Breaking news: 2017 still refuses to calm the hell
down with this onslaught of game releases.
Setting aside the fact that there’s a new Zelda out an about -- as a herald to a new freaking console --
there have been multiple JRPGs, multiple action-adventure games, and multiple
open-world sandboxes. That’s putting it
mildly. That’s not even close to a
complete list. So, like, if ever there
was going to be a way to wipe humanity off the map, it wouldn’t be with something
like The Black Plague 2: Black Plague Harder.
It’d be with a bunch of video games.
And now, as of the start of June, the game
industry is doubling down with some brand new fighters. Well, you could argue that it’s quadrupling
down with a new version of Guilty Gear and
updates to Street Fighter V, but for
argument’s sake let’s keep it simple.
NetherRealm Studios dropped Injustice
2 a couple of weeks back, and now -- after a long wait -- Bandai Namco has
brought Tekken 7 to the west.
So I guess I’ve got to talk about both of
them. Or die trying.
…I might just die in general, though, because
THERE’S SO MANY GAMES OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, HOLY SHIT.
