Planescape Torment, enhanced edition....coming in 2 weeks. I never played the first time. Might need to buy a new iPad just for this....

 

edit: Or, i could use an actual PC and mouse and monitor.....

Wowwwwww. I just flashed right back to 1999. I completely forgot that game existed.

I did bring up the recently released spiritual successor earlier in the thread I think (Torment Tides of Numera); worth checking out if you like heavy-text old school rpgs.

did you play tides? I do love Monte's work, but I don't usually play video games....

I started it, and played about 5 or so hours.  It's really a pretty game, and well-written, and strange and atmospheric; there was very little combat so far, but it's a neat game that I'll get back to when I have more time.  Since it requires so much reading, it doesn't itch that videogame twitch spot for me when I'm winding down.   But on free weekend day, sometime soon, I hope to immerse myself, as its more interactive sci-fi novel than game.

Caught up on a ton of nostalgia tonight... My older brother kept our old Super Nintendo and we spent the night playing games from our childhood! The games are a little more difficult than I remember. Then again, we also weren't 10+ beers deep when we played it as kids.

No, you simply didn't know any better when you were a kid. Games made from 1980-1995 are far more difficult than the games that followed.

 

And for good reason. Dying 200 times to beat a game that plays through in 58 minutes is the only way to make that game seem like a reasonable value. In today's games, you rarely/never die but actually explore new scenes and locations for hours on end.

So today is the launch day for the Super Nintendo classic with 20 some games included. Nintendo continues to F up by not producing enough consoles to meet the demand. 

The bundled package is already being sold for 2-3 times the original price of $80 on Amazon, Ebay, etc. 

When will Nintendo learn to create more product to meet the demand? All they're doing is alienating interested customers.

I have somehow never really embraced video games. If there was only a really good RPG that was turn based......I'm a bit old school.

 

I really enjoyed the Wii games with the family. We used to play Mario Cart (Kart?) and tanks and other games, but you know, the boys played a lot, and it wasn't like I ever won......

I loved video games as a kid, but now I feel the same way as you stated.

We should rename this a video game thread.

 

Cuz this Spiderman game is ridiculous. All that I loved about the Arkham series and more.

The Switch is a good platform.

 

The Spider Man game is very good from what I have seen.

 

Raft is a fun game with friends.
