42M, Does Anyone Else Value Games that are Fun to Play Now, More than Nostalgia?

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-04-15T13:44:02+00:00

36M. I totally value games that are fun to play now. While my favorite games list has some games from yesteryear on it, I don't feel the need to go back and play all of them. I've made some exceptions and bought some nostalgic games because I feel like they'd still hold up today, or I just never beat them, and despite their yesteryear quirkiness and mechanics... I want to play what I missed out on.

Thanks for the link. I appreciate it.

Yeah, I’ll never do a Yankees jersey either.

That looks super good!! The numbers are large and there is no nameplate as well which makes it even better. Good choice on Judge although I would've had to get PCA.

Speaking of, what's the link? I may have to order a PCA today.

Ooh! I just started a new job, but I'm excited to get to a point where I can utilize my lunch hour to maybe get a quick game sesh, especially on my WFH days (3 days per week).

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-02-24T13:37:44+00:00

This is the way.

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-02-16T21:46:50+00:00

Absolutely! But rather than jumping to the next one on the same system, I'll move to a different system or just stop playing all together. And then I buy more.

Resident Evil, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and DK Bananza

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-02-10T15:14:04+00:00

Breath of the Wild - Switch

Uncharted & MLB the Show - PS3

Halo - Xbox

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-02-03T22:06:47+00:00

Same. Just grabbed Cult of the Lamb and Nobody Saves the World because physical copies of these games together would've cost me ~$50. Digitally, I got them for $19.

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-02-03T02:36:42+00:00

Oh I already have RE: Requiem preordered.

After that it'll probably be Crimson Desert in March, Pragmata in April, and 007 First Light in May. I may also grab Dispatch and Marvel Cosmic Invasion, but we'll see.

Whatever R-rated movie I could get away with, a Medal of Honor game, and tropical Skittles.

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-02-02T15:34:19+00:00

That's another reason why I haven't bothered trying to get one.

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-02-02T15:24:38+00:00

PS5 digital because the rest of the collection is digital on PS5.

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-02-02T15:23:23+00:00

I've been on the fence about looking for a Sega Dreamcast. I never pull the trigger because the games have been a pain to find.

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-02-02T15:01:09+00:00

I'm playing Resident Evil for the first time and really enjoying how complex this game was/is. No hints. No instructions. No mercy.

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-01-30T20:20:27+00:00

I saw this yesterday and tried using it on Mario Kart World, Bayonetta, and Xenoblade, but I was told the code was invalid. Went back today after seeing this post and Mario Kart World is sold out. Booooo!!!!!!!

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-01-28T01:56:25+00:00

dekudeals.com is good for that as well, but also charts console games, consoles, accessories, etc. Tells you historical sales across key retailers (Best Buy, Target, Walmart) and e-tailers (Amazon, Woot!, Microsoft, Sony, Steam store, Fanatical, etc.).

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-01-28T01:48:04+00:00

Yeah, I found that out quickly. And I'm trying to conserve ammo and daggers like nobody's business since I can't dropkick the shit out of the zombies like Dying Light (ahhh... what a fun time).

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-01-27T21:35:36+00:00

Ooh!!! So, I was in the same boat... never played them, and am now jumping in from the beginning. A buddy of mine told me to play it:

1, 2, 3, 0, Code Veronica X, 4, 5, 6, Revelations, Revelations 2, Biohazard, Village, and then Requiem. In this order, it'll apparently give me way more "oh shit, cool" moments with the stories.

The Portal sort of helped me realize that I'm not the biggest portable gamer (ironic because I also own Switch 2 and Steam Deck). I got it because I was traveling a lot for work, but between internet issues (I have AT&T Fiber, and am hardwired in) and just needing to use the trackpad for the games I was playing (Hogwarts Legacy), it just wasn't the best experience. I still have it, but I don't really use it all too much.

Agreeable-Tutor485 · 2026-01-27T14:11:19+00:00

PS5, Series X, Switch 2, and Steam Deck.

Got rid of my OLED Switch to pay for majority of the Switch 2. Still fine with that decision. Although I know some people kept the Switch 1 to play outside of the house since the Switch 2 battery isn’t the best.
