I tried a few - Destiny, The Division, Overwatch - but I've pretty much sworn them off after getting burned on the latter two even with the servers up.

Re: Games Acquired 2017
From all I've read, you can play Verdict day's single player story mode offline. That's all I care about. I only play Armored Core for the solo campaigns, which may seem odd, but look who you're talking to.Xeogred wrote: I didn't get the vibe Verdict was playable offline in any capacity.

What do you enjoy about the single player mode so much? I understand why you enjoy Ys so much, but what's the trick with PSO?BoneSnapDeez wrote:You need to get Phantasy Star Online for Dreamcast or GameCube. Right now. Brilliant single player mode.

Re: Games Acquired 2017
I'm gearing up for the summer gaming challenge; so last night I picked up a few Wii Virtual Console games:
Gate of Thunder (TG16)
Lords of Thunder (TG16)
Super Fantasy Zone (Mega Drive)
I also received Moro Rodeo, the last "red label" game I needed for my 2600 collection, in the mail today. One more subset down!

Re: Games Acquired 2017
It's just an incredibly addictive, brilliantly-designed hack and slash ARPG. Everything it does it does well - music, graphics, dungeon design, and so on. It's one of those few games where I completely lose track of time while playing.Exhuminator wrote:What do you enjoy about the single player mode so much?

For the uninitiated, those are late era (1986-1990) Atari releases, though a great many are re-issues of older games.

Re: Games Acquired 2017
I put in 90 hours on PSO (GC) offline. Nuff' said.
Some of it was split screen co-op with a buddy though.

Should have passed on this really. Guy had it in a box in his truck and noticed me look at it so even though I wasn't interest I asked him how much he said $40 which was definately a no go so then he asked how much I would give seeing as I didn't really need it I threw out $20 which is my go to price for spare consoles. He said that would be fine and then when I got out money asked if I would go $22.50 which at that point I was like fuck it whatever sure enough he didn't have change so he just made it $23 as well. So I get the box and while there is a controller there there are no hookups
when I checked it out at home I also noticed it looks like someone has tried to open it before so it's probably going to be a good chance it's got issues .

- Zelda Windwaker (GC) Disc only and pretty scratched up but I've been wanting a copy for the collection and I plan on playing the Wii U HD remake when I get around to it.
23. Marvel Ultimate Alliance (Wii) $1 Disc only in rough shape but I thought I'd give it a chance with my resurfacer.
24. Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (PS2) $1
25. Rugrats Scavenger Hunt (N64) $3.18
