I see that concept of sunk cost so often with people striving for 100% completion and I never understand it.  So often people complain about how hard, unfun, time consuming and miserable it is to 100% a particular game (especially open world games), yet they continue trying to do it while simultaneously complaining…

Personally, dashing straight for the fast travel points is a quick way for me to get bored.  Fast travel in general makes me feel too disconnected from the world and when I lose where I am in the world, I stop wanting to explore.  So I don't rush that part at all.

You’re missing the entire point. I ABSOLUTELY covered why it’s not available on the PS4. It wouldn’t be a desirable feature that encourages people to buy the PS5 if they can already get it on PS4. To the people who either own a PS4 but don’t have most of these games or people who never owned a PS4, this collection…

Soundtrack aside, this game is quite bad.  I'd stick to listening to the tunes on YouTube.

If you -JUST- see it as another way to promote a gaming environment, then you’re being deliberately obtuse or you’re lacking imagination. I’ve never published a single screenshot or video online. It has plenty of other purposes, like keeping memories for yourself of moments you enjoyed. Also, it doesn’t remotely do…

He says it doesn't upload it, but that's not strictly true.  After you save a video, it allows you to upload it to a linked online video account with the click of a button.  It just doesn't HAVE to be uploaded, but it will ask you every time with video unless you disable it.

Considering the millions of clips out there at launch, it seems people managed.  Though it does certainly make it easier.

Kotaku is already dead. It’s like a character in a sci-fi tv series that died a few seasons ago but some creature inhabited the corpse and is wearing it like a suit.  Just walking around, kind of pretending to be something it's not.

I kind of hate the Share button on the PS4 because it’s so slow and laggy. It never captures a screenshot of the precise moment I want, unless it’s staged. It always lags a few seconds before taking the image so I rarely can take something in the middle of a cool moment and come out with a good image. I’ve found the…

It isn’t Game Pass and it isn’t meant to be. The idea is it’s supposed to be a courting thing for users who DIDN’T own a PS4 and it’s supposed to help entice you to go from Xbox or PC or Switch, etc to buy a PS5 and instantly have twenty of the best games on the system. It’s not meant to be a monthly subscription…

Well, it absolutely is a violation of the terms of service to allow someone else to login to your account. It’s also illegal in some countries to sell the digital rights to something like an account when you aren’t the owner of it (because you aren’t, Sony is).

You’re turning this into an argument that it isn’t. There aren’t any rights to games that you own being taken from you. I’m not saying that isn’t a thing that can happen or that is happening, to a degree. OBVIOUSLY digital ownership is less like true ownership than having a physical product and obviously many still…

I’m struggling to see the hype for this game. I say this as a big Demon’s Souls fan. I played the hell out of the original and I personally liked it more than the Dark Souls games. But no one else seemed to feel that way. Most Souls fans said it was far worse and didn’t really even acknowledge Demon’s Souls as part of…

Hard to agree there. Demon’s Souls was a good game, but I already played it to death. And while I personally liked it more than most, it wasn’t even a particularly popular game. Most Souls fans didn’t like it, claimed it was the worst in the series or never even wanted to bother playing it because it wasn’t as modern…

“There are koroks to find too, though hopefully not 900 of them.”

That's not strictly true.  You unlock new content and challenges and side stuff on the map after the first chapter.  You may not be able to do the second chapter story missions, but you can do more than just the first chapter as well.

It's more blurry than I'd like, but saying it's almost unplayable is wildly untrue.  It was completely playable with no issues whatsoever in terms of ability to play.  It just wasn't as enjoyable because it was uglier than I wanted.

I have to agree about Damage Control.  Seems crazy to me that anyone could think a single hit is TERRIBLE, but 15% more HP is essentially nothing.  For most of the weapons, and particularly against any of the beefier enemies, a single hit isn't going to do 15% damage to a target, meaning Damage Control would for sure…

I was 5 years old when the SNES hit the market in the back half of 1990 and like most kids, I was dying for some Super Mario World. My parents stated under no uncertain terms that they weren’t going to buy it. That’s fine. Parents don’t owe their kids a new Nintendo, so my two siblings and I (5, 7 and 11) spent nearly…

I don't think it's really accurate to call this "endgame".  To categorize anything post-win first time as endgame isn't really what the term means in gaming and it mostly just ends up confusing people who don't understand the general flow of a roguelike.  Beating them the first time, usually, isn't really beating the…
