Classic Video Games / Re: What are some incredible older games you remember that people may have missed?
« on: September 01, 2022, 06:46:20 pm »Not really that old but I loved Lord of the Rings Conquest (2009) on the Xbox 360. I rarely hear people talk about this one and it never went backwards compatible but it was made by Pandemic Studios who made the original Star Wars Battlefront game and played very similarly to it. I would love a remaster of it or even a new game in the series.That's cool. I love the franchise.
I bought 'The Lord of the Rings: War in the North' on Steam and they've since pulled it from the store so no new buyers can obtain it, I guess some licensing problem. So glad I scooped it up beforehand.

Classic Video Games / What are some incredible older games you remember that people may have missed?
« on: August 21, 2022, 08:18:07 pm »
I remember a PC game called Black & White 2. You played a god basically and it was a real time strategy game, you had a massive animal for a pet (sort of like a Godzilla or Kingkong type deal but more endearing) that was your strongest unit and really made the game unique. For the time it blew my mind.
On original Xbox there was a game called Kung Fu Chaos, it was basically a stylised arena fighter in the vein of smash brothers. There was also a game later called Tom & Jerry War of the Whiskers which was a similar deal.
More recently in the 360 generation there was Sleeping Dogs which is kind of like GTA but in China and the combat is much more fluid, think of like Batman Arkham melee combat. It was an amazing game, one of the best that gen.

Modern Video Games / Re: Nearly 80% of All PS5, PS4 Games Are Bought Digitally
« on: August 13, 2022, 07:12:39 pm »whats the point in getting physical ps4 and 5 games anyway now?Resale value.
they require so many patches and updates the discs are practicly useless asside from being nice to look at. its sad but thats the current state of things people wont see what an all digital future means till its too late
Offline play years later (potentially).
Collecting on a shelf.
Human interaction with a store clerk.
Sharing/trading with a friend.
Etc.

« on: August 10, 2022, 07:39:45 pm »I wouldn't be surprised if these totals also included monthly rewards being redeemed by PlayStation Plus subscribers. If that's the case, then the ratio is heavily skewed.That was my first reaction. But then I also thought I also wouldn't be surprised if 80% of games were actually bought digitally now either.

Modern Video Games / Nearly 80% of All PS5, PS4 Games Are Bought Digitally
« on: August 10, 2022, 06:11:14 pm »
Physical enthusiasts should probably look away now because Sony has revealed 79 per cent of all PS5, PS4 games sold during its latest fiscal quarter were for the digital version. This represents a dramatic increase for the start of fiscal year 2022; a 13 per cent boost over fiscal year 2021 to be exact, when two-thirds of games were purchased digitally.
In Q1 of fiscal year 2021, digital purchases stood at 71 per cent. The two following quarters saw the percentage drop to 62 per cent, and then it returned to 71 per cent for Q4. The beginning of fiscal year 2022 sees the statistic at its highest ever of 79 per cent. Interestingly, the amount of monthly active users on PSN dropped by four million across the latest quarter, suggesting there are fewer people using the service but more of that user base are taking the digital route.
It's bad news for PS5, PS4 gamers who prefer to buy games physically as the industry and market shift further into the digital realm. Sony offers a PS5 system without a disc drive, but will that become the default option once it is ready to move onto the next generation? Come back in six or seven years and we should have an answer.

« on: July 09, 2022, 12:26:02 pm »
Depends if the game was good or not.
My ex bought me Fallout 76 to play with her and it was the worst shit I’ve ever played so I sold it for the 50 cents it was worth after we broke up.

Modern Video Games / Should I sell my copy of Mass Effect Legendary Edition?
« on: June 03, 2022, 01:05:07 pm »
So I just completed Mass Effect 1 through 3 on the hardest difficulty and the games were amazing probably on the level of some of the best of all time.
I don’t think I’m gonna go back to it though now that I’ve experienced all of it. I used a different class and different weapon in each of the three games (Infiltrator with Sniper Rifle in ME1, Vanguard with Shotgun in ME2 and Sentinel with Assault Rifle in ME3) so I don’t think I could mix things up in that way and they’re really long so I don’t think I wanna replay.
Should I sell or is that sacrilege? I can free up 100GB of space on my PS5 hard drive and get 10 bucks back.
