We go upstairs around 8pm and then I try to shut everything off and go to bed by 9pm, our 4 year old with us ha ha. I love when people tell me they can’t wait for their kids to go to sleep for they have them time. I get up at 3am, I go when they go, I’m way to tired to stay up and play video games ha ha. I try to squeeze them in at night on weekends when I can, which is killing me because I’m dying to play more of Nier Replicant.
@OliverOwen I would love that. I only play online with a couple of people, but even that is very rare. Especially with a four year old and a six month old, what little game time I get, I would rather focus on story driven games instead of a game that I might be forced to drop out of, while screwing my team over and possibly getting punished.
3.5 hours into Nier Replicant, I’m loving it so far. The side quests are lackluster, occasionally the game shows that it was from the PS3/360 era, and occasionally it can be a bit janky, but none of that has taken away from my enjoyment of it. The combat is fast and fluid, I’m really excited to see where this, so far, excellent story goes, and the music is stunning.
@SegataSanshiro that game was some dumb fun. I remember getting it for Christmas from my neighbor, bringing it to my cousin’s and having a great time with it.
@Would_you_kindly it’s pretty similar, but they e added textures that were t on the One controller and they’ve altered the shape of the L2/R2 buttons. The analog sticks feel a little deeper as well.
People are absurd. This game is a bloody masterpiece, one of the best games I’ve ever played. I played it on PS4 at release, it was brilliant. I played it on Game Pass, pre-patch, it was brilliant. Stop being bratty children, my four year old is less ridiculous than these people.
@GamingFan4Lyf after completing the three main playthroughs it quickly became my favorite game. I played it on PS4, it ran great, but I didn’t get too far. I randomly decided to give it another go on Game Pass and I fell in love right away with it. It ran flawlessly on my first gen One, I’d imagine SX would be incredible.
Sadly, I played it on PS4 and was extremely disappointed with it. It was creative, but beyond that it played horribly and just never grabbed my attention.
Easily NG Black. I’ve played through that game so many times and even just charged my vita a few weeks ago just to play it. It’s probably my most purchased game.
@ThanosReXXX it’d be a disservice to gaming if I didn’t teach my son right!!!
I didn’t have a NES or SNES until later in life, but I had plenty of ways to play them. I was a SEGA guy as a kid. I wish I was smart and saved my systems/games. I was obsessed with Elemental Masters and Lunar A Silver Star Story (my first true RPG obsession). There were so many great games on those systems that they haven’t added into any Minis yet. It’d be great to release them all in an online store that you could download to the system, I’d buy that Mini in a heartbeat.
@ThanosReXXX don’t forget you also had to click to channel 3 before you could even jump into this simple game with just paddles and a ball. 🤣
I loved my Atari, I can’t even tell you how much time I spent on River Raid, Yars Revenge and Dig Dug. I currently have an N64 that I play with my 3 year old, but I’d love to get some of the older consoles I grew up on for him to play. I picked up the SNES Classic just for that reason.
13 Sentinels on PS5 today, I’m obsessed with it. If I need a bit of a break I might play Bright Memory, since I just learned that existed last night and grabbed it for $8.
@ThanosReXXX it’s always fun to look back at those times, in some cases, even finding things I’ve never seen. I’ve been gaming since Atari, and I have to agree, that generation of gaming was so objectively good.
Nier Automata very easily stole the spot for my favorite game. I always wanted to check out Nier, but never got around to it, so I’m really looking forward to this.
@ThanosReXXX I would love that. I wish Orson Scott Card would either write novels to finish out the story or another company would pick up the game (probably THQ they way they are gobbling up studios) and finish it out.
@ThanosReXXX it was criminally underrated. The story was so good and I loved how everything you did levered separately. It was a game ahead of its time, glitchy as it was.
@Hordak yes!!! I thought I was alone in my love of Advent Rising, I see nothing but hate for that game, but I adored it. It kills me we never got a sequel.

I was all for Hood until I saw it was PvPvE. That game looked liked it’d be so good as just a PvE game.

Re: Pick One: If You Could Only Play One Of These, Which Would It Be?

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With April 2021's Xbox Games With Gold?
Dark Void is one of the most disappointing game’s I’ve ever played. I played the demo and thought it was good, bought it at release and hated it.

Re: Deals: 200+ Games Included In This Week's Xbox Sales (March 16-23)
@Krzzystuff they didn’t necessarily kill it, they just aren’t going to support it anymore, but it can still be played online. A slow death regardless.

@ThanosReXXX doesn’t look too difficult, I might have to consider giving it a try.

Re: Guide: Every Original Xbox Game You Can Play With Backwards Compatibility
@ThanosReXXX I’m about the least tech driven person on the planet. I’d try to mod it and my house would likely burn down. 😂
Might be worth finding one that’s already modded though. 😏
