RPGCast – Episode 465: “Pinch Britting”
E3 had a bit of something for everyone. From Pokémon walking simulators to dragons who fetch bacon. But the true star of the show was you all along. Assuming you know how to queue properly, that is.

The only three things I unreservedly loved at E3: Cosmic Star Heroine Switch, Yakuza on PC, and I can play Donkey Kong like Billy Mitchell, with an emulator and the Cement Factory.
Enjoyed the marathon episode with all of your thoughts on this year’s E3. Highlights for me included the new Octopath Traveler demo announcement, Golf Story and Cosmic Star Heroine getting physical Switch versions as well as the Fire Emblem These Houses trailer.
What impressed me most about the FE trailer were the numerous similarities to the Tellius games. Looking forward to Spring 2019.
I don’t own a Switch yet. I am waiting for a price drop to $250. Octopath Traveler looks great. It’s like a sequel to Live a Live (SNES) or Saga Frontier (PlayStation) with all its characters with their own stories.
KH3 looked the best. Probably because I’m distracted by the shiny. The gameplay looks the same old but I am definitely willing to pay for more levels and better graphics with the same gameplay. And a new original story, of course.
It seems like nothing is coming in terms of RPGs for 2019. And this year has been ludicrous.
I like that we ALMOST got a new Tenchu but got Sekiro. Sekiro has turned into a harder Bloodborne/Dark Souls (so they claim). Ghost looks like Bushido Blade meets Dynasty Warriors. And Bungie hasn’t learned anything.
