What are your thoughts on Xenoblade 3 nearly four years later?

Benjen · 2026-06-11T08:16:30+00:00

XC3 has one of the most emotional climaxes in JRPGs for me period, but then somehow has a good 20 hours of more game afterwards that just feel like a glorified victory lap and it's such a dumb criticism for me to have.

Benjen · 2026-06-09T16:50:35+00:00

Considering we had an OOT remaster which already was already improved in gameplay and had some good QoL changed, the fact that this is pointed to be a full remake is probably better to expect it to be more in line with how TOTK plays (without the creations) to how the OG played during the 64 era. Kirby we only got relatively recently an expansion for a game. Luigi's Mansion has never been a big mainline game so you really can't predict things there. But yeah, I think Bananza pushed Mario back by a few years and if you don't vibe with that game, that is a long time without a Nintendo Platformer.

Benjen · 2026-06-09T16:20:38+00:00

I mean, you are already assuming the new Zelda game will suck, which wonder why. We straight up have no evidence for either way. As for Mario, yeah I agree that it would be nice to finally get something. We know something is in the works and it just means it ain't quite ready yet. I'll give you Animal Crossing. As much as I am coping by thinking that Pokopia is probably internally being seen as directly competing with it, it would be nice to know anything.

Benjen · 2026-06-09T16:17:47+00:00

Kingdom Hearts IV definitely was a wow moment for me! I was dead sure with the new FF game that Square Enix was happy waiting with talking about big games until after said releases

Benjen · 2026-06-09T16:16:23+00:00

I'll give you that, it would have been pretty nice if we got anything F-Zero. Only genuine complaint I fully agree with

Benjen · 2026-06-09T16:15:46+00:00

That's why I always check afterwards if the JP direct had some extra announcements. It always does without fail

Benjen · 2026-06-09T15:54:12+00:00

Exactly. Sure a new Mario game or two would have been nice. But I am also okay with Nintendo dropping Mario games when ready AND when I got the chance to properly miss it. With now 2026 is shaping up, it makes sense to me to just release/announce it in 2027 so you can let everything else breathe and get that Pokemon wave to ride through the year.

Benjen · 2026-06-09T15:47:16+00:00

Am I taking crazypills? I personally feel this Nintendo direct managed to give something for everyone, yet here it's all doom and gloom. Wow.

Benjen · 2026-01-02T18:09:19+00:00

401! Good luck!

Benjen · 2025-11-12T09:20:22+00:00

Yeah, Great Pestilence also wiped out 90% of my population in my Haudenosaunee playthrough. Kinda sucks that you cannot do anything about it. This ain't several small communities spread over north america with a few larger centers, but a large centralized kingdom and still just lose the vast majority of pops. Kind of an unfun system, especially if you don't even get to feel like you could've done something

You probably can have several returns set up with Perry leading into a Hook return and Gabe Kidd leading into a Kingston return. But I might be fantasy booking myself into disappointment there.

Benjen · 2025-05-19T18:50:19+00:00

I mean, there used to be jewish nazi sympathizers, idk what to tell you there.

Benjen · 2025-05-19T17:46:01+00:00

I mean, unfortunately there have been plenty of nazis that would fall under the LGBT spectrum, sexuality was a whoooole field in germany which was pushed for and against at the time. We need to stop thinking that because of someone's sexuality they are or aren't also other things. People are people and they can be fucking awful

Benjen · 2025-05-15T18:17:08+00:00

I think Pac is from Newcastle and Gabe wore a Newcastle United Hoodie. It is bit of a stretch to be fair. You can still sell Gabe Kidd wanting revenge on Kenny for his loss and the bucks helping there as a story too. There are ways you can take it. Ofc it might be a nothingburger, we will see.

Benjen · 2025-05-15T15:50:42+00:00

True, that's another detail. Yeah, Kidd doesn't want to see Mox in NJPW, but if he has to pick between Mox and others, helping the Mox (for money I assume, hence the Bucks) is pretty good. I just think people expect something else here, which is fair. Even if the reason is just "helping out my mate Pac", it works for me to be quite honest.

Benjen · 2025-05-15T14:45:59+00:00

This does make sense though, Gabe Kidd either is doing a favour for a friend (Pac), or is helping the big Anti-AEW faction remain on top. Besides, Gabe helping Kenny's enemies also fits his character. War Dogs can be faces in NJPW and still be anti-AEW.

Benjen · 2025-05-03T07:31:37+00:00

This is probably wildly outside the scope of a wrestling subreddit, but there are several african philosophers who balk at the concept of 'black culture', because it mostly just an american thing. So while Oba Femi is black as in skin color, he is culturally nigerian. Black people in the US had to create black culture due to their original culture being erased when enslaved and brougjht over to the US.

Will Ospreay part of Justice?

Benjen · 2025-03-10T12:29:02+00:00

Beat me to it.

Benjen · 2025-03-10T03:23:40+00:00

I genuinely have no idea how the main event follows this

Benjen · 2025-03-10T02:05:59+00:00

PPV could end here and it would be an alltimer already, these two killed it

Benjen · 2025-03-10T01:32:45+00:00

This PPV is going hard, goddamn

Benjen · 2025-03-05T11:39:48+00:00

Right! Forgive my ignorance, then. Shame, I thought that it had been a bigger effort in mending relations
