The 8 year old me would be overjoyed! This was one of my favorite NES games, and there were enough good NES games that the title of “one of my favorites” means it was actually cream of the crop.
The 45 year old me would probably not be as happy, since I’d rather go to bed at a reasonable hour and crappy quality fast food pizza sounds like it’s going to make me feel miserable if I have more than a slice or two anyway. Plus as awesome as SMB3 is and was, there are modern games I’d rather play at the moment if I were going to stay up all night.
You’re such an enabler. I love it! Stop enabling me.
I know I’m not necessarily representative of the average gamer, but Hades is and was one of my favorite modern games. I feel like it’s almost pointless to not buy this game as soon as I can, even if I don’t have time to play it right this moment. Have you played it already at this point, and if so, what are your impressions?
Solid point. But I want it now. I guess I’m still holding out hope that I might have some time to play while I’m traveling in the next month or so.
Does the early access stuff sometimes stop being available? Like if I don’t buy it soon, is it something that might go away until they’re ready to do a full release?
I’m usually a patient gamer type. I think I got Hades in 2022 or 2023 on discount. I’ve also never purchased an early access game. But I’m seriously considering this one.
Main thing holding me back is that I just don’t get to play games very much this time of year, and I probably won’t have much time again until Fall.
The battery life difference between the OLED Steam Deck versus the Asus and Lenovo competitors was a major factor in my decision to choose the Deck. As others have pointed out, it’s hard to imagine that MSI (of all companies) can deliver on battery life given these other specs, let alone other considerations like weight & size. Good for them if they manage to excel at all of these things, but I’m going to have to see it to believe it. And as of right now, I haven’t seen anything at all.
