I’ve been hesitant on trying to get a Steam Deck largely because of the dpad placement. It might not matter since a lot of the games I play on steam are more mouse/keyboard focused but I use controllers too and in certain types of games I will always use a dpad to move over the joystick and where the dpad is looks…

Something about this is just funny to me. Maybe because I’ve always thought people look more attractive in clothes or partially undressed than naked, but Bayonetta is so absurd that the idea of anyone getting upset about a filter like this seems silly to me.

Plus, come on, you can’t censor Bayonetta if you tried. That…

Me and my friends used to go to Otakon every summer and the first year we all ended up buying Gundam kits and had a lot of fun putting them together.

So every year after that when we went into the dealer’s room, before we split up to look for goodies, we’d look at each other and ask “Gundam Pact?” and if anyone…

And now I’m hungry. Vanillaware games do this to me too. The food in those games always looks so tasty. Especially the stuff in Muramasa. I get a craving for ramen any time I play it.

If food starts looking this good in 3d games the cravings may never stop.

I don’t have a steam deck but when I was playing stuff on my Vita I used the browser quite frequently and I watch a lot of youtube videos on my Switch (same with my 3ds back in the day). You might be surprised how many people use the web browsers on portable consoles despite the existence of phones. 

Sure, if you wait long enough you could probably get a secondhand disc fairly cheap but it’s a slap in the face to not include them considering how much these special editions cost.

This is incredibly stupid and almost certainly a result of there being two different versions of PS5. They have to include the code for…

Well sure but how many can actually use it without issues? I’m sure plenty of people who were counted by Microsoft or whoever else when they give out these numbers were people who tried to stream a game and ran into input lag or other deal breakers due to terrible internet or whatever. I mean you can’t know if it…

I’ve seen articles talking about Xbox expanding cloud gaming to other countries so I’m assuming it’s not available in all regions/countries yet. But with their current user base, in April Xbox estimated about 10 million people have streamed games through the cloud. That’s a lot of people!

Mandalorian got me because I’d always wanted a starwars show that wasn’t jedi focused. Laser swords are fun but I like sith and jedi more when they’re rare. Doing that wandering samurai or weird hermit thing. When a Jedi or Sith shows up it should be a big deal instead it’s like everyone’s got a lightsaber now.

That was probably a part of it yeah. A lot of Square ports are lazy and it’s not that uncommon for people to port or put games in the series on sale in the eshop when the next new game comes out so getting KH in more hands was to be expected after the trailer for KH4 hit.

Cloud streaming has a LONG way to go however.…

Agreed. The battling is the worst part of Arceus. It was mostly fine in that game because it was more about catching Pokemon (which is my favorite part of the games anyway) than it was about fighting but as you went on more issues started to pop up. The problems with the combat system were even more apparent when…

Seems like they had a good run. Ending things on your own terms after a bunch of success isn’t a bad way to go at all.

I could never get into Zachtonics games because every one seemed to be based on programming and it just wasn’t my thing. But it’s good to see a small studio make some money and retire instead of being…

HoN kept a lot of DoTA mechanics like orb walking and denying and was more or less trying to copy DoTA. So it attracted all the fanatics who basically wanted the same game. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of them jumped ship when DoTA came to steam.

League stripped a lot of those clunky/micro intensive mechanics away…

The hype cycle is pretty cancerous. While it is fun to see trailers and announcements for new games I’d almost rather not know about a project until it’s done than hear everyone whine online about having no games to play or raging at delays or slow updates. I always assume delays are good because it means less crunch…

This is true. I remember listening to a thing about this where they interviewed female narrators and similar and people discriminate on a lot of different aspects you might not think of. Stuff like people being more inclined to ignore or argue with male voices giving instructions, finding higher pitched female voices t…

Ack, well I can’t turn down Mass Effect for free. I’ve been debating on picking it up because playing through ME1 might be too obnoxious but I guess this gives me an excuse to finally see the DLC I missed and the extended cut stuff. I wasn’t part of the crowd that hated the original ending but I heard the stuff they…

it’s an extension thing. When I disabled mine it worked, though I’m not going to do that anytime I want to watch a video here. Might be an adblock related thing too but I’ve got a bunch of tabs open and don’t feel like switching to my other browser to test that.

I just wait for the games to come out on steam because I don’t feel like installing another program on my pc. The free games are nice but gamepass exists too so that’s not enough of a draw for me and I don’t mind the waiting because between console stuff and my steam backlog there’s always something to play while I…

I use twitter to check streaming schedules and to follow a few weird artists who only post their work to twitter instead of an actual site where it doesn’t get compressed or turned into weird formats. It’s still a wretched place though so your points are all valid. Have a star.

I remember when Mortal Kombat Deception did an open world sorta thing for it’s story mode. It wasn’t great. A lot of boring quests that ended in tutorial fights and training before turning into arcade style matches with running around in between.

I think they could make it a bit more fun in Street Fighter because the…
