Hard agree. I think it will give more of a chance to really juice the game and build more anticipation for the next one.

It kind of reminds me on how at one point we started getting assassins creed game one after the other and some people got burnout.

Exactly. Their counterargument though is "There's 3 different development teams making different sub series though." Yeah, but they all use the same engine now so they all more or less feel the same.

I really think 1 game every 2 years would do wonders for the series, I mean they already milk the hell out of the whales with microtransactions constantly, so it's not like they wouldn't be making bank for an entire year. Plus now with game pass, they've already lost a chunk of folks who would've pre-ordered each year so I don't see the point in the yearly release anymore, TBH.

Solid choices for favorite series btw.

What makes that worth doing for you? Is the merch/pre-order bonus enticing? It's not usually difficult to get a day 1 copy of a game like that, is it?

No it's not, but I don't drive, so I often pre-order mostly to make sure it arrives on my doorstep for release day. If there's a deluxe edition or any extras, that's just a bonus. For example, with Resident Evil 9, I'll probably order the deluxe edition and have it for release day.

My next pre-orders will be in a few weeks for Yakuza 0 director's cut & Yakuza Kiwami 1&2 on PS5.

What do you think of Call of Duty's yearly release cycle? Personally, I'd like it to be 1 game every 2 years. I feel that would make more sense and be easier on the players, especially if they're going to be pushing shop bundles for skins and such.

Battlefield 6 recently, with some Final Fantasy Tactics: The ivalice chronicles thrown in. Come Oct 30th i'll be adding Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection to that mix.

I'm thinking I should get up and get something for breakfast before it turns into lunchtime.....

I only tend to pre-order if it's a favorite series of mine. So something like Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Yakuza/Like a Dragon.

I don't listen to music much nowadays but when I do, I like punk rock/alternative rock.

I'm concerned about the upcoming zelda movie. Honestly, every game-based movie has been a dud since the 90's. I'm also very concerned about the rumoured metal gear solid movie.

I would like to see more gamecube classics added to the NSO+ service but i know we'll be waiting awhile for that.

Yeah I have no doubt we'll see a Mario Galaxy 3 at some point if not within the next couple of years.

I do those all the time, so real, get your nap for sure.

Though today I actually slept for something like 12 or 13 hours. I've had a cold the past few days and Im eager to.get over it.

Those are the worst!

Thinking I got up way too early today and should probably take a nap for like an hour......

What games are you looking forward to on the Switch 2? For me? Whichever Smash Bros they put out, Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection, and Metroid Prime 4 are the 3 games i'm looking forward to most right now.

What about you? What games are you looking forward to most on the Switch 2?

Well this time around there is a campaign and they've stated all DLC will be free for everyone right off the bat. There is no season pass. I'm really enjoying it to be honest. They fixed everything that was wrong with the first game and improved upon everything else.

I'm happy my 8Bit GBA is still going strong. Definitely worth the purchase. I'm tempted to sign up for Retro Game Treasure which is a monthly subscription that send you random retro games and I can get aslew of GBA games from them Im really considering it to build up my collection.

Oh cool. I didn't know you could do this. I might have to download the demo and give it a try.

Oh that sucks! Happy I got mine at least.

Anyone play it? What are your thoughts on Respawn's 2nd FPS and sequel to their critically acclaimed Titanfall from 2014?

I'm loving Titanfall 2 if I'm honest. It's a highly addictive game and the changes they made to it are awesome! I'm also enjoying the newly included campaign's story. :D

I never owned an original Gameboy Advance. I still have the SP that I've owned all these years. ;w;

I don't like the form factor of the SP model

If anyone is interested in the type of GBA i have, you can snag one for around $130-140 from http://www.8bitevolution.com I had a slight issue with the one I bought but sent it back to James (owner of 8bit) and he fixed it promptly and sent it back to me within a day. Quite amazing service! I like their work so much i've actually thought about buying another with a different shell on it. :D

I just found out there's a double-pack being sold. That's perfect for me and my brother so we'll definitely be snagging that up when it launches in a few weeks.
