Video Game General v8.01D : PC Gaming Golden Age, Big Box (Part 1)

Okay good then maybe it was someone trying to make a joke. But the only part I saw as a joke was the one part I already knew. The other part of it was something that could have happened later on in the game.

Yo how is the newest Shantae game? I never got it when it came out and I am going to be bringing my Switch to the hospital since we’re there for 2 nights and there is bound to be some downtime, and I’m thinking of grabbing it. I’m assuming it is just more of the same and if you liked the previous one you will like the newer one?

I’m kind of tempted to bring my PS4 and Ghost of Tsushima but that is a bit overboard lol.

It’s good but easy as fuck…like easiest Shantae game yet.

SomeCallMeJohnny did a good review for it when the digital dropped.

I found the last one pretty easy too but it was just fun. It wasn’t like Kirby easy but it wasn’t Monster Boy hard or anything.

So it’s much easier than the previous one? I never played the OG one just the previous one on Switch.

Based on a review of a guy I trust (similar taste, not flip floppy, has been consistent for 10+ years) it’s a lot easier then the previous ones.

The fact he is honest about Sonic games while also being a huge (self admitted) Sonic stan. Makes him trustworthy imo.

Again I buy a game on one sale…and a few weeks later it’s on sale again at a lower price.

…and I haven’t even opened it yet.

This happened to me enough I just learned to be OK with it. Nothing you can do. The sales gods love to fuck with you.

Me…with a PS4, Switch, and gaming PC rig

It’s so weird that this has been a thing since the beginning of console gaming but every time it happens people act like it’s some new phenomenon and companies are fucks for doing it.

It takes two to make a deal like this. Get over it.

A character is fundamental part of the game. This is like the Mage class of a Final Fantasy game being exclusive to a console. Also, the Xbox and PC versions of the game ain’t getting jack shit to balance the scales. At least the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era did that.

Yeah I’ll never cosign that thought process. People need call out BS or nothing ever gets changed. I don’t think Sony would have reversed course on crossplay if people just ā€œdealt with it.ā€

Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is just a knee jerk reaction that happens every time ā€œexclusiveā€ content for a certain multi-platform happens.

It is likely a time exclusive bonus.

Also also, no one is forcing anyone to buy this. If people were on the fence and now they’re not because of this, awesome. If not? Okay.

There’s no language in Sony’s press release to suggest it is a timed exclusive. It’s all definitive. The only thing that’s timed are cosmetics rewards. Apparently Playstation got a 30 day lock on cosmetics for new hero releases.

Just to play devil’s advocate here for a second.

Why are entire games being exclusive to one console ok but not content?

Maybe. If it is. It is. Just don’t buy it. Vote with your wallet right?

I still feel like this is some sort of knee jerk reaction. They’re not going to openly say spider man is timed exclusive when right now Sony as a brand is pushing the Spider-Verse as hard as they are. That’s just bad business.

Maybe Xbox/Pc will get an exclusive avenger as well? Who knows? I’m not going to burn them at the stake over this though. Just seems like a waste of energy.

:point_up_2:

That’s simple. People pay the same price for the game but get less content dependent on their platform of choice.
