Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

I WISH it was a late April Fool’s Day joke.

@Penguin Dragneel
Makes me want to get a PS5 even less

Not that you could get one anyway with the supply issue and (unless you’re in the US) recent price increase. :v

Pretty sad that Sony will remake their exclusive titles that are not even a decade old, rather than focus on other Sony-Exclusive franchises are currently dead.

If you guys could remake Syphon Filter or Legend of Dragoon instead of a game you released barely 5 years ago, that would be great

@Kiryu-Chan
Or maybe give us modern re-releases of the PS2 trio (Jak, Ratchet, and Sly) that aren’t terrible?

I wonder who’s worse at this point: Jim Ryan or Phil Harrison?

@Wiimeiser
Phil Harrison.

Sony is going the “profitable” route and only remaking things they deem popular.

@Wiimeiser
Jim Ryan is only making dumb decisions this Gen. Harrison has destroys many new consoles and companies multiple times across multiple generations

Of course, they can’t because Jak and Sly are not profitable as Horizon and The Last of Us. And I blame both Sony for being greedy and the Sony Fanyboys for pretty much accepting maggot-infested trash decisions from Sony.

What would be a good place/site to get a New 2DS?

@Meanlucario
Probably Amazon. I haven’t seen any at Walmart.

@Mikey
Walmart was where I started, though the group who was using Walmart as the middleman for selling refurbish 2DS weren’t able or willing to send me a 2DS without Luma installed after I made it clear I didn’t want that.

@Meanlucario
Damn

You wanna know what’s the worst part about all the bad things coming to Overwatch 2 that was mentioned earlier in this thread? There are members of the OW community who are actually defending it, making arguments about why those things are good for the game that I personally find absurd.

For example, I was watching a video on YouTube discussing this same topic and down in the comments there were OW players who were stating that things such as Blizzard requiring your phone number, monitoring chat, and making you win 100 matches to unlock the Overwatch 1 cast were done to prevent “smurfs” (whatever the hell that new slang term is supposed to mean). Ridiculous, isn’t it?

Don’t be like those fools, fellow gamers. Use your brain.

@DragonBoi471
I think it’s a fairly old term that basically means sock-puppet accounts.

@DragonBoi471
@Lord WyrmSpawN
In video games, it means a veteran making new accounts.

“Smurf accounts” are when skilled players make a new account to cheat the matchmaking system. Typically a MMR system tries to match players of roughly the same skill level based on k/d or w/l ratios to create a fair match. But veteran players can avoid other veteran players by using a new account to play against newbies.

It’s universally derided. One seasoned player dominating newer players is never fun and can possibly turn away those newer players which stymies community growth.

Wait, what???

@Mikey
Vast majority of the OG overwatch characters are locked for new players

People who played the first game already have then unlocked, but new players need to grind by winning a lot of matches in order to unlock them, winning 100 is the estimate to unlock them all
