Games are way overpriced. Here in Canada they started going up a bit at the end of the 360 era. Than went up again with new consoles and now we at at the point where games are 90+Tax. Unreal.

Only games I even consider a bit worth it are Fighting games I know i'll play for hundreds of hours. Still overpriced.

I get why the show was put on hiatus but I do miss its absence. The past like 8 years of gaming for me has been diving deep into the FGC/Smash rabbithole.

it has been done. I picked smash ultimate. hope it was helpful.

Neat concept, and you have a decent snake impression. I would not know that was the same person if not for this post. You got the gravel, and over dramatic inflections down.

That said, I feel this was too long for how one note the joke is. I get that is how it works in metal gear, but as a skit I found it dragged a lot.

Keep it up though. Solid first effort (pun not intended)

@jonny_anonymous: fair enough. the tone of your message made it sound like its not an issue though unless you as the player, make it one, which I don't see as fair.

yes please. That was a great feature.

Plus, Lets be real with what @teddie said. I bet near everyone in the combined GiantBomb/Gamespot office is bad enough at the game to qualify the scrub league. It may be more like low level play as opposed to being brand new at the game, or fighting games in general, but the concept would still work.

@nutter: i did play that game and its far from fine. Its quite bad. Its a bastardization of 2D and 3D mechanics that had the worst controls on a big budget fighting game i've ever played. It expected you to use the stick and dpad for different movement from what i recall. Plus the animation was laughable. Its only notable for being the first fighting game to have a cinematic story mode.

that is apologist BS and you know it. Even if you only care about story and online, the game forces you to engage with the crypt to unlock costumes and such, which you see when fighting. Its unreasonable to expect no one to care about the unlocks just because the are gameplay first.

I don't remember those PS2 era games. Mainly because they were terrible. I highly doubt those currencies were as they are in MK11 though. There is no need for all the different ones. They are all used on the krypt and will give you similar rewards from the looks of it. Its needlessly obtuse. Plus you could not buy "time crystals" and buy skins in that era. Times have changes, much for the worse.

@marino: I just watched the "kombat kast" where they clarified that. They also said certain major chests are in set locations which is awesome. I'm very pleased the lootboxes are not what they first seem. However I still find it off putting how the game has like 4 different currencys to be used to unlock different shit. Its needlessly obtuse mobile game design that only exists to frustrate players into spending money. However here you can't even buy them aside from "time crystals" to spend on random BS. so its mostly just busy work for no reason than to waste everyones time and make getting what you want tedious. At least they are trying to fix this mess.
