These were indeed the good ole days of Pokemon. I do enjoy playing later titles and have enjoyed the most recent Legends Z-A. But, it is nothing like Red, Blue and Yellow. Overall, I am happy to have Pokemon games in my life at all times. Never can get enough of this series.

I have played this game on various platforms since it launched. It has taken a massive change in the 7 years it has been running. But, it does get a bit of the same ole same ole very fast. In some cases, the paid content is not worth it. I think any game can get old over time. I have been playing the Pokemon Legends Z-A since launch day pretty much non stop. I just started the DLC for it. I had to take a break from all the grinding that is required to prepare for the DLC and just exploring to finish base game content and post game content.

Really getting tired of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo catering to the last gen systems. When they release a game on both systems, the new version for the new system is a joke because it is limited by the PS4 version. So, you get God Of War on PS4 first. Games looks great on PS4 and was first out. Then, they release it for PS5 with very minor upgrades. Game still looks great. But, it costs more to buy for the very little increase in graphics and performance you actually get. I have been having the same exact issues on my Switch 2. Stop making version for both systems. The developers are using the last gen version as the base for the new version and system.

Then don't play it. I bought a Switch 2 on launch day and I have been putting in time and having lots of fun with various games. I admit, Donkey Kong Bananza did not hit me as being great and I still need to finish it. But, some games do that. Nintendo stays consistent on their games so it leaves no surprises for the player. Best example, Pokemon games. Legends Z-A has been stellar. But, I also love Pokemon. Metroid Prime 4 looks a little stale. It still manages to sell well because of the people that love Metroid as a series. PS5 and XBOX are not exactly knocking it out of the park as of recent and I have both of those systems too. Battlefield 6 is broken badly. I still buy and play old XBOX 360 games because they seem to be better than some of the newer titles. It is all about what you enjoy.

Funny, sure felt like the entire beta was still full of cheaters. People doing things in the game that did not seem possible at all. Furthermore, getting my blood pressure up trying to figure out how and why,

I played about 4-5 rounds of the BO7 beta this past weekend. Maps were not bad and guns were pretty good overall. But, this is the same old same old gameplay you get in any other COD game released already. People running around with no real purpose, other than to get as many kills as possible. People bringing up their scope and they automatically lock onto your head with a perfect headshot. Same with quick scoping for sniper rifles and other guns as well. Battlefield 6 is going to crush COD this year. Much better modes and forces you to do Teamwork instead of running around like a pre teen goon getting as many kills as possible to be number one on the leader board.

Think I will wait till way later down the road to get this when the price has really dropped. Heck, I have not even gone through the first 3 games yet and have had them for a while now.

I am still running an over 5 year old rig right now and it is still delivering for me. 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen 9 12 core CPU, 64GB of RAM, NvEM SSD Drives, GeForce RTX 2060 with 6GB of video RAM. Until I cannot run a particular game or several games in particular, I will stick with this for now. The prices of video cards and CPUs are astronomical these days. You can drop over a grand just in a CPU and video card now.

I have the launch PS5 with disc drive and I never turn it on. I will never buy another Playstation because I am getting tired of Souls Like and Rogue Like games being the new norm. I work for a living and do not have time to master those games. Switch 2 has been great for me since launch.

Ridiculous! This is just greed. Sony has made more than enough money off the PS5 since launch and continued that trend for the past 5 years now. I barely even turn mine on anymore since all Sony wants to put out is the same old same old. Always releasing more Last Of Us remakes and remasters with higher frame rates. I played it on PS3 the day it released and ran through it once. Good enough for me and it looked great at the time.

This looks to be a pretty solid racer. I think this might actually topple Mario Kart World with all the insanity going on while you race. Once I unlocked all the Karts and mainline racers, Mario Kart World just got boring to me. Free Roam should have had a much better pay out than stickers.

Pretty bland month for Switch 2. I already own Kirby and can get the upgrade pack for 20 bucks. But, that extra added story content better add some serious hours for the price. I am not very impressed with the mouse controls that I have used. Cyberpunk 2077 plays much better using a Pro Controller or handheld mode. I find the mouse controls are more of a gimmick than anything else than a staple of the system. At least I still have Bananza to go through and finish.

I played this way back when it first released on PS4 and could not wait to play it. But, after finding myself watching more cinematics and cut scenes that actually playing the game, I only got half through it before turning it off for good. Like most of the Sony exclusives up to today, spending more time watching cinematics and cut scenes seems to be the trend they have taken on and less actual playing of the game.

I just play them all. Start with 50CC and work through them all till I get through 150CC. So far, this Mario Kart is a little different from past titles. The Knockout Tournament is chaotic and is a great addition. Free Roam, not sure how I feel about that yet.

I have been looking up everything I can on this game. It seems that they added Knockout Tournament and Free Roam and that is it. Free Roam is not getting the best reviews right now and rightfully so based on what it has to offer. Knockout Tournament, Nintendo did that one right. It just looks chaotic and fun..........period! The soundtrack sounds fantastic with each track having it's own music. The rest of the game is like any other Mario Kart game. Hopefully, Nintendo will add more to this or change up the Free Roam to give back more than it does now.

We should have a better idea later this week after the Switch 2 launch. I am hoping to see this game really pop this week. The only mode that even looked worth playing is Knockout Tournament. Here is to praying for a great launch title. But, if I can manage to land a Mario Kart World bundle, I will just get that since the price is 30 bucks off in the bundle.
