I actually think the colors look better on the Series X back-compat version. The sharper shadows don’t look as good on PS either, it’s such an odd, half-assed, over-priced port, and yet Rockstar will sell tons of copies. 

The goal is to grow the Game Pass sub base, which can be accessed on multiple devices. MS will happily take a hit on overall unit sales if they can entice even 5% of people who’d play on PlayStation to instead access Game Pass via PC, mobile device or streaming, and they know a big Bethesda SP RPG is the kind if…

You can tell this article was written by someone that only games on Playstation. Have you even tried to comprehend the hypocrisy that Sony is throwing out there?

It’s still unclear to me how UK regulators figure they have any means to prevent the purchase of one US-headquartered company by another US-headquartered company. Other than by telling them they can’t sell their software in the country? Which, considering it’s Microsoft we’re talking about... Good luck?

“While a Bloodborne 2 is clearly top of mind for many, rumors have swirled about a possible remaster of the game for PS5 in the vein of 2020’s Demon’s Souls Remake.”

Sure but they were talking about the size of the companies compared. Then their balance sheets aren’t a meaningful data point. When they say only 100B more in net assets, their net assets are 4/5 of Sony’s net worth. Idk, seemed like a weird point to make. 

Other than MOST people I absolutely love my Xbox One X and played it like double the time of my PS4, even though I would say, that the latter had the better exclusive games, especially for an JRPG fan. So I naturally was pretty excited, that it is now called “easy to buy”. I have not tried to get one for MONTHS, so I…

Forced? I don’t think a team would put this insane amount of work into choregraphing those fights so you can see their tells and prepare yourself. It’s a good idea to ask for help or cheese when you’re not having fun, but to say that they force you into it seems short-sighted to me when you consider all that…

Honestly, anyone who read any previews should have figured out that the game was intended to be open-world Deus Ex, not sci-fi GTA. CDPR has never made a game with dynamic, open-world systems so I’m not sure why anyone expected that from CP2077.

“Can’t afford” arguments are lazy. Just because I can afford something doesn’t mean I feel that I should pay it.

I’m not sure what you consider “features”, but on my Series X there are substantial visual upgrades and better performance tailored to the Series X upgrade version. It’s not simply running on better hardware. It’s a game tailored to the hardware capable of ray tracing, native 4K/HDR, 60-120FPS, etc. When I was on…

the point is normalizing the $69.99 price point. nothing else than “we want an extra $10 from you chucklefucks to line our CEO/Shareholder’s pockets, we know you will pay it, and we know some of you will even DEFEND it saying it will trickle down to our abused and ununionized staff.”

Some people who don’t own a PS4 are waiting for the PS5 to play PS4 games. So no, don’t delay. Launch titles are meaningless these days.

Truthfully, it’s -very- uncommon for next-gen consoles to have titles that really -sell- the hardware and make clear that it’s worth upgrading at the start.

Your brave comment on a blog article is really gonna make him change all right lol

So I’ve got a PS4, Xbox One, and a pretty good desktop computer. This last year Gamepass has made my Xbox my most played console. I could see how it’s not for some people but man you get a ton of variety with it. Plus with Witcher 3 and all of Final Fantasy coming it’s going to keep me busy. 

There was a 1 country 2 systems agreement. Not that China has a good track records of abiding by agreements.

Because it sends the clear (and clearly true) message: “we’re talking, but we are not listening.”

And yet its open for all other news. That’s what makes it notable and/or sad. 

Most video game shotguns are underwhelming wastes of ammo because of the spread. For some reason, video game devs think that every shotgun has a 2 inch long barrel. The spread is so wide that it makes them ineffective at anything but point blank range.
