@IGN For those kind of Day One sales, you can’t give people a reason to hesitate — and $80 is gonna make a lot of their audience hesitate. Not saying they won’t buy it at all, but they don’t click that pre-order button and they keep putting it off until they see everyone else playing.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@IGN $70, special editions will not include early access.

$80 wouldn’t kill sales long term, but would absolutely cut the insane record-breaking launch that Rockstar wants to tote. They want 20 million copies and $1.5 Billion on Day One. (Cont.)

@geoffkeighley Sticking to games with an official date (otherwise it’s always the next Zelda/Persona/FromSoft game)

1. Fable
2. GTA VI
3. Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@luscielia WILD that more people aren’t saying Ocarina of Time — must be that it’s coming soon.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@chromeowls @Master0fHyrule Had to be there.

In combat sports, we’d call it the Pound for Pound greatest. A small fighter can decimate their weight class while losing to an average fighter twice their size.

OoT is not amazing because it holds up 💯% today, but because it was earth shattering at its time.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@Master0fHyrule Still a Top 5 Zelda for me
(1. BotW || 2. ALttP || 3. TP || 4. TotK || 5. OoT)

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@Master0fHyrule I absolutely adored OoT when I first played it in 2001. But subsequent playthroughs have frustrated me with how slow and limited the game is. I don’t mean over-tutorialization (like TP/SS), but literally how slow the moment to moment gameplay is, especially combat.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@Hoopss Then I’ll say it — America now rooting for the Knicks to lose.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@hadesplutoo @Ever_Green_Bean @_TK_555555 Nobody needs to defend their opinion. They’ve stated what they don’t like about it, whether someone wants to give examples is up to them.

If they’re making video essays or doing a podcast, yeah they should be giving more than that but this is Twitter. Who cares?

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@OhSauna @_TK_555555 Wack! Line delivery wasn’t great, but it was great coming full circle on this.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@Ever_Green_Bean @_TK_555555 That is valid criticism, even if I don’t agree with it.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@_TK_555555 The illustration is definitely overdramatic, but when you’ve got a 9 sandwiches by two 10s it can feel like the odd man out.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@TheWordWalk @MikeWingerii They don’t even need to police it because you can’t just add your own version to YouVersion — it’s a curated selection.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@Stormi_luv

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@destiny_thememe @PaulTassi No relation.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@JezCorden The world is healing

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@TheHiddenOneAC Pokopia so far, but after just a couple hours in Mina the Hollower I have a feeling that’s gonna change.

Have not played 007 yet, gonna be a minute still.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@luscielia Not shown, but it’s Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@luscielia Well, trouble is every game on this list is at least a 9/10 except for Spider-Man 2 and Crimson Desert, and few people try to claim those are top-tier.

I would say either Expedition 33 is overrated in terms of novelty or TLOU 2 getting GOTY’s against Hades, FF7R, ACNH, or GoT.

[Uncle Cyborg @UncleCyborg]

@serenade_sun Truuuuue, but I get the Sonic Frontiers things. Definitely not trash but man, that game needed a more steady hand at the helm in terms of direction.
