Strong movement forming against in-game "loot boxes" right now... I guess some more big AAA games are abusing them, nickel-and-diming players after they've already paid the full $60 for the game.

Lot of the arguments I see take it too far, wanting the government to be involved, calling it "gambling".

I think there's a good middle-ground when it comes to loot boxes... They shouldn't make a game "pay-to-win". Should be purely cosmetic.

I like Overwatch's approach. Not that far into it, but purely cosmetic from what I can tell. My son really loves opening them and choosing which Victory Pose or whatever.

I could care less. I'd rather have a faster ROF or faster ultimate generation... But, I also hate the games that make those things pay-DLC.

Hot on the heels of the SNES Classic Edition.... Nintendo has apparently registered a new trademark for Gameboy in Japan.

Interesting. It's been thought that an N64 Classic Edition shouldn't happen... it should just be a major addition of N64 games on the Virtual Console sort of app store on Nintendo consoles...

I honestly didn't expect a Gameboy emulator though. What titles do you expect to see on it? Tetris, Mario Land, Doctor Mario, Donkey Kong Country...

For myself, I don't want EVERY weapon. In any game, there are some kinds of weapons that I am better with and like more. Heck in Battlefront I, there are only about 3 blasters that I use, depending on my mood and the mission.

I'm ok with having to invest time to get the ones I want, so I'll withhold judgment until the final release.

i denied the drifters request to save their universe from annihilation by clip production. They wanted me to go to a new universe, but id lost so many drones in the great drifter war that i chose vengeance, after i killed to remaining drifters i had to disassemble all my supplies to scavenge for matter to make more clips. In the end i ate myself.

Wow. You got a lot farther in the game than I did. I only got to the part where the drifters were introduced. Thanks for the spoiler.

Dangit, I think I just got rid of my Crimson Skies disc over the summer. Never did finish playing through that game.
