Strikers was genuinely great. Especially since you don’t see arcade style soccer games often. If ever.
3-on-3 hoops for the OG DS was great too. It’s controls hasn’t aged well but it was great for its time. Having final fantasy characters as unlockable characters was cool as shit too.
I got started on that game Vampyr the night before last and it. Is. Awesome! I like that it mashes up several different kind of things well and has some really incredible atmosphere to boot. I’ve been playing it largely at night with headphones on and the sound design is pretty stellar with a lot of great voice acting, ambient sound, and music.
It’s one of of those games that I haven’t heard a lot about but I’m glad I pulled the trigger on it much like that Shadow of Destiny game on PS2.
You should try Rocket League!
No. I already played soccer mode 5 forza’s ago
Depends on which sports games we’re talking about. I’m assuming we’re not including the kart games in with the sports. The Tennis games have a great following. Aces is fun imo. My wife and I love playing 2 on 2 and played some people online. Then you have the Strikers games which have been tons of fun and chaos. The fact that there hasn’t been a 3rd game is criminal but personally I want Next Level to do another Punch out game first before another another Strikers game.
I played Mario Tennis on 64 is very fun. The newest iterations have too many things that take the tennis component away imo. It becomes mario kart with a racquet (lots of rng and lifesavers rather than skill).
I’ve always wanted a port/remake/sequel of Looney Tunes B-ball. That was sooooo much fun. I know the concept is staight out of Jam but the silly powers and characters just made it special on its own. Too bad it only had like 8 charscters but that gem could be played up to 4 people (with a special adapter). Imagine it released now
I don’t include Kart/racers games as sports titles.
Keep in mind there like 3 or 4 sport games ever that I actually like (from any series/console).
Mario Strikers for the GC is like a honorable mention category for me.
I also don’t see Wrestling or Boxing as a Sports Titles.
3-on-3 hoops is garbage tier.
ohhh yeah, I’m always glad to see another enjoying this game. As I’ve mentioned a few times before, in certain ways this was the vampire game I’ve always wanted, ever since I was a little kid. It gets so much of the lore absolutely right, there’s a great deal of freedom in your choices, there’s the consequence of your actions being highlighted, and the ever-present temptation of whether or not to feed on people (and which ones) to acquire more power…along with certain issues of morality, the confusion of being a newly-turned vampire in the beginning, leading a double-life, etc. etc. There’s of course a lot of more detailed things I absolutely love but those are naturally spoiler territory (*like that reveal of a certain person showing up midway kinda out of nowhere…SO good…)
I really can’t say enough good things about it. I wish there would be a sequel to this eventually… it would be interesting to see Dr. Reid once again in a later time period, like perhaps the 1950s or '60s. (*another thing with vampires— the potential for storytelling is huge since you can have the same characters revisited in any time period since they are immortal.)
sidenote-- fine ass Lady Ashbury could get bent over the couch anytime.
Yeah I’m having a blast with it so far. The morality thing is definitely front and center, especially since my Entrancement level is 1 and the only people I can hypnotize are people like the guy whose wife died and the anarchist guy in the bar (I ate that guy who lied about his facial injury tho😆) How do you level up your entrancement?
Right now I’m trying to find Nurse Crane and figure out who’s been spying on the woman who thinks she’s a vampire.
And you ain’t lying about Ashbury, she’s got a captain Janeway thing going on lol!
oh yeah, your entracement—mesmerization I think it’s called–that just kinda levels up naturally as you get deeper into the story.
The delusional woman—heh, that reminded me; it would have been interesting to see what happens if you could turn her…and thus her delusion would suddenly become a reality. haha yeah I’m the kinda vamp that would do such a thing simply for the sake of my own amusement.
Generally I went thru as a “nice” version of Dr. Reid on the first run of this game… I did feed but only on a few people here and there…so a mix of good and evil, basically. My 2nd playthru on XB1 was definitely more on the dark side of things. That whole Whitechapel area fell into ruin because I got a bit carried away with feeding over there like it was a buffet 
that place ended up as a dead zone. I didn’t get to see what happened to a particular boy I purposely left alive, actually… I fed on his father, making him into an orphan…but then I slept at my “haven” and the front page news the next day was “The Fall of Whitechapel”—everyone was dead or missing. haha and there’s an achievement for that, btw.
There’s also an achievement called “Not Even Once” where you go through the whole game without eating any of these people… and as you might expect, that’s quite a difficult task there since you’ll be so much weaker as a result.
Whitechapel is a mess anyway 
I stumbled in there while looking for the nurse last night and there was even a blood beast like in Bloodborne there, which I let hack the members of that order up before I dispatched it)
I usually play it like you’re saying, the first run I do what I normally would, but then on subsequent runs I go ham on NPCs and I have a feeling that’s how it’ll go here too.
So you can’t turn the delusional woman? She was near the top of my list of people to get when I hit level 2 mesmerization. But I guess at that point I have plenty of options. Still, as soon as I met her I was like “I’m going to give you the choice I Neve had” 
Oddly enough I missed the quest for the delusional woman the first time through. I couldn’t find whoever was spying on her… it wasn’t until my 2nd playthru that I did that sidequest.
It does seem like some tragically missed sidestory potential there—what happens when you have the power to make a person’s supernatural delusions into reality? Maybe she calls too much unwanted attention from hunters since she’s not a stable person…or maybe they could have you teaching her the fine art of discretion and restraint, as any responsible sire should…or perhaps one night you return to the hospital to see she’s ate and killed everyone…totally out of control… there’s so much potential there a good writer could play with.
hah, I still remember that low-class criminal you meet early on…the first possible “meal” the game throws your way… yeah that was my first victim.
I will be putting in the preorders for those 2 so I can have my wife yell at me lol. Preorders ain’t up yet though right?
Not that I know of know. You know I’ll post ASAP when they do lol
Basically turned my house upside down looking for Splatoon2. Couldn’t find it, and just bought another copy… I’m sure if I find it, I’ll be able to sell it for what I originally bought it for, if not close to it though. I think it was on sale + GCU assist.
Game is still such a blast.
Hero and Joker preorderable at Best Buy.

Would be hype for Terry or Banjo, but as big of a DQ and RPG fan that I am these amiibo do not urge me to break out the wallet.
