General Discussion / Re: What happened with Gen 9 c...
Last post by targetrasp - February 08, 2025, 09:00:18 PMThe quest for profits seems to always turn into an Icarus scenario. Something good becomes better and better as interest is generated, little guys make a name for themselves and turn into big guys, marketing explodes, big guys start buying up little guys, big guys start paying more for little guys, big guys get too big, margins become miniscule, ceo's and board of directors go from people within the industry to some flavor of investment banker, min max hits harder, creativity, innovation (in the sense of taking risks / trying something new) becomes too costly and we get Madden 75, Call of Duty 400, and a whole lot of vanilla flavored games, all be it on fantastic hardware with pretty graphics.
Not chasing bleeding edge technology affords Nintendo some liberties, but they still play it pretty safe with their games. They stick close to the Zelda, Mario, Pokemon staples (peppering in some pikmin, kirby, and DK) and haven't had a new IP of note since Ring Fit in 2019 and Splatoon before that in 2015. They took lumps with the Wii U, N64, GCN, and the Virtual Boy but have persevered and always put out great games.
I think Nintendo's business model will keep them in the console space while Sony and Microsoft are destined to dissolve off into the PC space. I've already decided to not buy a new Xbox or Playstation, despite having chased after each previous iteration. I just hope Nintendo continues to innovate, take risks on peripherals as well as games, and put out another Kid Icarus, Earthbound, 1080, wave race, excite bike, or better yet, the next unforgettable IP that'll be able to stand with the Mario, Zelda Pokemon tentpoles.

Last post by targetrasp - February 08, 2025, 08:02:03 PMI found it difficult to make it through the first season and gave up on the series. Hearing the second season was better gives me hope. Outside of the "purists" that can't stand anything pop culture not made 40+ years ago, the only real complaint I've heard was about the pacing. I can deal with that now that all the episodes are out. I'll have to spin this one back up.

A Winner Is You / Lego Marvel’s Avengers PS4 - 1...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - January 04, 2025, 07:51:35 AMThis one didn't take quite as long as the Marvel Super Heroes series. We 100% Completed / Platinum Trophied Lego Marvel's Avengers for the PS4.
This game follows the Avenges plots and movies. You play through several classic scenes from the Avengers ... and it's a lot of fun. The sounds are great, music is great... etc. If Lego games aren't your cup of tea, you may not like this title. It is, however, one of our favorite Lego games!
If you dig Lego games, give this one a try! It's pretty awesome.
Done! Done! Onto the next one!

Mine's simple, just play more games!
I also want to clear out some of my backlog. I'm starting with trying to finish at least 5 games.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - January 03, 2025, 12:27:55 PMThis is another one that took a few years of off and on play. However, we have 100% Completed / Platinum Trophied Lego Marvel Super Heroes for the PS4.
Again, we didn't complete all the dlc trophies, only the main game. We may go back and 100% the rest, but it gets to be a lot.
There are a lot of fun moments in this game. It's cool as you traverse many of the scenes from several Marvel movies... and also creative levels that did not appear in movies.
Glad to be at 100% - it was a fun time.
