The Computer/Console Gaming Thread

Microsoft's upcoming first party games have apparently all been leaked via a login server database.

In addition to an unannounced Sea of Thieves Beta and Crackdown Beta there's entries for a new Fable, Perfect Dark, Forza Horizon, Age of Empires 4, a mech game, and a high player count version of "Microsoft's biggest franchise" (so probably a Halo battle royal game).

Plus EA is apparently releasing an HD remaster of Burnout Paradise in March. There better be no loot boxes added to Burnout.

The Mega Drive is terrible according to reviews and many games on the console are not real Mega Drive games but rather some BS they threw together to pad the numbers.

The Atari was much better received but unless you have a ton of nostalgia for that era it's probably best just to play the games on archive.org as that era hasn't aged as well as the 8bit and 16bit eras have.

Glad I didn't buy either then. I was checking the last release of the NES (is it) that sold out everywhere. But I never seem to have the time.

I think I'll just play my old dreamcast.

Remember how hard the speeder bike level of Battletoads is? Well someone did it blindfolded. https://www.polygon.com/2018/1/10/16...el-blindfolded

Anyone know what the deal is with EB Games charging a $10 premium over MSRP for Monster Hunter World?

Makes the digital version at $99 look like a bargain, even better if you buy from Amazon for $89 and wait a couple of days for delivery.

EB games always charges more because they can. I’ve always price matched whenever I bought games from them.

Normally they charge the MSRP, not above MSRP. Just seems out of the norm for a game to be above full price at EB. I'm guessing this probably isn't going to be a one off. EB is part of the cold heartless Gamestop Corporation after all.

Maybe there's enough people overpaying for Zing items they figure they can do it for games now.

I pre-ordered MHW from JB. Had a voucher from X-mas. So much excite.

This is the key to getting the most out of EB.

I have an EB closer to me than a Target, KMart or JB Hifi, but every time I do go to buy from them I get them to price match.

Just got around to watching today's Nintendo Direct. I guess I'll be rebuying DKC Tropical Freeze and I've been wanting to play a new Mario Tennis game lately so I guess I'm lucky there's a new one on the way.

Just take my money Nintendo.

How do I explain to my Mum who is technically illiterate that there is no point in selling all my old PC games around her house because they either don't work on current PC's, are tied to my Steam or Origin account, or are just not worth spending the time to sell because of how little value they hold today?
