My PS5 was $500, and I have buyer's remorse. I just upgraded to the Switch OLED by buying it used for $250 because my launch day Switch was starting to die. Worth every. Single. Penny. $300-$400 is the sweet spot.
@GregamanX Oh my gosh, same. I was so confused when everyone said the game was amazing. I thought I was on crazy pills when I played it and hated every minute of it.
Unpopular opinion warning. Honest to goodness, I absolutely hate this game. I enjoy a good puzzle game, but I have never been more angry at a game than this one. Instead of feeling smart, this game feels like it's taunting the player. It's one of the few games I have hidden from myself in my Steam library so I don't think about it.
I'm sure this looked so cool at the time, and it still does, but I am so tired of floating heads posters and box art. It's one of the most overdone designs these days.
@Nontendo_4DS My thoughts exactly. Atlus is never going to stop their re-releasing strategy. I've learned to never buy Atlus games until they've been out for 2-3 years.
Seeing as how Link's Awakening Remake was one of my all-time favorite games on Switch, I lost my gosh dang mind when I saw this reveal. Easily a day-one purchase for me, possibly pre-order worthy.
I want to pick up this game, but I'm honestly mad that it even exists. I own the original, but I never got around to playing it, and now it's magically "not the best version." Atlus exploiting thier fans into double-dipping needs to stop. I can't bring myself to get excited for Persona 6, or any of their games, because I'm going to have to wait 2-3 years for the full price "best" version to re-release. There's a part of me that hopes this game's sales drop off a cliff to teach Atlus to stop this tactic.
Take Push Sqaure's reviews with a grain of salt. These days, the only games they give 9s or 10s to are AAA third-person action games, preferably if guns are involved. Rarely, if ever, do they give higher scores to RPGs or indie games.
This show was quite dull to sit through, but I stuck around for Day of the Devs right after. That show was amazing! It was filled with so many quirky games that were made with love and passion.
My main takeaway from today, NEVA is a day one purchase, without hesitation.
I might get some crap for saying this, but I think both God of War and God of War: Ragnarok needed some substantial trimming. Both games should've only been 15 hours long or less. The first game was 20 hours, and they could have easily cut 5 of those, but the sequel was so incredibly bloated with filler that they should've cut 10-15 hours from the 25-30 hour campaign.
What an absolute disappointment. Hi-fi Rush is one of the best games of this entire generation. AAA gaming is cursed and stupid that they would kneecap one of the most creative and fun games in years.
There's a super easy work-around on Switch. Create an account set in a region that the game hasn't been delisted. Buy it, download it, and then play it on your regular account.
I never bought it or played it. When it came out I thought, "This looks good, but like a test run." If the sequel builds upon the first game and doesn't run and look like a GameCube game, then I'll definitely pick up the sequel.
I'm torn on this. I emulate games all the time, but only those games and systems that I can no longer obtain games or the console at a retail store. Like, I think NES through WiiU and 3DS are fair game, but it you can buy the game, you should buy it and support the original publisher and creators. Current gen games and consoles really shouldn't be on the table when it comes to emulation.
It's true that Yuzu hasn't done anything illegal, but they definitely made it easy for Nintendo to lose countless sales due to piracy and using their software.

If it does happen, they'll only get marked down to $40, not $20.

I have had the worst luck with joycon. I have lost count of the number of joysticks I've replaced in my joycon. PLEASE bring on the new hardware.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Has Topped 500,000 Sales In Just Three Days
@Nontendo_4DS My thoughts exactly. Atlus is never going to stop their re-releasing strategy. I've learned to never buy Atlus games until they've been out for 2-3 years.

Re: Review: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance (Switch) - Even Better Than The Stellar Original
This game has been sitting in my backlog for over a year. Probably should have waited. 😅

Re: Talking Point: Which Games Were Just The Perfect Length?
I might get some crap for saying this, but I think both God of War and God of War: Ragnarok needed some substantial trimming. Both games should've only been 15 hours long or less.

Re: Rumoured 'Hi-Fi Rush' Switch Port In Doubt As Microsoft Culls Tango Gameworks And Other Studios
What an absolute disappointment. Hi-fi Rush is one of the best games of this entire generation. AAA gaming is cursed and stupid that they would kneecap one of the most creative and fun games in years.

@chardir I was playing it this morning... and I can confirm this is no trick. This is essentially game design perfection.
Re: Review: Balatro (Switch) - Devilishly Compelling Cardplay, And A Clear GOTY Contender
That's two 10/10 game in one week (Pentiment and Balatro). I'm excited to see if Unicorn Overlord will makes it three.
Re: Poll: So, Have You Finished Pokémon Legends: Arceus Yet?
I never bought it or played it. When it came out I thought, "This looks good, but like a test run." If the sequel builds upon the first game and doesn't run and look like a GameCube game, then I'll definitely pick up the sequel.
