I had like 4 copies of the first cd of the "for the fans" thing because people were like "oh Kite's a backstreet boys fan, I bet he'd like this" after they found it years later and weren't using it. Except for the one time where it was a prize at dave & busters.

Please tell me I've just been living under a rock and wasn't aware of a new BSB album dropping and that everyone already knew about this

when I was a painfully uncool kid I thought the song "backstreet's back" meant that the band had existed in the past and had reformed and this was their return song

The real canvas ones are a different design. They never put the promised ones into production

I noticed retailers like Gamestop still list the 200 dollar editions as having a canvas bag.

But the Bethesda Gear Store sure as hell made sure to update that whoopsie.

And none of the group pictures of the items or descriptions of them from the past few months have like "Prototype design, final design of items may change" anywhere from what I can find.

speaking of, from what i expected to be a huge fad of copycats on par with left 4 dead with zombie games or minecraft with building/survival games, the battle royale wave seems to have flared out way more quickly than i would've predicted. not counting the big two, and the glut of steam shovelware, what games actually ended up taking a whack at it? cliffyb and call of duty?

there's also realm royale from hi rez. battlefield is supposed to get battle royale next year I guess, wasn't in at launch lmao. of course there's H1Z1 that came out even before pubg. path of exile added a battle royale mode as an april fools joke this year and it was actually better than any of these

and the game everyone's looking forward to, housemarque's upcoming stormdivers

i guess it's kind of a tautology to say i haven't heard of any of those, but the real question is do any of them even look any good?

I hate battle royale games, but realm royale from what I played is at least kind of interesting I guess. high fantasy setting which brings engagement ranges way down compared to most BRs, different character classes with unique abilities, and a focus on squad play where you have one person of each class so encounters almost play out like MMO PvP

hunt: showdown is barely even a battle royale though. there's like 10 or 20 people in the world total, everyone's trying to hunt down a computer controller monster, but then other people can come in and jack your trophy as you're trying to get out

big surprise the most interesting battle royales are the ones that play the least like pubg

imo the further they get from the milsim roots, the more likely they're interesting.

take mario kart as your main design inspirations instead of pubg and you might have something.

radical heights was a really good prototype, for a game that shouldn't have hit even early access for another like 6 months
