They were doing a betting special for PSX/VGA right? Any word when it will be up?

I would assume if he got his hands on it most of the other Allies have as well.

Doesn't seem like there's anything planned for TGA though unfortunately.
While I don't know exactly what's planned for TGA, at least it seems to be included in the betting special:

Hah, I'm sure I'm likely the last one to notice this - but just saw an Allstate commercial during MNF and recognized Amanda (Jones' wife) in it. That's pretty awesome.

Y'all got any more of them reviews?
Id be surprised. Jones showed the audio editing process and that coincides with the visual editing. If it's long, I'm guessing tomorrow.

Any idea which allies will be on the stream?

He was talking PSX in general, not the conference live.

I almost forgot Bud Light happened.
Keighly is the Doritos pope, and Bosman is the Bud Light choir boy.
Oh and I saw the Black Mirror episode Ian recommended I think 2 podcasts ago. Shit was amazing. The entire show is incredible really.

So has Jones thought of a replacement yet for Infinity?

Speaking of Infinity, over in gaming there's a thread about the rumor that Skylanders is getting axed as well. That would just leave Lego Dimensions (and Amiibo?). I wonder what that means for Crash and Spyro.

People are finding out how big a scam these toys to life games are.

I'd say it's not a scam, but the usual thing of companies finding success with something and then doubling down on it to the point where it collapses under its own weight. Activision appears to have done this multiple times now, with Skylanders (allegedly) and with Guitar Hero. How they haven't done it yet to Call of Duty, I don't know.

I watched Kingsglaive while my peasant internet still attempts to download the day one patch for XV....
Honestly, I enjoyed it. I'm glad I didn't go out of my way to catch a theater screening though.
As a movie, it's pretty bad. As a videogame intro cinematic that establishes the world and characters, looks amazing, and has some neat action sequences: it was pretty amazing.
Didn't expect it to approach Pacific Rim territory at times so hey, that was neat. It'd never happen but I'd love to see that team's attempt at a dumb DMC movie. All style, zero substance

Did it justify buying the Deluxe? I'm considering just renting the movie, but maybe the steelbook looks nice in person.

I think so? Can't say if I'll ever rewatch it but as a precursor to the game I'm glad I watched it.
I also really like how the steelbook looks. I think I was expecting it to be really shiny and obnoxious but it's flat and subdued, looks like album artwork.
If you aren't feeling the steelbook from pictures then you may just not like it. From as soon as they showed it I was way into it. For what it's worth, the words "Final Fantasy" are actually on the plastic slipcover that goes over it, the steelbook itself is just the artwork.
It's also easier to justify when I have Best Buy GCU and used trade credit on it
Paid a bit more to get a movie and (imo) much nicer artwork/packaging. 20 bucks or whatever seems fair for that

Going to the theater was actually the worst way to experience Kingsglaive. Having seen it twice at home, I think much more highly of it than I did before.
care to elaborate a little more? as a person who didn't even had the option to go to a theater I don't know why that would be worse..

I mean imagine going to a theater and seeing a video game intro cutscene. Months before the game actually comes out
It's a barely self contained story with the real payoffs of the story being held for the game itself
It's a neat thing and what's there is mostly good, but without the game it's kind of worthless

I liked KG okay but I think Square is pretty insane for making it if they want to invite newcomers to XV. Basically the concensus around the net is that you ''need'' to see the movie. Wether that is true or not it's not a good idea to ask new customers to shell additional 10/$ on top of a 60 you are paying for the game to see the full intro.

It was just a very distracting atmosphere. People were loud. It was hard to focus. There were things I didn't notice during the first viewing.
EDIT: It should be noted that this was at some weird premiere event in LA, so it might have been fine under normal circumstances.

Spent hours downloading XV patch with slow internet
Downloaded and installed
Set aside everything, turn off computer, settle in
Boot up game.....
"Install time remaining: 13 min"

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for UPS to deliver my copy. :\

My patch took 15 minutes to download. My PSN speeds are usually really good but even so, I was pretty impressed. I still took like two hours to start it because I wanted a shower, food and to finish Inside but it was nice to know I could start it up really quickly.
I'm loving it so far. It's going to suck putting it to the side next week when TLG comes out but priorities.
What? Where?
I mean, yes the hype would be unreal, but as for the actual movie I'm not seeing why it should be so different.
except for this.... which I don't actually think it is strictly worse, yes it is worse to specifically see the movie, but that experience is something I would totally not see as worse
#neverforget
I love that image. I wish Kyle was doing another #BudLightChallenge this year, but even so I'm still super jazzed to see what Kyle's segment ends up being. He seemed excited when he talked about it on a stream.
I get off work in 45 minutes... still waiting on that delivery email

Waiting on USPS to deliver mine from Amazon. The office at my apartment complex closes at 5pm, so hopefully they just deliver it to my apartment.
Mine did that, was really weird. 13 minutes exactly too and the disc had been in for 2 hours. No idea why.

It's the usual weirdness from games that require additional install upon booting up
I don't understand it and it's the worst when you aren't expecting it
That said, early hot takes: Final Fantasy XV is a real cool videogame. I recommend switching to control type B for a more traditional action control scheme (who the fuck chose circle to attack)
