FirstAidKite posted:I think the best 007 game post-Goldeneye is Everything Or Nothing. Just an overall fun and neat game, though I wish I had someone to play the co-op campaign with. lol at Shannon Elizabeth being a Bond girl... but only in one of the videogames. Not sure why I never played it. I remember hearing it was pretty good, but not... great? Which is kind of what I meant earlier. The games seem to be decent usually, but never all that popular or above the rest of the riff-raff. I guess when you stick to the Bond formula and world you have to try extra hard to make it inventive and exciting.

Everything or Nothing wasn't perfect but it was fun that it often had multiple paths through certain levels (not all levels) and the gadgets and guns and stuff you had access to let you deal with situations in a variety of different ways. Also it's kind of funny looking back at it now because one of the stages is you chasing down Jaws and trying to stop him from flooding new orleans by destroying the locks with special nanomachines since the whole game was made pre-katrina

Quest For Glory II posted:apparently the AAA game industry is having a little bit of a crisis right now. according to PAL charts, Watch Dogs 2 sold only 20% of what Watch Dogs 1 sold in the same timeframe from launch. Similarly, Mankind Divided sold half of what Human Revolution sold, Gears of War 4 sold 25% of what GOW3 sold, Titanfall 2 sold 25% of what Titanfall 1 sold, Infinite Warfare sold half of what the last COD sold. Remember this is not "(X) launch week vs. (Y) lifetime sales" but "(X) sales after (Z) days vs (Y) sales after (Z) days" How are Toys To Life games doing? Oh. Oh no. I think we killed another golden goose, guys.

I'm pretty sure LEGO Dimensions is actually selling pretty well, probably because they bothered to make it a good game and also the toys are things one might actually want to own on their own merits.

Yeah, I'm not surprised Skylanders is tanking. This year was particularly bad in terms of being appealing as a toy OR as a game. Not bad just I can't imagine any kid really giving a poo poo.

I turns out my wife and I probably going to play Mass Effect together, because she really wants to play it but her laptop is a Mac. I might play the second Bioshock game in my effort to catch up with old games that I'm only just getting to, since I played the first one a bit ago.

The Skylanders collapse is sad because they're basically the new Beanie Babies, parents spent literally thousands on their kids' collections (some with the mistaken impression that this would be popular for a very long time or that the toys would retain value) and now they're sitting on a ton of garbage plastic statues their kids don't care about. I preordered Pokemon Moon at Gamestop for some reason, and when I went in to do it the people in the "trade-in" line were a working class married couple trading in like a hundred figurines, literally bags full, for a total that had to be less than the price of a single new game (they were at $20 after going through like half of them)

What's worse is that they could easily get a lot more just selling them online, not even trying to price gouge people, just getting at least *something* reasonable back. There's no reason to trade stuff in to gamestop other than convenience of being able to do it all at once.

I've traded a few games in at Gamestop because dealing with all the flighty wannabe lowballing dealhunters on Craigslist isn't worth the annoyance anymore. Same with eBay because lmao sending anything via post in 2016.

The good news about the Skylanders collapse is that it finally frees up Fred Ford to do something fun, maybe, and if we're lucky, he'll work with Paul Reiche.

Same with eBay because lmao sending anything via post in 2016. In the case of skylanders figures, people are always trying to outdo each other if you just put up an auction for one on ebay. Plenty of times I see them start the auction at 99 cents and then it ends at anywhere between 18 to 40 dollars.

Meanwhile the Sega Genesis Collection has stuttering and input lag with the default interface

In 2030, college kids will talk about their first Skylander/toy-to-life like people would talk about the first arcade game they played. There will be strong opinions about the best generation of Skylanders and a grey market for Skylander-to-VR converters so hobbyists can relive their youth in a post-TV world. Do you remember your first Skylander?

Yeah, third-person stealth action (with vehicle segments) was a much better fit for Bond than FPS and the open level design combined with all the optional Bond Moments you could unlock by playing cleverly (like sneaking around a group of enemies and using a steam vent to cook them alive instead of just shooting them) gave it a fair amount of replayability. Plus Willem Dafoe as a Bond villain with a platinum and nanomachines shtick.

I was never able to finish Wily's castle as a kid, and I loving loved the giant dragon boss in Wily 1. I'd say prolly Flash Man or Metal Man, but I thought Quick Man was the coolest.

So, has anyone gotten Sun/Moon who's in the same boat of not having really liked a pokemon game since second, maybe third gen as myself? I kinda want Sun/Moon, but everything good I've heard seems to be from a die-hard fan perspective.

Chill Penguin. I didn't own a NES, just a SNES. And the spider boss took me so long to defeat, even though in retrospect it wasn't really that hard.

My honestly feeling is that it's a solid and fun game. I'm not super-duper crazy thrilled with it but I had more fun with it than X/Y (I skipped Omega Sapphire/Ruby because I was bored as hell with Pokemon.) It's unarguably still Pokemon but does a lot to be charming and accessible.

The spider is definitely the hardest boss in Mega Man X. I can beat like three stages without taking damage but I sometimes still have to use a sub-tank when I fight the spider. The first robot master I ever beat was Cut Man, but I think Mega Man 3 is the first one that I beat.
