The only one of these classic re-releases for a retro console I've bought is the Mega Man: The Wily Wars, but that's mostly because I collect Mega Man stuff in general and it was a cool package. The Toaplan collection was tempting but I already have most of the original copies. I think it's cool for...

I laughed pretty hard at this.

The fact that they didn't even bother to look at the AI upscaled textures to make sure everything was OK speaks volumes about the amount of effort they put into this remaster.

That is to say, none.

I've gone on record before that I'm not a fan of the 5th gen in general and will accept all the tomatoes thrown at me for that. There's a lot of cool experimental stuff but almost none of it controls well and I don't particularly have nostalgia for the way things looked like I do with the pre-3D era...

Final Doom's campaigns are very much along the lines of early 90's expansion packs where they're designed to be extremely difficult. They can be pretty unfair at times.

I only use save states to practice stages or difficult areas now. I'm not too keen on repeating areas I've already proven sufficiency in. Or if a game uses 30 characters for passwords... not writing that crap down. This is what I do as well. I've already proven I can beat the level I don't need to ...

I never really got into PVP either but I enjoyed occasionally fending off invaders back in the day even if I died more often than not.

Switch is a good way to go as it's basically just a faithful port with a better framerate.

Dark Souls on ps3. Surprisingly, I'm seeing the ghostly apparitions of other players. Guess it's still popular and the servers are working. I typically play a cleric (I like the free heals). I save the Estus flasks for emergencies. The Dark Souls games still have a pretty healthy community. PvP hel...

Technically it only owns Blu-ray as a format. That's why the PS3 used Blu-ray but the Xbox 360 used DVD and opted for HD-DVD support via a separate add-on, iirc. Also, I think that's also why we don't have those bargain bin Blu-ray box sets like we did with DVD. Granted they films on those were typ...

But I also had to give up Hollow Knight because I didn't have the time, skill, or manual dexterity to get past one particular spot. But I totally would savestate through that spot if I could. The game is so compelling in other ways. I had the same experience with hollow knight but I don't think I'd...
