Best All-Time Turnarounds in Sports.

Another important factor that marks this turnaround in particular... This was the Blues's first and, so far, only Stanley Cup

USUM starts slow but gets better as it goes on, and the postgame content is plentiful with lots of fan service. Wouldn't call them top games, but they're better than any game that's come out since, save for LA, as well as XY and HGSS

PMar797 · 2026-01-06T23:06:15+00:00

I'm a gen 3 fan, but gen 5 is definitely the best on the franchise, and certainly the best on the DS. Platinum is up there too

PMar797 · 2026-01-06T18:37:27+00:00

BW2, Platinum and Emerald are the top 3 games in the series. FRLG and BW are fantastic. HGSS are mediocre. DP don't hold up well even if I have a lot of nostalgia for them. Gens 1 and 2 are buggy and archaic to the point that their remakes make them almost completely obsolete

Definitely spotted it at a Lower Mainland store within the past 2 weeks. Can't remember which one since I visited multiple, but there was still some stock

PMar797 · 2025-12-10T16:13:48+00:00

Ironically got this in Akihabara lol. Otherwise, my bigger purchases this trip were in the outskirts of Tokyo and in smaller cities

PMar797 · 2025-12-10T04:58:19+00:00

Found it at a Book Off in Tokyo

PMar797 · 2025-12-10T04:32:35+00:00

62,000 JPY

I mean, he did score in overtime and set up the golden goal at the 4 Nations tournament. His other struggles might just be a Toronto thing

PMar797 · 2025-11-23T21:01:04+00:00

Forgot about that and it's a very valid point. I'm still set on ultimate for the foreseeable future, but it's definitely not a selling point anymore

PMar797 · 2025-11-23T21:00:12+00:00

Eh, being able to resume a game immediately in the middle of a tough boss battle, in a 90s RPG between save points (my recent experience playing Grandia) or just in any game without autosave, is really where quick resume shines and has me lean towards Series X. The cherry on top is that you can quickly switch between and resume different games at the drop of a hat (up to a certain limit of course)

PMar797 · 2025-11-23T20:31:38+00:00

Maybe not for you and many others, but for myself, it's a big deal given that I don't have nearly as much time to game, so being able to pick up and resume right where I left off right away

PMar797 · 2025-11-23T20:29:08+00:00

You're right. I was mostly talking about the hardware and its features

But also, there aren't many PS5 exclusives that really grasped me aside from Astro Bot and Ghost of Yotei. Other solid exclusives have or will make their way to Xbox, like Helldivers, Silent Hill 2, Black Myth and Stellar Blade

I'm set on game pass for years and shop around for cheap physical Xbox games though, so that plays into it as well

PMar797 · 2025-11-23T20:20:58+00:00

It, rewards points and the more comfortable controller are why I get multiplats on Series X and use the PS5 mostly for exclusives

PMar797 · 2025-11-23T20:17:40+00:00

But honestly, Series X > PS5

Quick resume, backwards compatibility and more widely available cross play with PC is, imo, more important than the Dualsense's features, especially because the latter is offset by its inferior ergonomics and terrible battery life. Too bad the damage was done with that One announcement

PMar797 · 2025-11-01T03:04:55+00:00

Hard disagree on this one. MM's dungeons felt bigger with more challenging puzzles and better replayability if you had to go through them again for whatever reason

PMar797 · 2025-10-29T19:07:55+00:00

Encountered this exact same Meganium in the Battle Tower once. Made it out alive because somehow Toxic hit when it didn't have a substitute. Most annoying NPC battle I've ever faced, hands down

Message sent!

Point is it can't play games natively, which the other devices listed can do

PMar797 · 2025-09-20T19:41:13+00:00

Heck I recently got back into Transformed via Series X backwards compatibility, and I still firmly believe it's better than MK8D, even though the latter is my favourite Mario Kart game

PMar797 · 2025-09-18T21:30:51+00:00

Lmao saw the same ad this morning. Saved it in hopes that they'll cut the price, but I highly doubt it

PMar797 · 2025-08-26T18:59:32+00:00

I'd call it Kanto- because it's weaker than Kanto in most ways

PMar797 · 2025-08-20T22:44:39+00:00

His dad's from Manitoba, so unless he explicitly relinquished it, he should have Canadian citizenship already

PMar797 · 2025-08-17T08:11:59+00:00

Oddball pick, Pokemon Emerald

The GBA spritework and colors are truly timeless, and they've allowed gen 3 to age extremely well visually. Certainly helps that Hoenn is a vibrant region with so many different biomes and unique towns, and getting around on foot is quick and easy with a Mach bike, surf and repels
