    @Rodimus Honestly, just having ANYONE buy out Konami would be great, if for nothing else but to get new releases from their fantastic IPs. I need my Castlevania fix! And yeah, Bloodstained may end up being great, but it's not the "real thing." Hope the rumor of the Castlevania Anniversary Collection turns out to be true. While it wouldn't be any new games, it would be nice to have a large compilation of many of the titles in one spot, for once. But yeah, Take-Two would literally cost hundreds of millions of dollars, I'd suspect. But if what @mikechorney said just happened, maybe we don't have anything to really worry about anyway.

    It's always interesting to read your guys' thoughts on stuff like this. I like hearing/reading about different perspectives from gamers. Cheers, y'all. Back to the topic at hand...what are the *actual* chances of Take-Two agreeing to this acquisition? And how much money would have to be paid? I imagine it'll be a pretty penny!

    Not a fanboy. Not a jab. Sorry if it came across that way. Devil's advocate: Even if it was a fanboy jab (it wasn't, I promise!), the conversation didn't have shifting goal posts.

    Yeah, saw those lists before...and last gen was great for third parties on 360. I'd guess that was mostly due to how great LIVE was, and how easy it was to connect with other players online, cross-party chat, etc. That's just my anecdotal observations, though. Also, how accurate is that Wikipedia page? It lists GTAV as only selling 2 million units on PS4. But VGChartz reports it has sold nearly 20 million on PS4. Which is actually true? Honestly asking, I have no idea how reliable either source is.

    I feel like I've only said one thing: Playstation's greatest strength (IMO) is it's third party relationships.That's it. I wouldn't say third parties is Xbox's greatest strength, though. Playstation has (again, IMO) better relationships with third parties than Xbox. Xbox's greatest strength is (IMO!) it's hardware and online functionality. But like I said before (and I'll say it again): I'm often an idiot, so what do I know?
  6. GameDadGrant
    That doesn't take away from what I'm saying though? Xbox has great third party relationships too. Stop.

    All I'm saying is, in my OPINION ( ! ) I feel the Playstation brand's biggest strength is its third party relationships/partnerships. That's not a bad thing. Weird. I got not-lazy and Google'd PS4's top-selling games, and got this list as top-sellers: Grand Theft Auto V Call of Duty: WWII Call of Duty Black Ops III Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare NBA 2k18 Battlefield 1 God of War Star Wars Battlefront Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Nba 2k17 SOURCE It was from a few months ago, but it also took into account digital sales.

    Is that true? I'd be surprised. What are the best selling games on PS4, anyway? Anyone know? Yes, I'm too lazy to Google it myself!

    That said, Bloodborne was developed by FromSoftware, not SIE. It was published by Sony, but that doesn't make it a first party game any more than Bayonetta 3 being published by Nintendo make it a first party Nintendo game. Sharing/streaming/sales are great, but not really exclusive to Playstation, nor its greatest strength. At least, IMO. YMMV. Third parties are what makes the Playstation platform, I think. Heck, I'd be willing to bet money that like, nine out of the top ten best selling games on PS4 are third party games. And likely the major reason a lot of people buy Playstation.

    Anyone besides me pick up Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn yet? I haven't played it, only the demo so far. Kinda bummed the multiplayer was taken out. Though I suppose this late in the 3DS lifespan, maybe it's not that big of a deal. Plus they added a bunch of new stuff to keep the single player mode interesting, so I suppose all is well that ends well. I've really been digging into Persona Q lately. Getting primed for New Cinema Labyrinth!

    All the buttons and triggers on my controllers are symmetrical. You may have gotten a bad one.

    Wha...only sometimes!?! Well, I mean...what is Playstation's greatest strength, if not it's third party relationships? It's not hardware, since Playstation is neither the most powerful out there nor the most innovative/unique. It's not their online functionality, since Microsoft seems to have the lock on that. And I wouldn't say their first party efforts are what really sells systems, either. That crown clearly goes to Nintendo. It's the third party games that sell Playstation. Bloodborne. Street Fighter V. Tetris Effect. Persona. Pretty sure Neir: Automata was exclusive, at least at first? Without third parties backing it, I don't think Playstation would be what it is today. Those are just my thoughts though. I'm often an idiot, so what do I know? Okay!

    Also meh. To me. Furthermore, what has Rockstar or 2K put on Switch so far, in the two years it has been on the market? One game? Maybe two? What has either of them put on 3DS before that, a system that is going on it’s 8th year now? If this news pans out (not likely, but we’ll see) this is kind of non-news to me. But wake me up if Sony starts throwing money at Atlus or Namco or Capcom. Then I’ll be in freak-out mode...!
  14. GameDadGrant
    Atlus or Namco I’d be more worried about. But I’m a weirdo that doesn’t like Rockstar’s games (sorry, EVERYONE) and I’m honestly not sure what 2K makes. Bioshock? Either way, meh.
  15. GameDadGrant
    Since Playstation’s biggest strength (only strength?) is its third-party partnerships, this would kind of make sense. As someone that doesn’t play Rockstar or 2K’s games (and primarily plays on Nintendo hardware) this move wouldn’t effect me at all. Good luck to all those involved!
  16. GameDadGrant
    Cool. Keep in mind that you can also email in a wish list for specific games you’d like. No pressure either way, and thanks for checking us out!

    Better get your sarcasm detector fixed!

    Looks like a Playstation controller. With a Nintendo-style d-pad.

    Capcom is apparently considering porting this to Switch. But in typical Capcom fashion, they’ll only do it if Dragon’s Dogma sells well first.

    Whelp, goodbye PSVR. Nintendo just stole your lunch!
  22. GameDadGrant
    No two player mode at all in this. Boooooooooo...!
  23. GameDadGrant
    $40, eh? I might bite on that. The package is essentially worth $80 so half the cost is a steal.
  24. GameDadGrant
    VERY happy to see this series return!

    Seven minutes in Pokémon heaven...!
