You cute kids and your bang bang shoot-em-up games.

You old fogies with your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and your click click clicky games.  ;)

I don't like playing with a mouse and keyboard. Also, would need a PC that could handle these things, right now I don't even plug a mouse in to my laptop.

Into the Breach remains pretty great. It's been a long time since a roguelike/roguelite has pulled me in this much, probably since Spelunky. I know there are other 2018 games I should get to, but I feel like I could take my time and play lots of Into the Breach before moving onto the next 2018 video game.

Quick thoughts:

The Blackout beta may have ruined PUBG for me, it’s hard going back to this unoptomized mess after playing such a polished AAA battle royale experience (that isn’t Fortnite).

The James Bond car tie-in with Forza Horizon 4 is brand synergy at its finest.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is super unpolished and inconsistent, but the tombs/crypts/gorgeous scenery keeps me coming back for more.

I’m probably buying that PlayStation mini... though not having Metal Gear Solid on that thing is a travesty.

I will not be buying that PS Mini...probably. The controllers not having the sticks, and thus not having Ape Escape, is silly. Also, CINECAST! FFVII.

No sticks? What a joke. Also, I've bought PS1 games on PSN that I should be able to play on PS4 and there's no good reason they haven't made them available so I've no qualms emulating them on a PC at this point.

Also, neither of you mentioned the Nintendo Online full lineup finally getting revealed, probably because it's pretty terrible. I've no real anxiety about losing saves and no Switch game that looks to be using multiplayer seems enticing to me at least until Smash comes around, so I've no problem giving it a hard pass for now.

I feel bad for old games on consoles. I've got so many PC games I can easily play in about 5 minutes of download/install time that work very smoothly on PC, the same cannot be said for most console classics. Or, if you can, you have to buy them again for each new platform release which is just greedy.

I am going to sign up for it, definitely for Smash, but probably before. Have to buy those dumb joycon without the sticks, you know? Only reason I'm not signing up tonight is because I forgot my wallet in my car.

Celeste has ended up being quite a delight. Starts out as a knuckle-gripping platformer but evolves into actually having a great story and some delightful mechanics as it progresses. Highly recommend. Easily going to make my best of the year list.

Yup, that's a great game. I'm not good enough at it to do the post-game content, but the campaign is very good.
