Random gaming thoughts.

Welcome to the thread in which you can express your random gaming thoughts that are unrelated to any other thread.

My thoughts right now: I really am hesitating to buy a new pokemon for the first time. Especially since I have a feeling that it may be redone on the Switch.

I'm not buying a Pokemon game ever again after being bamboozled into buying Pokemon Y

It was pretty run off the mill yeah. I think im gonna wait for long term impressions from players before I get one of them, otherwise i'll wait at least a year to see if there's gonna be a yellow type of deal.

I've been thinking to sell all wii u games but keeping the console itself(hack reasons). I wonder how much I could make with it. Nintendo games usually dont go down in value, but this is the Wii U. Could go up because of few prints, but could also go down because of little interest

Think it greatly depends on what Nintendo do. If they re-release the more popular Wii u games on the Switch, then the Wii u versions will probably decrease in value. The console itself will probably go up in price after a while due to people wanting it for their collection etc and it not really selling that well.

It's always a tricky one to risk, but personally, I have no issue in getting rid of mine. It was the final straw that will probably see me not buy another Nintendo console again.

Thanks for your input. I just put all games for sale. Now lets see how much I can get out of it. Not gonna lie I had quite the amount of games for Wii U, mostly 1st party. I could possibly get out of it as much as it would likely cost to get the Switch console. I'm not planning to get it soon just like you but in the case of Switch becoming a huge succes story with support from everywhere, I may jump in sooner than later. With that I mean probably a good year into the thing's life. I also need  to know about the ergonomics of the thing because nintendo handhelds including the wii u gamepad have had shit ergonomics imho.

Really hate youtube thumbnails and how they spoil gaming moments sometimes. It just ruined a game for me recently showing the final boss. Like why the fuck would u do that.. sigh

I wanna get into the dragon quest franchise through dragon quest 7 and 8 on the 3ds. Anyone who played these games?

[Tad]

Sorry, never played them.

I really hate it when a game series jumps formats and it tends to make me not bother with it ever again. Things like, VC jumping from PS3 to the sequels going to PSP. Or Kingdom hearts to 3ds, or FF7 titles to PSP.

Opa Opa for the Sega Mark III (Fantasy Zone The Maze on Master System) is Classic Game Room's 2016 game of the year!

I don't remember Gta IV being this boring. What a slog..

In my mind, the Playstation 4 is clearly the best console on the market...


The PS4 of 2016/2017 is basically the Xbox 360 of 2008/2009/2010. Meaning that it has something for everybody, be it JRPGs(lots and lots of'em), be it smaller indie titles (some getting actual boxed releases) and major triple AAA titles.

[crackdude]

You're wrong tho.

[Tad]

I'd say it is. PS4 has the financial stats to back it and unlike the Wii, the gamers too. It has the best versions of third parry titles and a huge selection of exclusive games on it with more to come.

If your thinking PC, that's not actually a console, so...

I have to wonder though, when will we hit the limit? The power can increase all it wants, but it's pretty clear that devs can't keep putting more in financially or mentally.

It also doesn't require the internet like the Xbox One does.
