I feel like I'm obligated to pick Golden Deer as my first house if only for the memes.
Golden Deer has the best final map music that is exclusive to it so all the other routes miss out on the best track in the game.

Right now there is no canon route because the "canon" route will be the last wave of DLC. Of that there is no doubt in my mind.

There are routes I suppose that innately seem less canon then others, namely any of them that don't involve the players going to
Shambhala to deal with Those Who Slither in the Dark. Golden Deer in particular gets to fight Nemesis on top of that, which is unique to them. Although strangely in the post-story bit with Claude, it's implied that they still exist, and attack again so mightily that Fodlan alone is not enough to stand against them, and only through the help of Almyra do they triumph. Kinda weird because I don't believe they were required in the Black Eagle Edelgard route where you don't even fight them in-game, but I guess they wanted to give significance to the whole border and foreign country ambition for Claude.

And woah, what happened to Matt? Things are heating up already.
Spoilers for Netfilx's Defenders:
Outside of the previous two seasons, all the outside context you reall need to know for season 3 is that Matt suffered severe injuries after losing Elektra and finally taking down the Hand for good by detonating their base of operations.

He does indeed lose Elektra, from what it seems. I'm also excited to see that Kingpin is back in the spotlight. He's a GREAT villain and really makes the show special. He might be my favorite character on the show as well because of how complicated and interesting his character is.

Did you not watch Defenders? If so, 1. Good for you cause that show sucked.
2. Something very plot relevant happens to Matt at the end of the show.

There's an implication that Elektra died during a fight due to an explosion when taking down the Hand. It was implied that Matt and Elektra fought the hand successfully, but not without the cost of Elektra. However, there is still a little disconnect there due to only getting a few seconds of footage early in the season so far.

I'm looking forward to the end of the show as well. And, I'm glad I'm loving season 3 so far. I was personally someone that took a while to warm up to season 2, but I'm head over heels for season 3 already. It feels like it's returning to the brilliance it had in season 1.

Everything about Golden Deer is perfect, its music, its character, Its Claude
My only disappointment with Claude is that he is too
good. Like, compared to the other two leaders, there's just no major fault with him. The others have big issues. Haven't gone through Blue Lions yet but clearly Dimitri snaps at some point. Granted this is also a positive, but the theory that he is secretly a mastermind, "scheming" to have the Kingdom and Alliance fight would've been pretty mind-blowing. But instead we just get a really chill guy that doesn't want people to fight and die. Which is great, and refreshing in a way given how things go with the other two.

Oh and for a guy who says he has "schemes" every other sentence, the man barely actually does anything like that in the story. The man is full of ****. :laugh:

Tossed together an ideal PlayStation All-Stars 2 roster from a world where copyright doesn’t exist.

9B7B30EB-4D9C-4D28-9473-AB2789E55FB5.png


I haven’t actually played many of these games, and know next to nothing about a handful of them, but I did some research on what are considered the standout games of each generation of PlayStation, as well as just who people would like to see in a PSASBR sequel.

Yes, I know a lot of these characters are multi platform now, but if they got their start on PlayStation and are heavily associated with the brand, they’re a PS classic in my eyes.

Each row is a different console, and the characters in each row are organized by release date, making the CSS itself a celebration of PlayStation history.

I personally think I did a good job with it, and assuming more refined and unique gameplay, I’d definitely play the hell out of this.

Already have some ideas for DLC, and if anyone has some suggestions let me know.

Not bad at all, there’s quite a few choices that I wish I included. Here’s what I had in mind for a potential sequel:
A number of things I want to see in a potential sequel
-A bigger roster that has some more recognizable faces as well as bring back a few dead or obscure ones
-more streamlined combat system that is less all over the place and make sense with the directions needed to perform them, making the attacks easier to learn multiple characters and lowering the barrier of entry for new players.
-allow for more options to kill opponents other than Supers (thus making the rival fights much less of a drag)
-more varied stage layouts (invasions can stay)

I’m sure there’s a few more but these were the big changes I had in mind

Yeah that is pretty weird.

Ever since we got Joker, I’ve been saying that if we get Crash we’d be able to have a full match of PlayStation All-Stars.

Solid Snake vs. Cloud Strife vs. Joker from Persona 5 vs. Crash Bandicoot, on a Nintendo system.

If Ultimate got Crash, any hope of a PSASBR sequel being successful would be gone.

Pretty good. Although i’d Want the roster to at least match Smash 4. If not Ultimate. PlayStation has a lot of catching up to do.

Yeah, Kratos and Nathan Drake are amazing in Ultimate. They should definitely buff Sackboy though. Ratchet and Clank basically completely shut them down.

Ok Daredevil season 3 is amazing so far. I'm liking it even more than season 1, actually. The stakes are higher and the writing and stories feel more in-depth, ingenious, and entertaining.

Really well done roster. Every time I think about PSABR I think about the wasted potential of what could've been a popular new series. It's unlikely that Sony will return to the idea of a Playstation crossover anytime soon, but you never know.

There are certain reasons as to why I personally see Black Eagles route canon, as there is information provided in that route that explains things that aren’t explained in the others, and there are particular story things that make me believe so.

At the very least, there’s no way in my mind that the Church route is canon.

Basically:
1) Jeralt tells you not to trust Rhea. Considering the connection Byleth evidently has with him, siding with her goes directly against his wishes, which is weird.

2) The game itself makes it clear that Rhea has a darker, manipulative side simply by sending troops after non-believers in order to eliminate them and to “set an example” for the students to show them to “never challenge the church”.

3) Edelgard is the only main lord to have the Crest of Flames. Only Byleth and Nemesis also have it.

4) This route is frankly the only one that actually deals with the issue of the over powered Church in a significant way. Sure, Byleth becomes Archbishop in other routes, but the church still maintains control over the entire continent, which does not solve the issue of people not being able to make decisions for themselves.

5) At the end of the Black Eagles route, the Crest of Flames that prevents Byleth’s heart from beating is destroyed, meaning he can actually live a normal life, and he isn’t tied to Sothis anymore. Otherwise, to my knowledge, it remains where it is.

6) What some folks don’t get about Edelgard is that not only is she not actually evil (I don’t get that), but if she doesn’t start the war, nothing would actually change in Fodlan. It is because of Edelgard that anything happens in the first place. It’s not as if she doesn’t realize the sacrifice of all of the lives lost, “when you kill units with her she says, “You did not die in vain!”. She cries after killing Dimitri. She didn’t want to, but knew she had to.

He is blinded by anger in the BE route, but doesn’t realize he doesn’t have the full picture. Not to mention, Dimitri is referred to as a “monster” or “beast” in all routes if I am correct.

Granted, the outcome of all routes is overall decided by the impact of Byleth. So without Byleth, Edelgard turns to the dark side, without a doubt.

7) Back to the church, but Rhea basically starts grooming you to carry on her position since your birth. She’s manipulative. As it serves her interests (and the fact that Seteth and Flayn are also likely hundreds of years old), she wants you to side with her and not serve the best interest if the people...something Rhea appears to not care about.
I’m not really an expert on it, but the Edelgard route, despite there not being a “canon” route officially, feels like the route to me.

If I play another route, it will absolutely be Golden Deer. Then Blue Lions.

It’s not like Crash being in one prevents him from being in another. The reason the first one had Raiden and not Snake was because Konami wanted to promote Rising.
I’m fairly certain as long as Ultimate is on the shelves, any character that appears as a guest would be contractually obligated to not appear in games of a similar nature.

Playstation All-Stars had some good Playstation all-stars. It's just that comparing Nintendo's all-stars to Playstation's is like comparing BotW to a CDi Zelda game. Clearly one has the superior, more iconic cast of characters.

Right?! Almost everything about this season exudes awesomeness, from the tension, the character dynamics, the characters themselves (Dex, Nadeem, Fisk), to the godly fight choreography. Hands down one of the best seasons in Marvel's TV corner. You're gonna love the end. It really goes out with a bang.

I doubt it. Smash clones don’t really get regularly made. Why would they take that precaution. And if it was broad enough to include fighting games in general, then Street Fighter characters couldn’t be in Smash at all.

I've been breezing through the episodes. I just started season 3 today and I've finished the first five episodes. Got ep 6-13 left.

Honestly I'm so glad they added Lucario. Having only :ultpikachu::ultpichu: and :ultjigglypuff: for Pokémon, of all properties, sucked.
