I hear you. I’ve got a PS5, Series X and a good gaming computer in my home office, and I use the PC but not that PS5 or Series X much. I use my downstairs consoles a lot because they’re handy, and I have a Switch and a Rog Ally for gaming if I want something a little more unchained.

Ultimately they’re all pretty great.

Actually, I have TWO series S boxes. I keep my Series X in my upstairs office, and a series S in my living room and another in the family room. My kids play on them, and we use them as media boxes aside.

I bought one Series S basically as a media box and place for the kids to play minecraft, and bought another one

I’ve got a Series S and a Series X, and I have to say I love the S. It ends up getting more playtime due to it’s more convenient location, but the games look just fine on it and the thing is small and cheap. I’m glad MS is sticking with it. 

DF2: Jedi Knight really was excellent and is still somewhat playable. Getting a decent remaster would be phenomenal. 

I don’t think you need them all the time - but they end up coming in handy. Especially when you’ve got the odd rescue mission, being able to misty step to your target and dimension door them back to safe spot is a real benefit.

Otherwise, I think I end up using these workarounds every once in a while. In most cases, I

Yeah. Their Republic Commando port was just terrible, too for the exact same reasons. Nightdive seems to know what they’re doing, though.

Ugh. I circumvented the whole thing. Surprised the ghosts and focused them down before they could go invisible in most of the fights up to the bedroom, and then I Dimension Door’d and Flight’d my way to the roof from there. It just wasn’t worth engaging all that nonsense. 

Wow. How did Nightdive get Dark Forces, when Aspyr got all the other Star Wars remasters?

...Okay, I’ve gone back and looked at the Aspyr-ported Jedi Outcast. I get it now.

Invisible enemies are the worst in BG3. Just horrible, and the haunted house in particular was probably the worst combat encounter in the whole game.

Definitely looks like somebody jumped the gun and published the proposed charges before the Grand Jury agreed to them. Somebody’s getting fired.

Also: Trump can’t pardon himself for these charges if he wins the presidency (god forbid), and there are some variations to Georgia law that are really interesting. Such as:

Bard should get a lot more attention from players.

College of Swords Bard is fantastic: Good spellcasting (healer/damage/buffs), great combat utility with bows if you spec right (including ranged pushback), and bard’s get phenemonal dialog choices.

Also, since you’re CHA based you do fantastically on dialogue checks of

There’s something to this but with the exception of the non-origin romance, there’s a couple things to consider: You’re in a bad situation and all psychically linked, so some increased intimacy is a thing - maybe they should have made it more explicit. But while the first act is more about sex, the remaining acts are

Putting Zidane and Lightning higher than Terra is just a weird choice. Ick.

Right? Some simple 3d models (like ff7-9, or the ff IV DS remake) would be lovely

War of the Lions had some very weird slowdown and loading issues, even on the digital version. If all they did was fix that and put it on PC I’d spend $30 on it. 

Honestly, a real remake to FF6 to bring it up to simple 3d would be everything I’ve wanted for years. I’d recommend the same for Chrono Trigger if I thought they could do it successfully. And they absolutely need to put Dragon Quest VIII into a modern format and modern resolution.

But otherwise... a remaster of FF

Sounds about right. Even just at the beginning of Early Access (Act 1) it could take you 20-30 hours to finish. You could do it much faster than that if you wanted, but there was a ton to do and explore, and multiple ways to accomplish quests or even have simple conversations.

Likewise, there’s a ton of reactivity in

It’s five years, ish.

That said, it’s never stated outright but at least some of the Sheikah/Guardian technology was taken and repurposed for the rebuilding of Hyrule. 

The correct answer is that FF definitely peaked with VI, but that the series remains a pretty cool one that moves with the times.

Complaining about the game (especially on console) is totally legit - it didn’t live up to the hype on PC but was pretty great, and on PS it was legitimately broken.

But it was also definitely a victim of the internet hate train. There’s ALWAYS a game that the internet loves to hate out of all proportion to its actual
