The full trailer for the Arbiter from Halo was released a few days ago, and he looks freakin' badass as you'd expect! The stage, though. That was arguably just as much the star of the show as the character himself. I love how Banshees fly around all over the place and close to the fighters while the battle is going on. As most fans predicted, Tusk was teased for Season 3 and from the looks of things he hasn't changed that much. He's still a beefy, ginormous, Conan-esque blondie with a huge sword. A simple character design who has always been at home in the Killer Instinct universe and just had to return at some point! It will be interesting to see how his story will be altered to fit into the new continuity like all of the other prehistoric fighters from the second game had theirs changed to make them from the contemporary setting. Maybe it might not be altered at all, who knows?

However, since all of the Killer Instinct playable veterans have been announced for return, it begs the question of who else could be included in Season 3? Gargos almost certainly will appear in some form, but I'm definitely more excited at the prospect of more guest characters showing up. Some completely new characters could be added too, but I feel that Season 2 was very much the home of all the crazy creative newcomers after Season 1 cashed in on the nostalgia factor. While Season 3 may seem to be confined to including only Microsoft and Rare owned characters at the minute, I think that they're gonna go nuts with the character choices eventually like other devs same have with MKX and Smash Bros (I mean, Rash from Battletoads and the Arbiter are already pretty random choices, don't ya think?).

Also, have any of you guys heard of the game #IDARB? It's basically this basketball/football/platformer hybrid that features a shit-tonne of famous characters (granted, the characters in the game have no animations but I guess that's meant to be part of the charm or something). The game itself is really damn fun. It's similar to the head-to-head modes in BattleBlock Theater (which is frankly a godlike game).

Lol.

Being that it's more a pirate game and less a Assassin's Creed game... yeah ship battles are kind of the point of it. Not a huge fan of it myself, but it isn't the worst part of the franchise.

Bastion was pretty great. Beautiful soundtrack. Now, I'm really looking forward to Transistor. Same with Wolfenstein: The Old Blood after playing The New Order.

Far Cry Primal has surprised me and is probably the best Far Cry game thus far.

The small selection of weaponry fits perfectly into the setting and you never feel like they've added some just to fill out some random quota of how many different types of the same gun should be in the game.

The world itself is filled with animals and plant life as is expected of the setting, and the animal taming feels appropriate, taming the apex predators to give you an advantage over your enemies.

The two different groups of enemies are distinct enough from each other that it doesn't just feel like you're killing random guy with spear 7.

And finally the storyline is interesting enough to make you want to explore the quests rather than having them be a chore you need to do in order to get better equipment.

If you didn't really like Black flag, you probably won't really like Fredom cry or Rogue either, since it's basically more of the same.
And I'd generally suggest avoiding Unity like a syphilis ridden whore, even now after several patches it's still a glitch ridden piece of shit.
Syndicate on the other hand though is awesome.

I saw a picture of Q in Street Fighter V on my Twitter feed. My eyebrow lifts slightly in surprise. Turns out to be a mod.

I move on with my life immediately.
