This is just your daily reminder that PS2 game Chain Dive is a game that exists and never came out in English and has an Isaac Clarke look alike using Serge's weapon from Chrono Cross to freeze giant bugs and then use a grappling hook to grab onto the frozen bugs and ram into them, shattering them.

why is beetle adventure racing not brought up more in the conversation of "good n64/PS1 racing games" discussion because it has aged well and is still fun and cool

Beetle Adventure Racing was a great reaching game but yeah the memory card issue was a bummer. All my n64 memory cards were unreliable so I lost that save many times. One time I even had the Police Car unlocked!

I miss those days of seemingly random licensed games that turn out to be really good. I guess that genre moved to mobile more than anything, didn't it?

As a filthy casual, if I buy an Xbox One S I'm generally going to enjoy it, yeah? I've not owned a current gen console (excluding my old Wii U) and I have a big OLED screen so the UHD part really sells it over the PS4 Pro. Plus I have more friends on Xbox Live and I've always preferred Xbox controllers. Without doing a side by side comparison, I'm not going to care about PS4P performance being better... I hope?

I have an Xbone and I'm pretty happy with it. The only problems I have is that every game needs to be installed and that many developers rush games out and dump 10-15 GB of patches on them later, but I don't think the PS4 is better in that regard. The only game that has performed poorly enough that I cared about it was Dark Souls 3, but it's not like I wish I'd bought a PS4 instead just because of that.

It's simply not true that the Xbox One doesn't have good exclusives. Sunset Overdrive, Rare Replay and Forza Horizon were great. Gears of War 4, Ori and the blind forest and Crackdown all look great, but I haven't played them yet, so I could be wrong. I'm also enjoying ReCore quite a bit so far, but apparently it get's worse later on. It's all a matter of taste obviously, but personally, I'd take those games over Bloodborne.

No but you can play games while the patch downloads in the background, well unless you want to play online anyway.

I don't really think that's Sony or Microsoft's fault honestly. The whole point of those consoles was making them easy to develop for so people could dump their games on as many consoles as possible. It's just dumb to put a game on one system anymore.

PC wasn't a massive gaming platform in 2003 and there was no microsoft console. That's not a very fair comparison.

"I think he's a bad enough person to stay ghost through his sheer love of child-killing."

It's a development costs thing too, all the games that are being developed today with the budgets that those PS2 titles had are now coming out for steam, to the extent that they're coming out at all. Like, what was the studio size for a good PS2-era game, maybe 20 or 30 people? And now we've got indies developing with teams of maybe 5 or 6, and AAA games with teams in the hundreds. It's a different marketplace.

I'm gonna wait until I finish the DQ7 remake and I hear some more opinions. Not gonna drop $60 on a Minecraft clone, no matter how cute, unless the amount of "non-Minecraft clone" content is significant.

But even if that's all it is I'll get it eventually just to support more DQ coming to the US.

There's a bunch of promising looking ps4 exclusives coming out within a few months: DQ Builders, The Last Guardian, Gravity Rush 2, Nier: Automata, Persona 5. I might finally pick one up.

I mean I played the demo. It was really fun. I wouldn't be interested in it if I hadn't. I wouldn't recommend anyone buy it without playing the demo, but I'm not sure if the demo is still available now that the game is released.

Just the fact that the game recognizes types of rooms and you can level up your based by building them is pretty cool.

Edit: And DQ Builders also has a Vita version.

Burnout was pretty solid. I didn't know there was a line of Forza games with that more "arcade" feel. Neat.
