I could see it more as one of the Lego Dimension packs rather then a stand alone game. Still I think it would have been a good addition to the Lego games either as a stand alone or as part of the Dimension series.
@Groovz I got a laptop last year for Black Friday bought the game on Steam because I loved Sims 3 but it wont start up at all. After doing some googling I come to find that it needs Direct X9 and newer computers dont have it.
You probably installed it at some point and forgot you did.
TMNT Shredder's Revenge (Series X) Picked up the Ultimate Edition on sale, so I will be checking out all the post launch content. Still one of my favorite beat em Ups
World of Warcraft (PC) Still messing around with Alts.
CoD: Black Ops 6 (Series X) Will be checking out the new MP maps with the boys that dropped with season one update.
I remember working next door to a Gamestop and purchasing my DS with a copy of Dawn of Sorrow on my lunch break back in 2005. Still had it up untill a few years ago when it got stolen.
Nostalgia wins here for me. I remember seeing that box art for the first time at my local video store. Something about the box art just grabbed me and I had to rent that game to bad it was always rented out when I went to go rent it.
@splatoonaddict They did do it in the past like with the NES and SNES right before the new systems launched but yeah the 3DS was the last one I can remember and the only reason they did that was cause the bad sales in the beginning. The Switch was more successful so I don't see it happening.
I remember watching the credits years ago to Xmen and X2 and when the name David Hayter popped up as screenwriter I wondered if it was the same David Hayter who was Snake. A few years later at a convention I got to ask him myself which of course he confirmed.
World of Warcraft (PC) After 10 years I finally got my judgement armor set for my Paladin! Other then that I will be doing more of the anniversary stuff and achievement hunting.
Borderlands 3 (Series X) Going to be continuing this with my son. Still enjoying it.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 (Series X) With the addition of Nuketown I couldn't say know to my favorite Multiplayer map and since its on Gamepass it wont cost me as much as it would buying the game just for a few rounds of Nuketown.
@NeonPizza I didn't dig Captain N's version of Mega Man I thought they made him so creepy and Simon ugh. But Pit I liked. I know alot of people liked Captain N's version of Link but for me it was the Super Mario Super Show Link that will be so iconic to me. With the Excuuuse me Princess and all that. I couldn't wait for Fridays when it came to the Mario Super Show. I remember being in a Best Buy and saw The Legend of Zelda DVD set and I had to have it. Still got to this day and every time I watch it I am a kid again.
Black Ops 6 (Series X) Well since it's on Gamepass I figure I try the MP. I am not expecting much since the last few years of CoD have been a garbage. I have also prefered the Black Ops series over the MW series so there's that but I am still not hoping for much.
World of Warcraft (PC) The 20th anniversary is upon us and there is a bunch of stuff to do at the festival. I am working on getting the Judgement armor set so there's that. I also started a new character through the Shadowlands campaign which isn't bad but it just makes me want to play Diablo.
Titanic the Board Game (Tabletop) I recently received this as a birthday gift and will be looking to crack this open with the family tonight.
Borderlands 3 (Series X) Continuing this with my son. We just got to Eden 6
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Switch) Continuing my spooky playthrough for the month of October. I think I might be near the end of this but not quite sure.
Love my Wavebirds. It's honestly one of my favorite controllers of all time. I have about 10 or so mainly bought them from Gamestop on clearance when they were getting rid of their GameCube stuff to make room for the Wii.
Borderlands 3 (Series X) Been playing this the past few weeks with my son. I am starting to really get into it. Currently I am playing a Siren and my son is playing Fl4k. We just got the final piece of the vault key.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Switch) Continuing my playthrough of this game for the spooky season.
Final Fantasy VI Pixal Remaster (Switch) Will be doing a playtrough of quite possibly the best RPG of all time in honor of its anniversary.
Borderlands 3 (Series X) Continuing with my playthrough with my son. Just hit level 20 on my Siren and he's playing Fl4k. Not a huge step up from 2 as I would have liked but it's still enjoyable.
Diablo IV (PC) Now that I finished WoW I was thinking of starting up Diablo IV especially given the time of year it it. Just quite not sure what class I want to play.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Switch) It's that time of year again, the leaves have began to change color, the nights are longer and that means only one thing Castlevania. This year I will be going a playthrough of Portrait of Ruin and hopefully beating it. My favorite of the DS Castlevania's.
@OorWullie That's great to hear. I read an article the other day where the creator went over the pros and cons of starting over or continuing with an older farm when the new update drops.
He said that a con is of course having to do that slog but he also said that there's new stuff that is unlockable in the beginning of the game. Then of course he mentioned with and existing farm you may not have to wait as long to unlock things or have things unlocked already. In other words he said both are viable.
I might just start a new farm to familiarize myself with the game again but I am pretty sure I will be going back to my old farm. Thanks for the update! 😃
World of Warcraft: The War Within (PC) Working my way through the campaign. I am really enjoying the story and can't wait to see what's next. I really am enjoying the Hallowfell zone and is quickly turning into one of my favorite zones ever.
NBA Jam (Super NT) Not sure why but I have been wanting to play this game again so my so and I will do a playthrough as my beloved 90s Bulls.
TMNT: Shredder's Revenge (Switch) Also with my son I will be checking out the new characters. Been a minute since I played this game.
@Zuljaras I loved Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon it's my favorite Far Cry game. I will admit the whole 80s feel did win me over but they really did a great job with it.
@Member_the_game I still talk to my friend but he's way more into PC gaming now where as I went with Nintendo and Xbox nothing against PS just I am not big on their exclusives.
As for the Genesis Mega Drive name being an American, it was always Genesis for me I didn't know that it had a different name till the start of the internet.
Mega Drive to me sounds like some kind of computer part like a suped up disk drive or something lol. Funny that you mentioned the Genesis band when I first heard there name was Genesis I though they names themselves after the console lol. Ah to be a young kid again lol
@Member_the_game LOL I was that way too. I had a SNES and my friend had a Genesis. Every weekend we traded off whose house we were at playing the best of both worlds. Stuff like Super Mario World, Streets of Rage, Link to the Past and Sonic 2. Even when the PS came out it was like that I had a N64 he had a Playstation so we go back and forth playing stuff like GoldenEye, Metal Gear Solid, Mario Kart 64 and Resident Evil. Those were some of my favorite gaming times.
I can believe that to a point. However that seems like a defeated attitude. Back during the 80s/90s they were all about consoles wars when it was just Sega and them. However once Sony entered the picture and blew the N64 away it just seemed that Nintendo just didn't care about being the best seller anymore, and just did what they do.
Not necessary a bad thing especially if they are happy with what they are doing and they certain have enough fans that like them doing their own thing.

@Anti-Matter What does it matter if a character is wearing a shirt or not? Its not like it changes the gameplay or story.
Re: Review: MySims Cozy Bundle (Switch) - An Easygoing, Entertaining Pair Of Sims Spin-Offs
@Groovz I got a laptop last year for Black Friday bought the game on Steam because I loved Sims 3 but it wont start up at all. After doing some googling I come to find that it needs Direct X9 and newer computers dont have it.
You probably installed it at some point and forgot you did.
Re: Review: MySims Cozy Bundle (Switch) - An Easygoing, Entertaining Pair Of Sims Spin-Offs
Great review. Will be picking up this game as I have been wanting to play My Sims again and I never owned it on the Wii.

Re: Blizzard Revives 'Overwatch: Classic' In A New Limited-Time Event

Re: Talking Point: With 'Switch 2' Coming, Will Switch Get A Price Cut?
If they are smart it will but this is Nintendo vary rarely do they do price cuts on their stuff just look at their games for example.
Re: Blizzard Revives 'Overwatch: Classic' In A New Limited-Time Event
It's been a few years since I played Overwatch. This will definitely make me want to return.
