Master Duel's greatest strength is giving players who would never play the paper game irl a chance to relive old formats in a well designed online simulator. Dinos, a blind second ABC pile deck and Adamancipator are basically my 3 favorite decks of all time. Misc is still at 3, Union Carrier is banned and Block Dragon is banned. if they hit Misc I will probably quit Yugioh forever, but thats ok because I've only spent about 5 grand on the cards without ever playing any of them and well maybe 3 thousand hours over the last 8 years?

But what really matters is...will Maxx C ever get banned and can the game just be a little less laggy? No other complaints really.

I, like many other boomers had some fun as a child on this game in the 90s. But just earlier this year I finally decided to really play it on my Xbox Series X through gamepass and it was a complete treasure. The audio design is so legendary, I can hear the guns in my head while writing this.

There are plenty of old games that feel dated as hell but somehow on this game it works in its favor. Just surfing around levels at full speed using the dpad instead of analog stick was a such a blast.

And the speedrun achievements are some of the most exhilarating and fun things you can do on a game.

I wasn't quite at Streets 112, but Archives was a doozy.

As a 14 year old I remember being in a Gamecrazy and getting cut in half by a saw during the demo while my dad laughed his tail off behind me. And then I remember quitting the game during chapter 3 because the game literally gave me nightmares.

Over a decade later I decided to revisit Resident Evil 4 on the Xbox One and not only did it hold up, it was just flat out better than the modern games out at the time.

Who would have guessed a zombie game where you cannot shoot and move at the same time would be a masterpiece.

A true masterpiece that just came out a few years too early. The state of Xbox one was miserable and one of its exclusive brothers (Killer Instinct) ironically used the model this game should have also used, F2P with seasons. In 2014 you can not launch a multiplayer only game with no skins or reason to grind away for 60 dollars. If this game came out during Covid, it is a smash hit. Apex Legends is proof of that.

LOVE the pvp campaign. Will probably never see it again but the idea of weaving in the story and having real players as the enemy faction was and IS genius. And the mix of call of duty gameplay with jetpacks and Titans as ultimates...man I wish this game lasted forever
