Holy shit. You can’t be serious. That fucking sucks. Up yours, Sony.

@Slug Haha, never mind he doesn't want me using his account! I went ahead and created my own account: GameDadGrant - same as my D1P username!

Too lazy to look, but does anyone know if Einhander is on PSN/on sale?

Eh? Hang on, gotta ask my son. He’s the one with the account, haha

Wanna play online with us? Hit up some cross-platform online multiplayer, dude!

Gonna pick up my “Wayfairer’s Edition” box from GameStop later today. Pretty hyped for it. Also picking up the new Splatoon 2 amiibo and Captain Toad for 3DS. Gonna be a busy weekend!

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon

What a weird time we live in.

I just Google’d it and found out it’s another Battle Royale game. I had to Google because I thought “H1Z1” was an abbreviation for something else...buuuuut nope! That’s the actual name!

Neat! Amazing this wasn’t discovered until recently. I recall loading and playing old NES games on Dreamcast and Xbox was a big thing back in the day. I’d bet people would be all over it on Gamecube too, if they knew about it.

What is H1Z1?

The libraries are fine, don’t misunderstand me! Just kinda surprised that the PS4 took off as well as it did. But if this is what’s making the PS4 sell, then that’s cool. Thanks. I LOL’d!

Yeah I heard it was pretty good.

Yeah, and I get that. But why on PS4? A lot of those games are multi-plat/on PC. What’s the draw to Playstation? Brand name/loyalty? Nostalgia? Something else? Honestly curious.

Yeah, wasn’t sure what the metric was. I’m cool with sequels. Switch has some pretty good stuff this year already with Kirby, Mario Tennis, Mario + Rabbids DLC, Octopath Traveler and the two holiday titles coming up you already mentioned. Plus all the great multi-plat stuff.

Is that what is driving PS4 sales? Has it? Two sequels in old franchises, a decent "choose-your-own-adventure" game (78% on metacritic), and a remaster of a PS2 game from 2005. That equals a "stellar" year so far? I mean, I'm okay if it is. I'm just not sure what the criteria is anymore.

Agreed.

I’m not getting my hopes up. But, still looking forward to the reveal.

I want it to be a TMNT game. I’ll probably be disappointed.

Agreed. Though, Pokémon is a really big franchise. And Smash is pretty big, too. Guess we’ll see. I’m a little surprised PS4 is still doing as well as it is. I don’t know what keeps driving it, but Sony better not let off the gas.

He’s just saying it will outsell it in 2018 alone. Not all years combined.

Subjectively: Gameboy. Too much nostalgia for me to ignore. Objectively: 3DS. All the great stuff of the DS/DSi, plus solid smatterings from all of Nintendo’s other handhelds, Game Gear, NES, SNES and Genesis. Modding taken into account: Probably the Vita. Or that GDP Win thing. Honorable mentions: Neo Geo Pocket Color. This thing was just so cool and had a small library of incredible games. Plus connectivity with Dreamcast! Awesome. PSP: Fantastic handheld, and incredible tech for the time. Just kinda rendered obsolete thanks to Vita.

I both loved and hated that startup. I loved it for the same reasons you stated...but I also hated it because it took sssssoooo long just to get to the game. You basically wait for a good minute or two before you actually get to start playing what you want, lol. The lightning-quick start up of the N64 often made that system my console of choice during that gen. Thankfully, the startups of the following generation of consoles were both kind of epic/memorable as well...but didn’t waste as much of your time before letting you start playing!

Home consoles only? It’s either SNES, Dreamcast or Gamecube. I’m mostly into portable gaming though, so the original Gameboy or the original DS hold higher regard for me than the consoles. 3DS ranks really high as well. But if we’re talking home consoles, I’m going to give it to the ‘Cube. So many great titles, many of which I played during my college days. LAN play with Mario Kart: Double Dash!! was insane, and playing online with Phantasy Star Online was awesome. But the thing that really tips it over the edge? The best peripheral ever made: the Gameboy Player. Having all my Gameboy/Color/Advance games playable on a single system along with all the GCN-exclusive stuff was just too perfect. Close runner-up is Dreamcast, and then SNES.
