Re: The Game Awards Seemingly the Biggest Global Entertainment Event of Our Time

LavenderShroud

You can preach and push it all you want, I still don’t care about it. And it’s over, why are we still talking about it? I couldn’t care less about these awards. I just want to play games without being told what is “the best of the year” or any of that crap. My personal game of the year was Pokémon Yellow, and that came out 25 years ago and I wasn’t influenced by any award show or reviews to play it.

Re: Nov 2024 USA Sales: PS2's Sales Toppled by Switch As College Football 25 Becomes the Best-Selling Sports Game Ever

If that Xbox part is actually true, given how Xbox news is handled on this site, they really just need to give up. There is no way they could ever hope to turn things around like Nintendo did from the Wii U to the Switch.

I do think it’s pretty impressive the Switch is now bigger than PS2 over here, I never thought anything could beat it in any country. I like Nintendo, I like PlayStation. If I can get one repaired, I’d even have a PS2 for myself.

Re: SEGA President Calls Sonic Superstars a 'Disappointment'

I thought it was pretty good. The colors could hand been toned down slightly in my opinion and it felt a bit easy compared to other 2D Sonic games. It probably should have been pixel style like Mania though, the Chaos Emerald powers barely went used and seemed unnecessary. But aside from my criticisms here, I had fun with it.

Re: Physical Media Just Can't Catch a Break Right Now

LavenderShroud

I still much prefer physical media. Sure, I spend pretty much all my time with my autistic brother watching streaming services, BUT our internet is horrible. He buys movies all the time, which we can easily watch without having to wait for it to buffer. Plus movies come and go on streaming services and sometimes you can’t find what you want specifically because nobody is streaming it. Also, sometimes there are shows that have “banned” episodes that you can’t find streaming. I’m looking at a Pokémon box set right now that has one of those episodes on it. So it IS better to have a VHS/DVD/Blu-ray of it. Same with physical games. Games sometimes get delisted and you can’t buy them anymore. Yet if you have a physical copy…

You can all preach your “digital only” crap all you want, but physical media is still incredibly important for those very reasons.

Now, I’m not saying we’re both strictly physical media, he owns some 30+ Switch digital games that were bought at deep discounts. But still you can’t just up and deny that physical media is still important with the points I’ve given.

Re: Poll: Will You Be Watching The Game Awards 2024?

LavenderShroud

I’m just waiting for it to be over so we can finally be free from these damn articles. I honestly just don’t care about these things, and even hate games that were plastered all over the covers with “winner of 200+ awards” or a blurbs from some dumb review. Sure they announce things. But I’m not going to sit through that crap just for a trailer that will be online right after.

Re: Sony's Really Pushing PlayStation Tournaments, First-Ever Live Event Announced

LavenderShroud

@PuppetMaster Yeah. But sports are sports and games are games. There’s a huge difference. I just play games for myself or with my brother. It’s not anybody’s business how good or awful we are at fighting or FPS games. We just have fun and I really don’t understand why there’s a need to make them into tournaments or anything. But maybe I’m just too old to understand. Whatever, I’ll stick with my JRPGs, Pokémon, and mobile games.

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your PS1 Memories?

LavenderShroud

When my brother got a PSOne last month, and let me have his old model. I still haven’t tried it. But we’re were playing FFVII on his “new” one a few weeks ago. It was very fun! I loved every minute. I need to get myself some games though.
