What single player games do you enjoy replaying?

in Gaming Discussion 2 days ago

I replayed platformers often in the 80s and 90s. But, in the 21st century, the only game that I've replayed multiple times is Halo:CE. It is probably the most significant game to me personally. So, I like to revisit it from time to time. Other than that, I just want to play new stuff, rather than games that I've already played. ...

Lithium VS AA in controllers?

in Gaming Discussion 2 days ago

I prefer controllers to use swappable, standard batteries. In most cases, you can get the play and charge kits, or you can use normal batteries. So, it gives you more options. Plus, as long as you have batteries around, you never have to go more than a few seconds without a working controller, and you never are forced to plug in. ...

The Santa Clause would probably make the top five as well. ...

I'm glad to see any games make it to any new system. But, as a Switch owner, I'm tired of getting big games from generations ago. I want the new stuff. ...

Games beaten (lifetime)

in Gaming Discussion 4 days ago

I can't believe that there are so many people that have such a list. When I saw the thread title, I assumed this would be one or two people posting s list, then others commenting on it. I'm amazed that there are a couple handfuls of lists here. How do you all do this? I can't even remember what I beat over the last few years. Did you all start making lists when you were little kids, and...

Lowest selling system you own/owned

DonFerrari said: Leynos said: Does 32X count or Sony PocketStation? I would say yes, they were standalone products (even if you could include a 32X module on genesis right?) I'm not aware of a standalone 32x. Afaik, the only way it existed was as an add-on for the Genesis/Megadrive. Is my recollection wrong? Maybe I should Google it.... ...

Based on what we know about the PS5: What do you think is the cheapest it can can be and break even; What will be the actual price?

in Sony Discussion on 28 March 2020

I think it would have to retail for at least $499 for Sony not to lose money on it. Remember, the retailer's taking a cut, and there are distribution and manufacturing costs over and beyond the component costs. I'm not even sure that they would truly break even at that number. but, I imagine a real break Even is somewhere around there. As for what the cost will be, I expect it will be...

Nintendo Issues Takedown Mario fan made games In Dreams (PS4)

Generally speaking, IP law only come into play when someone is trying to sell someone else's IP. If that were the case, all free fan games would exist without issue, wouldn't they? Not having "legal grounds" is not the same as not having a legal challenge. ...

Staring into the abyss of a world where Nintendo has no games scheduled for release. Edit: The Time of Darkness Has Arrived

curl-6 said: trunkswd said: I wouldn't mind taking inspiration from the first one and build upon it. Like having an overworld that is similar to the first, but make it bigger and have more to find. I like the boss races as well. But when you had to go and do each race a second time to get all the coins I'd be okay leaving out. Inspiration is fine, I just want it to...

KLXVER said: Well if we disregard third parties, then both the PS4 and XB1 has had similar droughts. XB1 has probably had even worse ones. Sure. And people have been going on and on about the lack of games in XBone for years now. "Probably " not having as bad a drought as XB1 is not good enough. ...

Digital Foundry Video: Hands-On With Xbox Series X + Impressions + Xbox One X Size Comparisons + Official Specs + Ray Tracing

in Microsoft Discussion on 17 March 2020

Extremely good timing on Microsoft's part. Dumping a bunch of exciting, positive news, when everybody is sitting around with less than usual to do, and gloomy news everywhere else means they get a lot more eyeballs than they may have otherwise. I wonder to what extent it was planted this way. Digitalfoundry obviously have some time to put these videos together, so it's not like they were at...

Rumor: Sony Working To Revive Kojima’s Silent Hills + Reboot Series

in Sony Discussion on 13 March 2020

I am amazed that this Kojima dude is still able to work. His games are mostly mediocre sellers, and he spends tons of money and takes tons of time to get them there. He has been involved in a few big hits, so I guess that's enough to secure a place in the industry forever. ...
