Skip seeing the Arrival for the fourth time and just buy it. That game is going to be huge.

I hope Super Mario Run comes to Android in early 2017. Mobile game exclusivity is for the birds.

Like it's insane to me how advanced and immersive the wish fulfillment is now. Who didn't want to battle AT-ATs and fly around in a robot battle as a kid? It's amazing.
That wish fulfillment and sense of scale is what makes the game to me, lack of single player and more modes/maps be damned. The gameplay is also silky smooth.
Yeah, and the graphics are gorgeous. I keep having the "holy shit" moments with both this and Titanfall 2.
Absolutely, the sound design is top notch too. It just feels like Star Wars.
Yeah it nails pretty much all of these things. I don't mind getting my ass handed to me as long as i get to pilot an AT-ST every now and then.

I was on the fence with this one. The series has been such a let down for awhile now. So far it's a lot better than the last three to four cluster fucks but I'm not sure if it's as good as 12 or the other classics.

It's a beautiful game and it's been fun so far.

How did you get better? is it just a matter of leveling up and getting better weapons? Seems like I have to shoot guys 10 times to put them down but they only need to shoot me once and then I see they are level 100. Everyone seems to be a 100 and then me a 8.

Jet pack helps a lot, and eventually you'll figure out which guns are best for which levels. Getting black/leveled up cards helps a lot too, because they recharge faster.

No, I'm only like level 11 and basically don't have dick yet. But I've gotten the hang of things for the most part. Playing through some of the tutorials and solo modes helped a lot. Got a better feel for the weapons and enemies. I'm not great, but I've moved from always finishing near the bottom of the rankings to usually finishing somewhere in the middle.

OK I watched a video on how to get better at Battlefront and they mentioned the solo and tutorials too so I should give those a try. I didn't even notice they had those modes yet.

So Marvel vs. Capcom 4 is a thing. Apparently Marvel said 'no more mutants' and it's also going to be based on the MCU characters.

So are we looking at a Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game here? Because it would be so much fun to have Crisp Rat beat up on Robbie Downey.

Trailer for Battlefront's Rogue One DLC, due later this month:



I'm disappointed that it looks like a good portion will focus on flying. The flying in this game is mostly awful (the cloud cars on Bespin and the Death Star trench runs are ok).
