Holy shit I missed Hall of Greats today!? I never even knew it was this week!

Apologies for necroposting, but I think this is big news and I don't know where else to put it:

EZA is getting rid sponsorship tiers and is joining Roost, the sales network run by Roosterteeth. This doesn't mean they are joining Roosterteeth, just that they are getting sponsorships from a new source.

I bet against Fallen Order, which at the time seemed like a good move but now seems pretty dumb. Not really complaining though. We got a good Star Wars game out of it.

@hazz3r Yeah that was frustrating for sure. While I don't necessarily agree that it is the product of laziness, I am with you that the animation (or lack thereof) for Double Kick is terrible. Again, I think it's totally fine to have these complaints, it just bothers me when people base their whole argument as to why the game sucks around them.

This doesn't bode well.

Honestly, I just enjoy all of the Allies personalities. I think they're all genuinely good people who have the same enthusiasm that I do for the games industry, and they all play off each other really well in their shows/streams.

@dipset I totally get that! Even I'm feeling some gentle exasperation with some things, but the fans who treat this game like it's garbage because of relatively trivial things are ridiculous.

I am by no means a big Pokemon fan, but I feel like people are placing emphasis on the wrong things. I think this game does a lot of the core stuff pretty well, and many fans are completely ignoring that in favor of poor visuals and animations. Idk, to me those are the least important parts of a Pokemon game. It bums me out that many people can't look past them.

FF XV was my game of the year! It was, and still is, the only game that I actively resisted completing so that I wouldn't have to say bye to the characters. It does such an excellent job of making their relationship seem genuine that it legitimately felt like letting go of friends when I stopped. Great post!

@thedemonpirate If you have the funds, I recommend going next year! It's not all within the hip hop sphere, in fact one of my favorites was a Math Rock band from Taiwan.
