If this takes off it'll make it where xbox, sony, Nintendo, etc. can put their systems out at a much higher price without turning their customers off. I don't think cell phones could have pushed their current price point (nearly $1000) without the leasing strategy.


PS3 came out high and xbox 360 ruled. Xbox One came out high and PS4 Ruled.. The ceiling seems to be raising slower than inflation and this lease idea looks to be the way around it.

I vaguely remember being too young to appreciate what a pain in the butt Flashback and Out of this World truly was. I especially remember repeatedly dying right off the bat. I'm sure it'd be the same now!

As long as it completely turns away from Mario party 10 i'll be happy. That was the worst.

Netseller and TigerDirect was my go-to in the 90's. Once New Egg gained traction all sources became inferior. Its always good to check New Egg against Amazon factoring in shipping costs.

I've found during some of the bigger sales Best Buy annihalates all competetion. You may not get exactly what you're looking for but you can buy the entire computer at Best Buy then add that graphics card or ram or whatever else cheaper than building from scratch and get (at least close) to what you're trying to build.

I tried, it's saved for later. good as ordered though

My forum time has been limited to early mornings or late nights - at neither point am I fully awake...

That's an ingenious idea - lego games + nostalgic blockbusters. The portal allowed the add on sets (like the goonies and back to the future) but a game like batman, harry potter, lotw, etc. would likely stand on its own well.

I'm really surprised I didn't really get into this game earlier. It's the reason I bought the switch and yet I barely played either until recently. I've not played enough to actually review it but I can say that it's worth the price of admission.

When it came out I purchased the hard cover players guide and the game, and three or four amiibos. The amiibos make almost no difference other than adding some materials and on occasion offering a pretty OP weapon (at least in early stages) but the guide is great. The game is Nintendos take on the Elder Scrolls Series. The story is good, the voice acting is bad, and the gameplay is amazing. I've spent hours just farming materials and exploring. I'd suggest using the guide as more of a reference instead of following it as a walk thru as it has the potential to shorten the game significantly. I'll attempt a proper review once I've gotten through it.

Prior to this game I was in a real gaming slump. I'd almost convinced myself I'd outgrown gaming or just lost interest. After reintroducing myself to BOTW I've realized i'm still a gamer. I don't just pick this game up when i'm bored, i carve out several hours a week for it.

I've got it but I've not dedicated any time to it what so ever. I may start it after i get tired of Breath of the Wild.

I've only even been excited about two spider man games, maximum carnage and the Spiderman that was like GTA on the ps2... Hearing you guys hype up this newest makes me feel like I've completely overlooked it. is there a reason people are pumped?

ordered

There's so much middle-aged man-cave bait out or almost out right now it's pitiful...

i'm lost.. Lego Goonies? you want lego goonies?


But really... $60? it's 20ish at wallyworld and a little less on ebay. or have you not the portal?

i think lego adventure time would have been pretty awesome despite only one of the adventure time games being any fun.

My portal and all that crap is in the display cabinent and hasn't been used since that christmas it came out, which is probably where starlink will end up (and that's how you steer the conversation back on topic)

It probably would have taken me another 500 posts before I would have noticed them, and another 1000 before I realized what they were!

I read the review and the game seems worthy but ima keep mine wrapped for at least a little while longer. I'm going to get my mileage out of Zelda for the moment.

did yours get opened and enjoyed? I've not cracked the shrink wrap on mine

I've never owned a smash bros game, and I've never really wanted to, until now. I don't know what I like the looks of this one over past iterations but I do.

Does anyone have any opinion on this game? It seems odd that Ubisoft is bringing another toys to life game out after so many others have made their way past their prime with this last iteration moving to the clearance bin with a quickness.

The Switch version has a Star Fox cross over exclusive that has me leaning in Nintendo's favor.

The second url is a 17 minute gameplay video from IGN. None of the weapons were switched out so that mechanic wasn't featured and the gameplay looked really vanilla. I can't decide if it looks like its worth $75. I want to be blown away, but I'm not.

@BLUEVOODU

That'd work better than birth control

chickendiner url doesn't work. I can't get in, I can't post, I can't be sarcastic.

404 Error

Operation Wolf, Time Crisis, Revolution X, Lethal Enforcers, Duck Hunt, Mad Dog McSomething (McCree maybe?) T2, House of the Dead

There's so many awesome arcade gun games.

@BLUEVOODU - maybe the couch was a bit drastic. Instead I can just get rid of the vanity in the daughter's room.

3/4 arcade cabinets hitting the market soon... I'd have several if I had some spare room... I'm still considering the track ball one and I'd sell a couch and put one in my living room if there was a light gun one.

I finished off that match 3 game I was playing

I started Zelda Breath of the Wild over again. I wasn't far in it but I quit playing a while ago and couldn't remember much of what I did. I knocked out three of the shrines on the great plateau earlier today.

Its such a great game I can't believe I never finished it.

There some mortal kombat influence in there... I kept hearing "come here to me" and "finish him" while I was watching this. Scorpion's thing was backwards, but none the less... it looks good.

2017 Sonata

I bought my first new car last year after getting pissed off at my 1/4 million mile jetta.

I think to do star fox correct, he'd be a lot like Rocket Raccoon but then it'd be considered a rip-off and done before. In that light I think star fox would be a complete failure, CGI anyway. An animated version could be done well.


Horizon Zero Dawn MIGHT work in a Mad Max meets eden kind of way


Rygar, Metal Gear, Witcher Monster Hunter, The Elder Scrolls or anything else Bioware could be awesome.

It was too sketchy for me to jump into.

1. Indigogo
2. allegation that the gameplay was from other systems
3. nothing copywrighted
4. no technical specs

theres too many indigogo horror stories - I'd rather not gamble.

My one awesome computer has been taken over by my son and hs VR addiction so my little HP 8200 elite and it's really crappy graphics card has to stay in the Diablo 3 range of computer games.

The last few years have been very console heavy for me as far as purchases. If its on ps4 i'll probably have it to play. I also have all the halo games on xbone via master chief collection and halo 5 as well as Sea of Thieves that i've barely cracked into. I'd love to start any of that. Live is up but I've got two months worth of passes and something continues I have no problem paying for live.

Sunday evenings are great. I rarely get work interruptions on Sundays.

it'd be nice to know what number it was before opening it

I was considering ordering another so I could open and play one but now amazon says it usually ships in 1 to 2 months. Maybe there's not a lot of these..

mine came early, it's still wrapped though...

I don't think there was a lot of hype about this game so i'm guessing there's not going to be a ton of them made. I may keep this copy intact and wait to find a used copy at a game store, or watch them go on sale for cheap somewhere.
