Like I said, I'm casually looking for one. I probably won't even have time to play it until winter hits anyways.

Finished Mass Effect. Fun game, though I still hate the controls. Started the first 10 minutes of ME2 just so that I can jump in and go when I return from vacation.

Talk about a collection. I forgot how big the Dreamcast controllers were.

As a person with tiny hands, I found the Dreamcast to be essentially unplayable.

Started playing Mass Effect 2. A few notes:

• Auto-save does a piss poor job (beat the level boss, spent 10 minutes exploring afterwards, came back and had to beat him again), so I have resorted to manually saving my progress before I turn off the TV
• The crosshairs are orange, and blend in with damn near everything, making them practically useless
• Being able to sprint is refreshing
• Navigating the solar system, and paying for fuel for some mass relay jumps, is lame

Love that Game but lame money grab by Sony IMO.

I loved the Dreamcast controller and especially the VMU. That **** was awesome for playing NFL2k against your buddy. You could pick your plays on the VMU and your opponent wouldn't be able to see what you were doing.

Dreamcast was awesome. Excited for Skyward sword on switch next week.

Yeah I loved Dreamcast and was sad that it died such a quick death. The NHL 2k series was so much better than EA's at that time.

Also, it was insanely easy to burn ISOs of games. With PS1 you had to do the swap trick. Dreamcast was just like "nah, we're good. Just pop that **** in."

I don't entirely disagree. They are apparently offering a $30 upgrade for owners of the original PS4 version so you don't have to pay the full $70 at least.

Own it for the Wii, but that is the only Zelda game for the consols I never played. I'm just going to pick it up for the switch and play it on there.

[the wicked child]

I'm still highly skeptical of converting the motion controls to the right stick, but hope it's good.

There are some annoyances in the game but overall has some cool stuff.

[NAN]

Yeah, I'm excited to play it. I mean some Zelda are definitely better than others, but I've never played a bad one.

I really enjoyed it for the Wii. I remember the controls being kinda cool, but I thought you could play on pro controller as well

Pretty sure you had to use the wiimote, nunchuk and motion plus.

I hope the new controls are good, I'm just skeptical knowing that the game was specifically made to take advantage of the motion plus.

Hopefully yinz report otherwise.

[the wicked child]

Not exactly what people were expecting. Guess it's nice for anyone who hasn't bought it yet but pretty pointless otherwise.

[NAN]

Hopefully they fixed the drift.

[skullman80]

What a waste of an upgrade opportunity for the switch.

I'm trying to decided how mad my wife will be if I buy the Pac-Man 1up arcade machine for her for our anniversary this week. She loves pacman and has talked about it ever since I got the TMNT and NBA Jam machines.

She will say it was too much money to spend blah blah blah, but I know she will play it a ton.

[nocera]

You should definitely buy a Pac-Man arcade machine "for her."

[NAN]

Agree.

[skullman80]

It really would be "for her" haha. I have some other small things I've gotten her and we are going out to a nice dinner etc. I'm not saying I won't play it, but Pac-Man is one of her favorite games of all time.
