@Eagly Well, hope you feel better soon.

@Eagly So, I found out what one of my Christmas presents is, Tales of Vesperia for the X-box 360, however I asked for the Definitive version for Switch, as I don't really like home consoles. Any advice?

@Eagly Honestly you seem to be obsessed with Amazon as I never even mentioned it. Also, my parents don't really use Amazon. I just happened to find it when putting something away in their room.

@Eagly Wouldn't that seem kind of ungrateful of though? To be honest, I wouldn't dare seem rude. I guess I'll try subtly reminding them.

@Eagly Yeah, I heard about that little fiasco. That's why I asked you, because you had had a similar experience recently.

When it comes to gifts from parents, it’s best not to snoop.

Let their gifts be a reflection of them, and appreciate them for that.

@Anti-Matter There's a billboard on top of the building from FORZA. The image is funny because normally you hit the building to get the board.

What about the lady that eats live seafood.

@Eagly That's really messed up

@Eagly Oh no, they do know the difference. Actually, I'm not even sure how they knew I wanted it in the first place as it wasn't in the Christmas list, I emailed to them. I guess maybe they just heard me talking about its if that's the case I probably just said Tales of Vesperia instead.
Also, that eating a bat thing is messed up, I guess some people don't care as long as they get their 5 seconds of fame.

I love that image, cause I'm a big fan of Forza Horizon 4.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko
I personally never like any realistic racing games. They are boring, what is so fun to drive a car as smooth as possible without drama ?
I only play Mario Kart style games such as Mario Kart games, Race with Ryan, Team Sonic Racing, Modnation Racers, etc since they are cartoonish racing games with items to smack on opponents and I prefer cartoonish graphic over than ultra realistic graphics. And that's why you will not find Forza, Gran Turismo, Initial D, any realistic racing games from my games collection if you remembered from my games collection photos I posted here.

I would just keep it and at some point trade it in. You can always buy the Switch version with money you get for Christmas. You don't want to hurt their feelings nor lose their trust by snooping. I can't remember how many bad games I got as a kid at Christmas or birthdays cause my parents didn't have a clue, but they always meant well.

True store every birthday, Christmas my Grandma would get me one of those Tiger electronic handhelds because she knew my brother and I liked video games but didn't know anything about video games. We usually played them once then throw them in a dresser drawer never to touch them again. It wasn't till we were adults that we ended up giving them all to Goodwill.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Me too

@Tasuki That's probably good advice. That said it has a really low trade-in value.

@Anti-Matter Forza is way different from a sim racer.

In Forza 3 (and 5) you can race on a giant Hot Wheels track. In 4 you can race against Trains, Planes and Lego cars, and even go to a Lego world.

Also what racing game let's you drive a Peel p50 and make it look like a police car.

Been on a Xenoblade grind lately. Started what could be my… 8th or 9th Xenoblade 1 save file. I’m surprised how well it holds up despite having came out in 2010. As much as I love 3, 1 has this streamlinedness to it.

@TheJGG Yeah, I also started a new game in Xenoblade: DE. Although I got a bit of burn-out because I was doing every quest, I'm currently at Frontier Village and will probably get back to it tomorrow. Who's in your party?

@Kermit1
But alas, I don't play XBOX ONE and Series X games. XBOX is literally have no games I want to buy as the majority 3rd party games are exactly same as PS4 / PS5 version so I can build my PS4 / PS5 games library instead.
I prefer cartoonish racing games than ultra realistic racing games.
And for my PS5 games, I have considered Paw Patrol Grand Prix and Animal Kart Racers for my cartoonish racing games.

@Anti-Matter To each his own.

My brother is a HUGE Xbox fan, I've never played or touched a PlayStation in my life.
