The author states the rankings are based on dollar sales rather than unit sales so pack-ins should be considered free and not impact these lists.

The lists are supposedly based on dollar sales rather than unit sales so that triple pack wouldn’t count as it was free. I guess Sega chose three games it didn’t expect to sell many more of since most everyone that wanted them must have bought them by then. Those came with my Saturn as well since I waited to get one…

Maybe I should add I played 80 hours and according to the trophies haven’t been to every sub-region in Greece. I also have over 2o incomplete quests in my mission log and there are always more on the boards in each town. However, at the very least I think the game just keeps generating generic contracts on a regular…

You might want to never start Odyssey :) I think I like Origins more but Odyssey seems to have far more content to the point where I don’t plan on unveiling every question mark on the map. I got the Origins platinum trophy and that wasn’t too tough to do, and I have finished the primary story for Odyssey (I think;…

So you could interact with her again even after she decided to walk? I offered her a ride but had to whistle for my horse which stopped short of reaching me and she said forget about it. After that I couldn’t talk to her any longer, even with my horse next to her. I followed her a bit before walking away to hunt but I…

Some other games releasing at retail 10/9 (not sure if you skip games already available digitally): Cat Quest (Switch), Punch Line (PS4, Vita), and Air Missions: Hind (PS4). And on 10/16: NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 (Xbox One, PS4, PC digitally; Switch version is in November), Rapala Fishing: Pro Series (Switch), Candle:…

Yes, I realize the money can be refunded easier but I still thought it relevant to the article. The author has a paragraph about where the digital season pass can still be purchased so I was informing them about the retail version as well.

The retail season pass disc can still be pre-ordered:

God Eater 3 was announced last year for the U.S.; I’d guess earlier for Japan but I don’t know much about the series. Here’s the opening of that press release:

This is nothing new for Microsoft as just about every one of its titles has had an early release Ultimate Edition for the past couple years: Forza Motorsport 7, Forza Horizon 3, Gears of War 4, State of Decay 2, and Halo Wars 2. I don’t know if it’s good or bad but you do get digital content so the extra cost isn’t…

There is a sentence below the photo that indicates where you can submit a photo (just email the author): “JPGs is a photo peek into wherever gamers might find interesting. If you’re a photographer and have images you want to share, drop us a line! “

Not sure if you’ll get a reply and I can’t really answer since I’ve never been to Japan but I want to go so I keep notes and save relevant links in case I ever do get to go.

Yeah, I did experience that as well but I had my figures stored in individual plastic baggies (to avoid losing the accessories) so at least the parts were kept together. Fortunately, those are easy to replace too. Well, easy to acquire the bands but sometimes it is frustrating when trying to keep the arms and head in…

I’ve found a lot of my old toys from the ‘80s have been damaged, likely from heat. Most sat in boxes for the past 20 years and I lived in Arizona for nine years (sometimes the boxes were in a garage or storage unit) but I started going through them last year. Some action figures, like Star Wars, have a sticky feeling…

It’s Bandai Namco, not Namco Bandai! How can you mess that up, the company has only changed the name a few times, it’s not confusing at all :) I’m kidding of course, it can be a pain to keep them straight. Since that merger the North American publishing division has been Namco Bandai Games America, Bandai Namco Games…

I watched a lot of cartoons in the ‘80s but do not remember Dinosaucers so I had to look it up and came across news about a comic book revival. It doesn’t look like the comic book is out yet and I don’t know if it’s still planned but the original news is from October 2017.

He has a few video game greatest hits CDs from the ‘90s too. The tracks on the first volume are mostly for The Terminator and RoboCop vs. The Terminator, with a couple from Global Gladiators (one of which was apparently also used in Cool Spot). There is a second volume not restricted to Virgin Games that has a bunch…

Judgment Day co-hosted by Victor Lucas. Here is a photo I took of them filming at E3 2003.

I don’t think it has actual arcade games, maybe UFO catchers. The most recent one, Yakuza 6, actually has Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown in the game, plus it can be accessed from the main menu and played with a friend. In Shenmue you can play a couple games outside of the arcade as the protagonist has a Saturn at his…

Is Turn 10 involved with the Horizon series? Playground Games is the developer, though I’d assume it’s Microsoft that controls what is DLC. There’s often day one content in big games as a way to convince people to buy games at launch rather than wait for them to be discounted.
