Oh. That's great to know! I may actually just upgrade the battery in a few months than. 

My launch dualsense is still working well. It gets grimy which sucks and the battery life is not very good for games that use adaptive triggers and haptics but I can still play two days (4-5 hours) without needing to charge it. 

I think games should have opt-in menus for MTs/in-game stores given early on when we accept those EULA terms. There are ways to not make them predatory without resorting to harsh methods like selling the console.

It was expected. Heck I remember old Kotaku defending loot boxes in Overwatch for the longest time. Games media played a big role in allowing it to happen. It was only when Battlefront 2 and Shadow of War came out that the conversation changed.

Honestly I think they’re right. Gaming definitely preys on those easily addicted and I’ve been a victim to it. I was banned from playing RuneScape and FIFA as a kid because it affected my sleep and grades in school.

It is really good. Another one which I do like but is a lot more linear and kinda based on fetch quests is Paradise Lust. Great art in that game.

I always use the share button to take screenshots. I then use a USB drive to keep them. I forgot it was actually meant for sharing things online immediately 

Both Ryuji and Ann really add nothing to the game once their story with Kamoshida is finished. They both become tropes.

P5R was my first Persona title and overall I liked it but it was in-spite of the rather stupid story and even stupider cast of characters. It was also 25-30 hours too long with the story spinning it’s wheels in the Okamura and Mona missing chapters as well as the end game story.

I find myself in a similar place but my other major issue with Xbox is that this gen a lot of their exclusives so far even from Bethesda have not wowed me. Pentiment is one of the best games I’ve played on Xbox and it is maybe the only game I actually consider good from them this gen (FH5 is not for me and the…

The funny think about MGS is it is a series where men are shirtless just as often as the women. The big difference is the men do it heroically while the women have it for tragic reasons. Quiet was a great character but the reasons for her costume was stupid. Kojima getting upset was even stupider and he should’ve gone…

It is a surprisingly big issue when you remember that Miles in SV uses Jordans while Insomniac Miles uses Adidas. A lot of black twitter absolutely clowned on Insomniac Miles for not wearing Jordans.

Hopefully they’re both actually friends again. Time is the greatest healer after all.

He was an incredible actor. Watching him in the Good Wife and Good Fight really showed a man who could switch between charm and menace in a heartbeat.

The only one I can think of in recent years is the The Big Bang Theory cast. Whatever people think of the show, it is visible in press junkets and live on set that that group are friends outside of work.

Narrative definitely in my top 5. It was a piss poor game to play though. Too many systems designed around a multiplayer mode that sucked. The world was way TOO big with extremely boring traversal. Great for immersion but not as much for game play.

You can tell that they had way too many ideas and rewrites but the mechanics and the world definitely had a lot of sequel potential. 

7 for me but completely agree about whiney babies. Same for Forspoken. It had good ideas and I think a sequel could’ve fleshed the mechanics into a great game.

Not surprised. The PS plus release of FO76 LITERALLY saved the game. Also a lot of people played AW when it came a few months back. Helped sales of the sequel where I live. 

Also the PS2 near the end of life started selling like crazy in places like India which were just beginning to see the fruits of liberalization and quality of life for middle class urban families got better.. It is why you see games like God of War Ragnarok have queues over there for midnight launches. The PS2 and Max…
