its not really guaranteed since most games for the last 4 or 5 years dint even contain all the game data on the disk anyway. Most contain only a little of the data on it and most of it has to be downloaded

There is also just the added value of digital games on xbox. You set console 1 to be your home console then set console 2to auto login your account. Anyone on console 1 can play the game and you can still play the game on console 2. Heck technically if you login in on console 2 on controller 2 anyone can play your…

Kinda weird for people to go “they don’t care about game preservation” when, of the three console manufactuerers, Microsoft has probably done the most to provide gamers with access with older games from previous generations. Yes, I recognize that “stuff can be two things” and the conversation is more nuance than that…

We are surely reaching another shitty gilded age, where the plutocrats patronise artists to write hagiographies and paint self-serving portraiture of them.

if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...

I feel like I’m doing something wrong in life if this nutbag can afford a Tesla and me, a perfectly sane model citizen, can not. 

I’ve played the og resi 4 on different platforms, too many times to actual count. However the laser room completely vanished from my memory after playing the remake. As did the lava room and U3 - although people keep complaining about it.

This guy was lucky to eff around and not quite find out. I’m not sure i’d have the patience to have NOT run him and his door over. At that point you are being attacked, and getting the hell out of there is your best option. 

Never understood why people get hyped up to buy these games annually. I’m a huge sports fan and video gamer but I only buy games once every 3-4 years. It was a neat trick by these companies to add all the gimmicks to get people to spend money to level up a character but I’ve only really been interested in the…

True, but we all know Nintendo is prone to making weird, unexpected decisions. If given the opportunity to chase the moon or to set their goals somewhere closer to home, they seem to prefer chasing the moon.

Yeah the Switch was a phenomenal success and they merged their handheld and console departments for it. In no universe does it make sense for them to say “everyone loved this but let’s ditch the part of the market we’ve always dominated in and just make it TV only.”

As a dad, I value the ability to play portable, so I can sneak in 5 and 10 minute bursts of play. I would much rather it be less pretty and portable than have it be higher powered and static.

my initial thought was “megan fox is still a thing?”.  granted im a decaying corpse but it seems like an odd promotion to me. 

Yeah, I am aware of Cadence of Hyrule, I was actually just playing the original Crypt of the Necrodancer the other day lol.

I’m just glad people finally realized it wasn’t Hayden Christiansen’s fault in the prequels, it was the guy writing/directing him. Also, if you’ve never seen Shattered Glass (also with Rosario Dawson!!), soooo good.

I’m wondering when/if they’ll port the Wii U versions of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker though.

I’m sure we’ll get at least one or two spin-offs or ports in that timeframe. Ideally they’ll keep the cadence of releasing a minor game (AKA, spin-off, port, remake, smaller-title, etc.) between major games. I know we don’t have the DS anymore but I’d be thrilled to see some smaller, DS-sized experiences where they…

It’ll be interesting to see how this works with the individual editions on xbox, I believe I have the xbox one edition of Borderlads 2 from GwG or some other promotion. I know I have tales from the borderlands so we shall see if either one gives the discount.

I’ve stayed at the basic tier when they expanded simply because by the time a hits the service its likely I already own it if I was interested. Gamepass on the other hand has probably saved me tons by not paying extra for day one releases. There are a ton of games on gamepass like Outriders (insert any mediocre game…
