Has anyone bought Rocket League? How does it play? I have the PC version and I really love it, but I might double dip if the version runs stable enough.

I don’t think Nintendo will release Zelda Story DLC this year. Doing so will take the attention away from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and make the sales of that game suffer. I believe they’ll release it in January 2018.

I feel like we saw something like in the last week saying December still.

I like what they are doing though by basically not promoting it at all right now. I mean it's a freaking DLC. If the DLC comes out say Dec 15th or 22nd, then advertise it a few days before. Pop out some new Direct and showcase it. The DLC I doubt will move new Zelda units. The game is still selling well and will to new users come holiday anyway. But don't take away from other games advertising for DLC ad. This dlc is not like a new expansion for WoW or Destiny or something. It's not something you need to advertise huge.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get a holiday direct near Christmas and the direct has the DLC showcased finally and also goes "this will be available immediately after the direct" That seems like good advertising to me. You are guaranteed all those that already purchased the dlc to download, you may convince some new ones to download during the direct and by having it be "immediately after" those new ones may purchase and download impusively before they really think if they want it or not. You know, before any reviews of the DLC come out and tlel them it isn't that great or worth money or short or any other negative that may make them hesitate.

If you play arms and like money this is a good chance for you. We're trying to grow the ARMS community and this is a major online tournament so everyone can enter

Lol what, ARMs has a competitive scene still?? Not only that but one with a $500 prize pool?? How the f did ARMs get that kind of money?? Thats what G7 pay out for Splatoon 2 which is leagues bigger than ARMs

I don't have it yet, but from what I've seen it plays the same, though online stability isn't as consistent as the Switch is inherently more lag prone, but maybe that was more from the servers being overloaded. Eitherway if you're fine with Splat2 n MK8D then this will be aswell. It looks worse of course, but they devs did say they would continue to work on optimizing it, hopefully to where it actually takes advantage of docked mode.

Yes it has a competitive scene. We're trying to grow it and evo Japan is gonna be hype.

Yeah, I think it has definite potential.  Find it hilarious how some people with different taste have to go around calling the game garbage.  It has flaws, but I really like it.  And with button mapping added, the biggest issue is largely resolved imo.

It's garbage.

...nah, I really think that way. It's just such a boring game. The pace of everything is so absurdly low and every option is such an extreme commitment it makes it so in the end the game is not much more than a glorified rock-paper-scissors, or at least that's how it felt to me. Then again, I was never a fan of it from the moment it was announced, so whatever. Smash is coming anyway.

Congratulations on having an opinion :P

However, the pace is certainly not slow in my experience when I got to where I was fighting players who knew what they were doing.  Or at end game.  Imo, it requires you to put more careful thought in your actions though because a few mistakes can cost you a match.  But it's better than many fighting games in this regard because the punishment comes *per* mistake, not one mistake=juggled for an eternity until you are KO'd or whatever.  You have greater chance of recovery. 

But it's not for everyone.  Neither is Street Fighter.  Neither is Smash.



Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are both sitting at a 87 on Metacritic. Making them the 4th most critically acclaimed Nintendo games this year, only behind Breath of the Wild (97), Mario Odyssey (97), and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (92).

I think I have faith enough in this particular developer, so I'd trust its willingness to improve the port. I don't care about the game looking worse than the PC version (I wouldn't say it's a game that needs fantastic graphics tbh), so I can get over that.

My issue with it isn't how punishing each mistake is, it's how easy it is to make mistakes. There's basically no truly safe options in the neutral game, so it's very easy to get punished for any move you don't hit, and the game becomes extremely reactive. In neither Street Fighter V or Smash 4 do you get juggled for an etertity until you get KO'd, both of those games are very heavily focused on the neutral and you usually need to win it several times to beat your opponent - it's just, because there's safer ways to go about it than in ARMS, you can allowed to be more aggressive and get away with it.

Smash isn't for everyone, but it certainly is for more people than ARMS.

Not saying you get juggled forever in Smash.  But you can get juggled, I've seen it many times.  In Arms, you quite literally cannot.  The game allows one additional hit after being launched into the air. After that, you cannot be hit or grabbed again, which I greatly appreciate.  

And I do feel your assessment is inaccurate.  If you commit with *both arms* and miss then you are screwed but if you are more careful, you can easily protect yourself.  The key I have seen is in movement.  You can slip and dodge a lot more than you at first realize with your dashes.  I've fought people who are plenty aggressive in Arms but are very, very hard to counter attack.  Also fought people who are like freaking Floyd Mayweather and you just can't freaking hit them and they play a counter punching game.  I've seen a variety of styles and I'm not even an avid player.  But it's a game that is very different from other fighters so it's not a game all fighter fans will gravitate towards and also has to be thought about and approached in its own way.
