PleaseBlitz Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Downloaded the Harry Potter game. Mostly because my kids wanted me to. So far (about 1 hour in) it has some promise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalhead Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) I just found this cool blast from the past. Christmas shopping at Toys'R'Us in 1991. At the 17:29 mark they get to the video game aisle and it is glorious! Edit - Also, does anyone else remember Lowes having an electronics section? They used to have a glass case filled with new NES games and one Lowes near me had a playable SNES hooked up to a tv display.

purbeast Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The actual video GAME aisle was cooler than the one with the consoles. Sure seeing all the consoles out on display were awesome, especially when they had Neo Geo there. But going down the aisle with the game box art where you flipped them up to see the back of the box, and then each one had a ticket under it... now THAT was my ****. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Late to Hades but it's sucking my time now. Especially the final boss level. Definitely a portable dungeon crawler rec if anyone is looking for one.. My only complaint is that I have to wear my reading glasses to play it. 😆 tiny text.

We had Hechinger before it was replaced by Home Depot and subsequently Lowes. And as a kid who found Hechinger to be a place of torture, they did not have an electronics section.

I am pretty sure Hades 2 comes out this year. I was addicted to Hades for a bit. If you like Hades and haven't checked out Dead Cells, I highly recommend it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything felt like an exciting blind buy. And even then the worst games were still challenging or fun. My dad would take my brother and I to the local pawn shops on fridays to get NES games. No cases, no booklets, just the cartridge and hope for the best when we got home. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I enjoyed all of the voice acting, the aesthetics and using all of the different weapons. Dead Cells is my jam, been playing that for years now, maybe I'll beat it one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Hades was definitely grindy. On the plus side, the level runs usually lasted less than 10-15 minutes until I started learning to dash dash dash and understood the boon system. Still haven't been able to beat final boss Hades but I'm getting there. Edited January 14 by The Evil Genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they didn't want to go the Uncharted route so that it wouldn't be compared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Does seem weird that they skipped Sony since PS5 has a commanding lead over Xbox right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
