern console, and in the running for one of the best of all time.

Another Nindies thing would be good. Ultimate Chicken Horse is suppose to hit sometime soon, and the Night in the Woods devs kind of teased they might be doing a Switch release. Also we still need Hollow Knight info.

It’s a 25 minute video of an insufferable man in a loving fedora. Cliff notes it for me if you really care.

[Edit: regardless of the video, I stand by my comment that, considering the extraordinary costs that go into making a AAA game in 2018, the $60 pricetag if you MUST buy a game as soon as it comes out is completely reasonable]

No one wants to be your go between so you can have an imaginary argument with Jim Sterling dude.

There is but I'm afraid you're just going to have to deal with people talking about the incredibly popular game for the toy you own.
