What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Especially if streaming games becomes a thing over the next 4-5 years. Nintendo’s streaming service in Japan offers varies degrees of how you can “buy” a game. When it comes to Assassins’s Creed Odyssey users can buy a daily or "lifetime" subscription - which means the buyer owns it for TWO years - yeah, cloud streaming is going to absolutely suck for anyone who actually likes having a collection of games.

Sooo another thing

Sonic ages just got released for switch. Its actually just the first sonic, with more sonic games to come I hope

The sega genesis collection is coming soon and it will include sonic 1 and 2

What to get eh?

The collection has other games im interested in like streets of rage and vectorman

Don’t get any of them. Sonic sucks.

But he panched an innocent Irish wolfhound minding its own business and traumatized the poor children who bore witness. He can eat a dick.

I got the Platinum on Spider-Man, my first, and all the secret photo ops. Not sure what to play next because no games are on sale. I'll probably tackle The Talos Principle, which has been in my backlog for a while.

Nier: Automata is half off on Steam right now if you're looking for a good one.

I got all the endings on that one already :)

I want to get Detroit: Become Human and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but they probably won't go on sale until Black Friday.

Dragon Quest XI orchestral soundtrack mod is go

Amazing how dedicated some folks are with this sort of thing, and how quickly they've pulled it together. The default soundtrack really does start to grate after a while so I'm eager to see the difference.

Went to EGX over the weekend and had an ace time. Only complaint was extremely lone queues for demos but I guess that's pretty normal (wanted to play the new Metro but gave up after 20m and not moving). A bit of sensory overload with just so much shit going on in so little time, tempted to do two days if I ever go again.

One highlight I think other WATMMers would enjoy is a little indie title called PUSS! that has this glitched out/VHS vaporwave aesthetic, and Satanic imagery when you're near death.

Having set it up (8GB download, woof) I can confirm that playing DQXI with anything other than the orchestral soundtrack in this mod is doing a wrong one. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft and Sony's next consoles focuses on streaming games as part of a monthly subscription vs buying the games outright (physically or digitally).

Wife and I knocked out some Super Mario Bros 3 on the Switch this weekend. Extreme nostalgia triggers all over the place, coupled with the oddity of having it all displayed on a gargantuan (comparative to youth at least) tv. It's crazy how much we both remember about the levels. . . also such respect for the programming of these early games. They did so much with so little, and these games also demand a certain type of precision that a lot of modern games don't demand.

Personally don’t see the streaming thing as viable for the near future. I haven’t tried it so my opinion is without experience, but my internet is shit, and where I live (and millions of other players live) it won’t be getting significantly better in the next five to ten years. I don’t even like downloading games, as much as I would prefer it, as the internet services are capping data usage per month these days (whole other serious bullshit there)

i had to research what this was all about since this is the first i've heard of it. basically seals the deal on whether or not i'll buy on pc/ps4. curious though where the orchestral audio was sourced from?

The credits say "Preta - Adapting the Symphonic Suites for use within the game and creating loop points." so I guess they took the soundtrack and adapted it for the game

Wot span said. Also mentioned:

Good work, clever bods

nice

I actually still buy physical games (on sale or used) because you can sell them when you're done, and recoup a nice % of the cost. I only buy digital if there's an insane sale, or there is no physical edition.

Another batshit insane Death Stranding trailer from TGS 2018 - Troy Baker is apparently playing a baddie:

^^^ anyone know the full list of games? everyone i've checked, they only list 5 but say there are 20 included

turns out the playstation classic will have different games based on region (although supposedly this is only between japan and the west)  but still no full list of the games

That makes sense, but Nintendo was willing to announce each region's games on announcement day... I wonder why Sony's holding off?

Maybe it's a "26 Mixes for Cash" situation where they haven't secured the licensing for all the games...
