Only if you buy it at launch, with no discount.

But, wait 6-12 months and there's some pretty stunning depreciation on game costs.

 

Agreed, GTAV and RDR2 held their prices for over 12months but in the main prices drop after around 6 months or so and sub AAA games within 3 or less.


There are few games I'd buy at launch on PS5 from what I see H2FW will be one but even Spider-man is likely to be pre-owned or after a few months. I didn't see anything on the initial offering that made me think thats a day one purchase (no Knack was unforgivable) but the AAA game will start hitting in the second year onwards, the first 12-24 months will cover PS4 planned games that have been boosted upwards, True PS5 games won't be until 24 months in minimum and the best of the best won't be till yr 4 onwards.


This is the way

 

C19 is what has changed my MO this time around.

 

Y'all be crazy. I am not playing Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 when a perfectly good PS5 version is right there.

But y'know, early adopters for liiiife

 

That's probably one of the aspects that hooks me this time - playing PS4 games but boosted on PS5.

 

I seriously grew up in a household with laser disc and super vhs, and surround sound built into our ceiling in 1995.

 

Over 24 hours to download Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. Started the download just before going to bed Wednesday, and it finished the download around 2am Friday.

Getting up this morning I decided to quickly load it up for the first time and make sure it had installed correctly and would actually run on my machine.

But no... Uplay tells me I need to download an update. How big? 30 gigs. How long? Game will be playable in a further 10 hours.

 

If it hadn't just come to light how systemically **** Ubisoft is as a company, I'd actually be excited about this.

 

Nintendo giving Trails of Cold Steel III the heavy marketing push is trying to give me an aneurysm, I swear to god. Falcom y u do this?

 

Hey, the SEGA Genesis Mini is on sale at Amazon for $39.99. Growing up I was a Nintendo guy so I never got into SEGA as a kid. I don't know why, but I kind of want this system. For those SEGA fans out there, and non SEGA fans, do you think this console is worth a purchase?

 

Reviews are generally pretty positive and from what I've seen in streams and such, the UI is slick.

Buuuuuut if you have another console, you may want to opt for whatever Genesis/Mega Drive classics collection is available on your system, as that's usually cheaper, especially during sales. In both cases you're doing pretty rudimentary emulation so it's not like one is "better" from a purist standpoint (No, better from a purist standpoint is either a Mister or a really, really beefy PC running something deep level. These will cost you hundreds of dollars in components and man hours! I do not recommend them as a sampler thing. ).

The comparison of titles is... weird. The mini goes for breadth, and because it's proprietary has third party titles the collection doesn't have (e.g. Konami would rather you buy the Castlevania collection if you want to play Bloodlines on your Switch). But the mini lacks repeat entries of franchises which can hurt a lot in those cases where you would want them (e.g. Phantasy Star, Shining, Streets of Rage). Also the mini takes up an extra HDMI port.

My gut is to point you towards the Classics collection rather than the Mini, especially if you're interested in the Sega-specific back catalog. But in both cases some Sega fans might argue you're still not really getting the main selling point in the US and Europe: quality 2D sports games.

 

I started Disco Elysium the other day and yo that game is my jam. It's already doing several things I've never seen before in games and I'm only like an hour in or so.

 

I was always a Genesis guy (because SEGA does what Nintendo don't!). I owned a few versions of the Game Boy; but that was the extent of the Nintendo consoles I had. Believe it or not, I still own a working Genesis console; along with quite a good amount of games for it.

 

I still have my Gensis AND my Nomad.

 

I thought it was GotY in 2017. Better than BotW.

 

Better than BotW, sure, but GotY? Don't be silly: Puyo Puyo Tetris came out in 2017.

*Stares in Nier: Automata*

 

I've been playing Tetris Effect in VR on my new Oculus Quest and that game is PHENOMENAL. I just want to keep playing even though I've been working a lot since getting it. Very frustrating.

 

Yeah and in a year where Puyo Puyo Tetris, the objectively greatest game ever made in the entire universe, didn't come out, maybe those could have been Game of the Year. But it did. It really happened! Miraculous though it may seem, there really is a Puyo Puyo Tetris. What is mortal sin in the face of this revelation? Seht, ich lehre euch das Puyo Puyo Tetris: das ist dieser Blitz, das ist dieser Wahnsinn!

 

Glad you're enjoying it. Can't wait for Valhalla personally.
