Thanks. 

Wait, where did you come from?! lol

I have nostalgia for the SNES game, but it does look pretty ancient now that I play it on my SNES Classic. Star Fox 64 blew kid me away with its graphics and there's still a particular ad for the rumble pack I distinctly remember but can't find of a kid's house falling apart as he plays Star Fox. Maybe I only imagined that and am remembering my imagination. 

I certainly didn't hate Star Fox Adventures, in fact I thought that game was pretty good. No, it wasn't a traditional Star Fox game, but that doesn't make it bad. I might buy a copy next time I'm in Game X Change. 

In fact, when I played Star Fox Assault, is was much closer to an actual Star Fox game, but didn't captivate me the way Adventures had. Granted, that was largely due to the difficulty and those on-foot levels you mentioned, even if I didn't think they were THAT bad. My older brother bought me a used copy for my birthday once, so maybe I should break that out. 

I have no interest in RTS, so while I hope to play more of Star Fox 2, Command just doesn't interest me. I didn't have a Wii U to play Zero, so no real opinion there either, I've just heard the gimmicky controls are annoying, which is a turn-off. 

I'm bummed I can't play as Fox as a PS4 owner, but I'll still give it a shot if it gets good reviews from fans and critics. 

Ultimately, Star Fox 64 is one of my favorite games and will remain that way because of nostalgia from Christmas 1997, but maybe on-rails shooters just won't sell like they used to. Maybe open-world is the answer to that, even if I'm hoping space isn't an excuse to make an empty world. 

Great write-up, man. I miss Star Fox. And F-Zero ...

This one is an all-yakuza special; I just recorded a regular episode last night with Julian and Patrick that should be out next week I think. 

What's your current game?

Aaaaand I've played none of this. 

Oh ok, I remember that now. Most of what I remember is close to the beginning or toward the very end. 

Ok, so this was the game you were talking about on Twitter where the enemy AI had separate rules from the player. 

Side note: I didn't realize there was a game based on The War of the Worlds book. I'll have to read that at some point, since I didn't like the Tom Cruise movie and the game apparently sucks, but a classic book is a classic book and I want to see what's different. 

Also, you sure razzed Raz. I'll show myself out. 

Wisconsin, eh? Most of my family is from there. In fact, your picture vaguely reminds me of my cousin's husband. 

I have yet to boot Bloodborne back up. 

That sounded exactly like PS+, right up until $2/mo or $24/year, where PS+ is $50/year. 

I think some of these people are kids ... 

I did pay into it. Wasn't thinking about it that way. But I also don't want to pay taxes on this come April 2019 ...

Understandable, although I can tell you it's a pretty standard Spidey game.
