I understand the different preferences. But you know, 144hz does make a noticeable difference. And in the TV world, 4K panels supporting HDR does make a difference because of the better contrast and colors (if content supports HDR). Resolution matters only if you can actually see the difference it brings. Mostly, it…

I don’t “get” 4K panels in laptops. I think a 1440p panel would be nice for a 17", and 1080p for a 15" model, but don’t anyone else feel that past some point, there isn’t so much to gain, since we’re not having our face glued to the screen?

Ha, yes.... the “rogue employee” that all companies somehow ends up blaming when their plan backfires on them....

And this is one of the reason why I almost never play mobile games, except those that are “pay once, play forever” type deal. Because to me, altering gameplay elements only so that you can include monetization possibilities is a game-breaking aspect. There is no logical in-game reason at all for this in a game other…

I always find it completely bonkers when people go apesh!t over these kind of things. It’s like the outrage when EA put women into that Battlefield game and people were citing “historical accuracy” as the reason why they were against it. I guess loot boxes and respawns are pretty historically accurate, yes? Same thing…

The problem is that these companies are trying to reason him by asking to look at the bigger picture, which requires more than a 4-sec attention span, something President Orange McPissed isn’t capable of.

Not saying what he mentionned isn’t true (like you say, we witness these kind of things often), but I’d really like to read an in-depth article about this whole thing. Not just a post from someone in a comment section. It would be cool if someone from Kotaku (or any serious game news outlet) could actually do some…

I know. Personnaly, the “men are trash” bit didn’t really made me raise my eyebrow. But the whole “there are exceptions” thing, on the other hand, I think of it as actually more insulting because this was supposed to be thought out. The initial words that were said were mostly a completely understandable emotional…

...but when a CEO tells you “I’m doing this thing because it’s going to make things better for everyone”, you start looking for the razor in the candy floss.

Personally, the only two names on that list I know about are Ariana Grande (never listened, not my style) and The National. Kind ofmakes me feel like I know nothing about music these days (well, maybe nothing about popular music - which I would probably agree - I never listen to top 40 radios or their streaming…

Not because of the load time per se. I can stand longer than usual load times. It all depends on the context. Having to wait 40 seconds when loading up a game is one thing, having to wait 40 seconds every goddamn time you’re starting a race is another.
Also, when loading screens have some animations or light…

This makes me remember an old Dreamcast Demo disc I had back in the day, with something like “Hoyle’s Card games” by Sierra on it, which took litterally about 2 minutes to load. Me and a friend were completely appalled because if you took into account the amount of RAM of the Dreamcast, vs the average speed at which…

not everybody actually wants a better world in general, as long as they can take what’s “theirs” (from whom, they might ask...but they don’t).

I think that difference (loot boxes being digital) is key in understanding the issue. When someone buys baseball cards for instance, or Hatchimals, or Kinder Surprise, even if randomness is an element to consider, they’re getting something tangible that belongs to them. They can collect those things. These things have…

I think something that was lost in most of the latest LEGO games is FOCUS. I literally LOVED the early LEGO SW games, The complete Trilogy is still a favorite of mine. The Cantina serving as a central hub was small, but kept things focused on the gameplay. Each levels were also pretty straightforward, which made for…

I don’t know about the Witcher 3, but Doom 2016 and Skyrim can be played on the GPD Win 1 (I know, I had one), which was more or less in a similar price range to the Switch. Granted, details at minimum and often at a resolution of 540p, and sometimes with some config tweaks, but they were playable (~30fps). Hell, I…

In this era of all-digital, the preservation of ANYTHING will become a challenge. For everyone. The advent of streaming services will eventually get rid of consumer copies althogheter, and consumers will have to rely on corporate entities to preserve their own content. Which is FAR from being guaranteed. Most big…

Aside from who’s having to gain from a lie, Riot’s responve is typical business/marketing drivel BS that’s usually spat out when confronted with a hot issue in the eyes of the public. While I was reading it, I was litterally able to hear all the PR meetings and discussions that went into its redaction, obviously made…

The cartoon look seems generic as hell to me though. I don’t know, there’s something about many modern cartoons that make them look, to me, like they were drawn this way to make production easier. New Scooby Doo cartoons look horrible IMO. Same with Duck Tales. Same with some of those Looney Tunes ones I saw too. It…
