What's more confusing is that its not always clear if they even know what they want to count as canon or not

I'm curious what you mean by that, because I haven't seen anything of the sort.

Rewatched all the cutscenes for 358/2 Days. Did it before Chain of Memories because it unlocks some cards needed for trophies in that game. All that Xion stuff makes a lot more sense when you already know her true purpose ahead of time.

If you buy/borrow the PS3 versions you can get trophies for the movies. No platinums though. All you have to do is watch the movies and read the journals.

Also even if you don't care about DQ11 but do care about Smash, there's going to be a spirit added that unlocks via save data from either the demo or full game.

But what kind of monster doesn't care about DQ11?

It's flawed (games can be bundled with systems and the person may not want it, so they bring it fresh from the box still sealed)

That Xur trophy used to require winning a match of Trials of the Nine, an endgame-level PVP mode that made you bring a full team, and meeting with a different mysterious character entirely who you could only access after getting that win. Trials got removed with the release of Forsaken and a few months ago they changed the trophy to just require meeting Xur.

I think GAMESTOP are the ones that keep the boxes

I got a Player's Choice box for Luigi's Mansion when I got it, Four Swords Adventures, and FF6Advance last year.

Completed public event
Complete flash point

Oh hey Ill be starting this on PS4 this week. Ive been playing it on Xbone since it came out but with cross-save hitting Wednesday Im going to move to the console I use more often.

Curious to see how the trophy unlocks handle my current progress. IIRC back in D1 anything you unlocked on PS3/360 would automatically unlock on PS4/Xbone (and vice-versa; saves were shared automatically) so I assume itll work that way here.

They did this with Splatoon 2 a few months ago.

I think that was back in March. They also did it even more recently with Mario Tennis Aces, or at least I already had a "Special Online Demo" installed on my Switch that I never played that I downloaded some time between then and now.

Not sure if that differs any from what they're letting people play for free now.

Special Demo was just that, a demo that only let you access a handful of characters/modes. Right now is the full game.

Aside from archival sake, is there any reason to get this version if you already have the Disney Afternoon Collection?

This one has completely redone graphics and music (with an unlockable option to use the original music), voice acting from much of the original cast, a new intro level, and control options (specifically I know you can choose whether to keep the original pogo controls or an easier option). Not sure if the original had difficulty options but this one does.

I'm sure the one or two other Destiny players here care!

Bungie
Being independent means that the future of Destiny 2 is entirely on our team. It also means that were agile enough to choose to do what's best for the game and our players, even if it's the hard choice.

We wanted to let youour Communityknow first that we're changing the date for Shadowkeep and New Light from September 17 to October 1.

This Fall is the first step on a journey for what our team wants Destiny 2 to become - a place for you and your friends to play anytime, anywhere; owning the action MMO and RPG elements that we love about the game; and crushing barriers to entry for friends. We just need a bit of extra time to take the first step.

We didn't make this decision lightly. We know for some of you (us too), Destiny releases are events where you take time off of work or develop a sudden sickness that keeps you from school or work (we get it, a bunch of our team takes some time off to go on their own Destiny Jacket Quest). We're sorry for screwing up your plans and we wanted to share this information as quickly as we could.


Also cross-save is going to launch later this month so if I can scrape up for Forsaken early I can get started getting used to the PS4 controller for this game while working toward Moments of Triumph (which is getting extended to the previous Shadowkeep date, September 17).

So is Hard like, really hard or "if you've played FE games before, choose this"?

haven't started it myself but reviews, etc. so far have indicated the latter
(also you can switch from Hard to Normal during the game but not from Normal to Hard apparently?)

Dropping but not raising the difficulty mid-playthrough is something FEs done in the past too, makes sense theyd keep it that way.

Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter were actually produced in some way by Feige and the Jarvis from Agent Carter actually showed up in Endgame and yeah Sif did show up in Agents of SHIELD so those shows were a little better off than the Netflix stuff. i don't mind their existence as much but it would have been nice if they sprung for getting Cap or Thor to walk on even once.

Again I know how expensive it would be do to that but it would have been worth it. would have definitely gotten more people interested. if you're gonna do the expanded universe you gotta commit to making it feel whole and not just a cash-grab spinoff.

They did have Samuel L. Fury a couple times in season 1. Id forgotten about it until watching some early stuff tonight after reading the announcements.

Yeah the name dropping was infuriating for me and made the shows borderline unwatchable-- Agents of SHIELD was the worst to me with that though I heard it at least had something resembling direct MCU interaction at one point. But yeah it made em all seem really low rent.

Sif showed up a couple times and it included the Kree before the movies got around to them, I remember that much.

Also the fact that Winter Soldier was coming kept them from being able to kick their main plot for season 1 into gear until pretty late.

Wikipedia
In July 2010, Cameron confirmed that there would be an extended theatrical re-release of the film on August 27, 2010, exclusively in 3D theaters and IMAX 3D.[278] Avatar: Special Edition includes an additional nine minutes of footage, all of which is CG,[279] including an extension of the sex scene[280] and various other scenes that were cut from the original theatrical film.[279] This extended re-release resulted in the film's run time approaching the current IMAX platter maximum of 170 minutes, thereby leaving less time for the end credits. Cameron stated that the nine minutes of added scenes cost more than $1 million a minute to produce and finish.[4] During its 12-week re-release, Avatar: Special Edition grossed an additional $10.74 million in North America and $22.46 million overseas for a worldwide total of $33.2 million.[5]

So it wasnt a big part of the final total but it did count.

Its similar to the situation with Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter, etc. The shows referenced the movies but it never went the other way. So whether they were canon or not didnt really matter because the movies never acknowledged or contradicted them.
