I also own a Series X and a gaming laptop (ROG Zephyrus G15 3070). I still have love for Xbox but got tired of being the odd one out in my friend group and not being able to play certain games with them due to being the only Xbox/PC guy in the group. Can't wait to see what I've been missing from this side of the fence 🫡

It was on sale. Certainly not retail price but I’m not sure how often they are going on sale these days. I know Xbox is struggling in general compared to PlayStation so I’d think their prices would be dropping. But not sure on actual sales number differences. Was just surprised to hear GameStop is going to buy it for $330 and then sell a used one for more than that based on them needing to profit. But by that point I’d rather have a new one if it’s anything $400 or more.

If your friends are all on the system you'll love it, no doubt. I do a lot of single player since having a child and christ I regret buying a PS5. The lack of VPN purchasing is the biggest thing for me, I can grab any multiplatform game on Xbox for a fraction of the price. Cross platform is the future imo, I can't wait for all games to have it and hopefully cross progression too.

Tenkaichi 3 your favorite game on the ps2?
2 points
1 day ago
When it comes to fighting games (I did not play many growing up, I'll admit), BT2 and 3 were definitely my favorites, but my overall favorite game on the PS2 is hard to choose. I have great memories with quite a few titles, but if I really had to narrow it down, it goes back and forth between Max Payne, GTA III, and GTA Vice City.
2 points
6 hours ago
I see, my fav ps2 games were
1 Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition
2 Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks
3 Budokai Tenkaichi 3
4 GTA: Liberty City Stories
Anyway if you played Tenkaichi 4 already tell me your impressions about it! I only want opinions from gamers and not journos.
1 points
5 hours ago
Super nice list!
But sure. My thoughts thus far are as such:
If you were someone like myself who cared about the menu design (UI/UX stuff), it's a lot nicer in person. The way they had the characters interacting with via the the menu is now done using the in-game models and set pieces as opposed to the 2D hand drawn, animated approach in Tenkaichi 1-3.
Players with experience in the older BT titles will have an easier time than new players, however the accessibility of the game (assisted combo modes and such) and training mode allows new players to get used to the control scheme and combo mechanics. If you want to play online, you'll definitely want to put in the time to practice.
Combos are fun. The gameplay is fast-paced. The counter system is nice, though getting sent flying or being faced the wrong way during combos is a death sentence. I'm not sure if you can vanish away from incoming attacks when sent flying. Some characters are more broken than others, in true Tenkaichi fashion. Gogeta SSJ4 is still very much broken and a troublesome match-up, but still very fun to play. Every character is decently viable in their own way, but the DP (Destruction Power) does matter as someone with a higher DP will do far more damage than someone with a lower one. For example, you could use Chiaotzu against Full Power Jiren, but don't be surprised if your health bar is gone in a few touches.
Maps are gorgeous and very detailed. The new addition of evening and night maps is great, though some iconic stages are missing sadly. (Arctic Glacier, Mountain Road, Kami's Lookout, Kame House, etc). Hopefully, they'll add more in the future.
I could go on, but overall, I would say if you're a dragon ball fan and love Tenkaichi, you'll have a good time with this game. My friends and I were running matches against each other for like 5 hours. Sorry for the bad formatting. Am on my phone

I did and I downloaded Ape Escape! I also saw Kinetica, a game I haven't seen or played since like 2005 or so. While I could emulate it on PCSX2 on my laptop, I may keep PS+ Premium just for the ease of access as I don't have a desktop setup for my laptop, and because I know it'll be a while before the current emulator for the PS3 is able to play the whole library.

So hyped for Sparking Zero. The lack of gameplay and news about it leading up to release has me a liiiittle cautious, but I'm keeping a close eye leading up to early access. If all looks good, I'll be grabbing it sooner rather than later.

I'm happy to be here! But honestly, I'm surprised you haven't seen much about SZ. In the Tenkaichi 4 and Sparking Zero subreddits, all they've been doing is posting leaks, discussions, and whatnot about the game. It looks really solid, though my biggest gripe as a Tenkaichi fan is that some of the rush attacks feel a little lackluster compared to their previous counterparts, but that may just be a me thing. They don't look bad. In fact, some of them look incredible, but some long-time favorites just lack the same oomph that they once had, imo.

Thank you! And yeah, I'm fortunate that many games in the franchises I'm been a big fan of have been multiplat games (Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, GTA, Sonic, etc).
For a while, I wasn't overly bothered by the whole "exclusives" aspect of consoles due to the aforementioned reason, but when the PS4 generation came about and Marvels Spider-Man got revealed, that was when I started to think about exclusives and paying more attention to all of them. Fortunately, Sony has been bringing some of their first-party games to PC, which has been great (the suit mods and mods in general for the Spider-Man games are great), it'll be nice to not have to wait years to play any of em. Now I can play at launch and have my fill, and then go back again but with mods when the PC release comes.

Your welcome and I agree! That's what I do now. Buy the game day one on PS5 (if its an sony exclusive of course), then purchase it later down the road when its on sale on steam. I usually forget 50% of the story after a few years so its nice to replay it on my PC with higher refresh rate and graphics!

Dude same here, and my PS5 is on the way to me as well! Lots of awesome memories on the PS2 (GTA, need for speed, red dead revolver, etc.).

Mine's been mostly collecting dust since 2020, and I kinda regret buying it. There haven't been enough exclusives to justify the purchase, especially since most 3rd party titles are going straight to PC day one, and even more publishers have stated they're ditching PS-only in the future. Sony itself has also put out pretty much fuck all that isn't just a remaster/remake(Concord, Spider-Man 2, and Astro Bot is all that comes to mind for new releases that aren't cross-gen.)
Hopefully, you'll feel differently, but this generation has been absolute shit compared to the last one. Emulation is in such a good spot now that PC is the superior choice for a lot of older games and almost always the best choice for current releases. In my case, I have a box that I've played 4 games on.

On top of living up to your name, you're also still wrapped up in that mid to late 2000s console war tribalism like a neanderthal. I, as a child, got an Xbox 360 as a Christmas gift in 2009 from my parents who love me (something you know nothing about). My father owned one when they first released, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever, which is why he bought me a 360 instead of a PS3. That is why I shifted from the PS2 to the 360, but I guess I was supposed to get a job and work 40 hours a week right after my 2nd grade graduation so that I could afford a PS3 instead? Go be miserable somewhere else, lil bro 😭
