Video gamer, ramen addict, learning guitar, normal.
I play JRPGs for the combat. Tonkotsu > Miso/Shoyu/etc.

I say this as someone who doesn’t like MTX, but I’ve never understood how optional cosmetics ever factor into whether a game is “complete”. The only way they could be seen as an important part of the game is if you play games to play dressup. Which I get if you’re playing a fashion designer style game or a game thats almost purely social, but in the majority of games they don’t fucking matter at all. How do people get so bent out of shape about them?
Don’t know on PS5, but definitely not on PS4
Steam is legitimately easier and faster to get games going on than my PS4 these days IMO. Library is laid out alot better and there’s no signing in whenever I turn on a controller. Its still easier to do local multiplayer on PS4, but not by much.
Lackluster at best isn’t really accurate, most of their ports have been more than functional and usually get performance patches. Alot of these issues are also poor optimization more than anything which means alot of issues can often be brute forced with stronger rigs so it adds value to upgrading whenever its time for that.
This is the big thing. There’s been a few games that have released on PS5 that had me considering buying the console (Ratchet & Clank RA, Returnal, Final Fantasy 16) that have tempted me, but they’re all either already on PC or coming in the next 2 years. Why would I buy a console if everything on it is gonna get ported eventually anyways?
Music Park and Tick Tock Clock being anywhere above C tier alone invalidates the entire list, not that I’d agree with any of the other placements.
Switch:
Just played the Future Connected epilogue for Xenoblade 1 DE, gonna play the Torna DLC for Xenoblade 2 next. Played the base games multiple times but have never played the DLC for any of them.
Other:
Working on Ys 6, Humanity, and Raidou Kuzunoha 1. I’ll probably take a break on Humanity til I get a stronger rig though cause its having framedrops even on lower settings
Started Ys 6 yesterday and finally getting around to doing a full playthrough of Ninpen Manmaru
I cannot recommend Luigi’s Mansion 3 enough. Probably the most fun me and my ex had playing anything together. Well made puzzles and really fun co-op mechanics. Its my favorite entry in the series by a good margin.
I also enjoyed both Mario Party games on the Switch, Superstars is the better one for sure though.
I really do not care how early or late a game gets announced. Plenty of great games have been announced early, plenty of shit games have been announced late. What matters is who’s developing it and the situation around the development.
I think people really just need to vet who they get their games from better. There are quite a few publishers/developers I can absolutely rely on to provide a great product on day 1, and saying never to trust them that puts them in the same category as the shitty ones which is wrong.
If she’s struggling to run and jump at the same time there is no way she’s ready for first person camera controls like in minecraft.
Huge agree. If I can watch Redline and Dead Leaves in their original language with English subtitles first and miss nothing when compared to watching the English dub after the fact, I think I can catch pretty much whatever most movies will throw at me just fine.
I was a huge Sonic kid, only had a ps2 during 6th gen so my introduction was Sonic Heroes. When I got a Wii I went back and played the Adventure games. I have mixed feelings on them as an adult, I like pretty much every entry during 6th & 7th gen besides Shadow & 06 since I adored them so much as a kid but I can very easily see the cracks in them now and honestly I don’t think I would care for any of them besides Colors & Generations if I didn’t grow up with them.
Some games I loved as a kid that 100% hold up as an adult for me however would be Ape Escape 2 & 3, Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Super Monkey Ball DX, Aqua Aqua, Klonoa 2 & Wii remake, Pac-Man World 2, ExciteBots Trick Racing, and my favorite game of all time which got me into JRPGs Xenoblade 1.
Its really nice to see more motion control games, so glad that they still haven’t abandoned it after all these years.
Gameplay looks incredible just from the little bit they’ve shown, can’t wait to see more and it’ll most likely be a day 1 buy for me.
That main character looks atrocious though, legit one of the worst scrimblo bimblo designs I’ve ever seen in my life.
Curious whats new that they could have lined up, I feel like we’ve gotten pretty much everything we could reasonably expect from them besides a true new Mario Kart entry. Excited regardless though.
Mario Party and Bomberman are the go-to’s anytime me and my out-of-state friends meet up, I would see them at specific fighting game tournaments every year but I’ve fallen out of FGs so I don’t know if they keep it going.
Also not quite tradition but every couple years I replay Xenoblade 1. Just did my 4th playthrough last year.
I’m not arguing it doesn’t matter, I’m arguing it shouldn’t matter.
