@Stevemalkpus "Anti-trust laws," lol "Government oversight" haha. Next you will say something crazy like "consumer protections." You some sort of communist???
Its been a great console for my kids. Its been pretty middling for me. Astrobot has 100 percent been the high point. It takes a lot to get my seven year old interested in anything that isn't TABS, Goat Sim, Minecraft, or Teardown, but he was glued to Astrobot. It was such a wonderful experience. Playing through that game with him made the PS5 a worthy purchase. I dont want to diminish that, but I play PS4 games on my PS5 more than anything else.
@LogicStrikesAgain you are at the reaction to the reaction part of the controversy cycle. You can just take someone's word for it when they answer your question.
@stylon I have tried to get into the series so many times, but stopped after I bought BLOPS 2, when it was current on WiiU. I realized the games were not for me because everyone pointed to that game as a high mark and I couldn't stand it. Walk forward, shoot things at mid-screen standing in a straight line, cutscene, repeat. I could see the budget on screen, even for the WiiU, and the shooting felt good, but I just didn't enjoy it at all. I dont think they want to build decent campaigns anymore.
Tomb Raider: DE on Switch 1. Great fun so far. I reinstated Tsushima as well, and have been spending hours reacquainting myself with the controls. I think it outclasses AC Shadows in all the ways that are important. Crazy gorgeous game too.
Doing something right in my home I guess.
My six year old wants a bearded dragon for Xmas. He plays Teardown, TABS, and Goat Simulator more than anything else, and Roblox is banned.
@Stepan It doesn't matter to me. I will always suspect the connection tion is to blame if something fishy goes down, and the servers DEFINITELY are going down some day. I play Burnout Legends and a good deal of sixth gen stuff, and I always will.
@SuntannedDuck2 I dont play any games that require a connection, and all of the work you put in to comparing and contrasting the differences is appreciated...but also one of the reasons I wont even bother. I dont mean that to be dismissive of your response.
@Stepan GT7. The racing game that requires an online connection to save progress and to access everything besides arcade mode. What a bastardization that game is. I sincerely hope nothing but the worst for it.
It is up there with the most disappointing sequels I have played. With 4, Fallout 76, and Shelter, the series is just dead to me. I am interested in how they will ruin the 3 Remakester.
Starlink on Switch, lol. It clicked when I started treating it like a Star Fox game. I'm playing the digital version. The toy BS kept me away for a while. Anyway! Its a Saturday morning cartoon, for sure, but the tech is crazy impressive and the Star Fox stuff is just wonderful. Other than that, some Nightslashers and Tactics Ogre on the Retroid. I'd recommend the Retroid 5 just for PSP emulation. That library is just incredible.
Modern day Florida lampoons itself. I have no doubt it will be fun, I just dont want to play a game in that setting. Its like Fallout: Detroit, or something.
Not surprisingly, I uninstalked AC Shadows and reinstalled Tsushima. I may just start it over again. Shadows is just too bloated, aesthetically messy, and I don't dig the constant updates and tiered loot. Less is more really worked out for Tsushima.
The Retroid 5 does the same trick for $20 more, w great emulation, Winlator, Android, hall sticks, and an AMOLED. I had a Portal, and I prefer the Retroid. I can play New Vegas, Streets of Rage 4 and Remake, and Android ports of games like Blasphemous on it.
My six year old loves TABS like crazy. He's been playing it for about a year. He is getting more into Teardown these days, but I highly suggest TABS to other parents w younger kids out there.
