Everything Video Games!

Finished the main story for The Witcher 3 and starting on the expansions now.

Great game, though one of the buggiest I have ever played. In addition to being overburdened without it indicating that I was, here are a couple other bugs I faced a few times and thank Reddit for help.

Geralt will not dive. No matter what you do you can not go underwater to get a treasure chest, quest item or navigate to an area where diving is required to complete the quest.

Boats won't move. Boat's remain stationary and never move once you get in them.

Whenever one of these bugs occurs, the only way to correct it to to manually save the game where you are at, fully close the game and restart it. These bugs persists until the game is quit and reloaded.
 
New expansion to the Pokemon TCG Pocket coming out this week, along with trading apparently.

I'm only missing a few "non-special" from each set if anyone wants to trade. Not sure if it'll be possible to trade EX's.

Pack - Missing Cards

Pikachu - Blastoise EX

Charizard - Poliwrath

Mewtwo - Moltres (regular), Eelektross, Dragonite

Mew - Gyarados EX, Raichu, Pidgeot EX

I'm both excited and not excited. I want to complete the last expansions before getting more. But then again, I haven't gotten any new cards in weeks.

Also, when it comes to full art carts, why do I keep getting the same 2 over and over again. I legit have 17 of one of them from the Mew expansion now, but missing most of them.
 
I recently finished playing Donkey Kong Country 3 via Switch Online and it's a really fun platformer. I played it when I was younger on SNES and only ever got past the first world. I might not have finished it without the ability to suspend play and essentially rewind to before I died or missed something. It feels like that feature isn't entirely necessary on the NES/SNES games, but there must be a reason for it. Now I'm playing Super Mario 3 and also spamming the rewind feature to get past some tricky areas.

I really want the Donkey Kong Country 2 remake.

What I don't want to do is continue to buy into Nintendo's pricing in which almost nothing ever goes on sale and games are $80-90 CAD forever.

I think I'm almost at the point where I'm done with Nintendo systems.

I might start playing that one on Switch Online since it's "free" with the Online membership. I can't see how the remake is anything other than a graphics update, I wouldn't buy it if I were you. Maybe it goes down to $35~ USD if you're lucky in 3 years.

I only ever got barely into the first world on that game back on SNES. This level's music is so nostalgic to me, instantly teleports me back to 1999~
 
I saw that apparently in the US, PS+ will be discounted effective 2/14 for "Lunar New Year." For anyone (like me) who isn't currently subbed, might be a good way to save a few bucks.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards not getting it. As I said, I'm kind of over Nintendo's game pricing. There's rarely any sales, or price drops. I have the PS5 and with PS Plus it pays for itself with how many games I end up downloading. Occasionally I'll snag a game on sale unless it's something I really want at full price. I'm kind of over the entire thing.

It’s pretty much the Nintendo games that never drop below a certain threshold. Any non-Nintendo game on the Switch/PS/Xbox always have price drops. There’s zero reason to ever pay full price for one of those games if you can wait. But Nintendo games are always $60 USD and will sometimes drop to $40 USD if you’re lucky after a few years. And that’s as low as they’ll ever go. Most of them are worth that price but some of them could be reduced further. Nintendo must have a stranglehold on distribution for never pricing them lower than that.

Yeah, and I BUY these Nintendo systems for Nintendo properties. I do this to myself every generation since the Wii now. I buy it, play the latest Mario/Zelda games, and it sits there collecting dust. Sure there's other Nintendo first party games I'd probably love to try...like my wife and I love to play Mario Party on occasion...but the newest one will be still full price most likely until the next one comes out. Just give me SOMETHING to make me buy games that I may otherwise not.

At this point it just makes me wish Nintendo simply went the way of Sega and just became a software company.

I played Wario Land 3 on switch back in 2023 and I would not have beaten that without the rewind feature. So much bs that can send you ragdolling and lose minutes of progress made the game frustrating not hard
 
Sigh....
In non Nintendo discussion.

I have had a PS5 since just after launch, and I almost immediately deleted Astro's Playroom (I guess I thought it was just to show you how the controller works?).

I decided on a whim to reinstall it and holy shit it's fun. So much so I bought Astro Bot and it's one of my favourite platformers of all time.
 
Also, got a logitech wheel/pedal combo for Christmas and snagged Gran Turismo 7 on sale. I am shocked at how not fun "The Real Driving Simulator" plays on it. I don't know if it's a skill issue or what, but it just feels so lacking and I've just kept playing on a controller.

F1 23 and 24 in comparison...man those are DESIGNED to be played with a wheel and pedal.

And we didn't get picked. I guess we can try for the waitlist tomorrow. I wasn't intending to buy it any way. I mostly wanted to take my kids to something fun at Fair Park.
