I don't think anybody is worried about Xbox X at Sony. It will probably sell even less in Japan. I imagine they'll have a God of War demo thing and something about Shenmue and call it a day.
Single player games still matter, but unless you are Monolith or Ubisoft they are difficult to monetize. This has been a great year for single player games and Mario is two weeks away. Single player will never die.
Where's all the love and joy that was expressed when it came out? I feel that this has happened before and will continue to. The ten year plan really means it will take ten years to get one franchise perfect.
I'm gonna skip Assasssin's Creed because I want to indulge myself in Super Mario Odyssey. I wish I finished the first Evil Within. I got enough games most this stuff can wait, though Gran Turismo looks tempting.
They know their audience. I agree whomever said never change Japan
I've pondered this further after playing Yakuza 5 and I realized that these games are a slice of life, but also they want to give the player as much variety as possible. One minute your kicking peoples asses as a Yakuza, the next you're having a dance competition as a struggling pop idol. Yet this still is seemingly the same game. Maybe the series is a flagship for trying new diversions in that sphere and this is just an extension of it. Of Kaz isn't creepy he's one of the last virtuous gangsters. This probably adds a dimension to his personality that was missing in the original release. I hope this all going to build up to the west getting a non-neutered version of Yakuza 3. That's my two cents.
Animal Crossing New Leaf, Metroid Saumus Returns and a bit of TLOU(after the last patch). That and writing papers for college because I'm in college...

Re: Review: Assassin's Creed Origins (PS4)
@ShogunRok Yeah its a tough reference to make. Welcome Bayek is cool though...nice tagline.
Re: Review: Assassin's Creed Origins (PS4)
Would "No Denial: AC Origins is a great game" also have been an acceptable pun? @ShogunRok
Re: Maybe Don't Buy Star Wars Battlefront 2 at Launch
I haven't bought an EA game for years, it seems to be working out alright for me.
Re: No Loot Boxes in Monster Hunter: World, Dev Says It Wants the Game to Be Rewarding
That's the way to do it.
Re: Unsurprisingly, There'll Be an MLB The Show 18
"He balked at answering" is probably an acceptable pun as well.
Re: Poll: Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament Round 1 - Matches 5-8
Poor LuBu
Re: Review: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (PS4)
Nice headline! I have to play the first one. My backlog just continues to grow. Lately I've been giving Nintendo all my money.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 192
Super Mario Odyssey because it is the game to play. Maybe a little Yakuza on PS4 for balance and Japanese verb conjugation for school.
Re: Microsoft Says Single Player Games Are Becoming Complicated
Another thing that is complicated is releasing a souped up version of an existing console while still keeping the current one's sales numbers secret
Re: Poll: How High Are Your Expectations For Sony's Paris Games Week Press Conference?

A new Tony Hawk game...haha
Re: Review: Gran Turismo Sport (PS4)
I forgot 6 had moon missions. I need to get that.
Re: Review: Gran Turismo Sport (PS4)
@get2sammyb Would hit the skids also have been an acceptable pun?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 191
Fire Emblem Hack and Slash switch game, pokemon gold and Yakuza Kiwami
Re: God of War Director Speaks Out in Defence of Single Player Games
Single player games still matter, but unless you are Monolith or Ubisoft they are difficult to monetize. This has been a great year for single player games and Mario is two weeks away. Single player will never die.
Re: Sony to Publish Games on Nintendo Switch Under New Label
I'm confused.

pokemon gold, yakuza zero (and kiwami) and homework
Re: Hands On: The Evil Within 2 Is a Familiar Yet Different Beast
This game's gonna be on sale soon.
Re: Bungie Is Looking Into Improving Destiny 2's Endgame
Where's all the love and joy that was expressed when it came out? I feel that this has happened before and will continue to. The ten year plan really means it will take ten years to get one franchise perfect.
Re: Assassin's Creed Origins Looks Like a Very Attainable Platinum
I'm sure Super Mario Odyssey's sand level will be on par with this entire game.
Re: Poll: Where Do You Stand on Microtransactions?
A scourge of mankind. The decline of western civilization. Microtransactions are evil.
Re: Store Update: 10th October 2017 (Europe)
@MadAussieBloke IV was a classic. Corey Feldman as Tommy! Crispin Glover dancing. It had everything.
Re: Assassin's Creed Origins Will Let You Spend Your Egyptian Pounds on Loot Boxes
You should play Mario instead
Re: Jurassic World Evolution Sure Looks Roarsome in First In-Game Footage
Will a Loot Crate unlock Jeff Goldblum?
Re: Assassin's Creed Origins Will Let You Spend Your Egyptian Pounds on Loot Boxes
This will be the year Loot Crate gets a proper entry in the Oxford English Dictionary.
Re: Store Update: 10th October 2017 (Europe)
Zeppelin does Mordor better than Monolith
Re: Hands On: Star Wars Battlefront 2 Is a Clumsy, Complicated Sequel
I had a feeling when I tried to fly an X-wing I could only describe it as failure.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 189
Pokemon Gold, ryu no gotoku ishin, and a bit of The Division. Possible Yakuza Kiwami in there too.
Re: Guide: October 2017 PS4 Game Release Dates
I'm gonna skip Assasssin's Creed because I want to indulge myself in Super Mario Odyssey. I wish I finished the first Evil Within. I got enough games most this stuff can wait, though Gran Turismo looks tempting.
Re: Poll: Are You Still Playing Destiny 2 One Month Later?
I like that the non-players are winning this poll.
Re: Review: Middle-earth: Shadow of War (PS4)
Would this be a good game to buy cheap eventually?
Re: Revised PlayStation VR Model Adds HDR Passthrough
I wish i knew what HDR pass through meant. I'm sure this will make it to the West and maybe someday I'll buy one.
Re: Why Is Sony Turning Off Gravity Rush 2's Servers After a Year?
I still need to play it. I wanted to finish remastered one first and a million other games. How much server space is that game using?
Re: Yakuza: Kiwami 2 Looks Bloody Brilliant in Lengthy New Trailers
I will buy every Yakuza game Sega releases.
Re: Destiny 2 Is Down for 6 Whole Hours Today
I guess that means we'll only get 10 or so articles about it today as opposed to the standard 20.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Returns Next Thursday
The ending of the first one was like a bad Butch Cassidy or Shanghai Noon. If I gotta play as that dumb kid of his I'm not having it.
Re: Review: Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash (PS4)
Would I hate myself for playing this? That's the question I need to decide.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 187
Animal Crossing New Leaf, Ryƫ ga Gotoku Ishin!, Yakuza 5 and soon Pokemon Gold
Re: TGS 2017: Yakuza: Kiwami 2 Nabs Another Questionable Side Activity

Re: Review: Final Fantasy IX (PSone)
I wish I had time to play this again.
Re: TGS 2017: Is This PlayStation's Best Ever Commercial?
Japan's advertisements are certainly more interesting than those in the west.
Re: The Masterpiece That Is Final Fantasy IX Is Coming to PS4
Squeenix is full of surprises. I'm still trying to make sense of the Assassins festival in FFXV.
Re: Two Norse Dwarfs Will Upgrade Your Arsenal in God of War
I wonder how linear it will be, and if the kid will be an invincible ally. I'm imagining this game is going to be something special either way.
Re: Poll: Are You Looking Forward to Tokyo Game Show 2017?
@Octane Yeah they typically do their own separate event Spaceworld or something. I don't know if they still do it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 186
Animal Crossing New Leaf, Metroid Saumus Returns and a bit of TLOU(after the last patch). That and writing papers for college because I'm in college...
Re: Poll: Are You Looking Forward to Tokyo Game Show 2017?
Is TGS all about Nintendo and Sony? I expect that Microsoft doesn't need to bother.
Re: Feature: The PlayStation Store's Content Problem
Trying to the download for a pre-ordered game is a bit of a nightmare too.
