    Yes, the Vancouver studio primarily has put out FIFA and NHL. EA has said "that they are in discussions with Amy Hennig about her next move". Does not sound very good. Apparently the Visceral Star Wars game was a linear first player title and EA wants to move away from that.

    The single player game was the only one I looked forward to from EAs SW line-up...

    Sad times.

    Listend to some more news about Visceral and the Star Wars game shutdown. I had no idea the game wasn't scheduled to be released until the 4th quarter of 2019. I had no idea it was still that far out. Other thing I didn't know was that Visceral was always a part of EA just renamed on the lead up to the release of Dead Space.

    Really torn on whether to pick up Assassin's Creed or Mario tomorrow. Mario is absolutely going to be the better game, but I don't own a Switch, so that's 300 extra bucks to spend

    I would buy Mario since Assassin's Creed will be $40 in about a month while an if you want a little longer you can get it cheaper with DLC included.

    I played and finished Mario. All I can say that it was fantastic. The Switch’s new ”killer-app”!
    So much nostalgia and new ideas at the same, packed in one game!

    I was also looking forward to that game, but what upsets me more is that the closure of Visceral is the nail in the coffin for Dead Space. A series which I held very dear. ******** ea

    Ten hour trial of Battlefront 2 is up for EA Access/Origin members. Gotta say so far my favorite game mode is Starfighter Assault, love that it just isn't deathmatch anymore but actual objectives. I started the campaign but knowing I only have 10 hours to play stopped early on and went back to MP. Probably my biggest concern right now is that Walker Assault is not one of the game mode options but hoping it is just in the Galactic Assault rotation and just haven't come across it yet.

    Hey @teammellieIRANfan and all other Switch owners out there, question about buying the console. I don't intend to play all that much on it mostly for the marios, zeldas, and indie games I want to play in bed; is the 32gb enough storage or should I buy some extra memory right away?

    No, get the extra if you can. I've already downloaded a few games and intend to download more so having that extra memory is handy.

    gotcha thanks. Also if I hate the wiimotes I am not gonna like the joycons and should add a pro-controller to the list too, right?

    Yes, the pro controller is great to have. The Switch does come for this holder of sorts to put both joycon controllers into to make it like a regular controller. But go with the Pro Controller.

    Are any of you playing Doki Doki Literature Club? Maybe you should consider playing Doki Doki Literature Club. Because once you start playing Doki Doki Literature Club, you realize how important it is to play Doki Doki Literature Club. Like, really, really important. It will fill the Doki Doki Literature Club size hole that you never knew was cut out your heart.

    Is love inevitable?
    Is love possible?
    I don't know.
    Doki Doki Literature Club.

    I am really looking forward to diving in to PUBG tonight.

    Yup, PUBG is as fun as I thought it would be. Definitely has moments where it doesn't run the best but hot dang is it fun and I'm glad I can finally play it.

    I'm normally one who hates jump scares in my video games but in PUBG I love it.

    The idea of hunting the Predator with friends on Ghost Recon's map sounds awesome. Ubisoft has been on a role supporting their shooters this past couple of years.

    I get to much of a kick out of stealing another players car after they run in to a building. I will sometimes wait for them to come out of the house just so they can see me drive off. PUBG is fun. :)

    @General Disarray you get the newest GTA DLC? I am reading online a lot of people saying it seems so big that it was probably originally gonna be single player DLC.
