Didn't see a thread. I read that this game has a game inside the game that's like Pokemon and another one like Animal Crossing and started reading up about it. Saw a 30% off sale and jumped on the bells and whistles version. This is one of the best games I have ever played in my life.

I'm going WTF every few moments and it event made me laugh out loud for real. They have so many more "games" within the game than just those two. I have just five hours ..read more

I’m hoping for an October-ish reveal, January deep dive, and March release, similar to the Switch, but we’ll see ..read more

I'm really interested in the Top Spin 2k25 Grand Slam Edition. I don't want to try it out and then ask for a refund from Steam if I don't like it because if I do like it I'm stuck at $120. I know Lego 2K Drive went down in price a couple of months after, do their sport games do the same thing? I know it's online only, if I buy six months after do they shut it down when the next iteration comes or the server will be up for a while? Also I haven't found 2k23 or 2k24 to buy anywhere, you can only get the current one? Speaking of that, I can't find any info of those, is top spin 4 in 2012 the pre ..read more

I'm doing a Spoiler: Light playthrough and want to eventually do a Spoiler: Dark playthrough and maximize all friendships, explore the grounds, etc. But I just want to finish the story once first straight to the end.

Does anyone know why there aren't more 3D arcade video games being released on modern video game consoles? One thing about a lot of 3D arcade games was that they were so much more advanced than what was possible on the then-current video game consoles (Saturn, PS1, N64) so any home releases were severely scaled back when being ported to consoles. Or if they were released on the next consoles (DC, PS2, GC or Xbox) the games tended to be "enhanced" in some way, but rarely were there any straight arcade ports released for any home video game console. So is there a reason why there are still not m ..read more
