This. Also letting you 8 year old watch Fallout 4. Brilliant parenting there.

Quest 64 is a bad game. Play it at your own risk. The N64 has some great titles, but 90% of those came from Nintendo and Rare. If you like sports games at all, NBA Hangtime and NFL Blitz were pretty good on N64 imo.

Whichever company is on top in a generation of consoles tends to get complacent. Saw it happen last gen when M$ was ahead as well. It sucks, but it is this industry.

Tecmo's Deception. Not a TD exactly, kind of had a survival horror feel mixed with a TD. I still highly recommend this PS1 classic and all of its campy goodness.

I have played a lot of Orcs must Die 2 and Unchained. Not a huge fan of loot box grind free to play games like Orcs must die Unchained is. It also has some MOBA elements which the first 2 didn't really have, which I don't necessarily care for. Orcs must die 1 and 2 are really good on Steam though, especially co-op.

My opinion is that scarcity of a product in Japan drives demand. Like how you see lines around several blocks in Japan. In a collectivist society in many Asian countries, seeing everyone line up for something makes it seem more popular than it is. That drives news of shortages and popularity of the device. Which make more people want to be part of the "in crowd".

They think everywhere is like Japan and we all enjoy the "luck" element in getting their toy. They think not having something you want makes you want it more and talk about it more. They've done this intentionally since the NES days folks. Nothing new here.

That said, I think they've shot themselves in the foot in the West, because we simply will get annoyed and stop buying or reading news. I'm sure their strategy works here to some extent, but I question whether the lose sales overall here. if they just made more, would their overall sales increase versus a drip feed?

Hands down SNES classic. 1x is a niche product. We know that there will be several million classics shipped worldwide through December 31st. Xbox1x will be fortunate to sell 1 million units.

I wonder if Xbox1x will be scaled down to PS4 Pro specs due to devs not wanting to put in the time to make a specific version optimized for the 1x. I also, think that you guys believing everything is going to be in true 4k is rich, but it is fun to dream sometimes.

Personally I own a PS4 pro, Switch and PC, but I long ago got rid of my Xbone, due to the game being available on the PC. I don't have a dog in this race. If the Xb1x makes sense for you, more power to ya.

This. The prequels aren't nearly as bad as the "hardcore" Star Wars fans say.

The opinion is strong there. Gunplay may be better, if you want to completely ignore VATS and just play an FPS.

Be careful where you buy those discounted PS Plus/Xbox live cards. Major retailers are fine, but there are some shady websites selling them for way to good to be true prices. They are laundering money from stolen credit cards. Word to the wise.
