@jancotianno We didn't have the same first video game console. Mine was the Odyssey. Not the one that came out after the 2600. The one that had plastic overlays you placed on your television screen and controlled a white block around the screen.
@jancotianno Wow, it must be hard being 38! I'm impressed! I'm 51 and my first video game came out before the Atari 2600. Are you just as impressed as I? Graphics don't matter, gameplay does. Don't fool yourself.
@jancotianno Listen, I've been playing video games for the entire evolution of them. Graphics don't matter. When you grew up with Pong and the Atari 2600, knowing those were the best graphics you could get outside of an arcade machine, then I'll believe you're on to something.
@Simplefolk If graphics matter more than gameplay to you, I don't know why you even bother gaming. You'd be better off buying art books and such, rather than games.
I've got the physical of this. I haven't played it yet though. I bought it because I hate cats, and I never buy games about cats because of this. I figured I'd buy something I wouldn't normally buy and see what happens. Glad it got a good review!
@Apostasy Not my fault if he doesn't understand that the 1st definition you provided is the ACTUAL JOB of the 2nd definition you provided. You're just strengthening my initial argument. He certainly could have stumbled upon a white knight better suited to the job than yourself.
Not interested in game pass anyway. This was just another one of those stupid rumors that went nowhere. Like most game rumors. The rumor industry here is like a room full of old ladies at a bingo hall.
Being this game first came to the Switch as a purchased game rather than F2P, I can't help but wonder if the people that did purchase it digital or physical actually get these updates. Does anybody know?
@OldManHermit Thank you very much. I guess I'll just replay Mark of the Ninja and Cyber Shadow while I wait for something a bit better. Really appreciate your input!
@BloodNinja Hey bro, have you tried Within the Blade? The only review I watched said it was pretty bland. Was wondering if someone that may have played it had something different to say.
I like the way it looks, but I don't do kickstarters unless I know the company and their reputation. I probably would, but too many people have been burnt when all they did was support something in good faith. I feel bad for the honest companies that lose out because of this though.

Re: Poll: Do You Call Handhelds Like Game Boy And Nintendo DS 'Consoles'?
I just call them handhelds. Never put much thought into it beyond that.

Re: Review: Greak: Memories of Azur - A Gorgeous Platformer Crying Out For Co-op
@zool I tell it like it is, but you can always guarantee I'm backed with facts, not fiction.
Re: Head Of Xbox Shuts Down Idea Of Game Pass Coming To Other Platforms (Again)
Not interested in game pass anyway. This was just another one of those stupid rumors that went nowhere. Like most game rumors. The rumor industry here is like a room full of old ladies at a bingo hall.
Re: Review: Greak: Memories of Azur - A Gorgeous Platformer Crying Out For Co-op
@zool I'm 100% correct. I'm guessing you're not a big fan of the thesaurus or dictionaries. Because if you were, you'd know I'm correct.
Re: Review: Greak: Memories of Azur - A Gorgeous Platformer Crying Out For Co-op
@zool By definition, a game reviewer IS A CRITIC. You make no sense at all.
Definition of reviewer
: one that reviews
especially : a writer of critical reviews
Re: Crysis Remastered Gets Switch Retail Release Date
I bought the first discounted, so definitely double dipping for the physical.

Re: Moonrider Is A Project That Has 16-Bit Strider And Shinobi Vibes
@BloodNinja You too man!
Re: Moonrider Is A Project That Has 16-Bit Strider And Shinobi Vibes
@BloodNinja I'm the same way LOL! That's why I asked.
Re: Moonrider Is A Project That Has 16-Bit Strider And Shinobi Vibes
@OldManHermit Thank you very much. I guess I'll just replay Mark of the Ninja and Cyber Shadow while I wait for something a bit better. Really appreciate your input!
Re: Moonrider Is A Project That Has 16-Bit Strider And Shinobi Vibes
@BloodNinja I had thought the same, but you never know. I saw a ninja and had hopes, because... well... ninja!
Re: Moonrider Is A Project That Has 16-Bit Strider And Shinobi Vibes
@BloodNinja Hey bro, have you tried Within the Blade? The only review I watched said it was pretty bland. Was wondering if someone that may have played it had something different to say.
Re: Moonrider Is A Project That Has 16-Bit Strider And Shinobi Vibes
All I had to hear was Strider and Shinobi and I was interested!
Re: Spiritfarer Physical Edition Now Available To Order
Mine comes in the mail tomorrow.
Re: EB Games Canada To Rebrand To GameStop By The End Of This Year
I don't support GameStop. Their practices are too shady for me. I'm not in Canada, but I'm only about 1 1/2 hours from the border.
Re: Ori's Physical Games Are Getting A New Two-In-One Release On Nintendo Switch

Re: Spindle Is A Zelda-Like Where You Play The Role Of Death... And A Pig

Re: Video: The Addams Family: Mansion Mayhem Gets A Spooky New Gameplay Trailer

Re: Video: The Addams Family: Mansion Mayhem Gets A Spooky New Gameplay Trailer
@HotGoomba I'd just ignore them. Seems they had a bad day and want to take it out on you, bud.
