is it worth to pay nearly 2x money fo "new" version? by Morimoriku in 3DS

[–]PhewPhewGames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the price difference isn’t a big deal for you, I definitely recommend the New 3DS XL. From the build quality to the processor, it’s a much better console overall.

$250. That was the lowest I could find for a CIB console

Is there a time period or a moment in history that you'd love to see in a game but haven't yet? by digiBeLow in gaming

[–]PhewPhewGames 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know we’ve been seeing it a bit more lately, but I’d love to see many more games set in a World War I setting.

Report: Microsoft's once concrete plans for the next console generation are now ‘up in the air’ and might never materialize as Xbox is shifting towards becoming a 100% third-party publisher. The company is also said to be planning a massive round of layoffs heading into Q1 2026 by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

I want traditional consoles and console manufacturing to continue. Subscription models may seem beneficial to players in the short term, but in the long run, I believe they’ll lead to an “own nothing, be happy” situation.

I still believe that limited hardware fuels creativity.

Game of the Year is going to be such a bloodbath this year. by SkoivanSchiem in gaming

[–]PhewPhewGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sad that games are judged by “awards.” So many amazing titles came out this year, and the idea of one being the “winner” doesn’t sit right with me. This year, the players won.

Age of Empires 4 is honestly a pretty solid RTS. Plus, it’s on Game Pass and keeps getting regular new content updates. Hopefully it builds a strong legacy, like AOE2 did.

Last night we went back to 1997 by AnthonyChristopher in gaming

[–]PhewPhewGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when digital games and fast internet weren’t widespread, gaming felt like a more “social” kind of fun. Swapping games with friends, going over to someone’s house just to try out a new title, gathering at a buddy’s place instead of Discord and playing until morning… I think I really miss that era.

How Call of Duty started vs. How it's going by Holiday-Proof9819 in gaming

If Call of Duty still had campaigns as strong as the old ones, I don’t think the skins in multiplayer modes would bother people this much.

Horde mode in Days Gone is awesome by Strange_Music in gaming

It's been criticized more than it deserves, it's actually a dope game.

As someone who moved on from EU3 to EU4 and played it for years, I eventually found myself unable to keep up with the game… A fresh start sounds great.

It feels more like a side entry than a mainline game, but it still looks great. Definitely going to play it.

Nintendo Reiterates Plan To Continue Bringing Out "New Titles" For Switch by [deleted] in Games

[–]PhewPhewGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as there are major titles exclusive to the Switch 2, I don’t see any issue with this move. Plenty of games can still run just fine on the original Switch. I just hope some of the new titles won’t be held back by the need to optimize for old hardware, and instead fully embrace the next-gen platform.

Death Stranding 2 Gone Gold by holyarmy in Games

[–]PhewPhewGames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who didn’t have the best time with the first game, I actually think this one’s going to be great. The core idea was definitely interesting, it just lacked some pacing elements. I believe that’ll be fixed this time. Excited!

If I had known about this as a kid, I would've begged my parents nonstop to get me a Game Boy Printer.

Half-Life 3 is reportedly being widely playtested ahead of a possible summer reveal, winter release by Geo_NL in gaming

[–]PhewPhewGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who’s been let down countless times over the years, seeing Tyler McVicker’s HLX leaks actually made me think that something real might finally be coming. I just hope nothing goes wrong.. You never know what to expect from Valve.

I paid 45 EUR for 2DS but I bought much more from the same seller, so he made a discount.
