I was fortunate in that I was able to get a brand new 8 GB Wii U for $250 back when GameStop was presumably trying to clear out their stock of Skylanders Wii U bundles in 2014.

I’ve been an Xbox One guy this generation too. I don’t have a PS4 or a PS4 Pro, but that doesn’t really bother me. My Xbox One has been giving me plenty of nice gaming experiences. I’ve played Halo 5, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Rise of the Tomb Raider, INSIDE, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Gears of War: Ultimate…

Nintendo has already killed the Wii U, so I don’t blame any developer for cancelling their Wii U plans. Gone are the days when I might have called out a developer like Slightly Mad for cancelling the Wii U version of a game.

The 3DS is in its twilight. It had a good run, but I welcome the Switch with open arms. I was playing my 3DS like crazy back in 2012 and 2013, but my playtime with it tapered off after that. These days, I rarely touch it.

I have a gaming PC and an Xbox One. As much as I like gaming on my PC, there’s something that just feels right about gaming on my Xbox One. Maybe it’s because I only started getting into PC gaming in earnest last year — I don’t know. But the interface, the achievements, the game discs... The Xbox One feels like home.

I haven’t started playing my copy of Final Fantasy XV yet, but I want to start playing it soon. The way I look at it is that I want to play chapter 13 the way the developers originally intended it to be. Maybe the revamp will be better. If it is, then I can experience that on my second playthrough. But I’d like my…

I get the impression from what we’ve seen so far that the Wii U can barely handle the game. Looks like the Switch version is going to be the way to play it.

This makes me want to play the game now so that I can experience the developers’ original vision.

Finally getting back into Rise of the Tomb Raider. I’ve been letting that one go for a long time. Over the holiday weekend, I got all of the DLC I was missing when the season pass for the Xbox One version of the game went on sale for only $6. So I now have the complete package, and I’m ready to explore it.

Yeah, I think it’s going to be a long time before we see a PC version. It took the developers a long time to develop the game for just the Xbox One, PS4, and PS4 Pro. PC porting is a whole other animal that will take some time. I suppose they may have another developer handle the PC port. But if they do it themselves,…

You might want to re-read my post. You and I are on the same page. Replace “than” with “that” and you’ll have what I actually said. I do realize what was promised. I’ve watched pretty extensive coverage of all the promised features that didn’t make it into the final game.

I respectfully disagree that this is what the game should have been at launch. There seems to quite a bit more that was promised (including players being able to see each other) that wasn’t mentioned in the story as being part of this update. If they keep working on the game in the coming months, maybe it’ll be what…

That feels like the right price. I’m not interested in buying it regardless; but if I were, I think $20 would be my limit.

But not a scalper price. Never a scalper price.

I generally associate the word “tween” with girls, so I’m going to go on that assumption. Assuming your tween is a girl, I think she might find Kino’s Journey really interesting. It’s about a young girl (I think she’s supposed to be 14 or 15 in the series) on a journey from one unique country to the next in a…

I’m cool with whatever Wii U games they want to port to the Switch. Mario Kart 8? Awesome. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U? Even better. And even though this obviously wouldn’t be a Nintendo port, there’s a rumor that Xenoblade Chronicles X will be coming to the Switch. I’m all for these games getting the kind of audience…

Xenoblade Chronicles X has very pretty environmental graphics despite having been developed for the under-powered Wii U.

Same here. I think a steady 30 fps feels just fine.

Digital Foundry noted that there are frame pacing issues, especially in the PS4 Pro version. I’m assuming the developers will bundle a fix for that in with the 60 fps PS4 Pro update, but who knows.

Yes, I was talking about the campaign. I actually haven’t yet tried the multiplayer. But I’m typically not that big into multiplayer anyway except in a select few games (like Mass Effect 3). I’ll give Titanfall 2's multiplayer a shot and see if I think it’s worth hanging onto the game after I’ve completed the campaign.
