@nessisonett Lol was going to mention those exact Pokemon, too. I remember going to a music festival and they had a pop up Pokemon event there. I got to battle in a little card tournament and take my picture with an AR Alomomola. Then in came someone in a giant Vanilluxe costume and someone else in a giant Mudkip costume and they asked what I thought of the newer designs like Vanilluxe compared to Mudkip. I tried to be nice, but I basically told them it doesn't really feel like a cute pocket monster anymore and more like a pre-teens drawing of their favourite food. It just doesn't bother me as much as some people so never really mention it unless asked.
@Royalblues I'd say the Crash Nitro Kart was always a little more fun than Double Dash which released at the same sort of time. I still like CTR NF a little more than MK8 Deluxe as well. They're both enjoyable but CTR NF is the one I play solo where as Mario Kart I only play multiplayer. I only ever had All Stars Racing Transformed on the Wii U and tbh it was pretty poor and felt kind of sluggish on that system. Couldn't tell you about Sonic, but I'll look into getting it as I've pretty pretty much finished Nitro Kart (except dev times but that's for masochists lol).
@nomither6 Nitro Kart was fantastic on the ps2. They did fail to remake the tracks with the magnet wheel mechanics in the Nitro Fueled tracks but I'm not sure on what changes you are referring to, mechanically it's pretty much identical and everything just got a good face lift.
@nomither6 But it still has everything that the OG CTR has and more. It's a shame the net code or whatever is bad but I got in loads of games back in the day. Some of them just failed to start or even had my green light go 10 seconds after everyone elses lol The new tracks were really good as well.
@Perturbator Was going to say this! Got Touring Karts VR for now, which had a cool idea of item combining. It feels a little unpolished but is fun enough.
Have a few hacked handhelds and a Nintendo Wii but they all had way more potential. I feel like my ps4 already has everything, dvd/blu ray, netflix, cheeeeaaap sales on games and custom themes. Not sure why hacking a ps4 would be as popular as something like a 3DS or even Switch.
Still haven't touched an AC game since the first. It wasn't particularly memorable at all. I remember definitely NOT wanting to explore the world for their hidden templars and other bs. Also that whole illuminati dream tank stuff put me off and broke up the pacing. Have they at least ditched those rubbish parts since then?
@nessisonett Is there a single good faction in Warhammer, though Would be cool to play as something like Elder, though. Maybe they'll let you play as another faction for a bit.
@The_Moose I went back a second time on hard mode, which I don't usually do. It was a very straight forward campaign, though. Back then, it was kind of refreshing as the ps3 was the era of open sandbox everything lol
@KilloWertz @HotGoomba @Voltan @nessisonett @Deadhunter With so many recommendations I suppose I have to! Lol I'll probably do the first season on the next hangover day and then continue after that haha
@LiamCroft I met 3 people that binged those things for a long time... All got diagnosed with IBS after a while and had to stop drinking them lol I'm assuming you're probably not drinking them every day, but none the less!
@UltimateOtaku91 Actually wondered about this myself. Other rare pieces of equipment from challenges or limited availability, too. Just means you'd have to be dedicated if they aren't widely available items. Hopefully the big players don't start coming in with hacked accounts or even shared, would completely screw everyone else. Then there's the connotations of this currency if it was saleable. Imagine gangsters taking turns playing games all day and threatening children over voice chat to get a piece of gear that would net them enough tokens to sell for 5 grand on eBay lol
I tried to watch Parks and Recreation. Pretty terrible. I made it through less of that than Community. Maybe I'll see more than 20 minutes of him this time lol
@videoman190 Naw, it's a game looking to capitalise on being next gen exclusive, like Godfall before they announced ps4 version. The terrain detail is pretty poor by the looks of things. The ps4 pro could easily play this and probably base ps4 with only a little work put into changing things. Still gonna be a good year before the proper ps5 games are out.
I really hope smaller games implement more reactions of NPCs. For a while, it's funny throwing a stack of money or cigar at someone and watching them have 0 reaction like you're some petulant child that has already been told off too many times, but it loses the appeal after a while.
@Uncharted2007 I found walking quickly became normal, but turning took A LOT longer to get used to. Still get a bit motion if I do a 360. Can't play Rigs or Squadrons :/
@Anti-Matter Thanks for the info, was hoping it would be on the easier side. Shame about load times, have a ps4 pro so maybe that will help if I turn off Supersample.
Wasn't it out last week? Haven't played for a while tbh. Hit level 30 in the free trial but me and my friend wanted to party and there isn't that option in the free trial. I hear it's impossible to get into a sever atm, anyway.
@Gelloh Well, I believe that whilst people like this continue living an empty, hollow life with impulses and possessions to fill the void, we got to hold up our light. I think these dark cases we keep hearing, they will come to light and they will pass for a better future and in the mean time be happy in your life and do what you can around you, for yourself and those you love. So, whatever broken mind state these people are in, we can't add to their hate, even though they do need to be humbled and stripped of the power they hold. Anyway, much love to you and keep living
@Gelloh You know, when discussing these cases with my friends a whole back I actually theorized that it is the power that influences these kinds of clearly illegal decisions. Some sort of further power trip of breaking the law and getting away with it along with being able to completely dominate the minor, which would be less able to defend themselves against adults or make informed decisions.
Oh, not again... At least this stuff is being exposed. I think the worst are the ones that are smart/rich enough to buy trafficked children to their holiday lets or some such. The franklin cover up is one of the worst, but, hey, they covered that well and you didn't read this from me.
Little bit of Greedfall and Luigi's Mansion (2ds xl). Having to self isolate as me and my son have contracted covid, so won't be doing anything else for a while and we found out he has it when my son was at his mothers so I'm going to have to wait to see him now. Ultimately a sucky situation. Hope everyone else is faring better! Happy gaming.
@Fight_Teza_Fight If it was something like "Rockstar Manchester" then yes, I'd understand there would be an issue. Said development company would obviously be trying to gain familiarity and popularity based on someone else established company. Even if they could somehow prove they didn't know of Rockstar North or whatever, they would still have to change the name as it is far too similar and cause confusion. This case mentioned in the article will get thrown out or they'll just waste their own publisher money, so whatever, it's their mistake. Lol
@iamtylerdurden1 Endgame to me, gas always been after the story. I was born in 92 and gaming since 95 and pretty much nearly every game I've bothered to play through had a story of some sorts, even Super Mario World had text peppered throughout. If it's just boss rush and such I'm not really interested and also I'm not a fan of rogue likes so the tower doesn't sound good ,either. No idea what Lightbringer is but unless it is a sort of dlc like story part I probably will just skip adding this to my library.
Was very happy until hearing about Godfall. Really sucks for ps5 users, whose only game with ps5 specifications is basically a demo. I'll still be playing Lego DC with the little one next year sometime so I went for the "Meh" option, although I think if I had known it was a demo version straight away I would have felt less deceived.
@Fight_Teza_Fight "Take-two", a phrase to denote a second attempt at recording music or video, or even rehearsing a play... "It Takes Two", a phrase to implicate that more than one being/object is needed to accomplish something. Not to mention one is an actual game and the other just a publisher of games. Completely stupid and they won't change anything.
@MyThoughts31 I don't know, I never really notice who is playing who when it comes to voice acting. Also, I watch very little movies and tv so don't even know who is big atm haha. I plan to return to the cinema for the first time since Silent Hill Revelations on December 17th for the return of Tobey Maguire (probably brief, sadly) as Spider-Man in No Way Home. They edited him out in the trailer but here's one where someone put him and Garfield in. https://youtu.be/sFoGT3tH3xA
@SoulsBourne128 Exactly what I thought, it should be 2 and 3 and they could have even adapted the story and had Claire/Leon and Jill/Carlos cross paths. 2 doesn't even take place right after 1, so what happens? Do they just cut to "2 years later" or something?
@WallyWest Sanic was the best easter egg of all. I also liked it and felt it was set up well for a sequel, hope we see the knuckles tribe again, too. I've seen 3 times now with my 3 year old son who also loves it, I do feel it was written with younger audiences in mind, but it wasn't too silly either.
