Banter RDT CVXXXI - BigTank

[Agent93]

You normally should never pre-order games but I understand those who put their money down already for the new Zelda.

I haven't pre-ordered anything else in nearly the past decade.

If it's unplayable day one, then more fool me and I'll go back to being a grumpy curmudgeon and not buy anything until it's proved to not be broken (still haven't bought Cyberpunk or No Man's Sky).

Cyberpunk is ****en excellent.

 

[Truckosaurus]

No Man's Sky's soundtrack is ****ing excellent

 

[Godfather32]

Console games are one thing that haven't really gone up in price over the years.
I remember paying between $50 & $70 for most Sega games (unless they were terrible and on sale) at Kmart and Toy Wonderland in Midland when I was a kid

 

[Godfather32]

This bring back some memories

WOULD IT KILL YOU TO PUT THE BANTER TAG ON THE THREAD

No DanWCE supporters tag just for you

This bring back some memories

I remember when my dad first got into computers he was reading PCworld or similar’s December 1996 issue

As a six year old I found a review on a joystick - headphones combo hilarious because it wrote a three paragraph review on the merits of they joystick - but the headphones rated four words “they’re pissy little headphones”

The monthly playstation magazines were always a highlight + free demo disc

I got the Mario Kart course pack thing for my birthday last Wednesday and haven't had a chance to activate it yet.

Hell, got Mario Kart itself for Christmas last year and I've played through one GP

Loved Hyper, PC PowerPlay, Atomic etc. The Aussie mags.

I think PC Powerplay is still published but I haven't read it in years.

I do still pick up Retro Gamer when they do their bigger collection/annual issues though.

I got a mini SNES a couple of years ago, reckon I've played it about 5 times since I bought it

Speaking of games, I see there is a new AFL game coming out soon
(I stopped following these ages ago, when it seemed likely that nobody was ever going to make a good one)

Does it look like it will be the usual standard of game ?

 

[Dazzler9]

I was into different types of magazines when I was younger.

I read that the entire game has the same budget as just the menu of the NBA 2k games

Is the video game industry as simple as more budget = better games

I always figured you were a big polo player

I would think it helps, especially for a sports game. Maybe not so much for something that doesn't rely on movement and collisions etc to play

More a dressage kind of guy.

Haha same.

I actually bought two, with the intention of selling one for $profit$

Looking at eBay I should have bought the mini Mega Drive instead

Should still at least break even on the SNES though.

It looks better than usual, but still not up to the level of EA games obviously.

 

[Spoon_Man]

Would the original Xbox be worth anything? I found my old one in a box the other day.. Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 ftw!!

 

[THE A5]

I swear the AFL games all look like they were made in 04

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I preordered the day I found out EB, JB and the PlayStation store all listed different commentary teams. So good.

The thread on the videogame thread is amazing. The poor mods.

Not far off

PC Powerplay and their demo discs. God I had a stupidly large collection of those.
