It’s a pretty popular game in Japan and on Switch. Was pretty hyped for this watching the Direct but I haven’t got around to playing yet

I disagree. I think games are definitely worth preserving, even if they aren’t that fun. Regardless, this game has historical significance and should at the very least be playable after it’s delisted.

When life gets you down, Wearing a frown, Don’t look away, look up!

Kind of mixed on this one for me. On one hand it’s a win against microtransactions, since a big name like Marvel isn’t enough for people to buy it, so much that it has to be delisted. I think that’s a huge win and I think it’s worth mentioning.

On the other, preservation is a thing and I’m wondering if this game could somehow still be played if it’s taken off the store. Granted I’m not familiar with this game so I don’t know if physical copies work, or if they’re just codes with a plastic shell. Or even if this game would be playable once the servers go down. I know it’s not the best game to keep around, but history deserves preservation, etc

see if you can find jay sherman in the title

I think they said they took it as a challenge to make it work, and on its own it’s pretty good, but yeah the message would obviously get lost on kids who have no idea what sex is.

That, and it always bugged me that King George/David was told he shouldn’t steal the ducky because he had “many duckies”. Bearing in mind the original was a woman he lusted after.

Oh and fun fact, that was where the “what you did has made God very unhappy” meme comes from

My Dad still plays the original Delta Force to this day. I’d be surprised if anyone else has heard of this series before this trailer.

Jesse Cox has 5 Minute Gaming News that lists news into little bite-sized chunks that I can handle every weekday. Used to love Jesse on the Cooptional and Cox n Crendor podcasts so I like listening to him.

Also every Friday Crendor is featured on the Cren Minute where he talks about whatever he wants and its the most redundant and hilarious thing to me.

And shoutouts to Lyle Wrath’s hilarious Pregame Discharge show where he lays out the news in an extreme and absurd way. Used to be weekly but now kind of forced to be monthly after Destructoid dropped it.

You could always try Bravely Default. Takes big inspiration from FFV and the job system. It’s pretty hard, too. Bravely Default 2 is on Steam and it’s pretty fun, but if you can somehow get your hands on the 3DS Bravely Default and Bravely Second, they have a ton of content and are loads more fun.
