The first version of the game’s character models were, indeed, ripped (with permission) Sims assets.

Who the hell are you reading?

Or replay is great, the right call was made, and that’s a good thing.

Why would you just assume this? Sony is famously hands-off in comparison with other publishers. They didn’t have extra control over the development of the game. If they did, it would’ve been a full exclusive and considered, by them, a first-party title. This was not that. Beyond assisting in marketing, it was beyond…

Oh my gosh. Yes, 2013!

This is brilliant–for the unique and absurd premise, but also for the ways this could provide real insight into complex human emotions surrounding sex, relationships, and intimacy.

I one-hundred percent agree. There were a number of faults I found with the game, from uninspired enemy design to poorly crafted quick-time events to incomplete character development, among others, but the game, at a basic level, often felt pretty good, and many parts of the experience were quite spectacular.

Love seeing it in its same little spot each PAX Prime. I played it at one of the earliest PAXs I ever went to in either 2009 or 2010. PAX 2017, I look and there they are. It’s been a comforting detail that has stayed the same while so much else about the show (and my life) has changed.

Yeah, a heavily-lauded blockbuster is usually optimal and all, but Plus is so satisfying when you get those games you were just on the edge of buying, wanting to try them but not quite confident enough to spring for the purchase.

As something of a part-time pessimist, I appreciate that last line of the piece,

The most conspicuous difference is the ability to pass-through an HDR feed to your television so that when playing regular games you can play them in HDR if your television is capable without having to unplug the PSVR processing unit and directly plug in the PS4. Other minor design changes include an improved…

I mean, a home console is and has been a completely normal place for a 50 hour RPG for a long time. Not everyone would automatically prefer it to be portable.

The processing unit is primarily for outputting a feed of gameplay to your television.

Kinja’d.

Dude, Paul Hartnoll’s a-MA-zing.

Nope. You absolutely don’t need a PS4 Pro. I have a regular PS4 and it works perfectly fine. PS4 Pro provides PSVR some very modest upgrades; that’s all.

Version 1 is all but completely phased out. All of these bundles include the version 2 headset.

When my friend was young, he had three pet chickens. He loved them. Eventually, raccoons/local cats killed each of the chickens. Now he’s grown-up, a Trump voter, and we’re no longer friends.

I’ve always maintained that A.I. is one of the most underrated and underappreciated movies, certainly, in Spielberg’s ouvre, if not just in general.

One of my favorite things about slushies/slurpies/squishies/and-the-like is how few calories they have compared to similar servings of soda.
