When a game has a demo it increases my likelihood of purchase by about 1000%. I always want a demo but in reality if every game had one then I’d be bankrupt.
Various gran turismo screens go red and play a sort of mini drum solo. I’ve seen those screens and heard that jingle thousands upon thousands of times over the last 25 years.
I ran home from work. Jumped on a bus to my nearest city at the time. Got to hmv minutes before closing picked this up for £20. Got home and for some reason I kneeled down on my carpet and leaned on my bed thinking I was just going to see how it ran and then find a more comfy position but for some reason I completed the whole game in this weird lurched position.
I’ve owned every nintendo console from snes onwards except the switch 2 and tbh it’s sold a lot better than I thought it would. I still cant figure out who or why people buy it. There is very little incentive for me to upgrade other than to play switch 1 games which I couldnt as they didnt run properly with their poor framerates.
The main thin stopping me is the whole thing about it not even running games natively and instead having to emulate and thats where all the jankyness come from.
Clinging to the top 40 in the same way poop clings to my dogs bum hole via a long strand of hair. No I'm joking I actually enjoyed prime 4 and intend to go back to it very soon for 100% and maybe a wee speedrun attempt. I also enjoy all the hate it gets as some of it is funny and deserved lol.
I hate pornographic (or whatever you want to call it) content in gaming (or any media tbh) but I also don't like censorship but tbf this looks like it’s been done fairly well.
Reminds me of the xbox 1 (what do we even call the xbox 1 if they later came out with the xbox one?) and xbox 360 compatibility page. I expected it to be as smooth as gb-gbc-gba or gcn-wii wii-wii u. It’s disappointing that it’s a bit of a lottery.
It’s always so heartbreaking when a sloppy money spinner like that sells well. I’m so sorry to people who are getting into pokemon these days. I can promise you the games used to be so good.
@Supervideoman22 I agree. All halloween related things ideally should release on early in October as possible. Silver Bullet comes out on the 30th but I think earlier in the month would have been better.
I feel sorry for those getting into pokemon in the last few generations. I promise you that pokemen wasnt always a broken mess and was actually amazing at one point.
My mate came over and we played demon tilt back when it came out. He smashed the shoulder buttons as fast as he could and the game just kept racking up score forever. He would pause to have a rest and go again. I never played it after this and his “technique” doesnt work on any other pinball game, I have loads of them.
