AI should be used only for repetitive tasks that have nothing to do with creativity.

@DennyCrane Exactly!

“I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.”

@DennyCrane Older games have so much appeal to me. Maybe it is nostalgia but the industry is going in the wrong direction.

Just before the big vacation I will treat myself with Quake, Soul Reaver 1 and Octopath Traveler 0.

Have a nice gaming weekend and we will probably "see" each other in 2026. Happy holidays people!!!

I think they should pass a law or something that forces publishers to disclose the build version that is printed on the physical media so the buyer is aware before any purchase.

And if there is a re-print it will help tracking the physical media with the better build. It is terrible to shop blindly in search of re-prints.

Publishers get off too easy these days.

@Tasuki It is indeed GREAT game! The series peaked in the DS titles for sure! Yes Symphony of the Night is the masterpiece, but the replicability just from gameplay mechanics is unmatched in the DS titles

This year I beat Bloodlines/New Generation for the very first time and it felt great. Super CV 4 is still my preferred CV from that era.

Portrait just made the characters from a really old and quite forgotten game even more awesome!

With the arrival of the Castlevania Dominus Collection for the Switch I am once again deep in the trilogy!

This week I already 100%ed Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow and now I am on Portrait of Ruin.

No matter how many times I play those game they never get old to me

And on the side if time permits (I REALLY doubt that) I will play Space Marine 2 and Shadowgate Classic

Happy gaming everyone!!!

I am getting it on PS5 for ("obvious" reasons) and I am going to enjoy every bit of it

People need to stop expecting anything serviceable from Bethesda/Microsoft.

@The_Nintendo_Expat I decided to start with Quake 1 as I noticed that my LRG copy has a 2 page booklet that is just little piece of story.

I got the printing dimensions perfectly and I printed a test page and it fits so well!

This is my first sketch to get the feeling of the Quake 1 bestiary:

@The_Nintendo_Expat I just started to prepare my template file

I measured it to be 8.5 cm width to 10.5 cm height

While waiting for my Castlevania Dominus Collection (Switch) to arrive next week I will be playing Project Warlock as it is really fun DooM style retro shooter with progression elements

On the side I will start The Last of Us Part I and play few skirmish matches in StarCraft 64.

Have a fun weekend!

I thought about drawing and writing secrets about many games in booklets and placing them in their cases.

For example the codes for the DooM 3 lockers. Or puzzle solving of various games. Tips how to get the best endings etc.

But my printer is black and white so I have to be monochromatically creative

For now it is just an idea

It is not looking good.

I still do not have a Switch 2. I love the physical aspect of having a console. The Switch 2 took the GKC route. If I want to play games in digital format I will play them on PC or my Steam Deck.

I will be getting the Switch 1 version just for the physical edition of the game.

@jetsetradion If resell ability is the only + of the GKC then by all means buy it but many people buy games physically to own them. To be more specific to own a playable build of the game on physical media.

I do not want to buy their version of a licence attached to a DRM plastic. I want a tangible BUILD of the software.

They push this crap to simply control the content.

Example of that is Bethesda's (Microsoft) latest releases. They push Denuvo in their games and that is why they do not even put a playable build on the printed discs. I can't support that in any shape or form.

Oh and I forgot that those digital releases only allow the devs and (corporations) to "Release now and fix later". This is how they mask incompetence and greed. And everyone wonders "OMG why people pirate games! Think of the poor multibillion companies!!!".

"What five games would make your 'Perfect Console'?"

I think the closer thing to perfect in terms of games and reliability for me is the Switch 1:
1. Castlevania Classics Collection
2. Castlevania Advance Collection
3. Castlevania Dominus Collection
4. The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
5. Dark Souls Remastered

And all of those are perfect on their tiny cartridges

@obijuankanoobie Yes those are the steelbooks for the games

I am playing Symphony of the Night ... again. It never gets old! Masterpiece!

And something new for me, Space Marine 2, although I have never played 1 or any Warhammer game before. The game looks amazing and filled with lore!

On the side I will play Skyward Sword

Happy gaming!

@Kroko They contain playable builds on them that can be installed offline.

But this is also about to change as we see discs from Microsoft and Ubisoft that do not contain playable game data on them.

ANY physical edition that requires servers to function/be playable is NOT physical edition. It is a plastic DRM.

@ShadLink Installation is fine. The reason to have a physical edition is to be able to play the game offline when you get it.

Installing is done with discs because they have slow reading speeds, so the question is why didn't Nintendo made installation cartridges? Because it is easier to control the content with servers

ANY physical edition that requires servers to function is NOT physical edition. It is a plastic DRM.

@H3X3NH4MM3R Maybe they should rename it to "DRM Plastic Release" It is more appropriate.

@TYRANACLES trial and error. After that I could beat the game every 15 minutes

Awesome times!

After DooM (2016) next is DooM Eternal to be 100%ed

On the side I will have God of War and Ocarina of Time 3D.

And recently I got a really nostalgic game for me, that many people really hate. Spider-Man The Return of the Sinister Six. I loved beating that game when I was a kid

Happy gaming!

"Companies really don't care if gamers pirate their games!"

Trust my source, bro

"So we would love to do a physical version, but it wouldn't be a Game-Key."

Music to my ears

Sacred 2 Remaster shipment was delayed so ...
It is shooter weekend!
After DooM 3 last week I am continuing with DooM 2016. I am aiming for 100%

On the side I have Wolfenstein Youngblood (even if I heard that it is a bad game) and Painkiller (the original, the good one, not that crap they released recently) on the Steam Deck!

Have a great gaming weekend people!!!

Human Made all the way!!!

@Nep-Nep-Freak Well it can do anything the Steam Deck can do so I play my GOG games on the Deck.

And the best part is the SteamOS, you can play DRM-free games from GOG.

Also that controller looks amazing!

@crazybenjamin well it is either incompetence or pushing to all digital so they can control market even more. If data is on the media it is harder to delist it in the future.

You want to tell me Nintendo R&D division did not thought about the slow reading speeds or the "expensive" storage options?

Also installation from the cartridge is something that has been happening since the Switch 1. Todaty I has a system update installed from the cartridge offline so my The House of the Dead could run. So it is possible but they don't want to do it, but act like they can't. Hmmm.

I bet that keeping servers is more expensive in the long run than printing cartridges with actual data on them.

They want to boost the sales of the game key cards with Pokemon because they know that even a turd with the Pokemon logo on it will sell well

Nintendo missed the golden opportunity to introduce the Installation Game Cards that functions like a disc but no, they are idiots.

Continuing with DooM 3 (because I rushed to finish Fallout 3 on the Steam Deck)!
In the meantime I will play little Tormented Souls and God of War 1.
I have to do it quickly because Sacred 2 Remaster is coming next week and it will CONSUME me!!!

Happy birthday!

As a HUGE Resident Evil fan, I couldn't care less about how they promote their games/products.

All I want are good RE games and amazing physical editions.

For me DooM 3, I started it again to make a nice screenshot journey

Then Castlevania Symphony of the Night along with Super Castlevania IV!

And I will spare little time in Bram Stoker's Dracula on the Mega Drive!

If Capcom is on board with LRG I guess we will get those Resident Evil games physical editions after all

I love the smell of desperation coming from MS

I am sorry but the Xbox as a brand is complete failure past the 360 later iterations.

• The OS is terrible and ugly.
• The offline capabilities are extremely limited. I had so many errors in the console menus.
• The screenshot functionality is terrible if you do not connect USB drive your screenshots are deleted in intervals. Also, the taking of screenshots does not work every time you press the buttons.
• Only reads discs up to 50GB.

Who would want to play games on this flawed ecosystem?

Xbox One, One X, Series S and Series X are complete failures.

I will go and say this - the Steam Deck is a better console than those Xbox will ever be.

@kmtrain83 I think I have almost all of them on my phone. (I rarely delete photos)

As for the image uploads I delete them after month or 2.

This weekend I am playing Wolfenstein II The New Colossus. I just arrived in New Orleans

On the side I have Vigil The Longest Night and Heroes of Might and Magic The Olden Era (DEMO) on the Steam Deck. It is a really nice game for any HoMM fan!

Happy gaming everyone!!!

@Medic_alert If it is a game key-card I would prefer for it to be digital only.

We do not need "Fallout 4 Nintendo Switch 2 plastic only edition".

17/21 and I am ok with it

While I prefer to play my DS game on 3DS and DSi XL the emulation way is really good. Especially on the Steam Deck.

On my original NES or on Steam Deck for screenshots

Last week I went through Miles Morales (my LEAST favorite of the new Spider-Man games).

This weekend I started Wolfenstein The Old Blood, but this time I am doing my screenshot journey

On the side I will have Little Nightmares III on the Switch 1.

Castlevania III Dracula's Curse on the NES and Pokemon Emerald for nostalgia injections

Have a great gaming weekend everyone!!!

This game has one thing that S/V does not a graveyard

@progx Old Blood is my favorite of the 3 games. It reminds me so much of Return to Castle Wolfenstein ... I miss the supernatural and creepy things in New Order and the New Colossus

@Wewewi The first release was from Bethesda themselves and the whole game was NOT on the cartridge. This release uses bigger cartridge so you do not have to download the game and it is playable from the cartridge alone.

I do not think that the DLCs are on this release.

@Rainbowjames Your physical version requires internet to download the rest of the game.

This RE-print includes ALL of the game on a 32GB cartridge.
