Yeah this is probably more what I'm thinking of. The take-off feeling was fantastic and the animation on the suits was legitimately really impressive stuff.

Reminder that anthem only has flying because they spent months waffling on whether or not to commit to it and an exec happened to stop by the studio for a demo on a day the coin landed on "yes flying"

Idk, I don't have like a list in mind, just the only exclusives in that list that seem like must-gets are Spider-mans and Yakuza. Even discounted that doesn't seem worth buying a whole console for.

Oh yeah, I guess everything I want on the Xbone would run on my PC. I'm just a little worried some of it wouldn't run so good.

"My brain is amazing! It's full of wrinkles, and... Uh... Wait... What am I trying to say?"
since everyone was talking about being old, y'all probably remember the era when what games you could get was limited by what the stores near your home had and that games selling out/having few copies printed was a real issue. what games were you aware of at the time but never actually got the chance to purchase because you never saw it on shelves?

Daggerfall was a big one for me, I had an ad for it stuck to a corkboard for years but I never saw a copy in person. Blood was another game I was aware of but never saw for sale anywhere, and as a kid that loves Wolf3d/Doom/Duke 3D I would have snapped that game up in a heartbeat. A friend had Homeworld I remember it taking several tries to find a copy. SaGa Frontier is one I rented a bunch but never saw a copy for sale. Secret of Mana was one of those as well, though I did end up getting Secret of Evermore. I received Lunar TSSS for my birthday and only narrowly got my hands on a copy of Lunar 2. (unrelated but I haven't played these since they were contemporary and I waffle between revisiting them and just letting them be because I imagine a lot about them does not hold up.)

Chrono Trigger was really hard to come by, I got it used and still remember paying quite a bit for it. I actually lucked into a lot more JRPGs than I would have in the NES/SNES era because we lived near a really weird used media store and the guy who owned it would point them out to me/had most of the big ones on hand at one point or another. A nice story is that I got FF2 from that store, and then later when back and noticed that the copy of 3 they had had was gone and I was highly upset that I would likely never find another copy. It turns out that when I got 2 my parents made an excuse to go back in and bought the copy of 3 and gave it to me for my birthday.

I wanted to get Hudson Hawk on the Amstrad but never found a copy anywhere. I did find the Gameboy version in a weird second hand shop in Swanage when we were on holiday which turned out to be quite good. Years later I saw the film and was disappointed he did not throw tennis balls at people for the entire runtime.

i had to ask my parents to take me to the store like five times each for bomberman the second attack and tactics ogre knight of lodis because i didn't know the exact release date and really didn't wanna miss them!! fortunately everything worked out. i never found a non-rental copy of ogre battle 64 until years later though

i would also try to ask the local blockbuster employees about any old games they were retiring (having no idea how that worked and assuming they just threw stuff out) but somehow still ended up getting joe & mac 2 and sonic & knuckles that way

My parents had too many kids, so store shelves and game catalogs were mostly for fantasizing about. A lot of the games were better in my head than how they actually turned out, tho!

When I was a kid with a SNES we were poor so my games all came from the second hand shop. I was really interested in Ogre Quest cause I read a review in the one issue of Nintendo magazine I bought but they never had it. Also I had DKC1 and 3 but could never find 2.

It’s not a baby PC but this is what I do too. It’s pretty good!

Even Yakuza is on PC/Xbox now. So, you’re just missing Spider-Man. I tried making a list of PS4 exclusives last night and I think the list is the Spider-Men, 13 Sentinels, God of War, Sakura Wars (maybe?) and some other maybe more obscure anime stuff. There’s really not a lot anymore. Even Wattam is on PC!

e: Bloodborne is PS exclusive too obv but that had already been mentioned

I thought I had a chance of getting it cause it was by far the cheapest gb game in this hypermarket (don't know if that's a concept in the states) we shopped at regularly. I'd gaze at it longingly from behind the glass pane every time. (I didn't get it)

I don't know what it was about Bomberman Second Assault but I couldn't beat any of the stages after the tutorial. I'm pretty sure I was a dumb kid when it came to video game logic.

But I definitely remember riding my bike out to Walmart like three times in middle school waiting for them to get FFTA2 (they never did)

I remember getting a guide for .hack//outbreak. I didn't need the guide, I just used gamefaqs for guides, but I was pressured into getting it by the gamestop/eb games employee and my mother so when she found out I didn't actually need it she got real mad at me wasting her money like that.

The guide also got some names and info wrong but it was all stuff that didn't really matter, like getting an enemy's name wrong. I just felt bad that money got spent on it when I didn't want it and didn't need it but felt like I had to agree to it because I was too nervous to reassure them that I didn't need the guide.

I remember playing Hudson Hawk a lot on the Amiga, the music and the opening stages are etched into my brain.

I should add that I have never seen the movie.
