Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@tekoii Yeah sure thing, I wrote it on my calendar so I'm looking forward to it.

@Tyranexx Yeah, I just saw the price too, it is quite a bit of money but as someone who has a backlog problem I can relate to that. I found myself not getting as much RPGs since I have a bad habit of putting them off, lol. (Mainly because many RPGs are incredibly long.) That SM64 Lego set should be fun to put together.

I liked Metroid: Samus Returns too, I haven't played much of the original game but it definitely felt like a brand new game to me. Especially with the new moves you could do.

Samus Returns was pretty much a brand new game, and much harder than the GB original.

That Remind's me, I need to finish Metroid on the Snes.

I checked my games library list from each machine I have before I make purchase planning.

I have collected 33 PS3 games.
I have collected 51 Wii USA games.
I have collected 16 Wii U USA games.
I have collected 9 Gamecube USA games.

During year 2021, they are my focus to build the games library quantity.

I almost forgot to pick PS4 & Switch games during this year as whenever I spotted Rare Gamecube / Wii / Wii U USA games from Tokopedia, I must put them as main priority to get first before getting PS4 / Switch games. As the result, I have to pending until 6 - 9 months to continue building my PS4 / Switch games.
I didn't pick PSP and GBA games at all during this year, I might add with at least 2 NDS games and 2 Japanese 3DS games before end of year 2021. Still unsure if I can purchase an OG XBOX machine USA version from Tokopedia to play my DDR Ultramix 1 & 2, Carmen Sandiego and Spongebob Light Camera Pants. Wii Japan machine was also in my consideration but it clashed with my planning to get Ring Fit Adventures in late December 2021.
So many things I want to buy, so confusing to decide which should I pick first.

For next shopping time, I will pick 3 PS4 games + 1 Gamecube USA game (if the game still available from the seller) + 1 PS3 game. Hopefully Megaman Network Transmission Gamecube USA is still available until my salary day. 🤞

If I was to say the nintendo switch was made for the end times as the ultimate game streaming device(for when the big three come together and make their games avaliable to stream on any platform, most suitably the switch), who would believe me?

@DannyBoi
Streaming games is a HELL NO from me.
I stick on traditional way to play video games with cartridges or disc.
I don't want a future with Streaming games.
#physicalforever 🤟

@DannyBoi I mean...you're probably not wrong

@Anti-Matter Unfortunately, it is the future. Eventually, and a lot sooner than we all think, physical will die.

@DannyBoi
We can stop the future like that.
That's a future i will hate forever.
And i will not join into Streaming games party whatsoever.
Physical games will never die.
Me and other peoples out there still keep supporting physical games.
#physicalforever 🤟

Holy ***** those Deathloop reviews. Had no interest, but ended up preordering it for the PC based on the reaction.

@Anti-Matter it's the unfortunate truth. Besides which, do you really think it's a coincidence that the switch is the only console where certain games are only playable via streaming? The switch really was and is made for a streaming future.

@DannyBoi
I don't even care with games that need streaming internet connection 100% to play. I will never want to play with them.
I just only want to play my games Offline with legit physical media. No streaming at all.
Streaming games is a really terrible idea ever in my opinion.
And please don't try so hard to convince me with streaming games idea.
My answer will be only one:
#physicalforever 🤟

@NintendoByNature yes, unfortunately. And I mean, as I said to antimatter, the switch is basically made for streaming. That's why it launched in such a basic state( no Web browser, no save backup, no messaging system, bland and hard to use Eshop, bad battery life on launch model) the list goes on and on. That's why Nintendo are pushing the switch so much, they want it in as many hands as possible before the streaming future arrives.

@Anti-Matter I'm not trying to convince you, I'm telling you the future is streaming. I want to stay physical, but at some point soon, if anyone wants to stay physical, they will have to rely on the enormous back catalogue of physical games. Because from that point on, there will be no more physical.

@DannyBoi I think there's a long way to go before streaming is the norm - the infrastructure just isn't there yet. I've tried Xbox cloud on a few different devices and it's mostly unplayable due to drop-outs and lag and my internet connection isn't terrible.
I think even digital only is at least another generation away TBH - with Microsoft championing the backwards compatibility of their consoles it would be a brave move for them to remove an optical drive next gen and Sony has a vested interest in Blu-Ray so they likely won't drop that either. I think Nintendo still sell more physical vs digital (just) so they're unlikely to be the first to drop physical for Switch 2 or whatever comes next for them, although carts are more expensive than disc to manufacture and Nintendo are known for making some odd decisions so you never know!

@DannyBoi
When the future is Streaming games as norm and no physical at all, that will be my time to leave from video gaming hobby and back to enjoy my purchased games in physical media.
And i will hate the future like that since then.
Also, i don't play every games.
I just only play certain games that suitable for me or i have interest about.
My backlogs are mostly from 2000's era games.
They are perfect to keep accompany me.

"I'm telling you the future is streaming."

The will be NO streaming games in the future.
We will fight to stop that future like that.

@dmcc0 Yes. To be fair PS now, Xbox x cloud, can and do struggle. But take a look at the games playable by streaming on switch, they have much less lag and disconnections than other services. If all games could be streamed on switch using ubitus(cloud provider that streamed games on switch use) then excellent performance.

@Anti-Matter I HATE the fact that the future is streaming. But when it comes, have to make a choice. Either join it or stay physical. I commend you for your choice. My choice? Hold on to physical as long as possible and then go full streaming.

I managed to preorder a Gawr Gura Nendoroid!!!!! Now I just gotta wait a whole year for it to get here😂

@DannyBoi
My choice is 100% Stay physical, No streaming games at all.
