Huh, I really didn’t think so (and you’re the first person to point that out). I even said “about 400 games”, since there are obviously more than that in the total library. But I can see the confusion: the entire BC program only works on the Xbox One consoles (but it is not the entire library of Xbox 360 and Xbox).…

They’re not. This is why I said “+400 games”—there are way more than 400 Xbox 360 and Xbox games. Among my favorites, Dead or Alive 3 and Dead or Alive 4 aren’t, but Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II are. 

It probably will. Even if it didn’t, I seriously doubt they’d both be USB-C. 

Pretty much all Samsung QLEDs (“Quantum” LED--branding nonsense, but they’re unparalleled UHD gaming televisions, even if you’re not worried about OLED burn-in from static elements like menus or the HUD) have Freesync baked in now. It’ll probably become “standard” on UHD sets with more than one HDMI port in the near…

I like it. I don’t think it’s some sort of masterpiece, but I’m not going to make the same claim about Infinity War either. I think it’s visually stunning, and it’s a memorable if cliched twist on Dances with Wolves with the United Fruit massacres and extraterrestrial exploration. I really couldn’t care less about Fern…

Yes I have. And yes, they’re bigger compared to the Xbox One X and (modern) Playstation 4. It matters only as a consideration of whether a PC with the console hardware built into it has an advantage of convenience and size, like if you were moving the hardware around. So it matters to some people sometimes, otherwise…

(That +400 game BC program is Xbox One-only and isn’t available on PC. For some reason I thought that was self-evident, but it might not be.)

You could play the BC Xbox 360 and original Xbox libraries on it, since all those titles are available digitally (which is more than 400 games, if memory serves). Likewise, your current library would carry over.

It’s mysterious, like a lot of things re: PSN. 

I don’t think that’s entirely true, because almost all my precise readings of download speeds on PSN involve me staring at the actual progress meter in the system UI outside of games (to be fair, I don’t always close them out of suspension, but I frequently do). “One-fifth” isn’t just vague guessing, it’s actual math.…

Having finally bought a Playstation 4, I’m frustrated by how agonizingly (it’s a good word for the situation) slow software updates are. I’ve got “average” (240 down/12 up) cable internet from Charter Spectrum. My Xbox One can regularly download games at 100 to 150 mbps.

With PSN, I’m lucky if I get a fifth that on the…

Blades of Time was actually considered a reasonably good looking game—not Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry 4 when they came out, but the environments got praise for their scope and diversity, even if they still looked rather rough at time. It wasn’t considered ugly for a Xbox 360 (or PS3) game at the time, just…

I wonder if it’s a Georgia thing, or even a Metro-Atlanta thing, that Popeye’s isn’t really better than KFC. Church’s is definitely worse, but maybe all the Church’s in this area are a strange anomaly. KFC was the only one of these brands I was aware of before coming to the United States, so it was the “default”…

Impressive, sure, but does it have Adeline Software’s Little Big Adventure?

And on top of that, it’s a terrible name for a bundle!

Ah, that is an issue and remains one. Both the ground and sea components of the Self Defense Forces (Japan’s constitutional military, effectively the country’s postwar army and navy) use the rising sun flag, or a close variation (I don’t know if the Self Defense Forces, as a whole, have any flag). This isn’t too…

A Switch release is unlikely. BUT it’ll almost certainly come to the Xbox store on Windows 10. Possibly even Steam. 

There’s something to be said about a story starting and ending in one go. Hellblade had issues, but that was not one of them. A double-edged sword: we’d like more of Senua. but....

Really all I can say about the Saturn. 

I’m sure in a few years people will feel the same about coming across the odd load screen here or there, at least if promises about what the PS5 will be able to do are to be believed.
