The 'which best known fighting game characters should be on Mount Rushmore' debate (which is still going) has a strong link to the other recent debate of 'the state of fighting games.'

This is a very action- adventure heavy #StateofPlay, but not in a generic clone way. I'm enjoying this very much with the variety.

Nice to see the rest of the Legacy of Kain franchise back as well. And by rest, even the one we never got.

So it's a big boy #StateofPlay tonight is it? PPV timings?
Everyone has their game announcement hopes. I just wanna see that current year has been covered in case of (inevitable) delays.
(Well... a new date for DW3 would be nice)

He's been in the company less than ONE MONTH and we've had two Takeover level matches for that TNT title.
Talk about breathing life into the division. Everyone talks about the world title picture, but Ciampa's done wonders here. #AEWDynamite

Seeing as I've been catching up with wrestling in Japan all day, I might as well check out the wrestling in Canada.
Why not throw some Mexican or British in there and make it a proper jaunt? Straps for everyone!

So both 2XKO and Highguard have.... unique marketing processes, have people pulling them about (out of their control, this isn't their own fault).
They release F2P, & they're now both being gutted?
It's not genre specific trying to fit these games into crowded spaces...

Yes, I'm enough of a Musou nutter to rebuy each of the Orochi games in their alt ports. One from Bristol, one from Cov, one from Cheshire, even Wo Long in Brum.
And with Warrior Abyss still getting updates, I'm gonna be busy at least until the DW3 Remaster readies a new date...
