I don’t want to add to your pain, but I just got my PS5 (through direct) and the Quality of Life Benefits really cannot be understated. I’ve tried a few different PS4 games in my backlog and the difference in loading is wild. On PS4 I would sip my coffee and send a couple texts between loading screens, no time for…

I mean... sounds like the whole game is told, structured, and balanced around being a roguelike. Calling that padding seems pretty crazy to me. It’s just what the game is. Gamers gotta let the hour number obsession go, too.

It doesn’t need to be long if the experience is great, right? I paid the equivalent of about 70 dollars in the 90s for my video games, which were rarely longer than 2 to 3 hours. No regrets. And the other day I went out to eat with the missus and paid about 90 dollars for a 2,5 hour dinner and drinks. Totally worth it.

Saying Last of Us Part 2 is just a “violence bad” game is like saying Mad Max Fury Road is just a “car chase cool” movie. So comically reductive, Jesus.

You can’t just endlessly want “more”

Don’t get your hopes up for an amazing game.

Kasavin is a smart guy, this is the only acceptable answer because Jen Zee is the best in the business.

Most roguelikes want you to git gud

To be specific without sploilers, beat the game 11 times to see the “true” ending.

They’re good dogs, Wraithfighter

“Guy who hasn’t pet dog doesn’t understand why we pet dog”

“yeah or you could play multiplayer games on a pc for free”

can’t wait to go to a game store and—

I dream of a SSX Tricky remaster

We must go forwards, not backwards! Upwards, not forwards! And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

what if they’re not someone’s personal favorites tho

makes you think

You can’t argue that pop culture doesn’t influence actual culture in a country with a reality TV star as the president.

He has high standards and you like crap, who should we listen to?
