Heads up: No Spoiler Warning<\/a> this week. But! Josh and Chris are working on something fun that might hold us over.<\/p>\n

Show notes:
\n0:00:40: Looking ahead to the end of 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking back, it feels sort of like the Black Friday problem<\/a> I’ve talked about in the past. You want to release your games close to Christmas so that it’s there for gift-buyers. But then someone else does the same thing and you end up sharing the sales instead of dominating them. So you move the release date up a little bit to hit the shelves before them. But they get the same idea, and pretty soon everyone is fighting for October sales.<\/p>\n

0:03:10: VR<\/strong><\/p>\n

0:05:55: Battlefield VS. Titanfall<\/strong><\/p>\n

0:11:19: Gears of War 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the show I said I didn’t care about Gears of War. I’ve actually been curious about the series for a long time and now that it’s coming to PC I might actually check it out. Although, not at launch-day prices.<\/p>\n

0:14:42: Civilization 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m really looking forward to picking this up so I can be bad at it and play it wrong.<\/p>\n

0:18:43: Dishonored 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

0:21:18: WATCH_DOGS 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

0:23:54: Final Fantasy 15<\/strong><\/p>\n

0:27:05: Star Trek Bridge Crew<\/strong><\/p>\n

I keep getting this confused with Star Trek Bridge Commander<\/a>, which is a totally different game.<\/p>\n

0:30:30: Pokemon Go<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is the SuperBunnyHop video we mentioned, which talks about how Pokemon Go wasn’t something Nintendo planned. <\/p>\n
