There was a time in my life where I vociferously hated its fanbase and thought they were the most obnoxious kind of hipster around. That's long since passed, and I've mellowed out as I've gotten older, but I still don't like this game and still don't get why people act like it's some obscure hidden gem when it's been paraded around as "the best game you didn't play" by every gaming site for like 15 years straight and has gotten prime time advertising through Smash Bros. for even longer than that. I'm still not a huge Mother 3 fan, but I vastly prefer it over this. Much more interesting story, characters, setting, etc.

Got a Switch Lite! It made great first impressions on me, I really like how the buttons feel and click. I didn't buy any games yet so I'm downloading a bunch of demos.

@kristen-rogers I had a 10mb download for Outer Worlds but I want to install the full game before it releases. I'll see if it works closer to launch.

@e_zed_eh_intern said in Gaming Unpopular opinion thread: @ezekiel agreed on Spiderman. I enjoyed it but there's not much freedom with how you can move on the ground. GTA I'm not so sure about. Especially with GTA online and director mode. What would make it more sandbox? Actual building? Like Minecraft and the like? Just trying to get your perspective on it. I never played director mode and didn't enjoy GTA Online. More open missions would be nice in the single player. Having more options in those missions and not being so restricted. Also would be nice if there was more stuff to do from the get-go. A couple of months ago, I watched a good YouTube commentary about Rockstar's outdated game design. Let me see if I can find it... Here it is: Youtube Video

@axel said in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order: It's funny that elements like the metroidvania structure or the souls-like combat were revealed months ago by Game Informer but the internet collectively chose to ignore it (or not trust it) because "EA bad" or "game journalism bad". Can't say I blame people on the Internet with all the shit EA has pulled. I do have high interests in Fallen Order, but I trust only Respawn, not EA. "Journalism", I could not give a shit. Plus, you already know my feelings on the matter.

Watched a new movie for once, A Quiet Place. That TrueHD Atmos track was amazing. I don't even have four elevated speakers. Just two above the TV. But still! I've never seen a horror movie with height channels. Perfect application for it. The movie itself I found pretty good. Just not great. Didn't have high expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

That’s actually a pretty awesome letter they wrote. Here’s the thing, somebody needs to make a case against companies who won’t stand up to China. People, especially Americans, hate when the government tells them what they can and can’t do, but in this case, at least they are using their power for good. Blizzard’s statement about “not distracting from the event” was such complete bullshit. Ben Moore made a good comparison that I’ll paraphrase: “what if pro Smash player SonicFox said something about the rights of queer people?” Would Nintendo ban them? Recently F1 great Lewis Hamilton just tweeted about how he feels hopeless and disappointed that nobody seems to want to help climate change. People criticized what he wrote but F1 didn’t strip him of his championship and wins. I don’t know where Blizzard gets off punishing somebody tastefully speaking their opinion about China and Honk Kong let alone pretending that it isn’t about their Chinese business. It’s gross. At least somebody with authority at Congress is saying something.

Genesis - Mommy & Daddy, got it off ebay when we found a random genesis game in some backpack at a garage sale. Only game I ever had for it worth a damn was Sonic 2. Eventually Paid in Full a new one a few years ago Game Boy Color - Mommy & Daddy, christmas gift (I think, been way too long) PS2 - Mommy & Daddy first two we burned through since one died and the other had its CD reader eat shit, Paid in Full the last one that's still kicking Game Boy Advance - Mommy & Daddy, again christmas gift. Getting it and Pokemon Sapphire back in '03 was probably my best christmas growing up. DS - Mommy & Daddy. Don't remember what made them wanna get that for my siblings and I at the time but hey I wasn't complaining. Gamecube - Scrounging for Pennies. Didn't really cost much since this was well after the Wii came out but this was long before I had a job so you know. Wii - Paid in Full. Got it because I really wanted to play Skyward Sword. Not sure why, I never cared about Zelda much before or afterwards and I didn't even like that game that much. Vita - Scrounging for Pennies, didn't really have a lot of money at the time but damn dude I really wanted to play Gravity Rush and P4G. Eventually sold it but got a Vita TV later. Xbox 360 - Paid in Full. Only got it because my brother moved out with his PS3. Eventually sold it to get my own PS3 (so I guess that'd be Paid in Full as well) 3DS, Wii U, Dreamcast, Saturn, PS4, Xbox, Switch, N64 - Paid in Full. No real story to these I just bought them over the years.

I would go with Metal Slug. Though Contra: Hard Corps might be my favorite from both series, the Metal Slug series quality is just far more consistent than Contra's.

I've never bought an emulation device before but I will buy this and the dock. It seems like such a convenient way to play all these old handheld games.

@shoulderguy

@sheria Pretty much nothing at the store had anything other than HDMI ports. Plus the newest Sony models aren’t rating at high in the game department as Samsung so I went with them this time around. Those QLEDs are awesome for video games

@dmcmaster Wonder if that's why she left Tango

Let's Play Shadowgate episode 2! Expect musings on which items are pointless, finding a very trusty shield, stealing treasure from dragons and tombs, meeting two kinds of spectral creatures, and getting an amazingly sincere description of a broom. Youtube Video
