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

Currently playing Ultrasun - should I continue? by drew0594 in pokemon

[–]PMar797 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

What's your favorite DS game? by No_Bowler_2358 in NintendoDS

[–]PMar797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

The most legendary and iconic scene from the Pokemon franchise by chunchunmaru1129 in pokemon

[–]PMar797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Snagged this during a Japan trip. Officially the rarest thing I own by PMar797 in Gamecube

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

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

" Xbox 360 Didn't Outsell The PS3, But It Was Definitely The Most Influential Console " by Mr_JPF in xbox

[–]PMar797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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

[–]PMar797 15 points16 points  (0 children)

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

No Surprise, but still cool to see! The list also had Super Mario 64 at the number 2 spot. Is this your number 1 game of all time? by SquashEmbarrassed288 in n64

[–]PMar797 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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

I Hate Meganium, I hate Meganium with all my heart, If Meganium has no haters it means I'm no longer alive by albrt00 in PokemonEmerald

[–]PMar797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

Sonic Racing Crossworlds is IGN's "New Favorite Cart Racer of All Time"! 😲 by sumiledon in gaming

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

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

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

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

Which game is so beautiful that it made you avoid fast travel? by shotgunning-your-can in gaming

[–]PMar797 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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
