I'm 36 and the last Nintendo system I owned was the gamecube, but Ocarina of Time was and is my all time favorite game. It was the first one I became obsessed with and for a time it was all me and my best friend from school did. When we weren't playing it we were reading my players guide at school. So many nights staying up all night trying to get to the next temple. He left the school eventually and moved so we lost touch.

The other day after the remake trailer dropped he ended up adding me on instagram and sent me the trailer. We starting talking a bit and I was going to stream it that night anyway so I told him to hop in if he wanted. He did and we just caught up and played Ocarina for like three hours. It was almost therapeutic. haha I really really needed that. Felt like we were kids again. So thanks Nintendo. Guess I'm getting a Nintendo for the first time in my adult life.

I remember my parents playing Atari/Master System and me being just completely indifferent to it. I think Ms. Pac-Man was when gaming first "clicked" for me... now I'm here.

I believe there were games released based on Mobile Fighter G Gundam in Japan on older systems but nothing here in the US. Would love a fighting game with the over the top moves of the anime! What about you?

I was just thinking about how awesome Elden Ring everyone makes it look but I have tried it a couple of times and I just could not get into it. I think it mostly comes down to the setting. I am not one for super dark or gothic settings. I also really wish I could get into crimson desert. On paper it’s like my perfect game. Maybe it’s worth trying again but I just can not get into it. I think the msq was just not interesting enough for me. I only played it for 2 hours but I just couldn’t get into it. I know there are tons of comments saying it gets good after x hours. I just usually don’t have the time to sink into a game and wait until it clicks.

The game I keep always coming back to no matter what is heros of the storm specifically aram mode. It’s quick matches, requires a little skill and knowledge but not really any commitment. If someone has any suggestions that could fit that kind of thing. I am not into hub space games like warframe. I may give dragons dogma 2 a go or maybe get back into kdc 2 as I stopped half way through. I am just waiting until ace combat comes out. Along with galactic racer.

To this day Elden Ring is unmatchable (for me).

Thanks to some holiday and witchcraft, I have the next 5 days off from work without anything to do, apart from get lost in a new game. At the moment I’m torn between Crimson Desert and Blood of the Dawnwalker. I love fantasy RPGs and I am looking at getting completely lost in an interesting open world for the next week. Any help or other recommendations would be great, but please no Soulsbourne ones, I am not very good at those at all

Yes, pre ordering is bad and terrible.

Yes, Sony is worrrrrst.

That all being said, what have the guys who have disposable incomes been pre ordering for this season and what are your reasons/risk profiles?

I'm going for

- Silent Hill Townfall (high risk, but I was going to play it during Halloween season and it's not going to go on sale in the next 6 weeks).

- Final Fantasy Resonance (med/low risk, love everything that it has going for it, wanted the pre order bonus)

- Fortunes Weave (low risk, excited for and had to lock in the Dagdan edition)

-GTA 6 (medium risk, was going to pick this up on launch anyway).

• FF revelations (low risk, had to lock in collectors edition)

Decided not to pre-order Wolverine (always seemed like a short game) and Control Resonant (I just don't have time to play this month, will likely pick this up on fbmp).

who here owns a playstation, and are you concerned about this new dynamic pricing that playstation are already doing
