My future stepson got one of those Genesis flashbacks as a birthday present. They're as bad as advertised here.
One thing I was surprised Peter didn't mention (perhaps because he's using it in an office setting where he is sitting pretty close to the console, or maybe they've actually fixed this): Those wireless controllers are wireless by way of infrared — like the old shitty NES wireless controllers LJN made — and their ability to maintain constant contact with the console's IR blaster is exceptionally poor. As bad as the buttons, emulation and half of the games are, that constant breaking of that IR bond was the killer.
What I *did* learn, though, is that I have less than zero interest in ever seeing it again. Amazing that it’s taken this long to make something this unappealing. I sorta got the appeal of crafting when it was a new idea relegated to one or two games. But enough already. It’s incredibly boring.
I vastly misunderstood what this game was up to now. Why did I think for so long that it was a multiplayer-focused competitive game and that alone? Am I crazy? Illiterate? On the drugs? This is wild.
@mindkiller: Remember that period of time when every other male had the Don Draper haircut and gigantic wilderness man beard? That’s what I imagine a 2015 haircut is.
