What would you call a 2D side-scrolling platforming action adventure game with an interconnected world that's better than Metroidvania?

Well we call both Final Fantasy XIII and Skyrim RPGs?

So platformer makes the most sense.

But we call them JRPG and WRPG, respectively

The new games announced were;

- Fortnite
- Dragon Ball FighterZ
- Xenoblade 2: Torna - The Golden Country (Expansion)
- Killer Queen Black
- Super Mario Party
- Overcooked 2

So 6 games and one expansion all up.

If you mean first party only I'm not sure if Daemon X Machina is a first party game.


Lol when you list it like that it looks even worse. Such a sparse list that you have to include ports and indie party games to pad it out

Been waiting for the Switch version to finally come out. Heard nothing but great things and it lives up to expectations

Love how non-hand-holdy the game is, basically youre just dropped into a world and are free to explore. So far most of the new abilities have been combat relatedthough theyre used to get past obstacles in interesting ways

Seems huge too, Ive heard upwards of 40 hours for 100%

I actually think the line up is pretty disappointing vs last year (this is only my second time). Comedy tent line up is kind of garbage too, but last year they had a lot of cancellations that made the stated line up appear better than what we actually got so eh

what am I missing?

I guess it depends what youre going for

For me this is easily the best lineup since 2015 (although with somewhat boring headliners). Most of this is due to how much, particularly last year, they focused on acts that appeal to younger audiences, and lost a lot of what made Roo unique among music festivals.

Were all in our late 20s/early 30s, so there is a lot more weve grown up with. Like, last year other than U2 and RHCP the number of acts around longer than ten years was in the single digits. And theres stuff like Chic, Amadou & Miriam, and Noura Mint Semali that arent super common bookings

Honestly though, I really don't understand why people expecting anything new from Microsoft.

Their single player exclusives (outside of like Halo and Gears) bombed hard this gen, so why the fuck would they keep trying to do the thing that doesn't work for them?

Thats because they arent making quality games

It cant be that hard to make an 8/10 game, can it? All the other big publishers are churning them out

Meanwhile Microsoft is rushing out garbage

Thus far, our research has supported exactly what everyone expected: Wolves dominate mountain lions in most encounters.

My favorite bars are the Tam, Sullivans Tap, and Boston Sports Grille. Tam and Sullys are divey cash only places, BSG has my favorite bartender.

Ive heard good things about the Harpoon and Sam Adams brewery tours but Ive never been to either.


Those are exactly the type of places Im looking for but look kinda far from where were staying. Know anything similar closer to Boston proper/downtown?

Also, Dicks Last Resort is always worth checking out. It's a gimmicky restaurant where the waiters treat you like garbage. It actually turns out pretty funny, especially in a group.

Google says the liquor store is closed. Also it sounds like a douchey college bar

Been to the Dicks in Vegas several times, its always a great time

Didn't realize it was closed, lol. Well Yard House is good for craft beer. They have like 70+ on tap.
