Yeah. I just used regular shipping and the post came without it already. I don't actually care too much, I'm not going to get to put time into it until Thursday.

Oh alright. In the US usually packages for us come independently of the regular mail, sometimes delivered by entirely different companies. So it's normal for your package not to arrive until the late afternoon
Post office came through! Called them yesterday to tell them to hold my package and not load it on the truck. Went in right after work and was able to pick up Persona 5 in just a few minutes.
I watched the quick look, but seeing that opening on my TV... I could watch it forever. This game is a shoe-in for Best Styyyyyyle, right?

We have private companies too, they usually handle bigger packages, but I cheaped out and got free shipping which just comes with our regular mail service.
Steelbooks are cool and I won't be able to play until Wednesday night anyway. Maaaybe tonight if I feel like it after work.
Steel books are cool. They're even cooler a few months for now on eBay when they're $20. Definitely have started doing that lately if I want a sweet physical copy but would rather have a digital install.
Playing through Kingdom Hearts 2 before Persona 5 shows up and Pence looks like what I imagine teenage Jeff Gerstmann looked like.
What do y'all think??
Why does his shirt look like a menu from Persona 5?
Jeff would wear a The Bouncer jersey

My renewal for premium happened yesterday, I wonder when the new merch will hit the store Rorie was talking about on UPF.
Fuckin' anime hipsters.

Bummer. I was a big Banjo fan as a 10-12 year old. Was rooting for this.

You get in on that Switch pricing error?
Same. Hope it's not poop.
Yup. I was interested in it on Switch, and for $25 it was easy
Well if it is, the Switch version won't be out until months after release, so I can just cancel if reviews are bad

I ordered too, but I'll probably cancel for one or more of the following reasons:
1. I don't know if the game will be good.
2. I probably want it on PC if at all.
3. If I want it on Switch, I'd prefer to have it digitally.
I didn't know this. Waaack.
When they announced the date for everyone else, they said Switch would be "shortly afterward", but I'm expecting mid July or something. Can't expect much else when Nintendo gave out dev kits so late. Who knows though? Maybe it'll only be a week or two after

As a person who complains that too many newer games come out looking/acting retro without actually playing or performing retro, this is why I'm still looking forward to it. Really interested in an "accurate to era" experience in a new game.

because fuck progress
Pretty much. Polygon complaining about the lack of a mini-map is too much.
It seems like a game Jeff would give a 2/5 and Dan a 5/5, simply due to their age.
I'm actually quite happy this game has both 2/10s and 10/10s.

If people are paying to fuck progress then eh. It knows exactly what it wants to be and so did their backers.
In the end a niche is a niche.

you can do the retro throwback but still do smart shit to make it a better playing game
look at Doom
Doom doesn't lose its identity because you can look up and down and jump now
I think the only bit of progress that is truly lacking here is the camera is still a mess. You'd think they'd get a handle on fixing at least the camera.
I just played some Drawn to Death. It sucks.
I decided to do that after playing the Toybox. I now feel really good about that decision.

I mean that's fair. I'm not say that YL will be remembered as a great piece of work, I'm just of the opinion that niche games and people who like them should be allowed to exist. Doom had a goal of elevating itself from its legacy, it's fine if YL didn't though. It'll just pass into obscurity way before something like doom does.
Speaking of incredible niches though how the fuck did yoko taro direct a million seller?

I mean digital is the one true way to get games. Fuck getting off the couch to switch discs that take up shelf space. I had to work today otherwise I'd already be playing. Will hopefully get ~5 hours in tonight though.

I dunno... I played Banjo Kazooie to completion again about a year ago and I still think that game is pretty great (although it drags at the end). It'd be like a 7 or 8 out of 10 today I think. Tooie and DK64 probably hold up worse. I played Tooie for the first time on the 360 and was frankly pretty bored by it. Just gigantic levels that you spend a lot of time wandering around aimlessly trying to root out collectibles.
But I agree with the sentiment that they really should have tried to modernize and bring something new to the genre like Snake Pass or Grow Home. But that wouldn't have sold as well on Kickstarter.
You know what's a good game whose mechanics would still hold up well in 2017? Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts.
Fantastapotamus
Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I'm not gonna let GB rewrite history, Nuts and Bolts was awful.
I'm still hopeful for YL, haven't really read anything too bad so far. It seems to be what I wanted it to be + plus some janky camera and performance issues.

Nuts & Bolts should have been a Blast Corp game.
Also it sucks.
Grow Home is bad, too.
Snake Pass is good.
