Like, I straight up don’t get it. Timed exclusivity of their first party content is the ideal way to go.

Not gonna lie, Spider-Man was the reason I bought a PS4. I skipped PS3 and had a 360 for all of a year and change before it RRoDed on me (Never bothered replacing it). I don't know that I'm entirely representative of the community as a whole, but Spider-Man was a franchise that just seemed easy to not fuck up (I can't…

Give me the Ichiban Kasuga male power fantasy any day. Rags to riches and also a hero with a baseball bat who can Mario Kart.

Oh god, there was a sex mini game? Like, an unironic one (I could picture Yakuza pulling it off because it’s so fucking weird).

Honestly? I didn’t even remember it having a fixed camera. The aging poorly was in regards to pretty much the full trappings. It was the most blatant (To an obnoxious degree) male power fantasy tropey bullshit I have literally ever experienced. And look, don’t get me wrong, I grew up on video games and can deal with a…

I mean, the film industry is a pretty prime example of this and it’s been functioning that way for like 50 years now. Movie comes out in theaters at a pretty decent markup and the people who want to see it ASAP pay that premium. We’ve moved even further into this model in the last few years with home theater setups…

Yeah, the thing that kills it for me is that if you’re even remotely invested in the Sony ecosystem already, this is a pretty lackluster lineup. Like, I’d love to play Returnal, but I’d rather just catch it on sale than pay $15 a month for temporary access to it, and I’m not at all opposed to the general concept of…

Maybe it’s a matter of having not played it when it came out, but I dug into the original GoW for the first time a few years ago (Post new one) and ooooooooof. Might be you dodged a bullet.

Gamepass is fucking great with indie stuff. I’ve never been much interested in it because I don’t really care for Microsoft’s stuff (360 is the only MS console I ever owned and I had like three games total for it), but I snagged this three free months of PC Game Pass trial the other day and I had no idea how strong…

Yeah, but they don’t even have any day one plus 400 or so games on here. Literally nothing released post 2020 is a rough look.

Switch Online also dropped with a much better classics lineup, despite only being one console available on it to start. They had Zelda, arguably the best Mario game of all time, and a couple really good third party options in Double Dragon and Ghost n’ Goblins. Best I’m seeing on here is Syphon Filter?

I’ll be honest, as someone’s who’s already pretty invested in the Sony first party ecosystem, I’m pretty wildly unimpressed.

(Went to add it to my Wishlist and it’s trending on Steam now, well done!)

Always room for more Metroidvanias. Finally playing Ori and the Blind Forest for the first time (Was looking for something to stream when I wasn’t feeling my go-to) and I am absolutely loving it. Might check this out when I finish those two games.

Die mad about it.

This idea makes me feel squicky. It feels like there’s a whole lot of room for this to be an horrifyingly problematic and offensive mess.

Original Soul Reaver would realistically need something more than just a full remaster. Even with upscaling mods, the game is just really, really ugly at this point.

You do know that today was literally Marathon Day, right? Like, I know the Mooninite thing was funny, but this is straight up the anniversary of a terrorism attack in the city.

Moguri is fantastic, and absolutely the best way to experience the game now, but that’s only really helpful on PC.

And here I was worried we'd lose this bit forever with Conan leaving TV.
