Last post by Mai Valentine - November 05, 2025, 08:45:59 PMPokemon Scarlet, with 1000+ hours. The initial game isn't quite that long obviously but I kept playing to shiny hunt, hatch Pokemon, do the Tera raids, and then they added really good DLC twice, so it had long legs.
non Pokemon game would be Fire Emblem Three Houses, which got up to like 300+ hours I think. I played through all the routes.

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: Pokémon™ Legends: Z-A
Last post by Mai Valentine - November 05, 2025, 08:40:22 PMI've played Pokemon since Pokemon Silver came out in 2000 and I have been a fan of Pokemon in general since before that because of the anime. So I may be biased, I suppose. But I love Pokemon Legends ZA. I find the battle system pretty fun. I also think that being limited to one city is not as bad as it sounds. It's big enough that I wish they had added the skates from the original XY. 
I mean you can fast travel once you visit a place once but it would have been fun to skate around.
As for the price issue. Did I pay more for it than I did for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? Yes. Am I going to play it more? Also yes. The way the story in Legends ZA is structured, I am finding it fun to start new save files on different profiles so I can play through the game with a different team. For now, there isn't a whole lot after you beat the main story to do besides shiny hunt or do pvp (which is pretty fun), but they'll add more stuff like they did with Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, which is still getting 7 star Tera raids even now (if you didn't play ScarVi, the 7 star raids are a chance to get Pokemon with a special title that displays when you send it out in battle).
The player customization in Legends ZA is also top tier. I've spent a lot of time and in game money checking out all the clothing stores and buying different things. It's definitely a step up from ScarVi. It could use more hairstyles but I assume they will add more with DLC.
My only real complaint about Pokemon Legends AZ is that it's clear that they are trying to go in a direction where they really need to add voice acting to the game to have the kind of impact they are going for. They can keep a silent protagonist but the NPCs should definitely be voiced.

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Has anyone Broke out their Tur...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - November 05, 2025, 07:44:18 PMIT's been a long time since I've broke out my Turbo Grafx / Turbo Duo. It had to have been before Covid. It's been a long time since I played Bloody Wolf, Raiden, Alien Crush or many other titles. However, have you broke yours out recently? If so, what did you play?
Here's another great Turbo Grafx / PC-Engine topic:

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Pokémon™ Legends: Z-A
Last post by BLUEVOODU - November 05, 2025, 06:18:13 PMPokémon™ Legends: Z-A has come out for the Switch 2. There appeared to be some dogging on the early game. However, It appears to be getting decent ratings though lower for a Pokemon game. I watched my son play some of the newer Pokemon games... but I didn't get into them like I did many of the older variants (yellow, red, blue...etc). Pokémon™ Legends: Z-A looks interesting for sure... just curious if it's worth the price of admission.

but haven't had a chance to play... 
Whisker Squadron: Survivor
I need to find some time to Dig in... the game looks really cool.
Many more games are being released or are becoming Steam Deck compatible... and this is awesome. Has anyone found other games that are awesome for the Steam Deck?

General Discussion / What gaming related trends or ...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - November 05, 2025, 01:35:13 PMWhat gaming related trends or favorites have grown off of you? In other words... what did you absolutely love as a kid or even not that long ago that you just don't love anymore?
This could be a certain game, certain game style, or multiple other angles... it doesn't have to be negative as sometimes it's just a part of growing up, moving forward and getting older.

Not sure why... but that might be happening. I created a topic last week seeing if everyone was getting alerts:

Also - you can check the calendar on boards. I am putting the events in calendar on boards. Last, you can see the Discord Event. If you go to Discord, the event is front and center right now, and you can also check events in the top left above the channels. Click the interested button if you wish to show you're coming. I am working to keep these events out there and up-to-date
