    Not touching this game with a barge pole until I read ending spoilers.

    Death flags all over the kid and frankly, I’m not putting in the time to get steamrolled like that. If I learn she definitively does not die at the end, or can be saved, I may play it. But Crapcom makes some stupid ass control decisions, and if the game’s not comfortable to play, I can’t be arsed.

    Another thing that’s just fuckin weird about the trailers… the guy is a human, but you never see his face. He’s always in the robot suit. The little girl, however, is a robot, but you never see her do robot things. Like she doesn’t pull her arm off and put an attachment on or disconnect her head so you can carry “her” more easily through a tough spot… I’m sensing a twist here. I think the whole point of her (why this guy trying to survive is hauling someone else’s child around) is that she’s the magic system, she gives him access to powers (hacking, I guess, but hacking was the magic system of Cyberpunk 2077, Deus Ex, and others, so it’s fine), but he seems to be the robot between them.

    At the same time I want all those preorder bonuses because all of her DLC outfits look better than whatever that thing is she has in the trailer (makes me think of the kid from Final Fantasy 9).

    Also thought this was PS5 exclusive for some reason. That it’s gonna run on Switch 2 gives me hope. Maybe they’ll do a Mac release at some point (the newer Macs are more powerful than the Switch 2, and cost about the same — I’d say Switch 2 is somewhere around M2 Pro or M3, and they’re up to M5 now).
