This week on The Save Room: It's the Tale of Two Fandoms! In one corner, we have The Final Smash Direct and in the other we have Blizzcon 2018. Both events were incredibly hyped up in fans' minds and built on misplaced expectations from these respective fan bases. Fan outcry broke over Nintendo and Sakurai's exclusion of characters from the final Super Smash Bros ultimate and lost their minds when a piranha plant made into it the final roster over a bear and his bird. And at Blizzcon this past weekend, Blizzard fans openly bashed the developer when they decided to close their annual event with their new mobile game, Diablo Immortal, instead of announcing Diablo 4--a game they said they had no intention of announcing just yet. Our deep-dive discussion hits hard on entitlement and how regardless of what you want from a game, it's not okay to attack anyone when you don't get what you want.
We also take you on a journey across the wastelands of West Virginia with Kevin's Fallout 76 impressions, break down the Playstation Classic, talk about how we're totally here for Brie Larson as Samus Aran in a Metroid movie, and give you our full impressions on Rockstar Games' newest endeavor, Red Dead Redemption 2. Unlike the opening hours of RDR2, this episode is anything but a slow-burn.
As always, thanks for tuning in and giving us your support. You guys are the best Save Roommates we could ask for.
