nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic Do you plan on buying a Series X, S, or PS5?. on the General Discussion board Jan 26, 5:59pm

PS5. It can play the few PS4 games I own, and its library of games interests me far more than Xbox's.

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic A positive thread about what you're currently playing. on the General Discussion board Jan 26, 3:12pm

I recently finished the first Crash Bandicoot game on Switch with a full 105% completion. It wasn't my first Crash game (that would be the surprisingly fun Crash of the Titans I played last year), but...

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic I watched the Prequel trilogy for the first time in ages and had some thoughts.. on the Off-Topic board Jan 26, 2:50pm

I can't see myself sitting through these again unless either my girlfriend's curiosity gets the better of her or I'm part of a Bad Movie Night. Phantom Menace is boring, Attack of the Clones is activ...

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic What next-gen console did you buy or going to buy?. on the General Discussion board Dec 19, 9:13pm

When I get to it, PS5. There are some PS4 exclusives I wanna try plus one or two I already own. Gotta love that sweet, sweet backwards compatibility.Also Xbox's line up of games has never really appea...

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic Has your opinion of CD Projekt gone down?. on the CD Projekt RED Sp. z o.o. board Dec 19, 4:54pm

I was never a CDPR fanboy (haven't even started my copy of Witcher 3 on Switch, but I liked what I played on my friend's PS4), but I figured they were great based on what they were saying about them. ...

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic CDPR publicly announce they're going to offer refunds. on the General Discussion board Dec 15, 6:54am

Another age-old reminder that hype is meaningless and pre-orders are dumb. Hopefully they'll give this twice the amount of TLC they gave to Witcher 3 so I can pick this up super cheap and in its best...

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic Will you buy Cyberpunk now that you've seen the reviews?. on the Cyberpunk 2077 board Dec 9, 5:04pm

The reviews actually made me way more interested than I was. Even the negative ones mention a gigantic amount of sidequests to do and upgrades to earn, which is one of my biggest gaming weaknesses. I ...

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic Will enhanced backwards compatibility mean the end of low effort remasters?. on the General Discussion board Oct 7, 11:12am

Nope. Any opportunity they can take to sell you the same thing but slightly prettier with a premium price tag, they will. The gaming public has already proven they'll eat that crap up.

Companies, as always.

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic Super Smash Brothers is adding Minecraft Steve. on the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate board Oct 1, 8:48pm

I laughed so hard when this was announced. What a perfectly weird yet perfectly fitting pick. And honestly, he looks really interesting as a character! His moveset seems super unique and I love the 'd...

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic I'm getting tired of GB's dismissive attitude towards the new consoles. on the General Discussion board Sep 27, 3:47pm

I'll just post what I did in the last thread:I honestly don't understand the rush to pre-order what is essentially a fancy brick promising a lot of hot air right now. Just about every PS5 game shown ...

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic Should I buy my Xbox and PS5 from scalpers??. on the General Discussion board Sep 23, 5:05am

No? Just wait, they're not going anywhere. Scalpers have those things for thousands.

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic I pre-ordered an Xbox Series X but this is the least excited I've been about a console launch in a long time. on the Xbox Series X/S board Sep 22, 8:28pm

I honestly don't understand the rush to pre-order what is essentially a fancy brick promising a lot of hot air right now. Just about every PS5 game shown is coming out on PS4 and Xbox is similarly emp...

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic So Microsoft just bought Bethesda. on the General Discussion board Sep 21, 7:12am

So Elder Scrolls 6 and the next DOOM are gonna be console exclusive? Microsoft may be selling a lot more Xboxes than we thought!

@franziskavkarma: You bring up an interesting point so please allow me to clarify my position.As you've mentioned in your post, Harry Potter is a worldwide phenomenon and this game is going to make a ...

@thej6m: Dude, as a Christian person myself, I'm kind of shocked you're even trying to make this argument.Jesus didn't call on us to assert some kind of moral superiority over others or "punish the un...

nicksmi56 posted a message in the forum topic Hogwarts Legacy and the Dilemma of Ethical Consumption. on the Hogwarts Legacy board Sep 17, 8:55pm

Couldn't you just pick up a used copy and have all the profits go to that store instead of J.K? It's probably what I'll do if the game turns out fantastic.

I mean, as someone who's never touched a Prince game, all the talk of how awesome the original game was has me interested. I can deal with iffy graphics as long as the gameplay is good (I lived throug...

@colonel_pockets: Thanks!I actually like this price point! Gotta say I never expected either of the fancy next-gen machines to launch at the same price point as your average Nintendo console. However,...
