I just replaced my analog stick last night. What a world of difference! Only costs $10 to do so, but you need gentle hands and the right tools to pull it off. 

That can be true; perhaps getting the physical “Complete Edition” can be seen as the most valuable, though sometimes these versions of games will still come with a download code, thus requiring you to purchase new. I remember getting Mortal Kombat XL on PS4 many years ago (i.e, the “Complete Edition” of Mortal Kombat…

I question resale value of any game post Playstation 2 that required additional data or DLC to complete. Nowadays, you’re lucky to get maybe 70% of a full game on the disk. Does an incomplete game hold the same resale value as a game from the Playstation 2 era or earlier, which were 100% on the disk/cart? Plus with…

I have all my Steam games loaded at once - that’s about 4 TB, or 530 games. However, I have no need to update them all at once. And if I do want to play any of those non-updated games, they’ll get updated when I boot them next time. As you said, no big deal.

She's not on Twitch with her cleavage hanging out and pandering horny men for money, so yes 😊

I enjoyed this season. Everyone added except for Byleth was an iconic video game character that deserved to be memorialized. Byleth was a little too new, and I’d even make the same argument against Joker too. The second pass should focus on iconic characters associated with Nintendo, such as Ninja Gaiden’s Ryu…

I hope we get to see Ryu Hayabusa (NES version) in the next season. 

MLB The Show will also be on PC, possibly as early as next year. Crossing my fingers that the Trico games find their way to PC as well. 

It’s real only when you decide to retire and try to claim the funds.

Not just 2 hours of battery life, but 2 hours of battery life using SIX DOUBLE A NON RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.

Sure, if you find that important. Recouping the value of a game might be important if you shell out $60+ for it and you want to get something back in return. However, if you’re a smart shopper you wait a year or longer, prices tend to plummet. On the latest Steam sale for example, I just snagged over 20 games for $50,…

I understand what you’re getting at, but I see things a bit differently. A 100% complete, fully playable digital game with patches and all holds more value to me than a partially playable game on a disc. Not only do I have the complete experience, but I can make backups, I don’t have to depend on inserting a disc to…

Some you can, some you can’t. Otherwise sure, you can play a game with 70% of the content on it, bugs and all.

That same license exists when you download too. Some updates may be free, but may be withheld or added later as paid DLC.

But do physical copies matter when there’s maybe 70% of the full game on it? It’s vet rare to encounter a game that’s all on the disc, either because it can’t fit due space limitations or because publishers withhold it so they can sell the remainder as DLC. What happens when the eShop or PSN Store stop supporting a…

But do discs even matter when companies print maybe 70% of the full game on the disc anyway?

Pokebank is also "ending" next year, but will be replaced with Pokémon Home. No word on what compatability with which games yet, but Sword/Shield are a given.
