Re: TV Show Review: The Last of Us (HBO) Season 2 Episode 1 - Structure Changes Keep Things Fresh

@Cornpop76 Exactly. Some people are easily fooled. Lol! That why I let it go & put him on ignore. He was just resorting to insults, goal post moving & mental gymnastics after getting called out. No time for that.

I agree that TLoU 2 pales in comparison to the original story. I thought the prologue of TLoU 2 (which we're seeing now) was engaging. I also though the last chapter riveting. The middle section of the game is what had the problems to me. I am curious to see how they change or flesh out the TV adaptation from the source material. Do you think they can fix the issues of the games story/presentation over the next one or two seasons? The therapy session was a nice addition for instance.

@roe @johncalmc Agreed. Something just seemed off. I had a few gripes, but the biggest was this. I remember the surprise of getting control of this new girl Abby in game and thinking What the heck? Who is this & why am I playing as her? They should have kept that surprise. Opening up with Abby & gang saying they are going after Joel was a mistake. The pacing of the game was better IMO. I cant fault them for wanting to try something new though. I will be watching every Sunday. No way they finish the story in 7 episodes though without a lot of compromises.

@PegasusActual93 So first it was your wife & now you think you saw a video from turkey? You're obviously lying. I understand what that guy said triggered you & you wanted to say something to get back at him, but number 1 on your list of retorts was just off. I can show you multiple videos of untrained men over powering women in Karate, Judo, BJJ & Muay Thai. I don't agree with what @Gr8VngnzN4esAngr said, but I'm also not going to ignore reality, virtue signal, make up stories & try to stand on a moral high horse like you. Real life isn't a video game. Us normal people know the difference.

Re: PS5, PS4 Locked Out of Vampire Survivors Cross-Save Due to Mysterious Legal Issue

NintenGuy

@GamingFan4Lyf False. Sony wanted cross play in the PS360 gen and Microsoft held out. Then when PS4 trounced The XBO Microsoft begged for cross play. Nintendo didn't open a cross play bubble quickly. They just got into it with the Switch. Also saying that Nintendo started cross save with the Super game boy is disingenuous. The Super Game Boy was literally Game Boy internal on a cart. So it wasn't cross saving anything. You were playing on a SNES but saving on Game Boy internals.

Re: Almost All PS5 Fans Are Against $80 Games

NintenGuy

I will never pay $70 for a nintendo game. I'll continue to buy used. I bought TotK new for $56 through that random Amazon price drop they a had a few weeks after launch. Got most of their 1st party games through Gamestop B2G1 free sales. Comes out around $34 each.

Re: Industry Analyst Argues Either Sony or Microsoft Will Need to Exit the Console Market

NintenGuy

@Nem Nintendo handhelds are successful for sure, but there has historically been a big drop off between each them. The biggest being the loss of over 50% of users between DS & 3DS. While 76 mill is a great number. That's a huge drop off in customers.

Game Boy/GBC: 118 million
Game Boy Advance: 82 million
DS: 154 million
3DS: 76 million

It'll be interesting to see if the new Switch will break this trend.

Re: Nov 2024 USA Sales: PS2's Sales Toppled by Switch As College Football 25 Becomes the Best-Selling Sports Game Ever

NintenGuy

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare I dunno about that. Most people I know that have kids have Playstations or Xbox S for their kids. The average person just isn't dealing with a PC. Why do you think there have been multiple Fortnite bundles on PS. Those aren't for adults. Lol! Also remember that beef Epic had with Sony because Sony has crazy fortnite numbers and revenue and epic backended a storefront to get that cash. Plus CoD & GTA still pull crazy numbers on PS. Kids and Teens are a big part of that.

@Ralizah Whats impressive is during its run the PS2 (160 mil) outsold the both consoles Nintendo had on the market GBA (81 mil) & GC (21 mil) by a large margin. While the Switch has done very well at over 140 mill, but its a noticeable drop from Nintendo's best gen even while consolidating its home & portable consoles. Also considering their Portables always outsold the home consoles by a large margin. 259 million sold with the Wii (105 mill) & DS (154 mil) was crazy. Plus like others have said. Adding Switch lite sale to that total is kinda BS since it can't you know...Switch.

Re: PlayStation Joins Social Media Shift as Bluesky Rockets in Popularity

NintenGuy

Bluesky seems to be where only one side of the political spectrum can say what they want to say true or make believe. X seems to be where anyone can say anything true or make believe, but lies can be checked with community notes. I don't have social media, but bluesky seems quite pathetic. Like the Miiverse of social media. An echo chamber, circle jerk where any criticism isn't allowed.
