@CorbinD47117769 @goshjoshgames It wasn’t on my top 10, but I enjoyed it. The hate was exaggerated - half “influencers” showing the worst possible scenes from the launch version, half Internet pile-on cracking jokes about what they’d been shown with no investment of their own. Not great, but certainly good.

BUY PHYSICAL Both games playable without online connection Now that I’m a comic nerd again I thought some Marvel beat em up sounded fun. And let’s see how the worst game of last year is doing 8 months later for 14.99 I’m really curious

@DomTheBomb I don’t think It’ll be out in time. I also suspect first-party Sony will stop releasing games on disc even before they shut down production, but I hope I’m wrong.

…all levels, because you can only proceed with a Bronze score, which seems impossible without speed-running levels. Enemies spawn from nowhere. The story is disjointed. Generic "Agent Under Fire" Bond gets swapped for pixelized Pierce Brosnan partway through. I didn't enjoy it.

…feat of engineering. Now, the bad. I had to force myself not to give up. This may be the only game in my 007 marathon I can say that about. Blown up on a TV, it hurt my eyes, but I wouldn't have finished without save-states. For that matter, I needed the cheat code to unlock…

Mini-Review: 007 - NightFire (GBA on Retron5) First, the good. It's a technical marvel that this game is as substantial as it is and runs as well as it does as a first-person shooter for the GameBoy Advance. On a tiny screen, it looks pretty good; kudos to the devs for a true…

@xMBGx There are A LOT of frauds in this comment section. The same ppl saying that they won't buy the PS6 will buy it on day one, and Sony knows it. I will believe when i see it with all these ppl saying they won't get it. Ppl need to be very honest with themselves

@IRGIORGIO @MiamiSunryze LOL. Really? That’s your take? Yes - it will increase to 100% because that’s how math works when there aren’t two options. Even people buying all-digital now should be against this. Not only will your own games get more expensive without competition, but empathy is free.

Sony's decision to end physical media will be one of those "we should have known better" moments in a couple years when its apparent the damage to Playstation was considerably larger than they or the bootlicking ball-less fans were willing to acknowledge at the time. #playstation

After days of bullying PlayStation's accounts with calls for "no disc, no buy," boycott supports are accused of instantly folding for Black Ops ports. "Guys… you can't get excited about Black Ops on ps5 after you just spent all week trashing PS5…Stand strong for 2 secs holy crap." kotaku.com/playstation-no…

@DeeGeeGames2009 That’s my plan, actually, but with consoles all the way up to PS5. Plus, existing digital libraries unless they yank those away. I have more games than I can play for the rest of my life, and they don’t become “bad” just because new games get released.

Straight facts. As a collector, I’ve got more than enough on PS1 and PS2 to keep me busy for a long damn time. I’ve got over 1,000 PS1 games alone, so if modern gaming keeps heading in a direction I don’t like, I’m perfectly content diving into the retro stuff I missed as a kid.

This is so well said. 😂 Maybe Sony doesn't realize that: 1. Most of us have a backlog bigger than our life expectancy 2. The jump from PS5 to PS6 is going to feel a lot smaller than previous generations (law of diminishing returns at this point) 3. If they want us to stay engaged, maybe... I don't know... give us games? Good games that don't take 7+ years to make. And maybe bring back some of the creativity and variety that made the PS1–PS3 eras so special. Sony needs us more than we need them. They created so much value over the last 30 years that plenty of us have enough incredible games to play for decades. If the future is "$1,000+ digital-only console, fewer games, longer waits, and less ownership," that's not exactly a compelling value proposition. GG, Sony. Thanks for the memories. 🤣

@mousethegame It’s wild that a $30 indie can put their game on disc, but an $80 GTA6 won’t. Thanks Fumi Games/PlaySide for making sure this one will last beyond digital shutdowns years from now. @DoesItPlay1

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire@mousethegame·
MOUSE: P.I. For Hire's physical copies will not require an internet connection to play the game. If you insert the disc/cartridge into an offline PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, or Nintendo Switch 2, the game will be playable. If your console is connected to the internet, the latest update will be downloaded, which we recommend in order to install the latest quality of life improvements, bug fixes, and more. We hope you enjoy your time in Mouseburg 🐭

…blonde hostages, plant a bomb, and then find the exit to escape before the countdown. It isn't a long game if you make heavy use of save states, but stiff platforming and cheap enemy shots would make it difficult otherwise. It's a fun look at 007's gaming past, but that's all.

Mini-Review: James Bond 007 - The Duel (Sega Genesis on Retron5) I was an Atari/Nintendo kid growing up, so I never owned a Sega system (I had a GameGear for a while as an adult, but I digress). I added a few Genesis games to my collection over the years (this one is a recent…

…it, and back then I might have spent the weeks it would take myself, but that's not me anymore. It ends with the boss escaping. You're supposed to play through again, but sorry, no. I found it fun and very playable with that cheat code and save states, but otherwise, it's hard.

Mini-Review: James Bond Jr (NES on Retron5) 181287 That's the cheat/password to start the game with 99 lives, infinite ammo, and no time limit. Without it, I would have given up in the first stage when I realized that even with save states to undo mistakes, the 45-minute time…
