Yeah totally understand. I tend to play more single player sandbox games. I very very rarely play anything online multiplayer outside of Madden or NHL from time to time.

Can understand in your case why the PS Exclusives wouldn't really move the needle as far as needing their system over an Xbox.

Cross play is great, and it should be the default moving forward.

Got all 120 stars on Mario 64. Brought back a lot of memories playing. I only had to look up how to get 5 of the stars.

Need Golden Eye to come out on the switch and play through it again.

I still have it for N64. Might have to break that out again.

To the surprise of no one, NHL 21 is junk. I got it for free thanks to a gift card and the Black Friday sale, but I somehow still feel like I overpaid. The new Be A Pro feels like a chore. There are way too many cut scenes where dialogue happens between my player and the coach only for me to not even have an option for responses. I don't need to be stopped mid-game for a scene where the coach tells me not to let them score and my only response option is "you got it, coach." Also, I got docked money and stamina because my teammate invited me bowling? WTF? How is this a hockey game? As far as I can tell, your likability and star ratings don't mean **** anyway.

The on ice play doesn't feel all that different from 20 (shocking I know) and the new dekes are basically impossible to pull off. The only noticeable difference is the goalie AI feels a tad sharper and money goals from 20 aren't so money anymore. I'm sure there is a new batch of money goals just waiting to be discovered, though. I can't believe they originally charged $60 for this.

It's truly crazy how bad that series has gotten. I can't even sim in the game because it takes 20 minutes to do so. The menu system, the franchise mode, just all bad.

I had nostalgia for the NHL series, which was last made for PC for NHL 2009. I have it on Origin, so I downloaded it...but couldn't get it to run on Windows 10. Not a great game, but still plenty of custom mods and rosters for it, just didn't want to spend the time troubleshooting how to get it to work. Sad.

I'm hoping the reason NHL 21 is garbage is because they're putting all of their efforts into a true nextcurrent-gen NHL 22. That's probably true, right?

Yeah I'm passing on NHL 21.

I picked up Madden for like 8$ today since it was 27.99 at best buy and I had 20$ in rewards to use. I see they are doing a PS5/Series X update as of Dec 5th for it, and if you get the current gen (last gen ) version then you get the upgrade for free when they put it out. Figured better to get the PS4 version now for dirt cheap rather than pay 70$ for the ps5 game when it comes out since it probably won't be that good anyways.

haha good one. I'll never forget the day they made NHL 15 for Xbox One and it was stripped of everything from NHL 14, and they said that it'd be back to master class in the coming years.

LMAO, that never happened, and HUT took over.

The card games to these games have killed any and every advancement, and I wish they were illegal.

Busted out Mario Kart home edition this evening. Was pretty fun, especially watching how my sister's cats reacted to the kart.

The only downside was that there is a distance limit between the kart and the system which limited our options a bit.

Still had fun though. If you have enough space and some creativity, you can certainly have a blast with this.

Bought five more games with the Steam Autumn Sale. Have really been wanting to play Outer Worlds and picked up the Wolfenstein package as well as Doom Eternal. I am finishing up 2016 Doom right now and it is so damn good

Yeah it's basically Fallout in space. Which means I had fun but got frustrated because I'm the type of gamer that needs his hand held. Tell me where I'm going and when. Don't let me go to X place if my character is going to die the moment he arrives.
