Scarlet Nexus is looking good!

My dream Transformers game is one that plays and looks like Devastation [or better] but is 100% a 1986 Transformers The Movie video game... with all the main characters from both factions playable, and every main location as separate levels, ship battles included and a big ass fight against/inside Unicron at the the end.

I've never been much for playing my handhelds on the go either. Not after getting my driver's license anyway, and especially not now with a 2 year old. Used to be I'd take my 3DS or Vita with me to an appointment if I thought there would be a long wait. Or, at my old job where we had hour long lunch breaks... man, I miss those long lunches. Oh wait, I forgot, ALSO when I worked in the meat department on a closing shift. I'd get all the closing duties done super quick with at least 2 hours to spare, at which time I'd stand at the meat counter and make a small barricade in front of and on the sides of where my arms would sit up there and just play videogames. When a customer came, I'd help them real quick then go back to my game. Those were the glory days of adult work life. I never really play my switch in portable mode at home unless it's right before bed and I'm feeling exceptionally lazy, or on the rare occasion my wife is playing a game in the living room. Other than that it's just during visits with the in-laws when we're there for a few days.

I can't get into videogames on phones or tablets either. It just feels uncomfortable and weird, like I'm doing something wrong. Not as in I'm doing it wrong but like... blasphemous.

Yeah Streets of Rage 4 is looking really good.

I don't know how Alienware could ever put this into market without getting a lawsuit from Nintendo. I actually like it, but I'm sure it will cost more than I would care to pay for it.

Is this by any chance the guy you used to tell us stories about on SRK... the one who would make really bad decision like leave his 360 on for days to "break it in" and constantly pay to change his gamertag? lol, iirc you used to refer to him as "dumbass".

Is Stadia's sales worse than Ouya? I don't know the exact numbers but it seems like it. I still can't believe Razer ever bought Ouya...

That's rad. I like how you have a nendoroid there, too. I actually got my first one the yesterday.

Astrotrain looks pretty good. Again, though, I'm so on the fence with this line about the battle damage. After seeing cell-shaded Optimus and Megs, I really just wish they would release cell-shaded versions of the entire line, but that will never happen.

I've been contemplating getting Bloodborne soon. I've been playing Sekiro lately, which is my first From Software game... unless you count Enchanted Arms (you shouldn't count Enchanted Arms, heh), and I'm absolutely loving it. I can already tell I'm going to want more once I'm done with Sekiro.

I finally finished Bloodstained. What an amazing ride that was. They sure didn't leave anything to be desired in the way of secrets - which is great. I'm at 99.80% map completion and near level 50. I might try to fully complete this game being that I'm not tired of it yet in the slightest. After several days of email conversations with Kickstarter and Fangamer, I got to the bottom of why my copy hasn't been shipped. Turns out that even after you complete the survey, you later had to confirm your shipping address again before they can mail it. Even after speaking to several people across both places, none of them had an answer for me. Luckily, I decided to clear out my email and came across a confirmation from them in my spam folder from November 8th, so hopefully it will ship soon. I hear the "Special Backer Cover" is simply a cardboard sleeve, with the actual game cover being the same as regular retail, which is ass.

I'm glad to see Stadia fail, honestly.

I need a bigger desk.

Glad to see this awesome forum has its own identity now.

Not to give too much credit to that list as it has quite a few WTF's on it, but seeing MGSV on it just makes me wonder if I would feel any differently about the game if I gave it another shot now. It's been a few years since the disappointment of it turning out to not be a Metal Gear game. Then again, every time I see more Death Stranding footage it makes me feel even more secure in my initial thought that Kojima has lost his touch. I couldn't force myself to finish it and it felt like the only good aspect of it was the gameplay.

I've been playing Astral Chain. Makes me feel like I'm playing an 80's or 90's cyberpunk anime, something like Tank Police, Bubblegum Crisis, or A.D. Police, and I love it. I'll probably start the Gears 5 campaign at some point today.

KFC.

This cheap little Cyberverse Gnaw is, shockingly, the most 'toon accurate one. At this price I may very well build a small army of Sharkticons.

I've been pondering over pre-ordering Fans Toys Quietus. On one hand, I hate the repaint practice but, on the other, I passed on him and Sovereign the first time and kind of regret it. My guess is they'll probably do a repaint of Sovereign next, who is extremely hard to come across now.

Wait, this isn't Vanilla anymore? What is it? Edit: Read the dev log. Haha, I legit thought you just customized/modded the shit out of Vanilla until it was no longer recognizable as such.

I never understood why this forum didn't become "The new SRK". It is superior in every way to that discourse garbage. I'll be the first to admit that I hated Vanilla forums when it was on shoryuken.com, but misterbee certainly found a way to make it very appealing here. But hey, what's in a name.

X is not my favorite FF, but I do think the story is one of the best in the series. I've actually still never played X-2. No sure if I will this time or not.

I've been playing a couple of old games on Switch. Darksiders: Warmastered Edition - I can't believe I've ignored this series for as long as I have. I've looked at it before and thought I would enjoy it as it's basically a mix of Zelda and Prince of Persia (also reminds me of Legacy of Kain fairy often) but I never knew I would get into it as much as I am right now. I seriously like this game and the Switch port seems pretty solid. Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD - I played this game 3 or 4 times back on the PS2. I picked up the PS3 HD release but sadly never got around to touching it. The Switch version caught my attention, however. Being able to play this hybrid was too tempting. There's also the fact that I love the Pro Controller. Going from the PS2 version to this is a shocking difference. From what I've seen, it looks pretty much identical to the PS4 version. It's a shame they didn't make use of the HD rumble or add anything other than touchscreen healing between battles, but it's fine.

I might actually buy that Soundwave if I can scrap off the battle damage.
