I’d wager that the vast majority of people playing those online games do so over wifi, not a wired connection.

Well, that’s not an objective take because I didn’t find it tedious at all. Perhaps you meant subjective?

Okay here’s the thing: the game is a joy to play, not tedious at all. It’s a series of escalating payoffs and the game literally gets better and more interesting as it goes along. Your mistaken understanding of it points right to why I say there’s a big difference between reading about a game and playing it yourself.…

It probably matters that the NVMe drives in this thing will be custom and not at all the same as the ones you can snap into a desktop, with all that room inside. 

reading spoilers =/= actual experience of playing a game. not even remotely. but I mean, if you’re the kind of person who believes that, I suppose the game isn’t for you anyway.

lol your loss. easily one of the best games of the last decade. don’t get me wrong, sucks that it was broken on pc for literally years - unforgiveable. but your loss all the same.

It’s probably because just like with AAA, the big publishers have selected a very homogenous set of games to push. There’s a whole world of interesting and innovative indie games out there, but not the ones being promoted by Sony or MS or whatever.

I feel like the monthly fee is the only fundamental difference.

I love that a) I called it, that Nintendo was in no way making a 4k handheld just yet and b) that they’re not splitting the player base like certain other mid-gen upgrades have done. Switch is a great console that does that it does and doesn’t attempt anything more, and that’s why I enjoy it. 

Having just watched the digitalfoundry video on how amazing the ps4 version does on ps5 now, I’m really not feeling in the mood to spend $30 to get better haptic feedback and some dlc I don’t want. They should offer the ps5 upgrade free like other first party titles have.

Welp, I’m glad that I decided to finally finish Doom 2016 before starting this one! 

I had no idea Judgment got a ps5 release! I think I’ll have to check that out - especially since I like the idea of Yakuza games but haven’t actually played any beyond a little bit of the first. Seems better to play something self contained than line up an entire series to play.

Life of Pi also had incredible 3D, it’s one of three I feel did the format super well, along with the two you mentioned. A cool thing on the non 3D bluray version is that certain things leap out of the letterbox frame itself, such as the flying fish, to simulate the effect it had in theaters

To be fair, the same could have been said about the original Avatar, and it became the top grossing film. Who knows? It was a big hit in non-US territories too, which helps.

Same here. I never really cared about this idea of having 3 more movie sequels already lined up, but honestly what used as a complaint at the time - that it seemed more like a videogame than a movie at times - is a positive here. I’d love to explore this world as a game much more than I’d want to go to a theater for…

HZD does that really well IMO, and by default your compass even disappears until you tap the touchpad. The world feels both more realistically laid out and it’s also more easily parsed than any of the ubi open worlds I’ve played. BotW too, although it’s so massive there are definitely more stretches of lower detail…

Copyright law is dogshit. But even then, this is a case of a company, Ubisoft, being soft as hell and going out of their way to trash this project on the mere hint that MGM could take action somehow. It’s a lot like how cable companies are now supposedly going to be way faster to drop people from their essential servic…

See, that last paragraph is exactly why I was against having tiered consoles in the first place. First hearing about ps4 pro was bad news to me. The entire appeal of consoles, aside not having to fiddle with settings, is that you buy the box once and then you play games as they’re meant to be played for years on end.…

It does suck that high speed storage is still a big price bottleneck. I’ve already had to delete multiple games on my ps5 to fit new ones, and I’ve only had it 6+ months, which is crazy. I think my ps4 at least went two years before I had to make room - and I actually never had to delete anything off my 320gb PS3!…

For sure, that’s a good way to look at it - a lower end PC that can still run games. The only issue is that we can’t fiddle with settings like we can on PC so it’s up to the developers to accommodate - and I feel like they’re going to do that less as time goes on, so the games will suffer in comparison, even for the…
