Phew...
I have finished all the mission in Disney Universe PS3.
It just only a half journey because in order to unlock all the Disney outfits, you have to replay the same place again to unlock the other half part.
To finish part 1 / 2 / 3 of each world was really tedious. It took approximate 10 minutes to finish the first part before proceed to the second part until the third part was rescued one Disney character.
Three sub worlds for 1 level and it took 30 - 40 minutes to finish.
I was literally almost fallen asleep to finish the task given, it was really... Tedious. 😑
I gave it 5 /10 for put me in asleep during playing.
Not a bad game but tedious and boring.
I still have another half part to be finished 100%, i will try to replay the same places to unlock the other outfits when i'm in the mood to play Disney Universe again.

@Sunsy
I saw Disney+ from PS4 Store.
How do i subscribe Disney+ from PS4 ?
How much money i have to pay to subscribe Disney+ ?
And after i paid, how do i enjoy the movies from Disney+ on my PS4 ?

Oh, sorry. I think you don't have PS4 but i think the way you subscribed Disney+ on other platform was kinda similar.

@Sunsy Ah yeah I still remember those, I had Super Mario Bros. from that Classic NES Series line. Though I no longer have it. Which is fine with me, I have plenty of other ways to play the original SMB anyway. lol

Absolutely, I'm really glad they had backwards compatibility on the 3DS. At least with their handhelds, Nintendo's been generally pretty good with providing just that. I still have a lot of those DS games, I even went ahead and did a casual playthrough of New Super Mario Bros.

@Anti-Matter Afraid I wouldn't know. All I have are Nintendo systems and PC. I'd assume it's like Hulu. I sign up via PC, then just log-in on the app. I never signed up for streaming via a console before. Sorry.

@MarioLover92 Indeed, it's like Sonic 1 or classic Doom. They can be played just about anywhere, in SMB's case, most Nintendo systems on either NSO, virtual consoles, or re-releases (I have Super Mario All-Stars on Wii, albeit the Nintendo Selects version).

Cool, awhile back I was playing Sonic Colors DS and Rush Adventure. Just wish they did that more. I like being able to play Wii games on my Wii U, then play them in the living room where my Wii is setup. Having the Wii in the living room setup is handy when I have to wait for laundry, or long cooking, and want to play Sonic or Super Mario 3, or something.

@MarioLover92
Oh, i want to reply your answer about Megaman Star Force on This or That thread, um... It was sad to see Megaman Star Force didn't really get great feedbacks from the fans as i personally like the armor design of Star Force from head to toe and with storyline concept about surfing in electromagnet wave. I wonder what make Star Force was the least favorite by Megaman fans (both games and anime) ?
I was so lucky to get one Rockman Star Force Pegasus NDS (I said Rockman because i got the Japanese version of Star Force Pegasus) from Tokopedia with very cheap price.

@Sunsy Nice! It's been a while since I played the Sonic Rush games, though I did get very close to finishing the first two, but never did. I could never beat the final bosses, and the last Chaos Emerald in the first Sonic Rush was really hard to get. I never had Sonic Colors for the DS though, I only have the Wii version. I did get to play the demo of Colors DS via the Wii's Nintendo Channel over a decade ago, at least.

@Anti-Matter For Mega Man Star Force, I was really only talking about the gameplay and stuff. More specifically its battle system, I somehow found it more limiting compared to the Mega Man Battle Network games on the GBA. I will admit that I only played the first MMSF, and it's been years since I played it. I don't have it anymore, however. I'll also admit that Mega Man's character design in the MMSF series is pretty cool - I only wish I liked the games themselves more. If you're getting enjoyment from the game, that's great, more power to you.

After a long time of being pestered by my brother about it, I finally decided to watch The Office.

It’s been fun.

@Eel that's one I've often been pestered about too. As well as breaking bad among a couple others. I'm one of those wierd people that avoids popular shows everyone tells me to watch. I like discovering on my own or rewatching old shows like family guy, married with children, or some food show. I'm not a deep thinker haha.

@Eel Only watched a few episodes, But man is it a funny show.

There’s been a certain level of “second hand embarrassment” humor, which I’m not a fan of, but I’m liking the characters and most of the jokes.

@Tyranexx
All the Ghibli anime have around 15 - 20 fps movement if you look at them carefully.
I mean the Ghibli style that differ from other anime.

That's one thing about me, people usually don't pester me about watching shows. Maybe because the character shirts I wear kind of gives away the kind of shows and movies I like, so I guess most figure that I tend to watch mostly family friendly cartoons and animation. I do watch some live action shows.

@MarioLover92 Confession, I don't think I ever got all the emeralds in any of the Sonic Rush games. Most of the time, I enjoy playing them. I miss that Nintendo Channel, I downloaded lots of demos to try on DS, and watched a lot of the video features on there too. I got reminded the other day from a friend, they had some of the Directs on the eShop for both Wii U and 3DS (though, not the most recent).

@Anti-Matter Ah, so that's normal. I admit I need to catch up on Studio Ghibli films. There are plenty I want to see, but so far I've only watched Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro. Towards the top of my watch list would be Ponyo, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies, and Kiki's Delivery Service.

Woah. I spent the whole day binge watching (or listening to…) The Office, in Spanish. I then decided to watch a short YouTube video in English and somehow I had this weird feeling of unfamiliarity.

I think I accidentally turned the English listening part of my brain off.

Either that or watching a tv show for over 8 hours straight fried my brain a little.

@Eel I too watched the Office last year for the first time and I loved it!

The best parts were with Michael. And I loved the "offensive" humor that it is so rare to see nowadays.

Glad you're enjoying XC2, @Tyranexx .... Do let me know if you play FFVII, too! I'm sure we can help with anything needed in that

I felt something different with my gaming mood recently.
My hype with Nintendo Switch slowly decreased as i still worried with my Switch's fan sound.
It made loud noise when playing ACNH in docked but.... it wasn't really noisy when i played Go Vacation in docked mode. 😕
That was strange...
Added by my motivation to add more Switch games was very low during year 2020 and 2021 (maybe year 2022 still have low motivation too) due to my hype on building PS3 games since December 2019, i slowly switched back to "PlayStation" guy after i played a lot of PS3, PS2 and PS4 games during pandemic, but i still do care with my other Nintendo games.
It just i lost motivation to add many Switch games lately.

Question for all of you.
Have you ever lost some gaming appetite or your interest in certain video game machines due to something else that stole your attention ?

Nope. Ever since the NES when I started gaming I have never felt any gaming fatigue. Even worse it is getting stronger.

The only things I "worry" now are if games will have a physical release or if a new hardware revision will be available that makes the older one less appealing and makes me regret my purchase

Stupid stuff like that

We had a bit of a COVID scare yesterday. Someone from the upper class tested positive and I got identified as a close contact. After getting a PCR and isolating in the video game room for ten hours, I was relieved to find my test came back negative. Although I haven't missed much, being negative won't undo all the hassle and stress from the time of the test. What a day.

@Zuljaras As it happens, No Way Home was the only Spider-Man film I remember watching from start to finish, let alone in cinemas. First few movies from Raimi's trilogy I remember watching as a kid but... I never got into the Webb duology, and flat-out didn't care about the first two Tom Holland ones. I'm very happy I took the chance on this one though, I felt like it was gonna be at least a fun but formulaic and predictable movie but even then I was wrong. It was a fun, intelligent movie that kept me guessing every time.

Didn't see the post-credits but read Michael Mando was in it. I haven't even played Far Cry (not for me), only saw the meme with him and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

@Fizza Precisely. The duality of Green Goblin with Norman Osborn was the most compelling thing about the character for me. I like how he immediately smashed the Goblin mask when entering 01's universe, meaning we'd see more of the grotesqueries of the character. The callbacks were so good even I, a casual fan with no true understanding of the films, got them. The lines from the other Spider-Men were superb. The back crack, the “I’m something of a scientist myself,”… perfect.

@Snatcher Don’t worry too hard and you’ll enjoy the movie. That strategy worked well enough for me while I was trying to avoid spoilers. All in all, the only way to get spoiled is to do something incredibly stupid.

@Sunsy I imagined you had, so my bad. Hopefully you enjoy Encanto when the time eventually comes, I thought it was quality, Luca similarly. As for Turning Red, I’m really on the fence about that one. It feels like such a strange Luca-esque movie that feels like it’s trying way too hard. I’ll obviously wait until I say more.

@Tyranexx I changed my mind (in terms of speed-up mode and “god” mode). I’m just in it (for FF7 at least) for the concept of the original, to see what made it so good and how parts of it can be compared to the Remake. I’m gonna crack on either way. Addressing your Xenoblade 2 commentary;

• Reason I said Nia’s my second favourite character at the time was because you didn’t run into Zeke, who is actually No. 2. Really charming guy, reminds me of me a little with how utterly hapless and reckless he is. He’s a decent party member from experience, with some fun Arts. His voice acting’s terrific too.
• Aaaaahh, you didn’t even get to the stomach! Yeah, that was more what I was thinking of when I was talking about Uraya. That whole area is so pretty, I’m just a little mad the game doesn’t have a photo mode.
• Vandham’s death was a shame. I’m glad it happened, as it raised the emotional weight of the scene, but Rex… being a teen, is frustratingly naive and brash, trying to exact instant revenge and nearly paying the price. Mythra’s attitude was pretty awful though, so she made a pretty rubbish first impression for me!
• When you put the Flesh Eaters like that, I agree, it was very well thought out. I believe only Flesh Eater Blades can “drive” other Blades, since they have part of a “human heart”. Tell me, what would be the opposite?
• It’s a slow burn but it can and will get good. Chapters 4 and 5 were part of said slow burn though. Thanks for the update!
