like the very existence of Most Wanted 2012 makes me sad

#

the last time i went to mega replay they had like 3 copies of most wanted 2012 on the shelf, spine facing out
i was very disappointed when i pulled them out and none of them were the 2005 version

prisma briar
#

The sleeve should be very different

#

The game shouldn’t have been called most wanted, it absolutely ruined the game, it was a really fun time but the naming was so risky

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

Yeah lol I get it

quasi raptor

#

@prisma briar

#

lol

prisma briar

It was there from the start

Everyone gets it

This car is nuts

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

Lol sorry no

quasi raptor
#

At least I have my delivery boy car

prisma briar

I have loads of cars, I’m having great fun

quasi raptor

Though I am having great fun too

#

do you like this bloke

#

NFS looks pretty good, police, street racing, more an underground vibe, and pretty cool colour scheme

quasi raptor
#

hes cool

prisma briar
#

he is apparently in this game then

#

did you see it

quasi raptor
#

same with the mario movie direct

swift zodiac
#

Here it is

#

We'll finally get to hear Chris Pratt as Mario

quasi raptor
#

this looks amazing

prisma briar
#

i like the mercedes asap rocky has

quasi raptor
#

(i was able to watch it real quick while walking between buildings)

spark yarrow
#

Oh hey that NFS trailer thing looks neat

#

probably also the first time I've ever listened to A$AP Rocky

#

Ooh, Hot Pursuit remaster too

#

I hope we get a Porsche remaster, but that seems unlikely

quasi raptor
spark yarrow
#

IDK, just saw this

quasi raptor
#

thats a few years old tho

spark yarrow
#

I guess it'd be the PS2-era one?

quasi raptor
#

isnt that trailer from 2020?

spark yarrow
#

Yeah, according to youtube

quasi raptor
#

maybe that trailer is for a ps5 upgrade?

prisma briar
#

clearly the launch trailer for the ps4/switch/one

#

its the 2010 one, you can tell by the logo

quasi raptor
#

she confused the hell outta me there lol

prisma briar
#

i kno

quasi raptor
#

tbh they should've announced a new remaster

#

like just one

prisma briar
#

well theyd find announcing one difficult if they havent made one

quasi raptor
#

lol

swift zodiac
#

THAT TRAILER LOOKED SO GOOD

quasi raptor
#

you'd think after the success of THPS 1+2 maybe they'd be interested in doing NFS Underground 1+2

prisma briar
#

that just makes too much sense lets not be silly

quasi raptor
#

lmao damn

spark yarrow
#

that funny square thing?

quasi raptor
#

need for speed nitro on wii: remaster

spark yarrow
quasi raptor
#

lmao

#

how lucky you are

spark yarrow
#

I thought the "coming dec 02 2022" was a label for the video in the box given the placement of it

quasi raptor
spark yarrow
#

Don't channels get to control the end card video link?

quasi raptor
#

i think yeah

spark yarrow
#

the actual end of video thing had an NFS Heat video by someone else

prisma briar
#

typically for youtube you can just let a card suggest a video, not usually pick it specifically

#

you flumpnugget

#

lol

spark yarrow
#

I do be a flumpnugget tbh

#

I still just want a Porsche remake but also not

#

well, remaster probably

#

I just want it to work on a modern PC without so much hassle

quasi raptor
#

it depends if they still have the license

spark yarrow
#

Yeah, I imagine that's a big problem, but then again it's one car make license vs the many for a typical NFS game

#

that and I think the soundtrack wasn't the usual licensed music playlist

#

pre-EA TRAX

quasi raptor
#

why wasnt there a nfs lamborghini

spark yarrow
#

Seems like it'd make more sense than Porsche

quasi raptor
#

i keep seeing a game at mega replay called Ferrari Challenge

#

for ps2

spark yarrow
#

Oh huh

#

Could be fun

quasi raptor
#

oh apparently its a series

#

oh wait maybe not

#

its a game that was multiplatform

spark yarrow
#

Oh hey, System 3

median pulsar
quasi raptor
#

That goes so fucking hard

prisma briar
#

excited to see more

quasi raptor
#

It's almost like a modern version of auto modellista

spark yarrow
#

I suddenly need to try auto modellista

quasi raptor
#

Have you heard of it Lauren?

spark yarrow
#

Not until now!

#

just had a look

quasi raptor
#

Apparently some think it was a disappointment but it has a really in depth customization system

#

I feel like it's meant to look like initial D

#

Or at least invoke that kind of visual style

#

@prisma briar has it also been taking you multiple attempts to beat a single race

#

on hot wheels

prisma briar
#

What difficulty

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

Yeah not really

#

Maybe one or two

median pulsar
#

@fair plover @quasi raptor Earthbound/Chrono Trigger sometime this weekend?

quasi raptor
median pulsar
median pulsar
quasi raptor
#

i like shovel knight

#

its fun

supple thunder
#

Omg lol.

prisma briar
#

Finished the main story of Spooderfella: Kilometres Gonzalez

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

It was indeed

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

As someone who doesn’t, I did too

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

Fairly happy friend of miles, wasn’t totally special to me but he was a very good person

#

I really enjoyed the amount of dilemmas miles found himself in, and the mission with the postcards post game was very touching

quasi raptor
#

I feel like he was funnier in the comics but nonetheless i love him here

#

i was glad they included him even though hes basically a requirement for a Miles story

#

he's the Harry Osborne to miles's Peter Parker, except never turns evil

prisma briar
#

Did you catch the post credit scene? Could link in with the spiderman 2 trailer

quasi raptor
#

I forgot what was in that again

#

But I did watch it

#

FUCK autocorrect

prisma briar
quasi raptor
#

Oh yeah that credit scene has nothing to do with the miles Morales story

#

It's basically a continuation of the postcredit scene from PS4

prisma briar
#

Yeah I didn’t say it did

quasi raptor
#

i know

prisma briar
#

I assumed it was leading into spiderman 2

quasi raptor
#

i was just pointing it out lol
yeah it does

prisma briar
#

That’ll be fun, can’t wait for that

quasi raptor
#

I'm confused what they're about to try to do with ||Harry Osborne||

prisma briar
#

||Venom?||

quasi raptor
#

like ||is he about to be venom||

prisma briar
#

I assumed so, would be a fun moral dilemma for the guys

quasi raptor
#

||like bro i just wanted a faithful version of Eddie Brock||
we've never gotten that

prisma briar
#

Lol, I don’t think you’ll get that here unfortunately

quasi raptor
#

im considering the films here which kinda isnt fair but still

#

It just baffles me how wrong they got that character both times

prisma briar
#

Yeah maybe if we still had movie tie in games lol

quasi raptor
#

HA

#

rip

prisma briar
#

I can see the ps2 venom port in my head

quasi raptor
#

I remember most reviewers saying that movie reminded them of a shitty early 2000s superhero movie so that would make sense

prisma briar
#

Venom?

quasi raptor
#

Yes

prisma briar
#

I didn’t know people didn’t like that, I had fun with both lol

quasi raptor
#

Morbius too

prisma briar
#

I don’t think I’ll ever see morbius

quasi raptor
#

Me neither

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

Idk I’m not really reading comics here I just like spiderbloke and venom

quasi raptor
#

fair

prisma briar
#

I think I’m a different demographic to you, I don’t like many superheroes and I’m not a comic guy

#

But I like spiderman, and Batman mostly

quasi raptor
#

Yeah

#

I'm balls deep in the superhero genre

#

You should play the guardians game next

prisma briar
#

Idk how far I am from playing that

quasi raptor
#

This is a very specific thing to mention but I love the way the adaptive triggers feel when you reload Star-Lord's guns

prisma briar
#

I’ll get round to it but I have plenty else first

quasi raptor
#

I think there's a lot to appreciate there, even if youre not into comic lore

#

A lot of the characters that appear are deepcut comic book references but the absurdity of it all is very charming and entertaining

#

much like the Guardians films

#

outside of the main guardians members- I'll say, even I didn't know who some of the characters that appeared are

lime gyro
#

Plus the spider-cat costume

#

Best costume ever I accept no criticisms

quasi raptor
#

i love using the spiderverse suit

prisma briar
#

his little head popped out and i took so many screenshots

lime gyro
#

Yea me too it was fuckin GREAT

prisma briar
#

i think i used the golden version of the classic suit most of the game

lime gyro
#

He's just out here vibin

prisma briar
#

did you ever do the finisher where he attacks too

lime gyro
#

When I did new game+ I used the catsuit exclusively

lime gyro
#

So

#

I barely used finishers

prisma briar
#

i used finishers for any enemy that were annoying, like shieldfucks

lime gyro
#

I just slipped underneath them and venom punch

prisma briar
#

yeah not useful when i've fucked up my stealth and theres 8 cunts about to unleash hell on my anus

#

plus finishers gained venom energy so it was just very useful to have insta kill moves

lime gyro
#

Finishers gained venom?

prisma briar
#

One of the abilities was to do that yeah

#

40% of a bar or so

#

check out that finisher, he makes a noise

fair plover
#

@median pulsar my b i got caught up in stuff this weekend wah
i can do earthbound tonight if you wanna

median pulsar
#

Lol it's okay, I was caught up hyperfixating on Fallout

#

I'm down for tonight! I've got a phone interview at 5:30 CDT but I'm free after that

fair plover
#

i might be at the gym tonight but i should be able to when i get back

#

i usually have to do an hour walk after we're done at like 8pm est, so when i get back im down

median pulsar
#

F'sho!

quasi raptor
#

@median pulsar i got sidetracked with Cyberpunk this weekend, im hooked

#

my b lol

median pulsar
#

It's all good lol I was playing FO76 pretty much every spare moment of my weekend

lime gyro
#

Crazy mf

quasi raptor
lime gyro
#

It was okay I just liked the reward of the catsuit

indigo spoke
#

I really liked the cat finsihing move thing

lime gyro
#

It's cute as fuck

indigo spoke
#

Heck yes I want more spidey cat action

#

It might make me more interested in the game lmao

quasi raptor
lime gyro
#

I speak fluent typo and yes I do

quasi raptor
#

lmao

prisma briar
#

That happens twice

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

You find another cat at some point :)

quasi raptor
#

hell yes

#

dunno when i'll go back to it tho
i think cyberpunk will be my main focus rn whenever i got freetime

#

aside from fortnite of course

#

but i hope to beat most of those at some point

median pulsar
fair plover
#

ill let you know when im prepped and all that

median pulsar
fair plover
#

@median pulsar ready when you are cowboybread

median pulsar
#

I'll be ready in a minute if you want to boot it up! @fair plover

quasi raptor
#

street performer in cyberpunk but no option to give him a tip : (

Platinum’d Spiderman: Miles Morales joe

More layoffs

quasi raptor

FUCK WARNER

spark yarrow
lime gyro
prisma briar
#

Thank you

lime gyro
#

Ya no problem

quasi raptor
#

@swift zodiac

swift zodiac
#

Yup I saw that yesterday

#

Merger with WB Animation

#

It's so sad to watch this company nosedive into worthlessness

quasi raptor
#

Cartoon Network was fucking great when I was a kid

quasi raptor
#

Street Fighter 4 has aged so well

#

i love the style in this one so much

median pulsar
#

I don't know why this made me laugh so hard

swift zodiac
#

@quasi raptor I hate saying this but Gotham Knights is going to be a failure

quasi raptor
#

Huh

swift zodiac
#

Dropping this kind of information one week before release after pre-orders have been available for months is downright inexcusable. They were so obviously trying to hide this and when the dev's don't have faith in their own game, that's a horrible sign

quasi raptor
#

I actually have it preordered

#

Yes I can cancel but I still am going to wait and see

swift zodiac
#

I guess

#

I'm just gonna wait for a sale

#

I want this game to be good so bad but it just doesn't... look very good to me

quasi raptor
swift zodiac
#

I literally just did

#

Like really

#

It was kinda stuff I already knew

#

Because I've been following this game since its announcement

quasi raptor
swift zodiac
quasi raptor
#

Yes the 30 fps is not fair but I but I am still optimistic

swift zodiac
#

The game originally was gonna be on PS4 think of how shit it would have been

#

10 FPS tops

quasi raptor
#

I'm going to be honest man

#

This game doesn't look like something that the ps4 cant do

swift zodiac
#

EXACTLY

#

It looks like a last gen game 😭

quasi raptor
#

OK I guess I hadn't thought about that before

swift zodiac
#

And it has a frame cap of 30 on PS5

#

It's comparable to Spider-Man and that ran 30 frames on PS4

#

Remastered runs 60 on PS5

quasi raptor
#

This may not have been a game I needed a ps5 to play
Well at least before we knew that they had scrapped the PS4/xbox one versions

swift zodiac
#

Exactly

#

They haven't dropped the recommended specs on PC yet

quasi raptor
#

This does not seem like a game where they should favor PC players

swift zodiac
#

Yeah

#

Combat system looks very console oriented

quasi raptor
#

games like this are the type of shit consoles were built for

swift zodiac
#

Fr

#

PC runs game better on worse specs. This sounds like GK has dogwater optimization

quasi raptor
#

On the positive side if I do have to cancel my preorder for this it just means I'm able to buy sonic frontiers

#

Guaranteed

#

My bank account is running low after I had to spend $600 on car repairs

swift zodiac
quasi raptor
#

Oh I'm gonna buy it regardless because of Joe

swift zodiac
#

Fair

quasi raptor
#

Just the idea of playing it at the same time as him and getting to talk about it is really fun

#

thats gonna be great

quasi raptor
#

The main guy straight up said no when someone asked if shadow would be in the game

#

Unfortunate but the honesty is very respectable

swift zodiac
#

Exactly

#

The GK teams swears up and down on their life that Batman is dead but their writing (especially on plot twists) is shown to be sub-par (Batman Arkham Origins) that I wouldn't be surprised if Batman wasn't dead

quasi raptor
#

That game was great

#

Writing included

lime gyro
#

yea it looks like a really visually mediocre game

#

plus batman can just be revived. its happened before

#

he can just be revived in a lazarus pit

prisma briar
#

Borrowed from a friend

lime gyro
#

ppl rly hate it on reddit but i thought it was visually stunning if nothing else

prisma briar
#

It is very pretty so far, otherwise just basic R&C fun so far

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

Gaming

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

Pog

quasi raptor
#

Like that game is really good in my opinion
In its current state

prisma briar
#

I don’t think you’d bring it up this often if you didn’t think that

quasi raptor
#

I played some more sonic racing transformed by the way

#

yesterday

#

My danica patrick be crushin it

prisma briar
#

Cool, if you stick with characters you get some decent upgrades I think? Or at least alternate tuning for them

prisma briar
quasi raptor
#

I started playing cyberpunk again after I decided to take a break from Avengers

#

I love the story but the combat is a bit repetitive

median pulsar
#

Has anyone played Bioshock, and if so, would you recommend the original or the remaster? 🤔

quasi raptor
#

I also have the remaster too

#

I think the remaster is fairly well regarded

median pulsar
#

I'm trying to look up what people think, and it sounds like the remaster has some new game +type content and the graphics are...better, but inconsistently so? Like some things it does better, but some things the original does better. And it sounds like it's maybe a little less stable on PC and has some weird bugs compared to the original. So ultimately, thoughts are very split, seemingly pretty evenly.

quasi raptor
#

i think this video might help you

median pulsar
#

I mean I already own both

quasi raptor
#

The information he gives here is still pretty helpful even if you own it

median pulsar
#

Fair

quasi raptor
#

I'm watching it right now and he does say that it's the version you should play

lime gyro
#

collection version has updated graphics too

quasi raptor
#

I assume you were just trying to make sure it wasn't a bad remaster
and it seems you're good

lime gyro
#

so its definitely better value

quasi raptor
#

Bioshock collection was free a year or 2 back on PS plus

#

so I have it too

lime gyro
#

i dont but i dont enjoy bioshock

quasi raptor
#

A lot of people have fun memories of that game so I'm planning on trying to beat it someday

#

I also played a pretty large chunk of bioshock infinite a long time ago back when it was on 360

#

I remember liking it

lime gyro
#

infinite is top 3 worst games for me

quasi raptor
quasi raptor
lime gyro
#

my opinion is not a stretch

#

its my opinion

quasi raptor
#

Disappointing to bioshock fans maybe but it was still critically acclaimed

lime gyro
#

its top 3 worst games for me cos i personally had a shit experience

#

you can like it if you want

#

i personally didnt

quasi raptor
#

I'm still going to give it a second look someday regardless

lime gyro
#

thats fair

#

i gave it second and third chances already

median pulsar
#

I've never played Bioshock myself but I watched my brother play quite a bit of it back when it first came out and I always wanted to play because it looked really interesting

lime gyro
#

its got interesting mechanics

#

i assume the first one is really good

#

never played it much

quasi raptor
#

All of the bioshock games have really good visuals

#

All of the worlds portrayed in those games are stunning

lime gyro
#

yea i cant disagree with the visuals

#

for a ps3 game infinite was beautiful

quasi raptor
#

Even the sky place in Infinite (forget what its called) was absolutely gorgeous

lime gyro
#

the sky place?

quasi raptor
#

Even though I haven't beat any of them personally I can attest that they are all worth playing just for the atmosphere alone

lime gyro
#

like the sky city or the final boss location or where that woman was trapped

quasi raptor
#

I don't know the place that you start at the beginning of that game

#

It's like a city

lime gyro
#

the sky city

#

idk the name of it

quasi raptor
#

Doesn't it have a different name

lime gyro
#

idk

quasi raptor
#

It's just been a really long time since I've played it

lime gyro
#

mm

#

its still just a city in the sky

median pulsar
#

Rapture

lime gyro
#

sky city works for a name

#

its name is rapture?

median pulsar
#

Er wait

quasi raptor
#

Rapture is the name of the place from the first one

median pulsar
#

No you're talking about Infinite

lime gyro
#

columbia

quasi raptor
#

OH

median pulsar
#

Yeah, Rapture is the underwater city in the OG

quasi raptor
#

yeah its columbia

#

you got it aodhan

#

thank you

median pulsar
#

Sorry I'm like, trying to eat breakfast, play FO76, and talk at the same time 😂

quasi raptor
#

I wish I had played the remaster that I have but I haven't

#

So I can only tell you what other people have said

#

and ya it seems like a competent remaster

swift zodiac
quasi raptor
#

The story looks like it might be good

#

Could be an avengers situation

#

Good story, mediocre gameplay

lime gyro
#

The gameplay looks fun

quasi raptor
#

but I don't know he only got to play like 2 hours of if apparently

prisma briar
lime gyro
#

Two hours of it isn't a good indicator of overall quality

#

Maybe it'll be better when you have more skills

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

I think it’s at least fair for first impressions, and a feel of the game

quasi raptor
#

Yeah I was thinking that too

#

That's why it was a preview video that I watched

prisma briar
#

I know it’s not good for a full review but it is also fair that if a game doesn’t feel good early on, it could cause a lot of people to be turned off by it even if it’s good later

quasi raptor
#

I should probably say that the person I'm talking about in in question is Jake baldino from from gameranx

#

And I will definitely be watching his before you buy

prisma briar
#

Skeet waiting for Jake Baldino to approve his surgery in a “before you buy” episode:

quasi raptor
#

lmao

#

He's a good reviewer

#

seems like a really nice guy too

prisma briar
#

I like his stuff, totally, just you’ve mentioned him a lot so it’s funny

quasi raptor
#

yes true

#

To be honest I have really stopped watching nintendo life after John left

#

It's not like I don't ever watch it but man I've noticed my viewership of that channel has declined drastically

prisma briar
#

I like them, but John was a real talent outside of just a great bloke

quasi raptor
#

I always liked Jon a lot more than Alex personally and yeah like we've said Felix is kind of boring

#

I really do love Zion though

prisma briar
#

Felix seems a really nice guy but an absolutely bland and basic video reviewer and for opinions

quasi raptor
#

dare i say he kind of seems like an entry level gamer

prisma briar
#

What sucks is I was planning on using my YouTube channel to apply, so I can give frontiers a 10 on switch

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

I like him more in the podcast-y videos

quasi raptor
#

I really wish I could do something game related for a living

prisma briar
#

I will say though Zion is a wonderful guy

quasi raptor
#

Yeah I like him a lot

prisma briar
#

Alex is very British and a good chatter

quasi raptor
#

I don't like some of his takes as much to be honest

#

I don't know

prisma briar
#

Yeah I get that, I agree, but he is good for chatting

#

Decent personality even when he’s wrong

quasi raptor
#

Yeah I think that's about what I was going to say lol

#

But yeah the guys from gameranx I really enjoy

#

Even Falcon, hes alright too

prisma briar
#

He does those generic top 5/10s, which for some reason I like so much

quasi raptor
#

It is a pretty generic format but I can't help but love it

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

I haven’t seen to many yet from him

median pulsar
#

@low bough @quasi raptor Fight Club watch party when? hype

lime gyro
#

inb4 @prisma briar finishes ratchet and clank

#

it is taking him a long time

prisma briar
#

Huh

lime gyro
#

its taking you a long time to beat the game

#

did you get the rocket boots yet

prisma briar
#

I’ve only played about 6 hours

lime gyro
#

its like, a 12 hour game

prisma briar
#

I like to walk about

lime gyro
#

you

#

i

#

im blocking you

prisma briar
#

Weird to ping me to say it’s taking a while to finish a game

lime gyro
#

im shaming you

#

be better at finishing games

prisma briar
#

I’m decent at finishing games, just not when I’m wondering about finding out I can’t do stuff yet

lime gyro
#

what stuff

prisma briar
#

Collectibles mostly

lime gyro
#

oh

#

mostly side missions there

prisma briar
#

Parts of the map

there is a teddy bear collectible you'll absolutely need a guide for

2023 gonna be big for horror

quasi raptor
#

oh and a bunch of other silent hill projects yeah

lime gyro
#

Gee thanks haha I don't regret this at all

quasi raptor
#

i bet i'll get my call from gamestop about my preorder today

#

well maybe

#

they called me a day or two before saints row, and then i ended up cancelling lol

lime gyro
#

Are you gonna bother getting this

#

We could play it coop if you do

quasi raptor
#

Oh shit yeah

#

its comforting to know one of my friends is getting it

lime gyro
#

Jsyk I'm absolutely going to be playing either red hood or nightwing cos red hood looks most fun and nightwing is the only one I like

lime gyro
quasi raptor
#

i was planning on maining red hood

#

it seems like a mixed bag but it seems like compared to the last game i nearly bought full price, its better by at least a bit

lime gyro
#

If you're doing red hood I'll go nightwing then

#

It looks fun but the graphics are not good

quasi raptor
#

For PS4 era yes
for a PS5 game, not really

#

It kind of looks like a game they were developing for PS4 1st and it got moved to PS5

#

And there were ps4 and xbox one versions planned originally

#

I've been waiting for a really impressive game to get on my PS5
almost all of the games I've been playing have been ps4 games with ps5 upgrades

lime gyro
#

For ps4 era being the key phrase here

quasi raptor
#

and gotham knights just isnt a next gen game

lime gyro
#

The ps5 should have 60fps by default

quasi raptor
#

Yes it pretty much does

lime gyro
#

None of it makes sense and what we're left with is a game that should not look the way it does

quasi raptor
#

Cost cutting I guess
I don't know how the Warner Bros discovery merger would impact video games but i guess it did

lime gyro
#

I don't think it did

quasi raptor
#

I'm not really sure what the reason is to be honest

lime gyro
#

I think they didn't have enough time to finish this game, maybe

quasi raptor
#

The discovery merger is just a theory

lime gyro
#

That seems to be the obvious one cos they had to delay the game didn't they

quasi raptor
#

No the game wasn't delayed

#

At least I don't think so

lime gyro
quasi raptor
#

Its original release date was October 26th and they moved it back 5 days

lime gyro
quasi raptor
#

Oh that

#

I forgot about that to be honest

lime gyro
#

It's probably just that they didn't have enough time to make it as good as possible

#

Still excited for it but this stuff puts a damper down

quasi raptor
#

Hopefully rocksteady really brings out the big guns with suicide squad

#

Gotham Knights just doesn't seem like the best game to tie us over

#

I love the concept but it's starting to look like it could have been executed better

prisma briar
#

I find it really odd to force 4k30 here

#

Reviews are uh, out there though I suppose

#

The screenshot comparisons to Arkham Knight were quite enlightening

quasi raptor
#

oh shit

#

youre fucking right

#

Arkham Knight is legitimately one of the most detailed games I have ever seen

#

Today it looks like a PS5 game to me I'm not even joking

quasi raptor
#

turns out this is another one where even my main man here didnt like it

lime gyro
#

You have a fucking MASSIVE MUSCLE SHARK FIGHTING SUPERMAN

swift zodiac
#

Wait til it hits bargain bins

#

I think this is a Marvel's Avengers situation

#

Dirt cheap in three months

lime gyro
#

I doubt it'll be as catastrophically hated as avengers was at the time

swift zodiac
#

I actually don't know

#

This game looks bad 💀

#

The loot/gear/crafting system just doesn't look very good

#

And that's one of the things that killed Avengers for me after a while

#

Fun at first, got old after the campaign

lime gyro
#

Avengers was also receiving way more hype than this

#

Gotham knights looks like ass but it also wasn't receiving near the same levels of interest as avengers

quasi raptor
#

I just saw the Resident Evil 4 remake gameplay reveal trailer and it was fucking insane

gleaming yew
#

i’m hyped for that

#

since re7 & 8 have kinda been going back to the formula of 4, so a remake of 4 will be amazing

#

Wait for bargain bins

quasi raptor
#

Did you know tiny tinas has andy samberg in it

#

i love that guy

swift zodiac
#

I didn't know that

#

How is that game?

quasi raptor
#

but i think i made the right choice

lime gyro
#

I'm just gonna get horizon

lime gyro
#

We can do coop on a game that isn't fortnite

quasi raptor
#

likely not this weekend tho

lime gyro
#

Fair

#

I'm playin dq11 this weekend anyways so

quasi raptor
#

i started a horror game last night in another desperate attempt to coincide with halloween

#

It's a PS2 rental case from Blockbuster Video

#

ive had this random thing for a long time and never thought much of it

spark yarrow
#

yooo Freekstyle!!

quasi raptor
spark yarrow
#

aw haha

quasi raptor
#

i think it was called "Activision Classic Games Collection"

#

either that or the PS1 Asteroids remake

#

that i think is terrible

quasi raptor
#

and has a pretty cartoony artstyle

#

is it like SSX but motorbikes?

spark yarrow
#

Pretty much

#

It's a lot more nu-metal in aesthetic

quasi raptor
#

lmao

#

gotta say that sounds pretty awesome

spark yarrow
#

it is!

quasi raptor
#

i swear ive seen that game at mega replay many times but never paid any attention to it

#

@quasi raptor My dad found a yard sale where these were $6 each

#

So I got them!

#

There were others which I already had or just didn't care about though

quasi raptor
#

jesus christ

#

i want all of those i have none of them

swift zodiac
#

Yeah I looked and saw some of them were up there in price

#

The eShop is closing down in just a few months I think now is the time I buy up all the 3DS and Wii U games while I still can

quasi raptor
swift zodiac
#

Which ones?

quasi raptor
#

There's a game I played from a library copy a long time ago

quasi raptor
swift zodiac
#

Jesus Christ

#

That's a bit much

quasi raptor
#

even just a loose copy is going for $160

swift zodiac
#

Oh man it spiked right when they announced closure of the shop too

quasi raptor
#

Yep

#

The other one is Kid Icarus Uprising

#

That was also from a copy that was at my mom's library

#

I think I beat it twice

#

but never owned it myself

swift zodiac
#

Hot dog

#

That's gone up too

quasi raptor
#

Yeah it's going for like 100 or something now

#

And it's never going to get ported

#

Even though I think the switch analog sticks could work great for that game

swift zodiac
quasi raptor
#

ok 50 aint the worst

#

Could still ask for it for Christmas maybe

#

That game is on my must have list

swift zodiac
#

The boxed collector's set is going for $130

quasi raptor
#

I just wanted my own cartridge

#

I feel stupid I never bought it before now

swift zodiac
quasi raptor
#

Fairly recently I was able to get a copy of Pilotwings Resort for like 10 dollars
at least some are ok rn

swift zodiac
#

The one niche series that I want so bad to have is Professor Layton

quasi raptor
#

There's a couple of the 1st parties I still need but I'm mostly good

swift zodiac
quasi raptor
#

That is actually one I really wanted yeah

#

Huge fan of Ace attorney right here

swift zodiac
#

I love Professor Layton

#

I've never played much Ace Attorney

quasi raptor
#

I only have curious village on my DS

#

lol we are the exact opposite

swift zodiac
#

I have Curious Village, Last Specter and the one on Switch that has his daughter as the main character

quasi raptor
#

I forgot professor layton made it to switch

swift zodiac
#

I really want Diabolical Box, Unwound Future, Azran Legacy, Miracle Mask and Layton v Wright

quasi raptor
# swift zodiac :(

There is at least a chance that this could make it to switch at some point

swift zodiac
#

UNFORTUNATELY...

quasi raptor
#

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is evidence of that

swift zodiac
quasi raptor
#

Not comparable

#

Well

swift zodiac
#

Speaking of thank fuck I bought this game when I did

#

Paid $30 for it

#

CIB

quasi raptor
#

i just have twilight HD

#

on my wii u

swift zodiac
#

That game is stupid expensive

quasi raptor
#

i bought it for 50

swift zodiac
#

Did it come with the amiibo?

#

Because that's another chunk of change

quasi raptor
#

No

swift zodiac
#

Ah

quasi raptor
#

I didn't need the amiibo

#

just a regular copy in decent condition

swift zodiac
#

Yeah idgaf about amiibos

quasi raptor
#

I care about some

#

I still want the loftwing amiibo for skyward sword

#

i just love how it looks

swift zodiac
quasi raptor
#

Nah

#

well yes but you can still use the statues in that game

#

which are well placed

swift zodiac
#

Ig

quasi raptor
#

its not much of a loss

#

is what im saying

swift zodiac
#

It's a fairly cheap one

quasi raptor
#

yeah ik

#

Saw it at gamestop the other day

swift zodiac
#

But like...

#

Why

#

Cool ass figure

#

But why

quasi raptor
#

lol who gives a shit

#

just bowser in a suit

swift zodiac
#

Fax

quasi raptor
#

I don't care if it's an alternate costume hes still one of the most well known characters ever

#

I'd understand if it was an amiibo for a really obscure series

swift zodiac
#

Ig so

#

Another game I wanted but has now gone out of reach

quasi raptor
#

Yeah

swift zodiac
#

Probably because nobody bought it

quasi raptor
#

i mean yeah

swift zodiac
#

Shit is this the time to buy this game

#

Man Zelda 3DS games have hit lows

quasi raptor
swift zodiac
#

How

quasi raptor
#

A friend just gave it to me
thats it

#

By far one of my luckiest game acquisitions

swift zodiac
#

Lmao

quasi raptor
#

must say im disappointed it's not more expensive now though

swift zodiac
#

I might snatch it up

#

Get it while I can because long term I think 3DS games will be hard to come by

#

And I love these games. Grew up playing them

quasi raptor
#

I was expecting to be able to say stuff like "yeah ive had it for a few years 😎"

#

Doesn't have the same flex energy if it's only $20

swift zodiac
#

My luckiest game acquisition was Pokemon Heart Gold (cart only) for $2 at a garage sale when I was still in elementary school

#

I still have it

#

I intend to buy a box for it as it is one of my most prized possessions next to Pokemon Black 2 (CIB) which I got when it first came out

#

DS Pokemon games are out of control

quasi raptor
#

with the case

swift zodiac
#

I have never actually checked to see if my Heart Gold copy was real or not until today and I can now confirm that it is

#

So that's cool

hey the BBC are entering a partnership with Disney to get Doctor Who on Disney+ globally outside the UK

#

Yo

already in fall guys as of a recent event

quasi raptor

im actually really excited to have the option to watch doctor who

swift zodiac
# spark yarrow

I haven't watched Doctor Who in forever and this looks cool lol

#

Spoilers: ||I heard David Tennant is back 😳||

spark yarrow
#

||Yeah! It's a strange thing because Ncuti Gatwa was already announced as the next Doctor, then the recent episode happened and we get Tennant again, so now Gatwa's gonna be the 15th Doctor rather than 14th||

swift zodiac
#

I wonder what the sonic screwdrivers look like now

#

I haven't seen one since 12th

spark yarrow
#

Here's 13's

swift zodiac
#

That looks like an ancient artifact

#

I'm not sure what to think of it really

spark yarrow
#

I suspect it's a little comfier to hold with that bent section

#

I have heard comparisons to a spraypainted piece of poop though XD

swift zodiac
#

I mean it's got the shape down I guess

spark yarrow
#

I like the sorta grid thing over the crystal, reminds me of an old torch

swift zodiac
#

I can see that, yeah

spark yarrow
#

I can't figure out which screwdriver I like

swift zodiac
#

I love the 10th

spark yarrow
#

I wanted to go look at the screwdrivers...

#

still haven't

the doctor who wiki is dangerous

good think about gotham knights being a bit naff made everyone appreciate the batman arkham games again

quasi raptor
prisma briar
#

you can get so far in the level tree before even touching the story

quasi raptor
#

i beat the story

prisma briar
#

arkham asylum is great for understanding the arkham games and i never really got further than that

quasi raptor
#

i played the main stories of all 4

prisma briar
#

the first question a customer asked me at cex was about arkham origins

#

weird that

quasi raptor
#

ive played the most side missions on Knight

#

as of right now

quasi raptor
#

and did you tell them it was good

prisma briar
#

just about what it was

quasi raptor
#

oh

#

they actually didnt know

prisma briar
#

i hadn't played it but i did my best to explain it was a different studio but is still an "arkham" game

quasi raptor
#

lmao

#

i wouldve said it was good

prisma briar
#

"it good" is a bit vague

quasi raptor
#

True

prisma briar
#

i dunno, they didnt ask me about that so i didnt say, i just wanted to explain about it and where it sits

#

I've only been there about 3 times and had some very odd folk

#

waiting for the day someone asks me about a sonic game

quasi raptor
#

i hate when good games have bad reputations

prisma briar
#

Again, that’s far more than anyone asks for

#

You have to be aware to not overdo it with people, if anyone wants to know more they will ask

#

Like someone came in wanted an SD card, but telling them about micro SD adapters was too much for them, so clearly they didn’t know any bad rep either lol

#

That’s the weird thing is I knew a lot more than I tell people but I can’t knowledge dump because it’s not necessary

At least they got James Gunn to head the DC Film division

#

also i didnt see black adam lol

swift zodiac
#

Me neither

quasi raptor
#

still not sure if i will

#

i heard it has lots of action

swift zodiac
#

I heard it had amounts of slow-mo that would make Zack Snyder proud

#

It's a Dwayne Johnson movie I'm just gonna watch it on HBO Max later

quasi raptor
#

sounds better to me than the fractured state everything is in right now

swift zodiac
quasi raptor
#

like goddamn

swift zodiac
#

The interconnectedness is what really sells Marvel

#

Everything is linked

#

And DC doesn't do that. No wonder their movies aren't as good and they're not making as much money

quasi raptor
#

marvel cracked the code
they kinda made it so that no one can ever find the same magic they did

quasi raptor
#

and they are massive now
the scope of their universe is almost up there with the comics at this point

#

aside from not having mutants yet
which doesnt even bother me that much personally tbh

quasi raptor

@swift zodiac also a bit of news today

#

Aubrey Plaza in the MCU!

i dont know if i shouldve spoiler tagged this but idk its not character details

#

sorry guys

shes gonna kill it

#

that'll be cool to see

Idk who she plays but I'm looking forward to it

quasi raptor
quasi raptor
swift zodiac
#

Yup

#

I need to watch that movie she was in this year

#

Emily The Criminal

quasi raptor
#

She was in a movie called Ingrid goes West that I watched part of

#

BRO

#

literally 30s ago

#

another one

#

@median pulsar i think you watched degrassi?

median pulsar
#

I did indeed

#

Although I never finished the last couple seasons of Degrassi~~: The Next Generation~~ and never watched Degrassi: Next Class

#

I heard Next Class was kind of a different vibe. Some people liked it, but many really didn't. Netflix kinda screwed the pooch with it, I think. I feel like HBO would've done better but who knows.

#

Maybe it was never Netflix's fault though because the last seasons of TNG were also very strongly losing what made it good in the first place.

#

I am heavily invested in the universe, having watched all of DJH, DH, School's Out, and like, several hundred episodes of TNG and I just...stop caring once I hit that point in the series.

#

Literally rewatched all of TNG up to that point last year and stopped watching where I fell off during the original run to the goddamn episode

quasi raptor
#

yeah,
sorry for your loss.

#

i bet a reboot/revival could have been good

median pulsar
#

I want to finish watching but it was just trying to be a different kind of show the last few seasons. It's when shows like The OC and Gossip Girl were popular and they were trying to compete instead of doing what they'd done well for decades

#

I couldn't get into The OC, and I love Gossip Girl, but...that's not what I want from Degrassi, at all. And they didn't do it nearly as well.

quasi raptor
#

Honestly everyone is losing something because of the discovery merger

#

theres so much

median pulsar
#

The entire point of Degrassi is that it's dealing with relatable, mundane, teenage drama. Not rich and famous over-the-top drama.

quasi raptor
#

Honestly I just think the idea of bringing back a show like that for years to come for different generations is really cool

#

The idea that multiple generations have their own version of dagrassi that they grew up with

#

Now, nope

median pulsar
#

Yeah, that's what was so cool about The Next Generation. It was a continuation, you got to see (some of) the older characters as adults, you got to see their kids grow up. There are so many references I didn't really get until I watched Degrassi High.

spark yarrow
median pulsar
#

Especially since it's such a large, ensemble cast, you got to see some more one-dimensional characters be explored a bit more. Like Spike's whole storyline in Degrassi High was literally just "teen pregnancy." But then we got to see her parenting Emma, falling in love with Snake, and having a much broader personality. She was kind of shy and timid in Degrassi High (but passionate with strong values) and really came into her own on TNG.

quasi raptor
#

a few of the characters are actually the children of characters from the original karate kid trilogy
