“Feels kinda early to be calling time on the newest PlayStation console, yet here we are”

Could be worse. They could be the Warner Bros. cartoon sets, where on the back they explain how the older cartoons had some depictions of people which would be considered racist or offensive today (they were then, too btw) and these sets of Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry et al, are for the adult collector. A few even had…

No question about it; I want either a new or remade Rival Schools or better, Project Justice. Tech Romancer would be good, too.

Urgh, X-Blades. I got that on sale and felt ripped off. Didn’t care about the dress as much as I cared about how meandering the game was. It was just boring after a while and didn’t seem to go anywhere.

Agreed. I am just remembering when I first got online back in 1995 and had subscribed to the old Usenet group rec.arts.anime (later rec.arts.anime.misc) It was in the middle of a flame war over an English VA for the anime Ranma 1/2, specifically the character Shampoo.

What kind of human garbage threatens people, especially BABIES, over a fictional character? Just unbelievable.

Frankly, from what I saw back then, the so-called “culture war” against FPS games didn’t start in earnest until Quake. I recall watching a debate in Congress involving some politico holding up a boxed PC copy of Quake (which at the time cost around $50 at Electronics Boutique) while claiming a child walked in and…

“But the issue was especially bad for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, which both notoriously had shortage issues for over two years after their respective launches.”

Maybe the 2witch? Works on a couple of levels :)

“Doors is very much a child of breakthrough escape game The Room. (Not a licensed game based on the Tommy Wiseau film, tragically,”

Well, I guess it’s true that an old newspaper is still new if you haven’t read it....

Just speculating, but maybe it uses AI as a way to try and determine a game’s cheats, or find a way around a patch designed to remove exploits?

Except that, if by having a Nintendo Select means “devaluing” their own product, then they’ve been doing that since at least 1993. It doesn’t devalue their brand by having older games at a lower price, it just assures the game (and the Switch) get into more hands, translating into more sales. No company would turn…

While the Dreamcast couldn’t defeat the marketing juggernaut that was PS2 at the time, if Sega had more money at the time, enough to actually invest in the DC’s future, I think it could have made a decent showing against the Xbox and Game Cube. I mean, DC certainly was innovative with internet connectivity out of the…

The Sonic Heroes game just reminded me of a bit more open, 3D version of Knuckles: Chaotix for the 32x (yes, I did own those back in the day). But ultimately was not a fan of either.

Perhaps. But isn’t it a little absurd that we have to wait for a sale instead of Nintendo pricing them lower as a GH or Nintendo Selects (as they had done since the days of the Super NES)? As much as Nintendo has sold on their top-of-the-line games, I’m pretty sure pricing them as Nintendo Selects for $19 or $29.99…

Having been born in 1962 (among the last of the baby boomers) I like games like these (yes, I’ve played DOOM in nearly all its iterations), and don’t particularly mind the term “boomer shooter”.

I am 61 years old, and all I can say is this: This 13-year old made world-wide news with his accomplishment. It took this kid’s accomplishment to make you “famous” on a gaming site for five minutes with your inane and ignorant comment.

I already know how to repair many of the devices I own, and I can easily research those I do not. So ultimately, I’ll be long dead before I lose the ability to play physical media (not all that far, since I’m 61).

Yeah, figures. I went to a Best Buy for the first time in around 10 years a couple days before Christmas (was doing a video for my channel at Easton Town Center) and it was a bit of a shock to the system. When I used to regularly go to the same location in the 2000s there were rows and rows of DVDs and those…
