JayMoyles: Hello! It's a new year and it's time for a new Admintendo! 2018 is sure to bring us plenty of delights but before that, we'll ruminate on some of the good times that 2017 brought us. Then, we'll look ahead. But until that - let's meet the gang on this edition. I'm, as always, joined by my partner in crime, Mr. ZeroJones! Hello there squire!
ZeroJones: Zero... has been resurrected...
By which I mean, "Hello to y'all!", of course.
JayMoyles: And the "y'all" you're referring to is GNamer's resident gruesome twosome... the artist formerly known as Andyman the 949th and YouTube sensation Masofdas! Say hello lads!
Crumpy Andy: hello lads.
masofdas: Hello lads.
Damn you Andy.
JayMoyles: And the gruesome twosome moniker is proven true.
Let's do it to it then boys!
Let's kick off with some of your favourite forum moments from 2017. As the forum's most prolific lurker Andy, why don't you highlight some of your, erm, highlights?
Crumpy Andy: My personal highlight would be some of the art drawn this year. I seem to remember Luke doing some fantastic fan art earlier in the year, particularly the Zelda stuff.
The relaunch of the podcast has also been great, happy to hear some more regular audio content with a nice new twist.
masofdas: The VS Podcast so far was top notch, hope to hear another soon of that.
JayMoyles: Speaking selfishly, I've enjoyed making it with you guys! It's been one of my highlights of this year too and I've got some quality content in the oven (including a Versus Mode) for you soon.
masfodas: Excellent.
JayMoyles: What about yourself then Mas?
masofdas: I always like a good list and what better way then the Wii U vote, even if someone took a while with the results. I wonder if he was echoing Nintendo.
ZeroJones: The Wii U Vote was a good way to get that machine out of the forum's hair.
JayMoyles: I did enjoy observing the Wii U vote from afar, although like I said in the thread I'm pretty comfortable with my lack of a Wii U now, especially considering the number of Wii U to Switch ports we're getting. Bring me XCX and
Tokyo Mirage Sessions and we'll be set.
ZeroJones: TMS deserves to get to a wider audience, I reckon.
masofdas: I really want TMS #FE on Switch, Atlus get on that after
Catherine.
JayMoyles: I love a bit of
Persona, so I know it'll be right up my alley.
Anything you'd like to highlight from the forum, Zero?
ZeroJones: The meet-up was a great time, again. I haven't laughed that much in a good long time. This year's one - which we should probably start organising, oops! - is sure to be filled with amazing gaming, courtesy of our lovely Switches.
JayMoyles: Ah, we should get on that... loved the meetup this year, even it led to the biggest moment of hubris in my life during a
1-2 Switch showdown with your good self, Zero.
ZeroJones: No comment...
JayMoyles: 
Any other highlights lads, or are we moving this train onwards?
ZeroJones: Destination: next station!
Whatchoo Been Playing, Willis?!JayMoyles: So, it's time to go to the well once again with everybody's favourite - it's what we've been playing over the last few months! Let's go to the king of completion himself, Masofdas, to get us started.
masofdas: Where do you want me to start with Nintendo stuff or Nontendo?
JayMoyles: Whatever you choose, young Padawan.
masofdas: I'll go Nintendo which was only Switch as I've put my 3DS to rest, and it has been a grand 3 months with one of the best eShop titles
SteamWorld Dig 2 being the real standout especially for someone not big on metroidvanias.
ZeroJones: Love me a bit of
SteamWorld Dig 2. It improved on the original in so many ways. It proved that Image & Form can do level design as well as procedural generation.
masofdas: I've never played the OG
SteamWorld Dig or even
Heist.
ZeroJones: I can recommend both. It's been interesting to see them go from
Dig 1 to
Heist to
Dig 2 - it really shows them growing in confidence.
JayMoyles: Didn't you play SWD2 Andy?
Crumpy Andy: I did, I thought it was fantastic! Great new set of powerups, just a shame it was over so quick.
JayMoyles: What else have you been playing Mas?
masofdas: On Switch a few games I think Zero will want to talk about and others like
Rime and
Oxenfree (everyone should play it) which I think I've talked enough about already on the forum.
ZeroJones: And your Nontendo exploits?
masofdas: Loads as after I finished a certain Switch game, I went back to my backlog and took advantage of Game Pass for 99p.
Playing likes of
Brothers: Tale of Two Sons which I put as my fave Xbox One game on that tweet going around.
JayMoyles: Brothers is a cracking game. I love the way that the controls blend with the storytelling. A lovely touching journey, that one. One you've played, Andy?
Crumpy Andy: I forgot the BIG EVENT in
Brothers, so probably not one I can comment on too much...
JayMoyles: Ah. Fair enough then... don't know how on earth you could forget that but okay... moving on! Tell us about some games you do remember then, Mr. Crump.
*after five minute wait*ZeroJones: (I remember waiting this long once before...)
JayMoyles: (the wall approaches, prepare yourselves)
Crumpy Andy: Where do we start? Played a lot of the big shooters over the last few months - It was great being back in the world of
Destiny again this year, starting from scratch made it all feel new and exciting again.
CoD WW2 had a pretty decent single player, though the multiplayer wasn't working too well when I tried so it left a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth.
Battlefront 2 really refined the gameplay of the reboot and made the shooting actually feel good, you can really tell this is a DICE game rather than just a Star Wars game, just a shame about the needlessly complex loot system.
Overwatch has been a mainstay throughout the year, seasonal events giving me plenty of reason to play on top of the fact it's just a lot of fun with friends.
Wolfenstein 2 was a great romp, but the gameplay just didn't quite feel up to par when surrounded by so many other great shooters.
JayMoyles: Overwatch with... friends? Insinuating a lot there, Ricey boy.
masofdas: I had
Destiny 2 on my list of played games, I thought it was okay. Played none of the rest, apart from
Overwatch which I've even picked up on Xbox One and got decent with Moira, along with planning to watch some of the league starting soon. Come on you spitfires!
Crumpy Andy: Other games worth mentioning that probably won't get a nod -
What Remains of Edith Finch was a nice spin on the "walking sim" with a lot of great unique stories.
Ever Oasis has been a bit of surprise hit for me, lovely dungeoning and town building.
Over Christmas I've tried out quite a few of the
Jackbox games, Fibbage being a particular highlight and also dabbled in PlayStation's own attempt -
That's You.
I've enjoyed South Park on 2 fronts -
The Fractured But Whole came back and delivered a brilliant battle system with a slightly disappointing story and the mobile game,
Phone Destroyer is a genuinely brilliant free to play
Clash Royale alike.
Finally
Assassin's Creed Origins was a fantastic entry into the series. I wasn't as fed up with the old template as much as others, but it felt fresh and exciting and the story was one of the best in years.
ZeroJones: Ever Oasis was proper good for the reasons you mentioned. Some of its dungeons could have featured in a Zelda game.
JayMoyles: Jackbox has been a real (Christmas) cracker in my house too. I think
That's You paled in comparison to most of the
Jackbox offerings, but it was still a fun one.
masofdas: Edith Finch was top notch and I've just started
AC Origins which I'm holding judgement on at the moment.
JayMoyles: What about yourself then, Zero?
ZeroJones: I got time with
Picross S, which was poor;
Golf Story, which I liked a great deal;
Thimbleweed Park, which I'm hatin' on;
Cat Quest, which was limited but good fun;
VS Super Mario Bros, which was as good as I expected it to be;
FIFA 18, which I came round to after a few games;
Super Mario Odyssey, which I think is one of the games mas said I would talk about (
);
L.A. Noire, which is immense and would be my Game Of The Year if the Interview system were a bit clearer;
Layton's Mystery Journey, which is a fine piece of software; and
Pokémon Ultra Moon, which wasn't quite as fine a piece of software.
JayMoyles: I'm so chuffed you're into
LA Noire. It felt like a proper Zero game and I'm glad it ended up being the case (no pun intended).
ZeroJones: The case! Arf.
JayMoyles: Press X to play bad cop with that pun.
Crumpy Andy: Oh yes,
Golf Story and
Cat Quest were both brilliant!
ZeroJones: Both
Golf Story and
Cat Quest succeeded, despite being incredibly repetitive. The puns in CQ were high quality and the script in
Golf Story is worth the entrance fee on its own.
masofdas: You bring some up of the other games on my list Zero of what I played on Switch with like you say
LA Noire being a top notch, FIFA not so much.
ZeroJones: I'm not well-equipped to join the FIFA conversation - '18 might be the first one I've meaningfully played in seventeen years. I liked it well enough but have yet to fully click with it. To add insult to injury, my brother had a game on my Switch in the pub and won 5-0. I'd only scored about three goals in four games at that point.
JayMoyles: It's one of those games that I'm glad is on Switch, but I've no desire to pick up myself.
ZeroJones: I wanted to support EA. I know they're horrid, awful, and smell of poo and wee and have no friends, but the presence of their games on systems sells those systems, so.... here we are!
JayMoyles: Shall I chat about some of my recent games, then?
Crumpy Andy: Naa.
ZeroJones: I think that would be a capital idea! A capital like Paris, or Buenos Aires.
JayMoyles: Well, alright. Moving on then...
Nah, I'm not taking that from Ricey boy! Let's go.
*in seconds this appears*JayMoyles: As for me, I played lots of
Super Mario Odyssey - as did we all - and I'm still not satisfied with where I left off in that game. More to do! What an adventure though - the sheer scope of some of those bigger kingdoms was a sight to behold and I enjoyed the tighter design of the smaller kingdoms as well. Crazy to think that we had that AND Zelda in the same year. Since then, I've not played a huge amount - a fair bit of MHXX in November, some more Mario and a smattering of
Overwatch here or there. I've recently started
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and I'll be chatting about that in the 3DS forum as I go along that massive journey. It's a damn fine game, but one I wish I'd played on a proper telly back on Wii. Finally, I've been battling my way (in a good way, honest) through
Fire Emblem Warriors as of late. As I said on the forum, I wish the cast came from a more diverse group of games than the games they selected, but the actual fighing itself is a wonderful blend of Fire Emblem and Warriors. Tiki's a pile of trash though. Long live the Hero King Marth.
ZeroJones: (he had that typed out somewhere else and pasted it in!)
JayMoyles: (preparation. Man's gotta sleep tonight!)
ZeroJones: (sleep is for the weak, Apu!)
Crumpy Andy: I'm with you on
Fire Emblem Warriors, I thought it lacked something compared to the diverse cast of
Hyrule Warriors.
masofdas: You can understand why as people like me came into series with
Awakening.
Crumpy Andy: Doesn't make it not a bad thing
JayMoyles: Oh, totally. But throw us
Path of Radiant Dawn folks a bone...
It feels like they purposefully withhold Ike to rope us suckers in.
ZeroJones: Nobody puts Ikey in a corner.
Crumpy Andy: I think the biggest issue there is it didn't even feel like it offered the variety the series has. The class system felt needlessly restricted.
JayMoyles: Yeah, it has scuppered things slightly, but I suppose that those restrictions needed to be there to give it that Fire Emblem feel. As a blend between Warriors and Fire Emblem, you can't fault it there.
But the fact that all the Pegasus Knights play identically is a bit crap.
Crumpy Andy: But I'd say Warriors has more variety as a series, so many of the characters have entirely different weapons or combos and this is a series that can have about 100 odd characters, just felt a little restricted and unadventurous. Imagine playing as the Laguz!
JayMoyles: I mean, I'm with you in regards to the character variety. But I'm dead impressed by all the Fire Emblem mechanics bleeding pretty well into the Warriors formula.
Crumpy Andy: I'll give you that one!
ZeroJones: Odyssey was alright, too, I have to admit.
Crumpy Andy: I liked the bit where Mario jumped and got a moon.
masofdas: That's a good bit.
ZeroJones: Or turned a corner and got a Moon.
JayMoyles: I liked the bit where Mario threw his cap at a frog and then he was the frog and went ribbit ribbit it's a me.
Crumpy Andy: Right, that's enough Mario chat.
So Monster Hunter, I've heard that's an awful game?
JayMoyles: Bogging this fine piece of textual content down.
I'm assuming we're all somewhat withholding chat about Mario as we'll be talking about it in depth (probably!) on the bumper GOTY GNamer Podcast. So on that note... shall we move on to the next station?
Crumpy Andy: Naa, just nothing to discuss, it's a game where everyone experiences the same things, all you can really do is point out good bits.
masofdas: Before we do can I just give a quick mention to a few games not brought up?
Crumpy Andy: What was missed Mas?
JayMoyles: ...make it quick, Mas. You have two minutes... your time starts.... NOW
masofdas: Xenoblade 2, I've played about 8hrs and seems better then the last two.
JayMoyles: insert Who Wants to Be a Millionaire tense music
Crumpy Andy: *Xenboblade
JayMoyles: Oh dear.
Clock's ticking...
masofdas: Hidden Agenda, thought it could be this year's
Until Dawn;
Horizon Zero Dawn finally got beaten and is fantastic; played the biggest game of the year PUBG as it now on console - it's odd.
Crumpy Andy: ding ding ding
masofdas: Life is Strange: Before the Storm which more should be talking about and just some odd things like D4,
Hue,
Refunct,
Zoo Tycoon.
Crumpy Andy: I totally forgot LiS, that was a banger.
masofdas: That's about it really. Thought
Xeno 2 needed a mention for Balla and so did PUBG as it's huge.
JayMoyles: I suppose this could all neatly tie into our next section which is...
ZeroJones: Customers joining us from WWBP are advised that a full ticket inspection is underway - have all your tickets and passes ready.
Some Good But Not Great Games That Were Released In 2017, God BlessJayMoyles: Now, I know we've got a meaty podcast about our favourite games this year, but this might be a good chance for us to air some of our favourites that might not necessarily feature on the list or to start talking about our top five without spoiling the order.
I'll kick us off this time, but I'll avoid listing any games that do feature in my list. One of my honourable mentions will likely fall to
Blaster Master Zero. This came out of leftfield in the early days of the Switch and surprised me with how much fun it was. I do enjoy a retro side-scroller and this was up there with some of the best I've played. The light Metroidvania elements were a good touch too. Secondly,
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 also surprised me - it launched during the Septemberpocalypse in which I had a million other games to play but DBXV2 took up all of my time. It's absolutely going to be usurped by
Dragon Ball FighterZ when that comes around, but I still had a rip-roaring time with DXV2. And finally... breaking news... MHXX is another honourable mention! Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the game now but the fact it took nearly 100 hours to get to the new content really didn't help matters for me. I wish I could have ported my
MHGen save data. The language barrier has also been a bit of a pain considering I can't get my skills set up easily. But having fresh Monster Hunter content to play has been a real treat and the last twenty hours or so have been up there with anything else I've played this year.
ZeroJones: Very nice! I liked
Blaster Master Zero well enough - heck, it's got my name in it, I have to show some affinity with it! - and am just waiting for a good time to get further in the Shantae playthrough I started a few days ago.
JayMoyles: I'll open the floor to yourself then, Zero, if there's any other treats from last year you'd like to highlight?
ZeroJones: The best game I played last year is actually barred from any GOTY2017 discussions, because it was released in 2013. It is...
Deus Ex: Human Revolution, on the old Wii U.
JayMoyles: Brilliant.
ZeroJones: Once I'd got serious about how I was going to approach playing it, it was a dream. I didn't care for Stereotypical Gruff-Voiced Protag all that much, but the variability in how you could play the game blew me away.
Please remember I am a sheltered gamer, playing only on my underpowered Nintendo consoles, unable to experience big-ish open world adventures.
JayMoyles: I've heard good things about Deus Ex, but it's not a series I've ever dived into. I'm sure Andy's played it though...?
masofdas: Doubt he's played the OG though.
Or
Invisible War.
Crumpy Andy: I bloody love Deus Ex, it took me a couple of goes to get into it, but once it clicked it jumped up to one of my favourite stealth games/RPGs of all time. So many ways to tackle any situation, a great story and just a really cool world to be in. The sequel is also a banger.
Also wee off mas
[Editor's note: originally there was a harsher word in place of 'wee'; this has been lost to the Place Where Naughty Words Go To Die]
ZeroJones: There'll be none of that language in my classroom.
JayMoyles: Edit that filth, Andy.
Crumpy Andy: Well ahead of you.
JayMoyles: Good man.
masofdas: To be honest I've not played the OG but have played IW.
JayMoyles: Your punishment alongside a lengthy detention is to tell us about your honourable mentions, Andy.
ZeroJones: Actually, we have to get in touch with his parents before we can issue any detention. 24 hours notice needed.
The More You Know
JayMoyles: Not in this establishment!
(But indeed, the more I know!)
ZeroJones: Maybe the new Education Secretary has changed things... #TopicalSatire
*time passes*JayMoyles: (clearly young Rice is skipping detention at this rate)
ZeroJones: He's just doing his homework in class. That's... fine, I guess?
Crumpy Andy: The biggest honourable for me would be
Yakuza Kiwami. It was great to finally experience the start of the series but it was a really well made remaster that polished it up to modern standards.
Fire Emblem Echoes also deserves a nod, it was nice to be playing a game from before the optional permadeath, where the game had to accommodate for the fact you might not have everyone you need. The dungeon travelling was a nice touch, though I don't think I'll miss it too much for the next game.
I was glad to have another Mass Effect game and I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the Andromeda galaxy, I just wish everyone else felt the same!
Finally
Uncharted The Lost Legacy was a lovely side story, just not new enough to beat out the competition.
JayMoyles: Oh, I'd totally forgotten about
Fire Emblem Echoes! I agree with you on the dungeon crawling, but Mila's Turnwheel and the lack of marriage and child units made it a refreshing change. Now watch as Waifu Emblem on Switch shatters all that...
masofdas: I'm still yet to play a Yakuza but do own Zero, heard
Kiwami felt like a PS2 game still and should just be missed.
Crumpy Andy: Well, whoever said that is wrong.
masofdas: Seen loads say it and go just buy Zero.
ZeroJones: I cannot be bought.
Crumpy Andy: You should play Zero first.
ZeroJones: I cannot be played!
Crumpy Andy: but it's an essential play after that.
masofdas: Hmm, see I know you've played a few of them and with 6 coming, I think I would be better just playing Zero and 6 which are both new games.
Crumpy Andy: I've played all but 2 now, that would be a terrible move.
JayMoyles: Close us out then, Mas!
masofdas: Well I can only play
Zero,
Kiwami or 6 on PS4; also you need to play Shenmue, Mr Rice. I can think of 3 games for mine that won't make my Top 5 and those are
Resident Evil 7 in VR which is closer to what I want from the series and would be happy if RE8 is like that but sooner still have the classic formula. Then
Pyre, which looks fantastic and plays just as well but the end of it goes on a bit too long and lets the game down. Last is
Little Nightmares from Namco which is their sort of indie but not type game.
JayMoyles: I'm too much of a wuss to play
Resi 7...
Crumpy Andy: I tried 7 the other day and couldn't bring myself to turn around when I got into the house. Horrible. Bring back Resi 4-6!
I think
Pyre is probably the studio's weakest game, couldn't bring myself to get through to the first ending, let alone the multiple playthroughs it sounds like it needs.
Little Nightmares was ok though, a little overrated I reckon.
JayMoyles: Any other thoughts on this part of our journey, gents? I can see the next station fast approaching...
masofdas: Survival Horror game scary, you'd have thought and least not generic 3rd person crap.
Pyre to the first ending would be 10/10 just the multiple playthroughs let it down.
ZeroJones: I hope that's not RE4 you're calling "generic 3rd person crap" - that's one of the best games I've ever played.
masofdas: It is and one of my all-time faves but spawned two utter crap games and RE7 had to come save the series
ZeroJones: Ah, d'you mean 5 and 6? I've never had the privilege.
Crumpy Andy: Resident Evil 5 is one of the most fun Co-op games you can play, just because you don't stick to an archaic formula, doesn't mean it isn't good.
JayMoyles: CAN OF WORMS INTENSIFIES
masofdas: It is so generic though.
And not Res Evil at all.
Crumpy Andy: But at least it plays well.
JayMoyles: Oh look! It's the next station to save us from the Resident Evil on board the train! Let's a goooooo!
masofdas: It might but shouldn't have Res Evil on the box and like I said RE7 seems to have saved the series from DOOM.
Crumpy Andy: DOOM is very good.
ZeroJones: I believe the conductor has just said we are leaving this station?
Crumpy Andy: Throw him off the train then
ZeroJones: Shocked! Shocked and appalled at the very suggestion!
JayMoyles: Tickets please!
masofdas: He should get off with his bad taste in games.
Crumpy Andy: I didn't think you'd want to be on the train, it's not a classic form of transport.
Ghost Of Christmas Yet To ComeJayMoyles: So, with 2018 here, what's the one thing you're looking forward to and one thing you'd like to see in the world of video games this year? A New Year's Wishlist of sorts, if you will. Kick us off, Mas!
masofdas: I got this feeling
Death Stranding will come out in 2018 even if that sounds mad, as Kojima has said it's close to the editing stage if it was a film. We know Mark Cerny has played 6hrs at least and Shawn Layden saying he's never seen a game development move so quickly and if it does then that's my most wanted game. Then it's
Left Alive which sounds like it might be Metal Gear Solid from Square Enix and as we were talking about it
Resident Evil 2 Remake must be due.
JayMoyles: I count three things there... this rampant rule breaking! I do think we'll get Death Stranding sooner than we imagine but I still envisage that'll be in 2019.
Crumpy Andy: I don't remember talking about the
Resi 2 remake?
masofdas: I was talking classic RE games and
ReMake 2 is in the works and will be like the classic games and from my 3 games (sorry). I just want series or ideas from 20 years ago.
Well how long does it take to edit a film?
JayMoyles: Clearly many years, judging by Kojima!
Crumpy Andy: So bad things that have been phased out for a reason?
masofdas: I just want the big Japanese companies to be on top again and give me games I enjoyed playing. It's why the likes of things like
Yooka-Laylee on Kickstarter and crash has done so well.
Crumpy Andy: Popular Japanese game -
Yooka Laylee.
masofdas: You know what I mean, there are fans out there for older style of games.
I don't think two of my choices will play like old games though.
JayMoyles: What's your New Year's Wishlist then, Zero?
ZeroJones: I'm hoping that
Kirby: Star Allies is a great little game. Usually love Kirby and it looks like it could be real fun.
JayMoyles: I forgot that's actually got a name now! Yeah, well up for a bit of Kirby.
Like a nice hug. Comforting and warm.
ZeroJones: As for my wish for 2018, just for Nintendo to keep the momentum that they've earned for the Switch with a stellar 2017 going this year. Heaven knows how they're going to cross that bridge... with animals... or Pokémon...
masofdas: Kirby game, the Switch has peaked.
JayMoyles: I'll hear none of that towards my pal Kirby!
ZeroJones: The absolute cheek!
Crumpy Andy: Are you being sarcastic when you're sitting here wishing for games to return to the stone age?!
masofdas: I said two of them will play like modern games or close to them.
ZeroJones: I believe we call it the 'N64 era', Andy? Which might explain why you don't like it...
masofdas: I do like Kirby, just he normally gets games at the end of a system's life.
JayMoyles: Triple Deluxe was in the 3DS's heyday, no?
masofdas: Sure but didn't we just get a Kirby game on 3DS?
JayMoyles: Eh,
Robobot was 2016. Unless you count one of the spin-off titles?
ZeroJones: Robobobobobot? Or one of the eShop ones? They are easy to make, it seems, but this is a proper full Kirby platformer.
masofdas: One came out like last month at retail.
JayMoyles: To distract you from further Resi chat Andy, what's your wishlist for 2018 in games?
Crumpy Andy: I'm looking forward to getting my own place and putting some games in it.
There's also a trio of games I'm currently looking forward to quite a lot in
MH:World,
Bayonetta and the incomparable
Yakuza 6.
JayMoyles: I'm also well up for
MH:World, natch, and
Bayonetta too! I think
Bayo's going to be well up my alley. And I really need to get around to the Yakuza series sometime...
Crumpy Andy: Yes, you do.
ZeroJones: Have you played a Bayonetta game before, Jay?
JayMoyles: +2 weeks to my return to Yakuza
Besides some time with the demo on 360, nope! It'll be very fresh to me.
masofdas: You've played DMC?
JayMoyles: Only DMC4, but I've heard that
Bayo is the queen of the spectacle action genre.
Crumpy Andy: DMC is a
Bayonetta game after all, that's why we all call it
Bayo 0.
masofdas: Same style of gameplay and some of the same team.
JayMoyles: Shall I take us home then?
masofdas: I'm already home.
Crumpy Andy: Too much bants.
Too much.
ZeroJones: Terminus! Keep the train thing going!
masofdas: This train trip is going to cost a fortune.
Crumpy Andy: Not if it's anywhere other than the UK!
JayMoyles: As Andy's already brought up
MH:World, I'll highlight how excited I am for
Dragon Ball FighterZ. It just looks so good in motion. I hope it's reasonably simple enough so I can get into like I have with fighters such as IJ2 and SFIV. The sad thing is... I don't know anybody else planning to get it!
As for a wish... it's the same as every year for years now. BRING
MOTHER 3 TO THE WEST FOR GOD'S SAKE NINTENDO IT'S FREE MONEY JUST DO IT IT'S TRANSLATED IT'S READY IT'S DONE LAUNCH YOUR SWITCH VC WITH IT AND LET US PLAY IT OFFICIALLY I DON'T CARE IF ANYBODY ELSE LIKES IT BRING IT OVER JUST FOR ME PLEASE.
...okay, done.
masofdas: I might be playing in the closed BETA of DBZ
Crumpy Andy: Fascinating.
JayMoyles: ...it's an open beta though.
masofdas: Nope, closed press one soon, mate.
JayMoyles: As in January 14th?
masofdas: I didn't mention MonHan as it's out in like 2 weeks.
Crumpy Andy: Welcome to the Admintedious section.
masofdas: I got the email today.
ZeroJones: This sounds like an Admintendo exclusive.
JayMoyles: If it's January 14th, it's the open beta.
#RIVETINGCONTENT
masofdas: Well, the email from Namco said 'closed BETA for press'.
Maybe it starts on the 10th or something?
Then goes public on the 14th.
JayMoyles: Well. On that bombshell... I believe this train has terminated. Time to pick up our luggage and depart!
ZeroJones: Time will tell!
Final destination for this station. Please mind the gap from the train to the platform edge.
Finmasofdas: I would cut the DBZ press stuff but I am excited for it.
Crumpy Andy: Why would you cut your best content?
JayMoyles: Only our editor will decide.
ZeroJones: No comment!
masofdas: Mind the Gap where's the Utd fans
JayMoyles: Thanks for joining us Andy and Mas. I'm sure your Resi chats will be talked about for months to come on the forum.
Crumpy Andy: Thanks 4 having me.
masofdas: I think the same happened last time as it does annoy me.
JayMoyles: We couldn't tell!
Crumpy Andy: Thanks for clarifying.
masofdas: But I did play it up a bit.
ZeroJones: Oof.
Crumpy Andy: You know this hasn't ended? You just confessed to it being a ruse for all to see.
masofdas: No but there must be things you like and then people jump on and say the newer version is better.
Crumpy Andy: If Macbeth just walked off the stage saying it was all just an act you wouldn't be impressed would you?
JayMoyles: GET OFF THE TRAIN
Thanks for your time on Admintendo East Coast though gents. And of course, for joining us always esteemed driver Zero!
