When the first MI game came out I was anticipating getting a PC and had already started getting a few games for it when I decided what I really wanted was a Mac. I switched tracks and started getting Mac games (yes, there actually were some, even then!), eventually building a pretty substantial library of games before…

Nope. I mean, I’d like to, but it’s just never worked out for me, usually for financial reasons. My first console was an Atari 2600 (actually an Atari VCS - it launched in ‘77 as the Video Computer System, and was only renamed the 2600 in ‘82). I bought it with the money from my first “real” job in the summer of ‘82…

I have noticed that one! I was considering it, too, actually.

Space combat flight sims (both Star Wars and otherwise) are one of the game genres I most wish had stuck around more than they did, but now they’re something I can think of having a particular “golden age” historical era, like how we think of movie westerns coming largely from the ‘50s and ‘60s (or earlier). I…

I’m tickled to see one of Kotaku’s writers fondly remembers Indiana Jones and His Desktop Adventures.

I usually wait for titles to go on sale after they’ve been out a while, but I preordered Star Wars: Squadrons. I’ve wanted this one very badly for a while.

They might have had high manufacturing costs, but big titles now have higher development costs, and either way the costs have to be recouped.

Ash also talks about “never simultaneously playing all four or five games” that will fill up one of these things, and while that’s technically true for me as well (i.e., I’m not literally playing two or more games at the exact same time), I do tend to flit back and forth from one game to another. Just in the last few…

Ooh, a PS+ & PSNow bundle deal would be nice indeed. Great idea, Remytron.

I remember admiring his pre-Halo work for Bungie, back in the days of Marathon and Myth. I’d love some prints or posters of his stuff.

FWIW, I was in my 40s when I got my PSP, and I loved it. I’d still be playing it if I hadn’t gotten a glass of milk dumped on it that messed up the screen. I’ve been meaning to replace it, since I still have all the games, after all.

Yeah, my wife and I have dabbled in co-op or competition in a handful of games (each of us logged in on our own PSN accounts with our own controllers), but even when doing something in a game that gets one of us a trophy (finishing the first co-op level in Lode Runner Legacy, for example), it would give the trophy to…

I suspect most of the platinum trophies I will ever earn will likely come from LEGO games for those very reasons, along with my just being a huge LEGO dork. My first will probably be from LEGO Dimensions, sometime in the near future.

The thing about only one person getting a trophy for accomplishments made by two people together grates a bit. I did things in a couple games with my wife while each of us was logged in as ourselves, but only the one whose account the system was logged in with got the credit. That’s something I’d like to see done…

I don’t have any Platinums yet, but then I’ve had my PS4 only since November of last year, and the only system I had in the PlayStation ecosystem before that was the PSP, which didn’t have trophies.

I’d be completely fine with a delay, but then of course I’ve only had my PS4 less than a year.

I was one of those kids who usually took pretty good care of his toys, to the point I even kept many of the boxes from my Star Wars toys (though I would cut out those circular blue-and-white proof-of-purchase symbols for Kenner’s various mail-in offers, rebates, etc.). However, around the mid-‘80s, as I was…

I’d love a PS Vita. I still could use an actual PSP, though, for the several titles I have on UMD, a few of which weren’t offered as downloads. I’m also under the impression that while most of all “regular” downloadable PSP releases (ones that also had physical releases) work on the Vita, apparently PSP Minis don’t…

I prefer physical, but I’ve always had a little asterisk by that to acknowledge the environmental factors which I admit do weigh on me. Moreover, the current pandemic situation has had me rethinking my preference for physical copies - or certainly, shopping for them in brick-and-mortar stores, at the very least.…

Oh! Well, then... yeah. I know there are still folks around who follow Star Wars movies but not the shows, so you wouldn’t be the only one in your position when Solo opened, but there was a lot of talk here and elsewhere along the lines of “About that Solo cameo... spoilers after the jump”, and I imagine many Solo…
