Just buy a repair kit or some replacement joysticks if you have the tools already, as long as you have good tweezers to grip the ribbon cable right. Replacement sticks are super easy to find, usually in packs of two for around 10 bucks, and iFixit has a great teardown guide. It takes 15 minutes, tops, to open it up,…

Yep, much like FFVI, the GBA version is the best official version, with the Steam version butchered all the same.

Yeah, they’ve already been upfront with this Starfield thing taking priority. Hope the risk pays off.

This feels like the gaming industry equivalent to the darksydephil unboxing video.

Ha, forget Konami. What the hell is Koei Tecmo going to do with the dang thing?

Welp, not that I’d be able to afford the Series X to begin with, that showcase sure wasn’t very convincing.

Hope it doesn’t leak Zelda’s old Tweets, too.

As long as the project only hosts the source code, it’s fine. The source is fully reversed engineered code, and not Nintendo’s, but what the source compiles into could resemble the original binary, which is protected.

A few weeks ago I started looking back at my last-gen catalog. I’ve been getting tired of recent games that have been gradually turning into services that demand more time from me. FOMO, and all that.

God of War: Ghost of Sparta from the HD collection, and maybe a bit of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts that I got in the mail the other day. It’s an awful Banjo Kazooie game, but I think on its own, with all the vehicle mechanics, it’s at least a decent enough game.

You can count on Ubisoft to get a head start on trying to upsell multiple editions and season passes before showing the first second of gameplay.

I can appreciate MS in trying, and at least still supports their last gen stuff, as opposed to the folks over in the blue corner. Though PS+ still has them beat yet again, allegedly getting Dying Light and Dark Souls Remastered for May.

(This is clearly sponsored content, but I’ll play along.)

Maybe Zone of the Enders 2 out of the HD collection. Jesus, I had no idea how short the first one was gonna be. Start to finish, was done with that game in a single morning. But now gonna try finishing God of War 2 and get to the Origins Collection or Ascension.

And it only took a year to catch up, for some reason.

True, they’re in the business of games, but physical media ownership should be much more straightforward than digital, where I don’t think GameFly has to answer to anyone when distributing used games.

Gamefly is a mail rental service for used physical media. That’s an entirely different industry.

And that’s where that difference is probably the main point of contention. You own the license to the game, and for PS4 Remote play or Steam Link, you also own the hardware. Or a friend does, who gave you permission to have access to it for a set period of time.

Shit, I didn’t finish my thought. “I think it boils down to how their model is setup.”

That’s a good point, I didn’t think about how Now is functionally similar to a cafe. Though I’m sure if there was a net cafe that operated on a scale like GeForce Now, rather than around a dozen local machines to use at a time, publishers would go after them as well.
