See, this is why we shouldn't take breaks between episodes - too many games to talk about, and yet we talk about them anyway! This episode we tackle Destiny 2, Shadowrun: Hong Kong, Pillars of Eternity, Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire, Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius, Metroid: Samus Returns, Splatoon 2, SteamWorld Dig 2, Injustice 2, Wolfenstein 2... and that's BEFORE we get to the reviews (for games that aren't even all sequels)! Chris shares his thoughts on Jason Schreier's new book Blood, Sweat, and Pixels, Jared works hard to not spoil too much about Life Is Strange, Chris jumps through major technological hoops to tackle the stunning and brutal challenges of Cuphead, and Mike and Chris discuss the ups and downs of their time with Star Wars Battlefront 2. We wrap things up with a looooooong discussion of the current controversies surrounding loot boxes and microtransactions, and what place we think they might have in games going forward.
Spoiler alert: we solve all the problems of the industry by declaring that all games will cost $100 from now on. You could start saving your pennies now...or you could be like us and never pay full price for games! #UsedGamersStyle
