Yeah, I mean, if you have a One, just play it on the One. Backwards compat on 360 is for people who only have access to a 360.

It doesn't just do it for discs. I'm playing Jade Empire right now (which I had to buy and download on my 360 before I was able to download and install it on my One...Microsoft is weird) but it looks really good. There's a bunch of graphical comparisons you can see on YT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsefgx9Nwh0). 360 doesn't do any kind of graphical upgrade as far as I remember.

I think backwards compatibility to the One improves it a bit graphically. I also don't know if EVERY game is available for backward compatibility. Maybe check out this Wiki article:

I'm playing HG right now and I'm so shocked how many amazing things they added while staying true to the feel and quality of the original. I mean, for pure nostalgia obviously you need those GBC graphics but really, the only reason not to buy HG/SS is because they're $$$

I personally don't like FR/LG and would actually recommend Gen I over them, although Gen I is a broken mess for several reasons.

Plus their database is far more complete than any other review aggregator.


This is the main thing. It's one thing if all the information gets ported over, but GameRankings has reviews on a lot of the older NES/SNES titles which Metacritic doesn't have at all. I also kinda prefer the old-time look of it over Metacritic (and Metacritic has auto-playing videos, which is a capital sin as far as I'm concerned).

How is every single line in this trailer the biggest cliche in these kinds of movies? "I've lived different lives but I'm done running from my past", "Now I have this family", "you got fat", "we have to go back to where it all began". Like seriously, is there a trailer template that is just copy and pasted for every movie?

Also no idea why they made this a prequel as opposed to setting it in snap times but oh well gotta get that Black Widow backstory in now that she's borked.

Touchscreen functionality isn't a huge issue if you're just playing through the game. It will "lock you out" of sidestuff like Pokathlon, but those are pretty much touch-screen only, so just using your mouse for those shouldn't be a big deal.

I bought HeartGold a couple of months ago for about 50. It was a Dutch store though (but ironically a US cartridge)

I wouldn't be surprised if the game recieved very normal or slightly low scores

If you zoom out for a minute, pokemon games have had an identical formula for 20 years.

The game clearly delivers a basic pokemon experience as visible to the average non-fan, so how low of a score can a reviewer reasonably give it? If the missing pokemon were implemented tomorrow, how much higher should the score be?

I used to go nuts over every change in every wow expansion. One was the worst, one was the best, and that was certainly true, but those changes didn't matter to my friends who either never played or always played

They simply either were or were not interested in the core gameplay loop

This might be the shittiest pokemon game, but really all pokemon games are probably within 1 or 1.5 points of each other on the grand scale


Most of the Pokemon community think every game is made for THEM, when the core fanbase for GameFreak has always been new players. The only generation were this wasn't the case is Gen II. Every other game is basically meant to be your first experience with Pokmon. It's why most of them are such a slog to get through in the beginning and there's few references to older games.

Data entry. God, I thought I lived to having a boring, easy job which would be a comfortable way to make money without having to worry about a single thing.

Guess not. I can feel my mind dulling every day I spend there. The people are nice, but it's not like there are groups of people who hang out or something. Most are much older than me and it's a pretty small sales office (company is much bigger but there's not a lot of international communication). I'm staying until the end of the year and then I'm going to look for something more fulfilling and/or fun. In that sense I'm happy at least that I found out dull isn't my thing.

4. Beat a game released between 2010-2018
Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Achievement grab. Surprisingly, nothing that was too hard. Foxiest of the Hounds was pretty annoying until I figured out to just avoid enemies rather than deal with them. Legend was pretty fun as dealing with every enemy just made me insanely overleveled and OP. Missing Link DLC had some annoying moments because I had become so reliant on the cloaking that actual stealthing got hard, but nothing that couldn't be overcome.

36. Replay a game from a long time ago
Half-Life 2: Episode One

Fun to go back to this for achievements, haven't played HL in a long time. But good lord One Free Bullet...I started out thinking it probably wouldn't be that hard but FUCK EXIT 17 and FUCK THAT STRIDER. How can an entire city in rubble have so few things to fling with the GG...ugh.

Pokmon HeartGold Version (NDS)

Had to beat Lance kinda cheaply but...beat him anyway. Champion! Really enjoyed this game, it's such a good remake of games that I love anyway. There wasn't really anything added that I felt took away from the games, except maybe the distribution of TMs and locking some behind Move Tutors and the like.

Also a great showcase of the evolution of Pokemon; I consider the Johto E4 to be the weakest of all of them and one you can easily enter if you're a bit underleveled; not so much in the remakes. It didn't help that my team wasn't greatly balanced but still, it was a tough road (going back to having to healspam to beat Lance). So yeah, looking forward to the Kanto part!

My team:

Prodigy (Typhlosion) Lvl. 45
Sploosh (Politoed) Lvl. 46
Angelus (Togekiss) Lvl. 46
Ms. Mittens (Ambipom) Lvl. 45
